14 Aega ASA Prospectus 2 RISK FACTORS An investment in the Shares (including the New Shares) involves inherent risk. Before making an investment decision with respect to the Shares, investors should carefully consider all of the information contained in this Prospectus, and in particular the risks and uncertainties described in this Section 2, which the Company believes are the principal known risks and uncertainties faced by the Group as of the date hereof. An investment in the Shares is suitable only for investors who understand the risks associated with this type of investment and who can afford to lose all or part of their investment. The absence of negative past experience associated with a given risk factor does not mean that the risks and uncertainties described are not a genuine potential threat to an investment in the Shares. If any of the following risks were to materialise, this could have a material adverse effect on the Group and/or its business, results of operations, cash flow, financial condition and/or prospects, which may cause a decline in the value and trading price of the Shares, resulting in the loss of all or part of an investment in the same. The order in which the risks are presented does not reflect the likelihood of their occurrence or the magnitude of their potential impact on the Group. The information in this Section 2 is as of the date of this document. 2.1 Risks related to the Group s business and industry The Group is dependent on government subsidies, incentives and supportive regulatory framework The Group depends substantially on government incentives. Without government incentives, or with reduced government incentives, the cost of electricity generated by solar power plants currently would not be competitive with conventional energy sources (e.g., nuclear power, oil, coal and gas) in most current markets, and the availability of profitable investment opportunities to the Group would be significantly lower, which could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Political developments could lead to a material deterioration of the conditions for, or a discontinuation of, the incentives for solar power plants. It is also possible that government financial support for solar power plants will be subject to judicial review and determined to be in violation of applicable constitutional or legal requirements, or be significantly reduced or discontinued for other reasons. A reduction of government support and financial incentives for the installation of solar power plants in any of the markets in which the Group currently operates or intends to operate in the future could result in a material decline in the availability of investment opportunities, which would have a material adverse effect on the business prospects, financial condition and results of operations of the Group. The Group's current investments are located in Italy, hence subject to the same incentive scheme regime; i.e. there is limited or no risk diversification with respect to this specific risk. In this context, it should be noted that in August 2014 the Italian government has passed a law (DL n.116/2014) providing for a reduction of the incentives for solar parks. Said law has been challenged before the Italian Supreme Court for breach of certain principles of the Italian Constitution. The first hearing in front of the Supreme Court to discuss this matter will be held on 6 December 2016 and the Company expects a final decision to be rendered within the end of The Group may not be able to acquire additional solar power plants at commercially attractive terms The Group s growth strategy is dependent on acquiring additional power plants. There can be no assurance that the Group will be able to acquire additional solar power plants at commercially attractive terms. There are a number of market players that consider investment in projects or solar power plants in operation. It is thus a risk that few projects are available for the Group, or that the prices for each project increases due to competition. In addition, many projects may not fulfil the Group s investment criteria. The Group's failure to successfully grow its operations could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows Increasing interest rates could have a significant negative impact on the profitability of investing in solar power plants The Group plans to fund the acquisition of solar power plans with 70-80% debt in normal cases, but up to 100% debt in special cases. The target leverage ratio is approximately 75% on a portfolio level. Increasing interest rates could significantly reduce the profitability of investing in solar power plants, which could have a material adverse effect on the Group s business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations Increasing inflation could have a significant negative impact on the profitability of investing in solar power plants As the major part of the income generated by solar power plants is fixed in nominal terms and operational expenses are subject to inflation there is a risk that increasing inflation will have a material adverse effect on the profitability of the Group. 14

15 Aega ASA Prospectus Weather variations could have a material adverse effect on the Group Even in a stable climate, the weather varies from year to year, and hence the production of energy from the solar power plants. This will influence the periodic revenues, and hence the results of operation and cash-flows of the Group. Over time the irradiation and production will likely approach the expected average, but still with the risk of less production than anticipated. However, due to climate changes it is also possible that the expected annual irradiation changes over long periods of time. It is possible that this may materially adversely influence the expected performance of a plant during its technical lifetime Falling power prices may materially reduce the Group s income and profitability The market price for electricity changes according to market conditions. In Italy, the total revenue from power sales is composed of a fixed Feed-in Tariff plus the market price for electricity. The market price component currently represents approximately 20% of revenues for the Group s current portfolio, and in certain projects even more of the power sale revenues. If local power market prices fall, the Group s revenues, results of operation and cash flow may be materially adversely affected. Power prices may be affected by a number of factors, including the level of installed photovoltaic ("PV") capacity and changes in the prices of hydrocarbons (e.g. oil, gas and carbon) Increasing operating expenses could have a negative effect on the Group s profit and cash-flow The Group plans to operate and maintain the power plants according to best practice and continuous improvements in a cost efficient manner. However, increased costs related to the amount of consumables or the manpower cost may change over time. Replacement of main or auxiliary systems may come at more frequent intervals than planned. Financing, insurance and regulatory requirements may also lead to increased operating cost. This may have a material adverse effect on the Group s operating results and cash-flows The Group may suffer losses due to insufficient quality of equipment and technical breakdowns Revenues may be reduced due to insufficient quality of installed solar modules and other equipment resulting in faster than estimated degradation, and consequently lower revenues and higher maintenance costs, particularly if the product guarantees have expired or the supplier is unable or unwilling to respect its obligations. Even well-maintained high-quality solar power plants may from time to time experience technical break downs. These failures may have many different causes. Depending on the component that fails and the design of the plant, parts of or the entire capacity can be out of production for some time. There is a risk that the appropriate spare parts are not available for various reasons, causing a prolonged production stop. The grid operator may, from time to time, disconnect the solar power plant in periods of high grid loads. The power plants are typically designed to automatically reconnect, but experience shows that this is not always the case. There is also a risk of discrepancies between power meter readings and actual power production due to system or human failure. In such cases, it is upon the operator to justify claims for the correct revenue collection. If any of these events occur the Group s business could be materially adversely harmed and the value of the Shares would likely decline The Group may suffer production losses due to natural phenomena Severe weather phenomena such as strong wind, hail storms, snow and lightening or other weather phenomena may disrupt the functionality of components or even cause damage. Other phenomena that may occur are rodent damage and fires. The risk of floods, landslides, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, and other geo hazards must be taken into account when evaluating the risk of solar power plant operations. Weather and other natural phenomena may increase operating costs as well as reduce revenues, which could materially adversely affect the Group s business, financial condition or results of operations The Group may suffer losses due to bureaucratic or executive errors and inefficiencies The operation of the power plants includes from time to time exchange of information with relevant authorities and counterparties. Such exchange and verification of documents may take time. This may influence the Group s ability to execute its business without delays. It may further happen that administrative procedures in the management of the Group are subject to inefficiencies or errors which may generate costs or losses, due to improper planning or execution of work flows. If any of these risks materialise, this may have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. 15

16 Aega ASA Prospectus The Group may suffer losses due to theft and vandalism Theft of photovoltaic modules and other equipment parts have occurred in Italy and elsewhere. Thefts and vandalism may cause loss or damage of the Group s equipment and could result in disruption of production at the Group s power plants and thereby have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows The Group may be negatively affected by corruption and unethical practices Infrastructure projects are generally developed in close interaction with local and regional authorities. This poses a risk of corruption or other non-compliant processes with the effect that competitors have a noncompliant, but easier access to projects. It may also be a risk that projects acquired by the Group have been developed in non-transparent or noncompliant manners prior to the acquisition. Up until the award of a license, the risk of non-compliant behaviour of a stakeholder is higher than when in production. This is a risk that is carried forward and which ultimately may under particular circumstances result in the revocation of one or several of the relevant licenses. If any of these risks materialise, this may have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Further, the Group's reputation may be materially adversely harmed The Group s insurance policies may not cover all losses which the Group may suffer The Group's power plants will customarily have insurance against damage and revenue loss due to incidents such as technical breakdown, natural phenomena and criminal actions as described above. Liability insurance is also available and applicable to all power plant operations. However, the insurance policy may not cover all foreseeable and unforeseeable events, and the Group may be exposed to losses and cost of repairs that exceed normal O&M budgets and are outside the insurance agreements. Further, under special circumstances, it could be that the amount of damages received from the insurance company is reduced due to curtailments or other reasons due to, e.g. the magnitude of the total damages to be covered. The policies and policy prices may vary over time depending on the insurance products in the market and estimated risk for the relevant operation. Any increase in insurance premiums could have an adverse effect on the Group s results of operation and cash-flows. It might further happen that the insurance company cancels the policy. If any of these risks materialise, this may have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows The Group is dependent on key members of the management team in Aega Solar AS The Group s success depends, to a significant extent, on the continued services of the individual members of Aega Solar AS ( Aega Solar ), who have substantial experience in the industry. The Group s ability to continue to identify and develop opportunities depends on management s knowledge of, and expertise in the industry, and on their external business relationships. There can be no assurance that any management team member will remain with Aega Solar. The management of the Group is performed by Aega Solar under relevant agreements. If Aega Solar for any reason became unable or unwilling to perform management services for the Group, this could have material negative impact on the Group The Group may be subject to changes in laws and regulations in respect of its operations The Group is subject to an extensive range of laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, rules and regulations related to land utilization, development and zoning plans, property tax and HSE (health, safety and environmental), power market and grid operation rules and regulations. If the Group fails to comply with any such laws and regulations, permits or conditions, or to obtain any necessary permits or registrations, or to extend current permits or registrations upon expiry of their terms, or to comply with any restrictive terms its current permits or registrations, then the Group may be subject to, among other things, civil and criminal penalties and, in certain circumstances, the temporary or permanent curtailment or shutdown of a part of its operations. Furthermore, changes in the legislative and regulatory framework governing the activities of the Group may have a material adverse impact on the Group s business activities, cost and profitability. 16

