Introduction to LUL PPP : Introduction to LUL PPP
Introduction to LUL PPP : Introduction to LUL PPP Following the general election in 1997, the UK Government considered various options for LUL to reverse a generally acknowledged lack of investment in the Underground Network
The Government concluded that full privatization was not the best solution and instead opted for a Public-Private Partnership (PPP)
To facilitate the implementation of the LUL PPP, the infrastructure maintenance business of LUL was reorganized into three separate divisions responsible for different Lines of the Underground Network called “Infracos”
On May 2, 2001, the Metronet Consortium was appointed preferred bidder for Infraco BCV. The same consortium was subsequently appointed preferred bidder for Infraco SSL on September 19, 2001. The last Infraco JNP was awarded to another consortium (“Tubelines”)
Financial Close was achieved on April 4, 2003

Key Features of LUL PPP :
Key Features of LUL PPP LUL retains core operations through “Opsco”
overall management responsibility
ticketing, drivers, timetabling, network control, patronage risk
Metronet and Tubelines have acquired shares in the Infraco’s
Infraco scope includes:
Maintenance of assets
Financing
Replacement of rolling stock and
Upgrading of E&M systems, structures, trackwork and stations
Statutory Framework : Statutory Framework The GLA Act established the new arrangements for the Governance of Greater of London by the Greater of London Authority
TfL was formed as a statutory corporate body pursuant to the GLA Act to act as the executive arm of the GLA responsible for implementing the Mayor’s integrated transport strategy
TfL is funded largely by a combination of internally generated sources (fare revenues), GLA grants and Mayor’s allocation to TfL of general purpose central government grant. There are other sources coming from the Mayor’s office
Statutory Framework : Statutory Framework The Secretary of State can also provide additional funding to GLA
TfL was assigned a credit rating of “AA” by S&P on June 6, 2000 and is currently rated “AA” with a negative outlook
Under the Service Contract LUL has the obligation to ensure that when the ownership of LUL is transferred from LRT to TfL, the obligations of LRT under the Guarantee are also transferred to TfL
A Letter of Comfort (not a guarantee) was also issued by the Secretary of State. Lenders viewed this “implicit government support” as central in their risk assessment
Service Contract : Service Contract The Service Contract is the “centerpiece” of the PPP contractual structure
The Service Contract is for a period expiring 30 years from Financial Close achieved on April 4, 2003
This 30-year period is divided into four (4) periods each of 7.5 years
At the end of each of the first three (3) periods there will be a Periodic Review under which (and subject to certain limitations) LUL will be allowed to require changes to the services the Infraco will be required to provide and/or the terms on which they will be provided
Metronet Service Contract obligations : Metronet Service Contract obligations Maintenance
Ensure (new/inherited) assets maintained to contractual standards
Upgrade of Assets
Deliver line upgrades (new trains and signals)
Modernisation and refurbishment of stations
Capability - JTC improvements to increase number of passengers carried
Performance
Availability - Improve reliability of trains, signals and stations based asset
Ambience - Improve cleanliness of trains and stations
Services Points - Improve rectification times for minor faults on trains and stations In return for services provided, Metronet will be paid monthly an Infrastructure Service Charge (ISC)
The Infrastructure Service Charge (ISC) : The Infrastructure Service Charge (ISC) The ISC is being adjusted to reflect the Infraco ’s performance:
The Infracos revenues will be increased if performance for Capability, Ambience and Availability exceeds the performance benchmark (capped bonuses except for Availability)
Infracos revenues will be reduced if performance falls below the benchmark measures (uncapped abatements and twice the rate for increase of revenues for improved performance)
The ISC is also subject to annual indexation based on RPIX and is being paid each four weekly periods
The ISC is an amount that was fixed at Financial Close for the first 7.5 years
Infrastructure Service Charge (ISC) : Infrastructure Service Charge (ISC) At each Periodic Review, the ISC will be reset by agreement between the parties or, where the parties cannot agree, by direction from the Statutory Arbiter if abbreviated dispute resolution process fails
The Arbiter is a central figure in this PPP and has been appointed by the Secretary of State under the GLA Act. He is independent of LUL/TfL
Statutory Arbiter : Statutory Arbiter The role of the Statutory Arbiter:
To ensure that LUL has the opportunity to review and amend the requirements imposed or proposed to be imposed on the infraco under the Service Contract
To promote efficiency and economy in the provision, construction, renewal, improvement and maintenance of the infrastructure
To ensure that any rate of return incorporated in the Service Contract would, in the opinion of the Statutory Arbiter, be earned by a company which is efficient & economic
To enable an infraco to plan the future performance of its obligation under the Service Contract with reasonable certainty
The Arbiter can be asked to intervene during:
Periodic Reviews; and
Extraordinary Reviews
Periodic Reviews : Periodic Reviews This periodic review concept distinguishes this PPP from a standard UK PFI/PPP
This concept was introduced because:
(i) LUL required the flexibility to changes the service requirements (i.e. the “Restated Terms”);
(ii) LUL recognized that it was not possible to obtain fixed prices for 30 years; and
(iii) It also provides a major mitigant against potential costs overruns.
Each year Infraco may request the Statutory Arbiter that he confirms if Infraco is operating in an economic & efficient manner
Economic & Efficient : Economic & Efficient This concept is critical in several respects:
It will affect both Infracos’ recovery of additional costs or shortfalls in revenues at an Extraordinary Review and whether the level of ISC should be adjusted following the finalization of financing at a Periodic Review
The direction by the Statutory Arbiter will affect the level of compensation payable upon Mandatory sale initiated as a result of a Periodic Review
Infraco may request guidance from the Statutory Arbiter in the form an annual report. It will give Infraco an opportunity to remedy any “shortcomings”
Infraco may also request from the Statutory Arbiter’s direction as to the level of costs or shortfalls in revenues which have up to that time qualified as “Net Adverse Effects”
Extraordinary Review : Extraordinary Review An Extraordinary Review can also be instigated by an Infraco when the Infraco has incurred, or expects to incur, additional costs or shortfalls in revenues which are in excess of an agreed Base Case level within any Review Period

