NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED that on the 5th day of January, 2026 at 9:30 A.M., the Honorable John Martin, Judge of the Superior Court of the Chattahoochee Judicial Circuit, at the Muscogee County Courthouse, will hear the case of the STATE OF GEORGIA, Plaintiff, v. THE HOUSING AUTHORITY OF COLUMBUS, GEORGIA and PROVIDENCE POINTE APARTMENTS, L.P., Defendants, Civil Action File No. SU2025CV002720, in the Superior Court of Muscogee County, the same being a proceeding to confirm and validate an issue of The Housing Authority of Columbus, Georgia Multifamily Housing Revenue Bonds (Providence Pointe Project), Series 2026 (the "Bonds"), in the aggregate principal amount not to exceed $20,000,000. The Bonds are to be issued by The Housing Authority of Columbus, Georgia (the "Issuer") for the purpose of financing the costs of acquisition, rehabilitation, furnishing and equipping of an approximately 102-unit multifamily housing project to be located on at or near 2452 Brownie Lane, Columbus, Georgia 31903 (the "Project") in furtherance of the purposes of the Housing Authorities Law of the State of Georgia (O.C.G.A. § 8-3-1, et seq.), as amended (the "Act"). In order to finance the Project, the Issuer will loan the proceeds of the Bonds to Providence Pointe Apartments, L.P., a Georgia limited partnership, pursuant to a Loan Agreement, to be dated as of the first day of the month in which the Bonds are issued. In said proceeding the Court will also pass upon the validity of said Loan Agreement, a Note, a Trust Indenture and a Regulatory Agreement in connection therewith. The Bonds will not constitute a debt or a general obligation within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory debt limitation or restriction or a pledge of the faith and credit of the State of Georgia or any political subdivision thereof, including Columbus, Georgia (the "City"), but will constitute limited obligations of the Issuer and will be payable solely from amounts owing from the Borrower pursuant to the Loan Agreement and specific revenues and property assigned and pledged to the payment thereof. Neither the State of Georgia, nor any political subdivision thereof, including the City, shall be subject to any pecuniary liability thereon, nor shall the Bonds constitute a charge, lien or encumbrance upon any property of the Issuer, said State, said political subdivisions including the City, other than amounts owing from the Borrower pursuant to the Loan Agreement assigned and pledged to the payment thereof. No owner of the Bonds shall ever have the right to compel the exercise of the taxing power of said State or said political subdivisions, including the City, to pay the same or the interest thereon. THE ISSUER WILL NOT CONDUCT ANY "PERFORMANCE AUDIT" OR "PERFORMANCE REVIEW" WITH RESPECT TO THE BONDS AS SUCH TERMS ARE DESCRIBED IN O.C.G.A. § 36-82-100. Any citizen of the State of Georgia residing in the City, or any other person wherever residing who has a right to object, may intervene and become a party to this proceeding. /s/ Danielle F.