17 Aega ASA Prospectus Changes in, or interpretation of, tax laws create uncertainty with regard to taxation of the Group Changes in taxation law or the interpretation of taxation law may impact the business, results of operations and financial condition of the Group. To the extent tax rules change, this could have both a prospective and retrospective impact on the Group, both of which could have a material adverse effect on the Group's operations and financial condition The Group may be negatively affected by late payments of invoices There is a risk that payments of invoices for revenues are delayed due to bureaucratic procedures. This is particularly the case in the initial period of operation, since registering changes of directors and management of a plant owning company after an acquisition takes time. The relevant authorities cannot execute their obligations towards the power plant before the formalities are notarised and registered in official records, and after this it may still take several weeks before the changes are acknowledged with business partners and authorities. The risk of this occurring is significantly reduced about 3-9 months after completed transaction activities, but delayed receivables may nonetheless have a material adverse effect on the Group s liquidity and cash-flows The Group may be negatively affected by disputes The Group will from time to time be involved in disputes in the ordinary course of its business activities. Such disputes may disrupt business operations and materially adversely affect the results of operations and the Group s financial condition Exchange ratio risk The Company is located in Norway, but has the main share of its operations through Italian subsidiaries. All revenues are denominated in EUR, while costs occur in both EUR and NOK. The Company will therefore be exposed to currency risk, primarily to fluctuations in EUR and NOK. Such fluctuations could materially adversely affect the Company s business, financial condition or results of operations. Further, to the extent the Company invests in foreign securities, such investments will entail an exchange ratio risk for the Company Loan financing Loan financing will generally increase the risk for investors compared to similar investments made without loan financing. The impact of changes in value of assets will have increased effect for the change of value of the equity when all or parts of the assets are financed by loans In order to execute the Group s investment strategy, the Group may require additional capital in the future, which may not be available To the extent the Group does not generate sufficient cash from operations, the Group may need to raise additional funds through debt or additional equity financings to execute the Group s growth strategy and to fund capital expenditures. Adequate sources of capital funding may not be available when needed or may not be available on favourable terms. The Group s ability to obtain such additional capital or financing will depend in part upon prevailing market conditions as well as conditions of its business and its operating results, and those factors may affect its efforts to arrange additional financing on satisfactory terms. If the Group raises additional funds by issuing additional shares or other equity or equity-linked securities, it may result in a dilution of the holdings of existing shareholders. If funding is insufficient at any time in the future, the Group may be unable to fund acquisitions, take advantage of business opportunities or respond to competitive pressures, any of which could adversely impact the Group's results of operations, cash flow and financial condition Future debt levels could limit the Group's flexibility to obtain additional financing and pursue acquisition opportunities The Group may incur additional indebtedness in the future. The level of debt could have important consequences to the Group, including the following: the Group s ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or other purposes may be impaired or such financing may be unavailable on favourable terms; the Group s costs of borrowing could increase as it becomes more leveraged; the Group may need to use a substantial portion of its cash from operations to make principal and interest payments on its debt, reducing the funds that would otherwise be available for operations, future business opportunities and dividends to its shareholders; and 17

18 Aega ASA Prospectus the Group s debt level may limit its flexibility in responding to changing business and economic conditions. The Group s ability to service its future debt will depend upon, among other things, its future financial and operating performance, which will be affected by prevailing economic conditions as well as financial, business, regulatory and other factors, some of which are beyond its control. If the Group s operating income is not sufficient to service its current or future indebtedness, the Group will be forced to take action such as reducing or delaying its business activities, acquisitions, investments or capital expenditures, selling assets, restructuring or refinancing its debt or seeking additional equity capital. The Group may not be able to effect any of these remedies on satisfactory terms, or at all Interest rate fluctuations could in the future affect the Group s cash flow and financial condition in addition to the price of the Shares The Group is exposed to interest rate risk primarily in relation to any future interest bearing debt issued at floating interest rates and to variations in interest rates of bank deposits. Consequently, movements in interest rates could in such event have material adverse effects on the Group s cash flow and financial condition. 2.2 Risks relating to the Shares There may not be a liquid market for the Shares Active, liquid trading markets generally result in lower price volatility and more efficient execution of buy and sell orders for investors. If there proves to be no active trading market for the Shares, the price of the Shares may be more volatile and it may be more difficult to complete a buy or sell order for Shares. Even if there is an active public trading market, there may be little or no market demand for the Shares, making it difficult or impossible to resell the Shares, which would have an adverse effect on the resale price, if any, of the Shares. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the Company will maintain its listing on Oslo Axess. A delisting from Oslo Axess would make it more difficult for shareholders to sell their Shares and could have a negative impact on the market value of the Shares The trading price of the Shares may be volatile The trading price of the Shares could fluctuate significantly, inter alia, in response to quarterly variations in operating results, general economic outlook, adverse business developments, interest rate changes, changes in financial estimates by securities analysts, matters announced in respect of competitors or changes to the regulatory environment in which the Group operates. Market conditions may affect the Shares regardless of the Group s operating performance or the overall performance in the industry. Accordingly, the market price of the Shares may not reflect the underlying value of the Group s net assets, and the price at which investors may dispose of their Shares at any point in time may be influenced by a number of factors, only some of which may pertain to the Group, while others of which may be outside the Group s control. The market price of the Shares could decline due to sales of a large number of Shares in the Company in the market or the perception that such sales could occur. Such sales could also make it more difficult for the Company to offer equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that are deemed appropriate Shareholders may be diluted if they are unable to participate in future offerings The development of the Group s business may, inter alia, depend upon the Group s ability to obtain equity financing. Unless otherwise resolved by the general meeting of the Company's shareholders (the "General Meeting") or the Board by proxy, shareholders in Norwegian public companies such as the Company have pre-emptive rights proportionate to the aggregate amount of the shares they hold with respect to new shares issued by the company. Shareholders that do not exercise granted pre-emptive rights may be diluted. Furthermore, shareholders may be unable to participate in future offerings, due to deviation from the shareholders' pre-emptive rights in order to raise equity on short notice in the investor market, or for reasons relating to foreign securities laws or other factors, and as such have their shareholdings diluted Pre-emptive rights may not be available to U.S. holders and certain other foreign holders of the Shares Under Norwegian law, prior to the Company s issuance of any new shares for consideration in cash, the Company must offer holders of the Company s then-outstanding Shares pre-emptive rights to subscribe and pay for a sufficient number of Shares to maintain their existing ownership percentages, unless these rights are waived at a General Meeting. These pre-emptive rights are generally transferable during the subscription period for the related offering and may be listed on Oslo Axess. U.S. holders of the Shares may not be able to receive, trade or exercise pre-emptive rights for new Shares unless a registration statement under the U.S. Securities Act is effective with respect to such rights or an exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act is available. The Company is not a registrant under the U.S. securities laws. If U.S. holders of the Shares are not able to receive, trade or exercise pre- 18