Performance measurements : Performance measurements
Performance Revenue Measure : Performance Revenue Measure Capability
A measure of the passenger’s journey time from entering the Station to exiting on reaching his destination
Availability
A measure of the reliability of the Rolling Stock, Signalling, Track & Station based equipment, assessed in terms of the impact on passengers ’ lost Customer Hours (LCH). The impact of failures and delays varies by location, time of the day and day of the week. Incidents are recorded daily with Availability scores determined as three month rolling averages
Performance Revenue Measure : Performance Revenue Measure Ambience
A measure of the condition and cleanliness of Trains and Stations. Trains and Stations surveys by “Mystery Shopper”. Scores are weighted by Station and by Line to obtain an Infraco average score. Each is recorded at least once quarterly with an Infraco’s ambience score only being calculated once a quarter
In addition, Services Points subject to a threshold could be incurred for failure to meet specific obligations under the Service Contract or failure to rectify certain faults promptly

Funding Plan : Funding Plan
LUL Financing Requirements : LUL Financing Requirements
LUL requires that Metronet secure committed financing for Period 1 only (i.e. the first 7.5 years) as the Infrastructure Service Charge (ISC) paid by LUL to Metronet will not be totally sufficient to support the Capex & Opex program
LUL did not require further committed funding on the basis that the costs of committing financing 7.5 years in advance for additional support required in subsequent would have been prohibitive and not accessible in the capital market
Financing worth £2.6 Billion : Financing worth £2.6 Billion Third party financing of Metronet is on a non-recourse basis to the shareholders
Debt facilities include:
Bank Base Facility to fund the capital, operating and financing costs of Infraco in performing its obligations set out in the Service Contract
Bank Liquidity facility to fund cost overruns or revenues shortfalls
Protected Cost Facility to fund in each contract year of Infraco costs certified by LUL to be related to changes in safety requirements or qualifying changes in law
Financing worth £2.6 Billion : Financing worth £2.6 Billion Equity from shareholders in the form of share capital and shareholders loans. Each shareholder committed £35 M per infraco
Returns on investment will depend on Metronet’s performance. Such returns expected to be in line with other UK Private Finance Initiative projects
