14 The Future VIT & The Commonwealth of Virginia 14

15 VIT VALUE VIT s sole duty is to the citizens of the Commonwealth of Virginia. A private operator s duty is to its shareholders. VIT promotes only Virginia. A private operator will promote alternate areas of its operation when it is financially advantageous to do so. VIT promotes private firms so they may thrive within the terminals operating structure, such as the private stevedores, maintenance, and repair companies. VIT presents the lowest risk option to the Commonwealth. VIT s policies have enabled entrepreneurial ventures to succeed, such as the 64 Express Richmond Barge operation and Cross Globe Inc., bringing innovative ideas, commerce, and jobs to the Commonwealth. VIT has had a more than significant role in creating: 343,000 Virginia Jobs 41.1 billion in revenue 13.5 billion in employee compensation 1.2 billion in tax revenue Virginia International Terminals Future Cash Transfers to the VPA $13 Billion (Net of APMT Rents) (48 year period commencing 2013) 400,000, ,000, ,000, ,000, ,000, ,000, ,000,000 50,000,000 - VIT SERVES VIRGINIA AND VIRGINIA ONLY, NOT ANOTHER REGION, STATE, PORT, OR CITIZENRY. NET PRESENT VALUE > $3.7 Billion 15

16 FUTURE CAPITAL EXPENDITURES The anticipated future capital requirements discussed below are consistent with the VPA 20 year Master Plan. All are expressed in 2012 dollars. Total Capital expenditures at VPA s terminals over the next 20 years are estimated to be $906 million. Approximately $241 million of this figure is to accomplish the APMT Phase II expansion. This will be funded from Terminal Revenues. The remaining balance, approximately $665 million, is for terminal maintenance and equipment replacement. These also will be funded from Terminal Revenues. Terminal Revenues are generated by VIT s operations. 16

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

18 VIRGINIA INTERNATIONAL TERMINALS: THE LOWEST RISK OPTION AVAILABLE PROVIDES FLEXIBILITY TO THE COMMONWEALTH TO REACT TO ECONOMIC CHANGES. WITH A 48 TO 50 YEAR CONCESSION, THAT CONTROL IS LOST, ESSENTIALLY FOR A LIFE TIME. THE COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA IS THE SOLE BENEFICIARY OF ALL MONETARY AND ECONOMIC BENEFITS GENERATED BY VIRGINIA INTERNATIONAL TERMINALS. 18