19 Aega ASA Prospectus emptive rights granted in respect of their Shares in any rights offering by the Company, then they may not receive the economic benefit of such rights. In addition, their proportional ownership interests in the Company will be diluted. Similar restrictions may apply to other foreign holders of Shares, including, but not limited to shareholders in Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Japan and Switzerland Holders of Shares that are registered in a nominee account may not be able to exercise voting rights as readily as shareholders whose Shares are registered in their own names with the Norwegian Central Securities Depository Beneficial owners of the Shares that are registered in a nominee account (e.g., through brokers, dealers or other third parties) ( NOM-account ) may not be able to vote for such Shares unless their ownership is re-registered in their names with the VPS prior to the Company s General Meetings. The Company cannot guarantee that beneficial owners of the Shares will receive the notice for a General Meeting in time to instruct their nominees to either effect a reregistration of their Shares or otherwise vote for their Shares in the manner desired by such beneficial owners The transfer of Shares is subject to restrictions under the securities laws of the United States and other jurisdictions The Company has not registered the Shares under the U.S. Securities Act or the securities laws of jurisdictions other than Norway and the Company does not expect to do so in the future. The Shares may not be offered or sold in the United States, nor may they be offered or sold in any other jurisdiction in which the registration of the Shares is required but has not taken place, unless an exemption from the applicable registration requirement is available, or the offer or sale of the Shares occurs in connection with a transaction that is not subject to these provisions. In addition, there can be no assurances that shareholders residing or domiciled in the United States will be able to participate in future capital increases or exercise subscription rights The Company s ability to pay dividends is dependent on the availability of distributable reserves Norwegian law provides that any declaration of dividends must be adopted by the shareholders at the Company s General Meeting. Dividends may only be declared to the extent that the Company has distributable funds and the Company s board of directors (the "Board of Directors" or the "Board") finds such a declaration to be prudent in consideration of the size, nature, scope and risks associated with the Company s operations and the need to strengthen its liquidity and financial position. As the Company s ability to pay dividends is dependent on the availability of distributable reserves, it is, among other things, dependent upon receipt of dividends and other distributions of value from its subsidiaries. As a general rule, the General Meeting may not declare higher dividends than the Board of Directors has proposed or approved. If, for any reason, the General Meeting does not declare dividends in accordance with the above, a shareholder will, as a general rule, have no claim in respect of such non-payment, and the Company will, as a general rule, have no obligation to pay any dividend in respect of the relevant period Investors may be unable to recover losses in civil proceedings in jurisdictions other than Norway The Company is a Norwegian public limited liability company organised under the laws of Norway. All of the members of the Company s Board of Directors and of the Company s corporate management reside in Norway. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process in other jurisdictions upon such persons or the Company, to enforce against such persons or the Company judgments obtained in non-norwegian courts, or to enforce judgments on such persons or the Company in other jurisdictions Norwegian law may limit shareholders ability to bring an action against the Company The rights of holders of the Shares are governed by Norwegian law and by the Articles of Association. These rights may differ from the rights of shareholders in other jurisdictions. In particular, Norwegian law limits the circumstances under which shareholders of Norwegian companies may bring derivative actions. For instance, under Norwegian law, any action brought by the Company in respect of wrongful acts committed against the Company will be prioritised over actions brought by shareholders claiming compensation in respect of such acts. In addition, it may be difficult to prevail in a claim against the Company under, or to enforce liabilities predicated upon, securities laws in other jurisdictions Market interest rates may influence the price of the Shares One of the factors that may influence the price of the Shares is its annual dividend yield as compared to yields on other financial instruments. Thus, an increase in market interest rates will result in higher yields on other financial instruments, which could materially adversely affect the price of the Shares. 19

The Manager assumes no responsibility for the accuracy or completeness or the verification of this Prospectus and accordingly disclaims, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all liability whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise which it might otherwise be found to have in respect of this Prospectus or any such statement. Neither the Company nor the Manager, or any of their respective affiliates, representatives, advisers or selling agents, is making any representation to any offeree or purchaser of the Shares (including the New Shares) regarding the legality of an investment in the Shares. Each investor should consult with his or her own advisors as to the legal, tax, business, financial and related aspects of a purchase of the New Shares. Investing in the Shares involves a high degree of risk. See Section 2 Risk Factors beginning on page Presentation of financial and other information Financial information This Prospectus includes the audited annual financial statements for the Group as of and for the years ended 31 December 2014 and 2015 (the "Financial Statements"). Such Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union ( IFRS ). The unaudited interim consolidated financial information for the Group as of and for the three month periods ended 31 March 2015 and 2016 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the European Union ( IAS 34 ) (the Interim Financial Statement ), and is also included in this Prospectus. The Financial Statements and the Interim Financial Statements are together referred to as the Financial Information. The Financial Information is incorporated by reference hereto, see Section 17.3 "Incorporation by reference". On 21 January 2016, the Company acquired all the shares in Aega Yieldco AS ("Yieldco"), against a consideration of approximately NOK 75.5 million (the "Acquisition"). The consideration was settled by the issuance of 25,151,275 shares in the Company to the shareholders of Yieldco. As a result of the Acquisition, the Company has, in addition to the Financial Information, included unaudited condensed pro forma financial information (the Pro Forma Financial Information ) in this Prospectus to show how the Acquisition could have affected the Group s statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the year ended 31 December 2015 as if the Acquisition occurred on 1 January As a result of the change of the business of the Company following the Acquisition, the Company decided to change the reporting currency from NOK to EUR with effect from 1 January The main revenues of the Company currently come from Italy and are denominated in EUR. Thus, the Financial Statements included in this Prospectus are presented in NOK, while the Interim Financial Statements are presented in EUR. The selected financial information as of and for the three months period ended 31 March 2015 is derived from the unaudited report for the three months period ending 31 March 2016 as this report contains comparative financial information in EUR, while the financial information in the unaudited report for the three months period ending 31 March 2015 is published in NOK. Yieldco s audited financial statements as of and for the year ended 31 December 2015 and Yieldco's subsidiaries' financial statements as of and for the year ended 31 December 2015 (the Yieldco Financial Statements ) are included in Appendix B. The audited financial statements of Yieldco, Aega Energy Prima AS, Aega Energy Seconda AS and Aega Energy Terza AS have been prepared in accordance with Norwegian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ( NGAAP ) and are presented in NOK and have been converted to EUR for inclusion in Section 10 using the rates EUR/NOK being the central bank of Norway's (Norges Bank) average rate for the relevant period. The unaudited financial statements of Photo-Volt One S.r.l., DT S.r.l., Collesanto S.r.l. and JER-12 S.r.l. are prepared according to Italian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ( IGAAP ) and are presented in EUR. 21

22 Aega ASA Prospectus The Pro Forma Financial Information does not purport to represent what the Company s actual statement of profit and loss would have been had the events which were the reason of the adjustments occurred on the relevant dates. The Pro Forma Financial Information does not include all of the information required for financial statements under IFRS and should be read in conjunction with the Financial Information. See Section 10 Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information for further information about the basis of preparation of the Pro Forma Financial Information Industry and market data This Prospectus contains statistics, data, statements and other information relating to markets, market sizes, market shares, market positions and other industry data pertaining to the Company s future business and the industries and markets in which it may operate in the future. Unless otherwise indicated, such information reflects the Company s estimates based on analysis of multiple sources, including data compiled by professional organisations, consultants and analysts and information otherwise obtained from other third party sources, such as annual financial statements and other presentations published by listed companies operating within the same industry as the Company may do in the future. Unless otherwise indicated in the Prospectus, the basis for any statements regarding the Company s competitive position in the future is based on the Company s own assessment and knowledge of the potential market in which it may operate. The Company confirms that where information has been sourced from a third party, such information has been accurately reproduced and that as far as the Company is aware and is able to ascertain from information published by that third party, no facts have been omitted that would render the reproduced information inaccurate or misleading. Where information sourced from third parties has been presented, the source of such information has been identified. The Company does not intend, and does not assume any obligations to update industry or market data set forth in this Prospectus.

Forward-looking statements as a general matter are all statements other than statements as to historic facts or present facts or circumstances. They appear in a number of places throughout this Prospectus, including, without limitation in Section 5 Dividend Policy, Section 6 Industry and Market Overview, Section 7 Business of the Group, and Section 9 Selected Financial and other Information, and include, among other things, statements relating to: the Group s strategy, outlook and growth prospects and the ability of the Group to implement its strategic initiatives; the Group s future results of operations; the Group s financial condition; the Group s working capital, cash flows and capital investments; the Group s dividend policy; the impact of regulation on the Group; general economic trends and trends in the Group s industries and markets; and the competitive environment in which the Group operates. Prospective investors in the Shares are cautioned that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that the Group s actual financial position, operating results and liquidity, and the development of the industries and markets in which the Group operates, may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this Prospectus. The Group can provide no assurances that the intentions, beliefs or current expectations upon which its forward-looking statements are based will occur. Although the Group believes that the expectations implied by these forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Group can give no assurances that the outcomes contemplated will materialise or prove to be correct. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions as they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. Because of these known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions, outcomes may differ materially from those set out in any forwardlooking statement. Important factors that could cause those differences include, but are not limited to: disruptions to production; implementation of the Group's strategy and its ability to further expand its business and growth; technological changes and new products and services introduced into the Group s market and industry; ability to acquire new solar power plants and maintain existing plants; the competitive nature of the business the Group operates in and the competitive pressure and changes to the competitive environment in general; loss of customers; earnings, cash flow, dividends and other expected financial results and conditions; fluctuations of exchange and interest rates; changes in general economic and industry conditions; political and governmental and social changes; changes in the legal and regulatory environment; environmental liabilities; changes in consumer trends; access to funding; and legal proceedings.

