Fixed-Income Analyst

TL;DR: Tiny US$250k, 11-month 4.29% note; routine funding with negligible balance-sheet impact.

At just US$250k, this Series D tranche is economically immaterial for NRUC, whose funding needs typically run into the billions. The 4.29% coupon aligns with current short-term cooperative finance spreads and was issued at par with no dealer concession, suggesting a direct sale to a single investor or affiliate. The note is uncertificated and non-callable, standard for short-dated corporate paper. Because the supplement allows unlimited aggregate issuance, future tap issues could be larger, but this document on its own does not alter leverage, liquidity, or credit outlook in any meaningful way.
