The School Corporation also reserves the right to reduce the principal amount of the 2025A Bonds and 2025C Bonds to be issued in order to receive no more than $6,600,000 in proceeds from the sale of each of the 2025A Bonds and 2025C Bonds, and in the event of such principal amount reduction to adjust principal amounts within maturities of the 2025A Bonds and 2025C Bonds, as applicable. Except as may be agreed to by the School Corporation and the successful bidder, all payments of interest on the Bonds will be paid by check or draft mailed one business day prior to each interest payment date, to the registered owners of the Bonds at the address as it appears on the registration books kept by the Registrar and Paying Agent as of the last day of the month preceding the interest payment date or at such other address as is provided to the Registrar and Paying Agent in writing by such registered owner. Except as may be agreed to by the School Corporation and the successful bidder, principal on the Bonds will be payable at the principal corporate trust office of the Paying Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) so long as DTC or its nominee is the registered owner of the Bonds, principal of and interest on the Bonds will be paid directly by the Paying Agent to DTC by wire transfer on the interest payment dates and principal payment dates in accordance with the procedures required by DTC, and (b) so long as all of the outstanding Bonds are held by one accredited investor, principal of and interest on the Bonds may be paid directly by the Paying Agent to DTC by wire transfer on the interest payment dates and principal payment dates without presentment of the Bonds. The Bonds may be transferred or exchanged at the office of the Registrar, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Bonds. REDEMPTION PROVISIONS. None of the Bonds shall be subject to optional redemption prior to maturity. Upon the election of the successful bidder with respect to the Bonds, any of the Bonds may be issued as term bonds subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption on January 15 and July 15 of the year set forth above at 100% of the face value in accordance with the schedule set forth above. If any of the Bonds are subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption, the Paying Agent shall credit against the mandatory sinking fund requirement for any term bonds and corresponding mandatory sinking fund redemption obligation, in the order determined by the School Corporation, any term bonds maturing on the same date which have previously been redeemed (otherwise than as a result of a previous mandatory redemption requirement) or delivered to the Paying Agent for cancellation or purchased for cancellation by the Paying Agent and not theretofore applied as a credit against any redemption obligation. Each term bond so delivered or canceled shall be credited by the Paying Agent at 100% of the principal amount thereof against the mandatory sinking fund obligation on such mandatory obligations and the principal amount of that term bond to be redeemed by operation of the mandatory sinking fund requirement shall be accordingly reduced; provided, however, the Paying Agent shall credit such term bonds only to the extent received on or before forty-five days preceding the applicable mandatory redemption date. Notice of any mandatory sinking fund redemption will be mailed by first class mail by the Paying Agent not less than 30 days prior to the date selected for redemption to the registered owners of all of the Bonds to be redeemed at the address shown on the registration books of the Registrar; provided, however, that failure to give such notice by mailing or a defect in the notice or the mailing as to such Bonds will not affect the validity of any proceedings for redemption as to any other Bonds for which notice is adequately given. Notice having been mailed, such Bonds designated for redemption will, on the date specified in such notice, become due and payable at the then applicable redemption price. On presentation and surrender of such Bonds in accordance with such notice at the place at which the same are expressed in such notice to be redeemable or as otherwise agreed to by the School Corporation and set forth in the Bonds, such Bonds will be redeemed by the Paying Agent for that purpose. From and after the date of redemption so designated, unless default is made in the redemption of such Bonds, interest on such Bonds designated for redemption will cease. INTEREST RATES. A separate bid must be submitted for each series of the Bonds; each bid must be for all of such series of the Bonds and must state the rate or rates of interest therefor, not exceeding the maximum per annum interest rate hereinbefore specified. Such interest rate or rates must be in multiples of one-eighth (1/8) or one-one hundredth (1/100) of one percent (1.00%). Bids specifying more than one interest rate must also specify the amount and maturities of such series of the Bonds bearing each rate. All Bonds of a specific series maturing on the same date shall bear the same rate of interest, and the interest rate bid on any maturity of a specific series of Bonds shall be equal to or greater than the interest rate bid on any and all prior maturities of such series of Bonds. Although not a term of sale, it is requested that each bid show the total dollar cost to final maturity and the net interest cost on the entire issue to which such bid relates. BIDDING DETAILS. Any person interested in submitting a bid for the Bonds may furnish written notice of such intent along with such person’s name, address and telephone number, on or before 11:00 a.m. (Indianapolis time), November 5, 2025, to the Municipal Advisor at the e-mail address set forth above. The person may also furnish a telex or e-mail address. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any person or entity registered in PARITY® will be automatically deemed to have complied with the foregoing requirements for so long as such person or entity is registered in PARITY®. In addition to sending the notice on PARITY®, the School Corporation will cause each person so registered to be notified of the date and time bids will be received for the Bonds not less than twenty-four (24) hours before the date and time of sale. The notification shall be made by telephone at the number furnished by such person and also by telex and electronically if a telex or e-mail address has been furnished. No conditional bid or bids for less than ninety-nine and one-half percent (99.5%) of the par value of the respective series of the Bonds will be considered. The School Corporation reserves the right to reject any and all bids and to waive any informality in any bid. If no acceptable bid is received on the date fixed for sale of all of the Bonds, the sale may be continued from day to day thereafter without further advertisement for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days, but if so continued, no bid will be accepted which offers a net interest cost which is equal to or higher than the best bid received at the time fixed for the sale. A bidder for the Bonds may purchase bond insurance to guarantee the repayment of the debt service of the Bonds from a bond insurance company; provided, however, the payment of any premium for any such bond insurance will be paid by the successful bidder from its discount bid, and will not be paid by the School Corporation. Each of the bids for the Bonds not submitted via PARITY® shall (i) be sent with a cover page if sent electronically marked “South Bend Community School Corporation, Indiana, General Obligation Bonds, Series 2025A, 2025B and 2025C”; (ii) be on the form approved by the School Corporation, without additions, alterations or erasures, which form may be obtained from the Municipal Advisor at the e-mail address set forth herein; and (iii) be delivered to the Municipal Advisor on behalf of the School Corporation at the e-mail address set forth above. A bidder must submit a bid for all series of the Bonds if it submits a bid for any series of the Bonds. A bidder must submit the bid for each series of the Bonds on a separate bid form and may not include any pricing or coupon information regarding any other series of the Bonds on such bid form. INTERNET BIDS. If using PARITY®, bidders must first visit the PARITY® web site where, if they have never registered with PARITY®, they can register and then request admission to bid on the Bonds. Only NASD registered broker dealers and dealer banks with DTC clearing arrangements will be eligible to bid via PARITY®. Any questions pertaining to the PARITY® web site may be directed to PARITY® at (212)849-5021. RULES OF ELECTRONIC BIDDING. The “Rules” of PARITY® can be viewed on its website and are incorporated herein by reference. Bidders must comply with the requirements of PARITY® in addition to requirements of this Official Notice of Intent to Sell Bonds if the bidder is using PARITY®. To the extent there is a conflict between the Rules of PARITY® and this Official Notice of Intent to Sell Bonds, this Official Notice of Intent to Sell Bonds shall control. CLOSED AUCTION. Bidders may change and submit bids as many times as they wish during the sale period for the Bonds, but they may not withdraw a submitted bid. The last bid submitted by a bidder prior to the deadline for the receipt of bids will be compared to all other final bids to determine the winning bid. During the sale, no bidder will see any other bidder’s bid, nor will they see the status of their bid relative to other bids (e.g. whether their bid is the leading bid). AMENDMENTS. The School Corporation reserves the right to amend any information contained in this Official Notice of Intent to Sell Bonds. The School Corporation also reserves the right to postpone, from time to time, the date established for the receipt of bids on the Bonds. Any such amendment or postponement will be announced in the same manner as the notice of the sale from the Municipal Advisor as described in “BIDDING DETAILS.” If any date fixed for the sale is postponed, any alternative sale date will be announced at least 24 hours prior to such alternative sale date. BASIS FOR AWARD. The sale of all of the Bonds will be awarded to the bidder for the Bonds making a bid for all of the Bonds and that conforms to the specifications herein and which produces the lowest Net Interest Cost to the School Corporation. The Net Interest Cost is determined by computing the total interest on all of the Bonds from the date of delivery to the date of maturity or mandatory sinking fund redemption, if applicable, and deducting therefrom the premium bid, if any, or adding thereto the amount of any discount. In the event of a bidder’s error in net interest cost rate calculations, the interest rates and premium, if any, set forth or incorporated by reference in the Official Bid Form will be considered as the intended bid. In the event that the School Corporation fails to receive a bid on all of the Bonds from at least three (3) Underwriters (as hereinafter defined), the School Corporation