25 Aega ASA Prospectus 5 DIVIDEND POLICY 5.1 Dividend policy In deciding whether to propose a dividend and in determining the dividend amount, the Board of Directors will take into account legal restrictions, as set out in the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act of 13 June 1997 No 45 (the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act ) (see Section 5.3 Legal constraints on the distribution of dividends ). Under the current dividend policy adopted by the Board of Directors, the Company intends to pay quarterly dividends, and distribute excess cash generated, adjusted for working capital need, to shareholders. The Company aims at quarterly payments of 2.5% of the value per Share in the Acquisition (NOK 3.00), subject to the limitation described above. There can be no assurances that in any given year a dividend will be proposed or declared, or if proposed or declared, that the dividend will be in the range contemplated by the policy. Further, the Company's dividend policy may change in the future. Holders of the New Shares will be entitled to dividends declared after registration of the share capital increase pertaining to the New Shares in the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises. 5.2 Distributed dividends The Company has since its incorporation distributed the dividends set out in the table below. Dividend amount per Share (NOK) Number of Shares Total dividend Dividend per current share 1 Annual dividend ,209,020 5,522, Annual dividend ,209,020 5,522, Dividend 20 March ,209,020 70,688, Dividend 17 June ,209,020 6,627, Dividend 22 September ,209,020 15,463, Dividend 29 February ,360, , Dividend 31 May ,360,295 2,052, Total dividend divided by current number of shares (35,360,957 shares). 5.3 Legal constraints on the distribution of dividends Dividends may be paid in cash, or in some instances, in kind. The Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act provides the following constraints on the distribution of dividends applicable to the Company: Section 8-1 of the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act provides that the Company may distribute dividends to the extent that the Company s net assets, following the distribution covers (i) the share capital, (ii) the reserve for valuation variances and (iii) the reserve for unrealised gains. The amount of any receivable held by the Company which is secured by a pledge over Shares in the Company, as well as the aggregate amount of credit and security which, pursuant to Section 8 7 to 8-10 of the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act fall within the limits of distributable equity, shall be deducted from the distributable amount. The calculation of the distributable equity shall be made on the basis of the balance sheet included in the approved annual accounts for the last financial year, provided, however, that the registered share capital as of the date of the resolution to distribute dividends shall be applied. Following the approval of the annual accounts for the last financial year, the General Meeting may also authorise the Board of Directors to declare dividends on the basis of the Company s audited annual accounts. Dividends may also be resolved by the General Meeting based on an interim balance sheet which has been prepared and audited in accordance with the provisions applying to the annual accounts and with a balance sheet date not further into the past than six months before the date of the General Meeting s resolution. Dividends can only be distributed to the extent that the Company s equity and liquidity following the distribution is considered sound by the Board of Directors, acting prudently. In deciding whether to propose a dividend and in determining the dividend amount, the Board of Directors will take into account legal restrictions, as set out in the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act, the Company s capital requirements, including capital expenditure requirements, its financial condition, general business conditions and any restrictions that its contractual arrangements in place at the time of the dividend may place on its ability to 25

26 Aega ASA Prospectus pay dividends and the maintaining of appropriate financial flexibility. Except in certain specific and limited circumstances set out in the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act, the amount of dividends paid may not exceed the amount recommended by the Board of Directors. The Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act does not provide for any time limit after which entitlement to dividends lapses. Subject to various exceptions, Norwegian law provides a limitation period of three years from the date on which an obligation is due. There are no dividend restrictions or specific procedures for non-norwegian resident shareholders to claim dividends. For a description of withholding tax on dividends applicable to non- Norwegian residents, see Section 15 Taxation. 5.4 Manner of dividend payments Any future payments of dividends on the Shares will be denominated in the currency of the bank account of the relevant shareholder, and will be paid to the shareholders through the VPS. Shareholders registered in the VPS who have not supplied the VPS with details of their bank account, will not receive payment of dividends unless they register their bank account details with the VPS registrar. The exchange rate(s) that is applied when denominating any future payments of dividends to the relevant shareholder's currency will be the VPS registrar's exchange rate on the payment date. Dividends will be credited automatically to the VPS registered shareholders accounts, or in lieu of such registered account, at the time when the shareholder has provided the VPS registrar with their bank account details, without the need for shareholders to present documentation proving their ownership of the Shares. Shareholders' right to payment of dividend will lapse three years following the resolved payment date for those shareholders who have not registered their bank account details with the VPS registrar within such date. Following the expiry of such date, the remaining, not distributed dividend, will be returned from the VPS registrar to the Company. 26

This chapter provides an overview of the market for secondary solar power plants in Italy. 6.2 General Italy has been one of Europe s top performers for solar park installations until 2012, when construction activity was dramatically reduced due to a reform of the country s generous support policies for renewable energy in an attempt to control costs Historical development of installed solar power capacity in Italy The total installed solar power capacity in Italy reached 18.9 GWp in As highlighted in the graph below, construction of new projects boomed in the years leading up to 2012 when the generous support policies was reformed. Construction of new projects has dropped significantly following the reform Total PV installed capacity in Italy (GW) Source: Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF) and PHOTON International Revenue components The operating revenue for a solar power plant is a function of produced volume (kwh of electricity) and the achieved selling price per kwh. The selling price for the Company s solar parks can be divided into two components (i) the Feedin Tariff ( FiT ), and (ii) the market price of electricity Feed-in Tariff (FiT) The Feed-in Tariff is a fixed nominal fee that is paid to the operator of a solar power plant for each kwh of produced electricity over the 20 year contract period. Payment of FiT is managed by Gestore dei Servizi Energetici ( GSE ), 27

28 Aega ASA Prospectus which is a governmental agency with the purpose of promoting and supporting renewable energy sources in Italy. The fixed Feed-in Tariff received from GSE typically represents approximately 80-90% of the solar power plant revenues. Since 6 July 2013, FiTs are no longer available to newly permitted PV projects Market price The actual wholesale price of electricity is paid to the operator of a solar power plant for each kwh of produced electricity the system feeds into the electrical grid (an interconnected network for delivering electricity from suppliers to consumers). The system operator can decide whether to sell the electricity on the spot market or agree on a fixed contract. The wholesale power price in Italy has been fairly volatile since 2004, and the price increased from just above 50 EUR/MWh in 2004 to the peak level of EUR/MWh in In recent years, the price has dropped to between EUR/MWh. The construction of PV plants and wind between 2008 and 2012 and the decrease in electricity consumption are seen as the main forces behind the price decrease by the Italian regulatory Authority for Electricity, Gas and Water YTD Average National Single Price Italy (EUR/MWh) Source: as of 11 July According to the Italian regulatory Authority for Electricity, Gas and Water, consumption of electricity has fallen from about 340 TWh in 2008 to 310 TWh in In 2015 the electricity consumption increased 1.5% and ended at about 315 TWh. The Italian domestic production in 2015 was 270 TWh which represents a small increase from 269 TWh in From the top domestic production in 2009, the production has decreased about 10%. The gap between consumed and produced electricity is imported. In 2015 PV plants produced 7.8% of the electricity consumed The 2014 retroactive policy change In 2014, the Italian government approved law n. 116/2014. Said law changed, with retroactive effect, the incentives regime, by reducing the compensation paid to owners of solar power plants built under Conto Energia II, III, IV and V and larger than 200kW, starting from January The owners of PV plants were asked to choose one out of four options: 1. Accept a flat 6-8% reduction in FiT payments over the entire FiT period, depending on the plant size; 28

29 Aega ASA Prospectus 2. Accept a larger reduction, of 17-25%, but get an extension of the FiT to 24 years, instead of the standard 20; 3. Maintain the 20 years FiD payment period but accept reduced payments in the first half period, to be compensated the second half; or 4. Liquidate the remaining cash flows at a discount rate. Option number 1 above has been chosen for all of the Groups solar power plants (as further described in Section below), except from one, Piano Molino, where option 3 above was chosen. For option 1, the yearly FiT reduction corresponding to system size is set out in the table below: Project size Yearly FiT % reduction kw 6% kw 7% >900 kw 8% Owners who chose option 2 accepted a cut in the remaining FiT period depending on the age of the project, and the corresponding reductions are set out in the table below: Remaining Incentive Period FiT % reduction 12 years 25% 13 years 24% 14 years 22% 15 years 21% 16 years 20% 17 years 19% 18 years 18% 19 years or more 17% The Italian government s changes to the renewable incentives triggered distress amongst some owners of solar power plants, especially smaller operators, and Lazio s administrative court questioned the legality of the retroactive PV reductions in June 2015, by referring the legitimacy of the law to the Italian Supreme Court. The first hearing before the Supreme Court to discuss this matter will be held on 6 December 2016 and the Company expects a final decision to be rendered within the end of Market information specific for the Company s investments Aega will focus on a niche of the Italian secondary solar market consisting of parks having a size between 1 MW up to 5 MW (the Small Parks ). In Italy the Small Parks currently represent approximately 8 GW out of the 18 GW of installed solar power capacity. Owners of Small Parks are usually less professional investors than those investing in the segment of larger parks (>5 MW). The investors in Small Parks are typically local investors and land owners since the transaction size is often too small for larger investment funds and international investors. Each investment opportunity is tested against the Company s strict investment criteria set out in clause below. Aega Solar has estimated that roughly 2,000 MW meet the Company s strict investment criteria. 6.4 Competition Since 2008 international financial investors have invested in the solar market. Some of the investors own large portfolios in markets such as in Italy, Germany and France. In the Nordic region there are a few players that offer power plant investments to the retail and the institutional market. For instance, Scatec Solar ASA is relatively well known in the Nordic region, but has a different business model than the Company as it also entails project development and invests mainly outside Europe. 29

