On January 10, 2017, Casella Waste Systems, Inc. (the Company)
announced that it has commenced the remarketing of $3.6 million
aggregate principal amount of Finance Authority of Maine (FAME)
Solid Waste Disposal Revenue Bonds (Casella Waste Systems, Inc.
Project) Series 2005R-1 (the 2005R-1 Bonds) and $21.4 million
aggregate principal amount of FAME Solid Waste Disposal Revenue
Bonds (Casella Waste Systems, Inc. Project) Series 2005R-2 (the
2005R-2 Bonds). The 2005R-1 Bonds and the 2005R-2 Bonds are being
remarketed as one series of bonds to be known as the 2005R-3
Bonds. The 2005R-3 Bonds are expected to bear a fixed rate of
interest for an agreed interest rate period. The fixed interest
rate and interest rate period on the 2005R-3 Bonds are subject to
market and other conditions, and there can be no assurance as to
whether the remarketing will be completed. The Company has issued
a notice of a mandatory tender for the 2005R-1 and 2005R-2 Bonds.
The remarketing is expected to become effective on February 1,
2017. The FAME Solid Waste Disposal Revenue Bonds were originally
issued on December 28, 2005 and have a final maturity of January
1, 2025. The 2005R-3 Bonds will be guaranteed by all or
substantially all of the Companys subsidiaries. The 2005R-3 Bonds
are not a general or contingent obligation of FAME, or of the
State of Maine, and are payable solely from amounts received from
the Company under the 2005R-3 Bonds indenture. The 2005R-3 Bonds
are being offered only to qualified institutional buyers as
defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the Securities Act).

The 2005R-3 Bonds have not been and will not be registered under
the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United
States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act and other
applicable securities laws.

As of November 30, 2016, after giving pro forma effect to the
proposed remarketing, the Company and the Guarantors would have
had approximately $522.1 million of aggregate outstanding
indebtedness (excluding approximately $21.7 million of
outstanding undrawn letters of credit issued under the Companys
senior credit facility (the Senior Credit Facility)) under the
following debt arrangements: $65.1 million under the revolving
credit line available under the Senior Credit Facility, $350.0

Business Finance Authority of the State of New Hampshire solid
waste disposal revenue bonds, $40.0 million principal amount of

unused commitments under the Senior Credit Facility. As of
November 30, 2016, the Company also had $6.7 million of
additional indebtedness outstanding, including capital leases and
seller financing notes. In addition, the terms of the Companys
existing indebtedness permit the Company to incur additional
debt, which could be pari passu with or senior in right of lien
priority to the 2005R-3 Bonds.