shall so advise the successful bidder for the Bonds (such successful bidder, the “Purchaser”). If the Purchaser is an Underwriter intending to resell all or any portion of the Bonds to the Public (as hereinafter defined), the Purchaser must, prior to acceptance of its bid by the School Corporation, either (i) agree in writing to neither offer nor sell any of the Bonds to any person at a price that is higher than the initial offering price for each maturity of Bonds during the Holding Period (as hereinafter defined) for any maturity of the Bonds or (ii) request in writing that the School Corporation treat the first price at which 10% of a maturity of the Bonds (the 10% test) is sold to the public as the issue price of that maturity, applied on a maturity-by-maturity basis. For purposes of this Notice of Intent to Sell Bonds, (a) the term “Public” shall mean any person (including an individual, trust, estate, partnership, association, company, or corporation) other than an Underwriter or a related party to an Underwriter, (b) the term “related party” means any two or more persons who have greater than 50 percent common ownership, directly or indirectly, (c) the term “Underwriter” means (i) any person that agrees pursuant to a written contract with the School Corporation (or with the lead underwriter to form an underwriting syndicate) to participate in the initial sale of the Bonds to the Public, and (ii) any person that agrees pursuant to a written contract directly or indirectly with a person described in clause (i) of this paragraph to participate in the initial sale of the Bonds to the Public (including a member of a selling group or a party to a retail distribution agreement participating in the initial sale of the Bonds to the Public), (d) the term “Underwriters” means more than one Underwriter, and (e) the term “Holding Period” means the period starting on the date the School Corporation awards the Bonds to the Purchaser (the “Sale Date”) and ending on the earlier of (i) the close of the fifth business day after the Sale Date, or (ii) the date on which the Underwriter has sold at least 10% of each maturity of the Bonds to the Public at prices that are no higher than the initial offering price for such maturity of the Bonds. Any underwriter executing and delivering an Official Bid Form with respect to the Bonds agrees thereby that if its bid is accepted by the School Corporation (i) it shall accept such designation and (ii) it shall enter into a contractual relationship with all participating underwriters of the Bonds for purposes of assuring the receipt of each such participating underwriter of the Final Official Statement. The Purchaser shall be responsible for providing (i) in writing the initial reoffering prices and other terms, if any, to the Municipal Advisor as and at the time requested and (ii) a certification verifying information as to the bona fide initial offering prices of the Bonds to the Public and sales of the Bonds appropriate for determination of the issue price of, and the yield on, the Bonds under Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, as and at the time requested by the School Corporation’s bond counsel. GOOD FAITH DEPOSIT. The Purchaser will be required to provide to the School Corporation a good faith deposit (the “Deposit”) in the form of cash, a certified check or a cashier’s check or a wire transfer in the amount of one percent (1.00%) of the principal amount of all of the Bonds to be issued. The Deposit must be provided to the School Corporation no later than 3:30 p.m. Indianapolis time on the business day immediately following the award of the Bonds. All checks shall be made payable to “South Bend Community School Corporation,” against default by the Purchaser in complying with the terms of this Notice and of its bid. No interest on the Deposit will accrue to the Purchaser. The Deposit will be applied to the purchase price of the Bonds awarded to the Purchaser. In the event the Purchaser fails or refuses to comply with the provisions of the bid and this Notice, the Deposit shall become the property of the School Corporation and shall be taken and considered as liquidated damages of the School Corporation on account of such failure or refusal. The Purchaser will be required to make payment for the Bonds in Federal Reserve or other immediately available funds and accept delivery of the Bonds within five (5) days after being notified that the Bonds are ready for delivery, at a bank designated by the School Corporation. Any premium bid must be paid in cash at the time of delivery as a part of the purchase price of the Bonds. The Bonds will be ready for delivery within sixty (60) days after the date on which the award is made, and if not deliverable within that period, the Purchaser will be entitled to rescind the sale and the Deposit will be returned. Any notice of rescission must be in writing. At the request of the School Corporation, the Purchaser shall furnish to the School Corporation, simultaneously with or before delivery of the Bonds, a certificate in form satisfactory to the School Corporation regarding the price at which a substantial amount of the Bonds of each maturity was reoffered to the public. It is anticipated that CUSIP identification numbers will be printed on the Bonds, but neither the failure to print such numbers on any Bonds nor any error with respect thereto shall constitute cause for a failure or refusal by the Purchaser to accept delivery of and pay for the Bonds in accordance with the terms of its bid. No CUSIP identification number shall