30 Aega ASA Prospectus In the Italian solar space, the number of transactions has increased in 2015 and the first quarter of 2016, especially for parks larger than 5 MW. The largest players are either infrastructure funds such as F2i SGR and Quercus Assets Selection, or pension/insurance funds such as German Gothaer Insurance Group and Swiss Life Asset Managers. In the segment for parks below 5 MW the Competitors of the Company are typically family investment companies that invest in a large variety of industries. The Company believes that the solar energy market will attract even more financial investors in the next years. 30

31 Aega ASA Prospectus 7 BUSINESS OF THE GROUP 7.1 Introduction The Company business consists in investing in the Italian secondary solar market and operating the acquired solar power plants. The acquisition process and the operations of the PV plants are carried out by the Company s manager, Aega Solar. 7.2 The Acquisition This section provides an overview of the Company s acquisition of 100% of the shares in Yieldco and the change in strategic direction of the Company relating thereto. On 21 January 2016 Aega completed the Acquisition and purchased of 100% of the issued shares in Yieldco, against a consideration of approximately NOK 75.5 million. The consideration was settled by the issuance of 25,151,275 shares in Aega, valued at NOK 3.00 per share, to the shareholders of Yieldco on 21 January Prior to the Acquisition, the Company was an investment company, which was created to exploit the market situation to make opportunistic financial investments in banks and financial institutions in the Nordic region. The Company is a Norwegian public limited company. It was incorporated as a private limited company through a demerger from Nordisk Finans Invest AS on 28 September 2011 and was subsequently converted into a public limited company on 29 September The Company was listed on Oslo Axess under the name Nordic Financials ASA on 7 November 2011, with the ticker code NOFIN. The Company had an agreement on active management of its investments with Warren Capital AS until the first quarter of 2014, when the agreement was terminated. The agreement meant that the asset manager took the ongoing investment decisions on behalf of the Company. The agreement laid the framework for portfolio diversification and risk exposure, and the manager invested within these limits based on its view of the market. As a result of the termination of the agreement with Warren Capital AS, the Board of Directors took over the management of the Company s investments. Portfolio investments were realized in 2014 and excess liquidity was used to repay loans and distribute dividends to shareholders. Except for a small investment in shares in Wilson ASA, and a small investment in bonds issued by Polarcus Ltd., the Company has now realised all of its investment portfolio. The Board of Directors also initiated discussions with certain of the Company's major shareholders relating to the future strategy of the Company. In the fall of 2015, Aega Solar acquired a large shareholding in the Company. The shareholders of the Company appointed a new Board of Directors at an Extraordinary General Meeting held on 18 December 2015, and the Company subsequently decided to conduct a shift of the Company's focus from traditional equity investments to direct investments in secondary solar parks in Italy through an investment in Yieldco. Yieldco is a Norwegian private limited liability company organized under the laws of Norway, including the Norwegian Private Limited Liability Companies Act, and with organisation number Yieldco's registered office is Oscars gate 52, 0258 Oslo, Norway, but it has its operating offices in both Oslo, Norway and Trento, Italy. Yieldco is a solar utility company that acquires and operates solar power plants. Yieldco is structured as a holding company of unique special purpose vehicles (SPVs) being the beneficial owners of the solar power plants. Yieldco has no employees and the management of Yieldco's investments is performed by Aega Solar in accordance with the Management Agreement described in Section ("Management agreement"). The Acquisition represented a change in strategic direction for the Company to investments in secondary solar parks in Italy. As a consequence of the strategic shift, the Company was on 18 January 2016 renamed Aega ASA. The shares issued as consideration in connection with the Acquisition were listed and admitted to trading on Oslo Axess on 1 March The acquisition of Piano Molino S.r.l General On 24 June 2016, the Company acquired from the Italian solar industry player Solis SpA, the entire share capital of Piano Molino S.r.l, an Italian limited liability company owing a 1 MW solar plant located in Casoli, Abruzzo. The 31

32 Aega ASA Prospectus purchase price was EUR 1,200,000 and the parties agreed that the solar plant shall be returned to the seller, Solis SpA, after the expiry of the FiT. Piano Molino S.r.l. owns a 1 MW solar park located in Casoli. The plant is a fixed ground mounted system, is six years into its 20-year concession period, and delivers an internal rate of return (IRR) in line with the Group's current assets and overall investment target (estimated to 15.5% before management fees and optimizations). Mr. Lars Dysterud Hansen from Aega Solar is the appointed sole director of Piano Molino S.r.l. The management of the solar park will be performed by Aega Solar in accordance with the Management Agreement. Piano Molino S.r.l has no employees. As a result of the transaction, the Group increased its total installed capacity from 5 MW to 6 MW. The growth target of the Group is to reach 50 MW installed capacity by the end of 2017, and any acquisition is an important step in that direction Purchase price allocation The Company's purchase price allocation for Piano Molino S.r.l. is set out in the table below. In EUR (unaudited figures) Fair value recognized on acquisition Current assets & liabilities -27,845 Cash, bank & securities 0 Receivables 132,752 Inventories, advances to suppliers etc. 2,768 Accounts payable and accrued liabilities -83,760 Tax withholdings, public fees, payroll tax, etc. -79,605 Other current liabilities 0 Long term positions 1,227,845 Deferred tax -66,628 Power plant, equipment and land 2,938,290 Derivative agreement -40,712 Long term financing -1,603,104 Assets identified for acquisition -1,200,000 Paid for corporate capital at closing -960,000 Paid into escrow -240,000 Consideration not allocated 0 The difference between the consideration and identified assets of EUR 318,330 has been allocated to the solar power plant. The payment for corporate capital has been split in two, EUR 960,000 was paid directly to Solis SpA and EUR 240,000 has been transferred to an escrow account held by an Italian notary. The escrow amount will be released on certain conditions defined in the purchase agreement between Solis SpA and the Company. 7.4 History and development of the Group The Company was incorporated in Norway on 1 July 2011 under the name Nordic Financial AS by a demerger of Nordisk Finans Invest AS. Shortly after, on 7 October, the Company was converted into a public limited liability company and changed its name to Nordic Financial ASA. The shares in the Company were listed on Oslo Axess on 7 November 2011 under the ticker code "NOFIN". An annual dividend of NOK 2.50 per share was distributed in both 2012 and

33 Aega ASA Prospectus A new Board of Directors was elected at the extraordinary General Meeting held on 10 January The new Board of Directors found that the shareholders would be better off if the Company's funds were returned to the shareholders, and hence the Company decided to return the lion's share of the available funds by execution of three distributions of dividend of NOK 32 per share, NOK 3 per share and NOK 7 per share, respectively. The active management agreement with Warren Capital AS mentioned above in Section 7.2 was terminated on 12 February In 2015, a new Board of Directors and election committee was elected at the extraordinary General Meeting held on 18 December. On 21 December, the Company announced the signing of a letter of intent to acquire Yieldco, representing a change in strategic direction for the Company to include investments in secondary solar parks in Italy and operating the acquired solar power plants. In 2016, a new Board of Directors was elected at an extraordinary General Meeting held on 18 January. Following the extraordinary General Meeting the Company changed its name to AEGA ASA and signed a share purchase agreement to acquire 100% of the shares in Yieldco. As a result of the Acquisition, the Company changed its strategy to purchase, maintain and operate SPPs located in Italy. Reference is made to section 7.2 above for a further description of the Acquisition. In 2016 the Company also changed to a quarterly dividend policy and distributed dividend of NOK per share in January 2016 and NOK 0,0750 in May The next distribution of dividend of NOK per share will be carried out on 31 August Business of the Group Objectives and strategy The Group acquires and manages Italian limited liability companies (SPVs) owing solar power plants in Italy. The SPVs can be purchased directly by the Company or indirectly by a subsidiary of the Company. This structure gives flexibility in case of potential restructurings of the assets, and minimizes potential operational and financial risks by isolating the SPV affected by the potential issue. The profits generated by the SPVs will be transferred to the Company in the form of dividends or group contributions. The Company and Aega Solar will focus on maximizing the Company's shareholders value through best practice operations Business plan Main strategic objectives In the Group s current two-year business plan two main strategic objectives have been indicated: 1. The growth target of the Group is to reach 50 MW installed capacity of solar plants by the end of The Group's objective is to pay quarterly dividends of 2.5% of the value per Share in the Acquisition (NOK 3.00) by distributing excess cash generated from the power plants, adjusted for working capital needs, to its shareholders The key assumptions upon which the business plan is based and sensitivity analysis Availability of attractive projects As further described in the risk factor set out in Section 2.1.2, the growth and dividend objectives will depend on solar plants being available at commercially attractive terms in compliance with the Group's investment criteria. The solar plants have to be available at such terms before the end of 2017 in order for the Group to reach its strategic objective within the planned timeline. Availability of financing I order to reach the target of 50 MW installed capacity of solar plants by the end of 2017, the Group will need access to financing at commercially attractive terms. Any failure or delay in acquiring such financing will most likely mean 33

34 Aega ASA Prospectus that the Group will not reach said target within the set time frame. Reference is in this regard made to the risk factor described in Section Interest rates As discussed in the risk factor described in Section 2.1.3, the individual solar parks the Group is targeting are normally financed with 70-80% debt. Such debt levels will be required in order for the Group to be able to pay the target dividend. However, the ability to distribute the target divided will also, among other factors, on the be dependent on the interest level on the financing. To mitigate this risk, the Group normally takes over, or enters into, new interest swap contracts to fix the interest rate when new plants are acquired, but there can be no assurance that the target dividend will be distributed in the future. Changes in FiT The Group has one costumer that accounts for above 80% of the Group's revenue, namely GSE. As further described in the risk factor described in Section 2.1.1, any new retroactive cuts in the FiT will severely damage the Group's capability to distribute the target dividend. Management team in Aega Solar As further described in the risk factor in Section , the Group s success is also dependent on the management team in Aega Solar. In particular, Aega Solar is important in the process of identifying new investment opportunities. The Company currently has an exclusive contract with Aega Solar until the end of Competitors If more competitors start buying parks within the Group s investment scope, it could possibly make it difficult for the Group to reach its current strategic objectives. Reference is made to Section 6.4 "Competition" for further information regarding competitors Group structure Reference is made to the chart included in Section 13.2 setting out the structure of the Group Investment criteria Each investment opportunity is tested against the Company s strict investment criteria. The investment focus can be summarized as targeting; 1. High quality parks with low risks, as determined by the management company and external professional advisers. 2. Smaller parks (1-5 MW) reaping economies of scale from being a professional and focused manager. 3. Fixed ground mounted solar parks, representing lower technical and operational risk. 4. Projects with geographic focus in the northern part of Italy, aiming at decreased business environment risks. 5. Projects offering adequate risk weighted yield and return potential. 6. Legally sound projects with no red flags. 7. Projects with potential for performance improvements. 34

35 Aega ASA Prospectus Description of the owned power plants General The Company currently owns a portfolio of six individual solar parks in Italy with an installed capacity of 6 MW. The Company focuses on acquisitions of smaller existing and operating solar parks (below 5 MW capacity), meeting the investment criteria included above Photo-Volt One S.r.l The power plant named Montalto, owned by the SPV Photo-Volt One S.r.l, is located in the municipality of Montalto di Castro in the Lazio region. The solar park is ground mounted and has an installed capacity of kw. The annual base case production (i.e. the expected annual production) is 1.19 GWh. The annual production (measured in kwh/mwh/gwh) equals the installed capacity (measured in kwp/mwp/gwp) multiplied by the annual solar irradiation (measured as inflow per m 2 ). The power plant commenced commercial operation in August 2011 and was purchased by the Group in the third quarter of Terni (DT S.r.l) The power plant named DT, owned by the SPV DT S.r.l, is located in the municipality of Terni in the Umbria region.

The solar park is ground mounted and has an installed capacity of kw. Piano Molino has an annual base case production of 1.33 GWh. The power plant commenced commercial operation in December 2009 and was purchased by the Group on 24 June Material contracts Management agreement The Company entered into a management agreement with Aega Solar on 11 April 2016 regarding operations of the solar park portfolio, sourcing of new investments, due diligence and other services related to the solar plant business for the Group (the "Management Agreement"). The General Meeting approved the Management Agreement on 18 May Pursuant to the Management Agreement, the Company has appointed Aega Solar, which may also act through a subsidiary (in any case referred to as "Aega Solar"), as manager of sourcing and transaction services and operational management services. Aega Solar shall not be allowed to conduct management services for parties other than the Group for a period ending on the earlier of (i) 5 years from signing of the Management Agreement and (ii) such date when the Company has obtained a market capitalization of at least NOK 1 billion on a regulated stock market, but in 35

36 Aega ASA Prospectus any case no earlier than 31 December 2017 (the Exclusivity Period ), unless the Company has given its prior explicit and written consent and provided that routines are established to minimize potential conflicts of interests. After the Exclusivity Period, Aega Solar shall be free to perform sourcing and management operations for other parties. To the extent Aega Solar chooses to do such work for other parties, the Company shall also be released of its exclusivity and be free to engage other parties for sourcing and management operations services for any subsequent investments made by the Company. As consideration for the services provided, Aega Solar shall be entitled to (i) a fixed annual base fee of NOK 3 million until the time the Company has made equity investments of at least NOK 500 million, (ii) a variable annual base fee of 2.5% of invested equity in projects acquired after the date of the Management Agreement ("New Investments"), (iii) an annual success fee of 23% of free cash flow available for distribution to the shareholders of the Company from New Investments exceeding 7.5% of invested equity in New Investments and (iv) for the investments made prior to the date of the Management Agreement, an annual fixed fee of 1% of the original gross enterprise value of such investments.

Aega Solar may in addition terminate the Management Agreement without cause in writing with 6 months' notice at any time after the date falling 54 months after the execution of the Management Agreement Other material agreements Save for the Management Agreement described in Section 7.6.1, no company in the Group has entered into any other material contract outside the ordinary course of business for the two years prior to the date of this Prospectus. Further, no company in the Group has entered into any other contract outside the ordinary course of business which contains any provision under which any member of the Group has any material obligation or entitlement. 7.7 Environment The Group's waste management will be done within current regulations, and there is no danger of emissions from SPPs. Material recycling value is expected to exceed the dismantling and recycling cost. There are no environmental issues that may affect the Group's utilisation of the tangible fixed assets. 7.8 Legal proceedings The Company holds 100,000 shares in the listed company Wilson ASA. In accordance with the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act, which requires a majority owner with a holding of more than 90% of the shares to buy the remaining shares if required by any of the minority shareholders, the Company has required the majority owner of Wilson ASA to buy the remaining shares. The majority owner has confirmed that it is required to do so. However, there is a dispute regarding the valuation of the shares. The Company is of the opinion that the fair value is around NOK per share, consistent with Wilson ASA's booked equity, while the offer from the majority owner initially was NOK 12 per share. A case of valuation was held in the Haugaland court of first instance in April 2016 and on 6 May 2016 the court determined the value to be NOK per share. The court also decided that the Company should bear its own and the other party s costs in relation to the case. The Company has appealed the decision. In the Interim Financial Statements, a value of NOK per share has been used and a provision for potential case costs has been made. The Group is currently involved in a tax dispute with the Italian tax authorities with respect to two of the Group's Italian subsidiaries. Italian tax authorities have claimed repayment from the Group of approximately EUR 630,000. The Group has disputed the claim and negotiations with the Italian tax authorities have been initiated with a view to reaching a settlement. The Group s view is that any liability deriving from said claims is covered by the warranties provided for in the share purchase agreements signed with the seller of the relevant plants. From time to time, the Group may become involved in litigation, disputes and other legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. Such claims, even if lacking merit, could result in the expenditure of significant financial 36

37 Aega ASA Prospectus and managerial resources. Other than as described above, the Group is not, nor has it been during the course of the preceding 12 months, involved in any legal, governmental or arbitration proceedings which may have, or has had in the recent past, significant effects on the Group's and/or the Group's financial position or profitability, and the Group is not aware of any such proceedings which are pending or threatened. 7.9 Dependency on contracts, patents, licenses etc. It is the Company s opinion that the Group s existing business or profitability is not dependent upon any contracts, except for the Management Agreement described in Section It is further the opinion of the Company that the Group s existing business or profitability is not dependent on any patents or licenses Principal investments For a description of the Company's principal investments, reference is made to the annual financial statements for the Group as of and for the year ended 31 December 2015 incorporated by reference in hereto, see Section 17.3 Incorporation by reference. In addition, the Company has carried out the Acquisition and the acquisition of Piano Molino S.r.l. as further described in Section 7.2 and Section 7.3, respectively. 37