be deemed to be a part of any Bond or the contract evidenced thereby and no liability shall hereafter attach to the School Corporation or any of its officers or agents because of or on account of such numbers. All expenses in relation to the printing or typing of CUSIP numbers on the Bonds shall be paid by the School Corporation. The Purchaser will also be responsible for any other fees or expenses it incurs in connection with the resale of the Bonds. AUTHORITY AND PURPOSE. Each series of the Bonds are being issued under the provisions of the Indiana Code to provide funding for the costs of the 2025A General Obligation Bond Project, the 2025B General Obligation Bond Project, and the 2025C General Obligation Bond Project, respectively, as described and defined in the resolutions adopted by the Board of School Trustees of the School Corporation on October 6, 2025, as more fully described in the Preliminary Official Statement, together with the costs incurred in connection with the issuance and sale of the Bonds and all incidental expenses therewith. The principal of and interest on the Bonds are a general obligation of the School Corporation payable from ad valorem property taxes on all taxable property within the School Corporation as described in more detail in the Preliminary Official Statement. BOND DELIVERY. At the time of delivery of the Bonds, the approving opinion of Barnes & Thornburg LLP, South Bend, Indiana, Bond Counsel, as to the validity of the Bonds, together with a transcript of the proceedings for the Bonds, the printed Bonds and closing certificates in the customary form showing no litigation, will be furnished to the Purchaser at the expense of the School Corporation. In addition, unless bond counsel is able, on the date of delivery, to render an opinion to the effect that (1) under existing laws, regulations, judicial decisions and rulings, interest on the Bonds is excludable from gross income under Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, for federal income tax purposes, and (2) the interest on the Bonds is exempt from income taxation in the state of Indiana for all purposes except the state financial institutions tax, the Purchaser shall have the right to rescind the sale, and in such event the Deposit will be returned. PRELIMINARY OFFICIAL STATEMENT. A copy of the Preliminary Official Statement prepared at the direction of the School Corporation may be obtained in limited quantities prior to submission of a bid by request from the Municipal Advisor at the e-mail address set forth above. Said Preliminary Official Statement will be in a form deemed final by the School Corporation, pursuant to Rule 15c2-12 of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Rule”), subject to completion as permitted by the Rule. The Preliminary Official Statement when further supplemented by an addendum or addenda specifying the interest rates of each series of the Bonds, and any other information referred to in paragraph (b)(1) of the Rule, shall constitute a “Final Official Statement” of the School Corporation with respect to each series of the Bonds, as that term is defined in the Rule. By awarding the Bonds to the Purchaser, the School Corporation agrees that, no more than seven (7) business days after the date of such award, it shall provide to the senior managing underwriter of the syndicate to which the Bonds are awarded, if applicable, up to ten (10) copies of the Official Statement at the School Corporation’s expense, any additional copies to be at the expense of the underwriting syndicate. The School Corporation designates the senior managing underwriter of the syndicate to which the Bonds are awarded, if applicable, as its agent for purposes of distributing copies of the Final Official Statement to each participating underwriter. Any underwriter executing and delivering an Official Bid Form with respect to the Bonds agrees thereby that if its bid is accepted by the School Corporation (i) it shall accept such designation and (ii) it shall enter into a contractual relationship with all participating underwriters of the Bonds for purposes of assuring the receipt by each such participating underwriter of the Final Official Statement. The Purchaser shall be responsible for providing (i) in writing the initial reoffering prices and other terms, if any, to the Municipal Advisor as and at the time requested and (ii) a certification verifying information as to the bona fide initial offering prices of the Bonds to the public and sales of the Bonds appropriate for determination of the issue prices of, and the yields on, the Bonds under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, as and at the time requested by the School Corporation’s bond counsel. In order to assist bidders in complying with paragraph (b)(5) of the Rule, the School Corporation will undertake, pursuant to the Continuing Disclosure Contract which shall be delivered to the Purchaser at the closing on the Bonds, to provide annual reports, certain financial information, and notices of certain events as required by Section (b)(5) of the Rule. A description of this undertaking is set forth in the Preliminary Official Statement and will also be set forth in the Final Official Statement. The School Corporation reserves the right to reject any and all bids for any reason and for no reason at all and to waive any and all informalities, defects or requirements set forth in this notice or any bid submitted in response to this notice.   Dated this 17th day of October, 2025.   SOUTH BEND COMMUNITY SCHOOL CORPORATION, ST.