The selected financial information should be read in connection with and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Financial Statements and the Interim Financial Information, hereunder the auditor s reports and accounting policies, incorporated by reference hereto, see Section 17.3 Incorporation by reference. The Company decided to change the reporting currency from NOK to EUR with effect from 1 January 2016 due to the change of business of the Company following the Acquisition. For this reason, the tables for the financial periods ended 31 December 2014 and 2015 and the tables for the selected interim financial information as of and for the three month periods ended 31 March 2015 and 2016 are separated below. The selected financial information as of and for the three months period ended 31 March 2015 included in the tables below is derived from the unaudited report for the three months period ending 31 March 2016 as this report contains comparative financial information in EUR, while the financial information in the unaudited report for the three months period ending 31 March 2015 is in NOK. In addition, and as shown in the tables below, the change of business of the Company has also resulted in change of itemisation in the accounts with effect from 1 January Statement of income The table below sets out selected data from the Group s statement of income for the years ended 31 December 2014 and In NOK Year ended 31 December 2015 (audited) 2014 (audited) Revenue Interest income... 22, ,590 Received dividends... 50,000 2,660,350 Fair value gains/(losses) on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss ,985-5,140,556 Net revenue ,070-2,190,616 Operating cost Management services ,758 Administrative expenses ,188 2,334,465 Total operating cost ,188 1,611,707 Operation profit ,118-3,802,323 Finance cost , ,940 Profit before income tax ,118-4,194,263 Income tax expense Profit for the period ,118-4,194,263 Other comprehensive income Other comprehensive income Total comprehensive income for the period ,118-4,194,263 Earnings per share Continuing operations Basic = Diluted The table below sets out selected data from the unaudited statement of income for the Group for the three months ended 31 March 2015 and In EUR As of 31 March 2016 (unaudited) 2015 (unaudited) Feed-In Tariff revenue ,454 55,614 40

The incentive is paid in equal instalments each month based on 90% of a basis production by the GSE. In June/July the following year the Group receives the difference between the payments received by the GSE and the actual production multiplied by the FiD. The Group's main costs are financing costs. Operational costs are mainly regulated by long term fixed price contracts The three months period ending 31 March 2016 compared to the three months period ending 31 March 2015 In the first quarter of 2016 the cash flow from operations was EUR -330,631 compared to EUR -11,029 in the first quarter of Cash flow from investments in the first quarter of 2016 was EUR 93,551 compared to EUR -366,970 in the first quarter of 2015, which related the purchase of DT S.r.l (as further described in section ) in 2015 which was cash negative in the first quarter of 2015 and to cash that came from the Acquisition. Cash flow from financing was negative EUR 52,381 in the first quarter of The net cash flow in the first quarter of 2016 was negative EUR 291,125. At the end of the first quarter of 2016 the Company had an installed capacity of 5 MW compared to 2 MW in the in the first quarter of The increased operations lead to higher depreciation and activity in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the first quarter of The solar irradiation of the first and fourth quarters are the lowest, which has a negative impact on profits for these periods and reduced the ordinary profit before tax. In addition, the Company's acquisition and transaction costs amounted to EUR 637,375 including a write-down of EUR 361,662 due to the purchase price allocation of Nordic Financials ASA also reducing the ordinary profit before tax. The cash flow from financing in the first quarter of 2016 was mainly related to repayments of outstanding leasing and project finance. 44

45 Aega ASA Prospectus The cash at the end of the first quarter of 2016 increased to EUR 1,096,369 compared to EUR 391,113 in the first quarter of The year ending 31 December 2015 compared to the year ending 31 December 2014 Due to downsizing of the operations in 2014, the 2015 net cash inflow from operating activities was reduced to NOK -2,841,862 from NOK 184,469,753 in The positive operational cash flow in 2014 mainly comes from sale of almost all of the financial assets of the Company. In 2015, the Company bought financial assets for NOK 2,300,708, affecting the operational cash flow negatively. The cash flow from financing activities was NOK -159,999 in 2015 compared to NOK -185,804,567 in After the aforementioned sale of financial assets in 2014, the Company repaid most of its outstanding debt amounting to NOK 92,629,801. In addition, the proceeds from the sale were used to distribute dividends of NOK 92,778, Off-balance sheet arrangements As of 31 December 2015, the Group did not have any material off-balance sheet obligations that were not reflected in its Financial Statements at such date. 9.8 Trend information The market price of electricity has decreased from about 80 EUR/MWh in 2008 to about 40 EUR/MWh in When purchasing new solar parks the Company uses an energy price of 40 EUR/MWh without any inflation adjustment in its calculations. For a solar park in Italy of 1 MW, revenues from sale at market price of 40 EUR/MWh is typically between EUR 50,000 and EUR 75,000 depending on solar irradiation and operational availability of the solar park. Costs of operating the solar power plants have decreased over the last years from about EUR 85,000 per MW of installed capacity in 2010 to about 55,000 per MW of installed capacity in Significant changes Except for the acquisition of Yieldco in January 2016 (see Section 7.2 "The Acquisition"), the Private Placement completed in May 2016 (see Section 16 The Private Placement ), the entry into of the Management Agreement with Aega Solar on 11 April 2016 (see Section "Management agreement") and the acquisition of Piano Molino S.r.l.

The Acquisition was completed as a share transaction with an exchange ratio of approximately 4:1 (four Aega shares to one Yieldco share), where the Company as the legally acquiring entity issued 25,151,275 new shares to the shareholders of Yieldco. The Acquisition resulted in a significant gross change for the Company, as defined in the Oslo Stock Exchange's Continuing Obligations. In accordance with Commission Regulation (EC) No. 809/2004 of 29 April 2004 which sets out the requirements for preparation of pro forma financial information, unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information has been included in this Prospectus in order to describe how the Acquisition might have affected the Group's income statement information had the Acquisition been undertaken on 1 January Prior to the Acquisition, the Company held 0 shares in Yieldco. As a result of the Acquisition, the Company acquired 6,266,929 or % of the shares in Yieldco. The acquisitions of the shares took place on 20 January The purchase price for the shares was NOK per share. The pro forma financial information is based on a share ownership of %, and full consolidation of Yieldco and its subsidiaries into the Company. The subsidiaries of Yieldco are listed below: Aega Energy Prima AS Aega Energy Seconda AS Aega Energy Terza AS Photo-Volt One S.r.l. DT S.r.l. Collesanto S.r.l. JER-12 S.r.l. Apart from the Acquisition, no other transactions or circumstances mentioned in this Prospectus are covered by the Pro Forma Financial Information in this Section 10. The sources of the Pro Forma Financial Information are the financial statements of the Company and for Yieldco and its subsidiaries for the financial year ended 31 December The financial statements for Yieldco and its subsidiaries for the financial year ended 31 December 2015 are included in Appendix B to this Prospectus, while the financial statements for the Company are incorporated by reference (see Section 17.3 "Incorporation by reference") General information and purpose of the Pro Forma Financial Information In the preparation of the Pro Forma Financial Information, the principle of acquisition accounting as set out by IFRS 3 Business combinations has been followed, which is consistent with the anticipated treatment under IFRS in the Group s financial statements. The Pro Forma Financial Information set out below has been prepared by the Company to show how the Acquisition might have affected the Group s income statement information for the year ended 31 December 2015 as if the Acquisition had occurred on 1 January The Pro Forma Financial Information does not show how the Acquisition might have affected the Group's statement of financial position for the year ended 31 December 2015 as the Acquisition was carried out in the first quarter of The Company's statement of financial position in the first quarter of 2016 is identical to the pro forma financial position for the same period as the Acquisition has been accounted for, see the statement of financial position included in the Interim Financial Statements incorporated hereto by reference in Section 17.3 Incorporation by reference. Please note that the gross proceeds received in the Private Placement (approximately NOK 25.5 million) have not been included in the Company's statement of financial position for the first quarter of

47 Aega ASA Prospectus The Pro Forma Financial Information has been compiled to comply with Annex II of Regulation (EC) 809/2004. It should be noted that the Pro Forma Financial Information is not prepared in connection with an offering registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ( SEC ) under the U.S. Securities Act and consequently is not compliant with the SEC s rules on presentation of pro forma financial information. As such, a U.S. investor should not place reliance on the Pro Forma Financial Information included in this Prospectus. The assumptions underlying the pro forma adjustments and the IFRS adjustments, for the purpose of preparing the Pro Forma Financial Information, are described in the notes to the Pro Forma Financial Information included in Section below. Neither these adjustments nor the resulting Pro Forma Financial Information have been audited in accordance with Norwegian, international or United States generally accepted auditing standards, and the Pro Forma Financial Information have not been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Regulation S-X of the SEC or generally accepted practice in the United States. When evaluating the Pro Forma Financial Information, each reader should carefully consider the audited historical financial statements and the notes thereto and the notes to the Pro Forma Financial Information. The Pro Forma Financial Information does not include all of the information required for financial statements under IFRS. The Pro Forma Financial Information does not represent the actual combination of the financial statements of the Company and Yieldco and its subsidiaries in accordance with IFRS, since certain simplifications and assumptions have been made as discussed in this Section 10. Furthermore, the Pro Forma Financial Information is based on certain assumptions that would not necessarily have been applicable if the Company had ownership of these assets from the beginning of the periods presented in the Pro Forma Financial Information. The information describes a hypothetical situation. The Pro Forma Financial information has been prepared for illustrative purposes only to show how the Acquisition might have affected the Group s consolidated income statements for the periods presented if the Acquisition had occurred on 1 January Because of its nature, the Pro Forma Financial Information addresses a hypothetical situation and, therefore, does not represent the Group s actual financial position or results if the Acquisition had in fact occurred on this date, and is not representative of the results of operations for any future periods. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on this Pro Forma Financial Information. The Pro Forma Financial Information therefore does not reflect the Company or the Group s actual financial position and results. The Pro Forma Financial Information must not be considered final or complete, and may be amended in future publications of accounts. The Pro Forma Financial Information has not been audited, but the Company's auditor PwC has issued a report on the Pro Forma Financial Information, which is included in Appendix C to this Prospectus Accounting principles The consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared according to IFRS as adopted by the EU. The financial statements of Yieldco, Aega Energy Prima AS, Aega Energy Seconda AS and Aega Energy Terza AS are prepared according to NGAAP, and the financial statements of Photo-Volt One S.r.l., DT S.r.l., Collesanto S.r.l. and JER-12 S.r.l. are prepared according to IGAAP. Based on an analysis performed by the Company s management of the applied NGAAP accounting policies for the financial information of Yieldco, Aega Energy Prima AS, Aega Energy Seconda AS and Aega Energy Terza AS, no differences between NGAAP and the IFRS accounting policies of the Company were identified. Management s analysis has identified differences between IGAAP and the IFRS accounting policies of the Company regarding the application of leasing, derivatives, and fixed assets. These adjustments have been incorporated in the Pro Forma Financial Information and labelled as IFRS adjustments. No other differences were identified between IGAAP and IFRS following the review of Photo-Volt One S.r.l., DT S.r.l., Collesanto S.r.l. and JER-12 S.r.l. s accounting principles. The management of the Company has not identified any other adjustments to the accounting principles in order for the Pro Forma Financial Information to be prepared in accordance with IFRS for pro forma purposes Sources of the pro forma financial information historical financial information The Pro Forma Financial Information related to the Acquisition of Yieldco, has been prepared to illustrate the main effects that the Acquisition would have had on the Company's consolidated income statement for the year ended 31 December At 31 December 2015, the Company did not have any ownership interest in Yieldco. 47

48 Aega ASA Prospectus The unaudited pro forma condensed income statement for the year ended 31 December 2015 sets out the effect of the Acquisition as if it had occurred on 1 January The accompanying Pro Forma Financial Information is not intended to, and does not provide all the information and disclosures necessary to present a true and fair view in accordance with IFRS. Furthermore, because of its nature, the Pro Forma Financial Information addresses a hypothetical situation and therefore does not represent the Company s actual income statement. The Pro Forma Financial Information is prepared for illustrative purposes only. The Company announced on 18 January 2016 that it had, inter alia, completed the acquisition of all the shares in Yieldco against consideration in the form of new shares to the shareholders in Yieldco. As a result of the Acquisition, Yieldco became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company has performed an evaluation of the Acquisition and has determined that, with reference to relevant accounting considerations, the Acquisition constituted a reverse acquisition under IFRS. As such, in accordance with IFRS 3, for the purposes of accounting for the Acquisition, Yieldco constitutes the accounting acquirer and the Company constitutes the accounting acquiree. Further, the companies in the Yieldco group have not previously been presented in a consolidated financial statement and the results of the standalone accounts have therefore been combined in preparing the Pro Forma Financial Information. The 2015 pro forma income statement has been based on the audited 2015 annual financial statements of the Company, Yieldco, Aega Energy Prima AS, Aega Energy Seconda AS and Aega Energy Terza AS, together with the unaudited 2015 annual financial statements of Photo-Volt One S.r.l., DT S.r.l., Collesanto S.r.l. and JER-12 S.r.l.. The annual financial statements and management accounts of Photo-Volt One S.r.l., DT S.r.l., Collesanto S.r.l. and JER-12 S.r.l. are prepared under Italian GAAP and are presented in EUR. The annual financial statements of Yieldco, Aega Energy Prima AS, Aega Energy Seconda AS and Aega Energy Terza AS are all presented in NOK and have been converted to EUR for inclusion in this Section 10 using the rates EUR/NOK being the central bank of Norway's (Norges Bank) average rate for the relevant period. The four Italian entities, Photo-Volt One S.r.l., DT S.r.l., Collesanto S.r.l. and JER-12 S.r.l., all limited liability companies, have filed their unaudited condensed annual accounts to the Italian Business Register. These Italian accounts have never been subject to any audit, as this is not required under Italian law for companies of their size. The Italian financial statements are prepared in Italian. The unaudited annual accounts of the Italian entities for the financial year ended 31 December 2015 have been translated into English and are included in Appendix B to this Prospectus. The Group is subject to income tax in several jurisdictions, primarily Norway and Italy. The Group has chosen to give effect to the pro forma adjustments by using the applicable statutory rates for the relevant entity which would be expected to apply to the adjustments had they happened in the period presented. Since pro forma information is hypothetical information, the actual deductibility and eventual tax impact of the Acquisition will not mirror the tax effect included in the Pro Forma Financial Information and may be subject to discussion with relevant tax authorities. However, consistent with IFRS, the Group has given effect to possible taxation on the adjustments by using the relevant statutory rate. The 2015 audited financial statements for the Company are incorporated hereto by reference, see Section 17.3 Incorporation by reference. The 2015 audited financial statements for Aega Energy Prima AS, Aega Energy Seconda AS and Aega Energy Terza AS as well as the 2015 unaudited financial statements for Photo-Volt One S.r.l., DT S.r.l., Collesanto S.r.l. and JER-12 S.r.l.

Signatory powers The Company's CEO and the Chairman of the Board of Directors are, separately, authorized signatories of the Company. Nomination committee 61

62 The Company shall have a nomination committee. See Section 11.7 Nomination committee". General meetings The ordinary General Meeting shall approve the annual financial reports and annual statement, including the distribution of dividends. In addition, the ordinary General Meeting shall review and approve all other matters required by law or the Articles of Association. The Company may communicate by electronical means to give notices, information, documents etc. to the shareholders. Documents relating to matters to be addressed by the General Meeting which are made available on the Company's internet home page, will not be sent to the shareholders. Restrictions on transfer of Shares The Articles of Association do not provide for any restrictions on the transfer of Shares, or a right of first refusal in relation to the Shares. Share transfers are not subject to approval by the Board of Directors Certain aspects of Norwegian corporate law General meetings Through the General Meeting, shareholders exercise supreme authority in a Norwegian company. In accordance with Norwegian law, the annual General Meeting of shareholders is required to be held each year on or prior to 30 June. Norwegian law requires that written notice of annual General Meetings setting forth the time of, the venue for and the agenda of the meeting be sent to all shareholders with a known address no later than 21 days before the annual General Meeting of a Norwegian public limited company listed on a stock exchange or a regulated market shall be held, unless the articles of association stipulate a longer deadline, which is not currently the case for the Company. A shareholder may vote at the General Meeting either in person or by proxy appointed at their own discretion. Although Norwegian law does not require the Company to send proxy forms to its shareholders for General Meetings, the Company plans to include a proxy form with notices of General Meetings. All of the Company s shareholders who are registered in the register of shareholders maintained with the VPS as of the date of the General Meeting, or who have otherwise reported and documented ownership to Shares, are entitled to participate at General Meetings. Apart from the annual General Meeting, extraordinary General Meetings of shareholders may be held if the Board of Directors considers it necessary. An extraordinary General Meeting of shareholders must also be convened if, in order to discuss a specified matter, the auditor or shareholders representing at least 5% of the share capital demands this in writing. The requirements for notice and admission to the annual General Meeting also apply to extraordinary General Meetings. However, the annual General Meeting of a Norwegian public limited company may with a majority of at least two-thirds of the aggregate number of votes cast as well as at least two-thirds of the share capital represented at a General Meeting resolve that extraordinary General Meetings may be convened with a 14 day notice period until the next annual General Meeting provided the Company has procedures in place allowing shareholders to vote electronically. Voting rights amendments to the Articles of Association Each of the Shares carries one vote. In general, decisions that shareholders are entitled to make under Norwegian law or the Articles of Association may be made by a simple majority of the votes cast. In the case of elections or appointments, the person(s) who receive(s) the greatest number of votes cast are elected. However, as required under Norwegian law, certain decisions, including resolutions to waive preferential rights to subscribe in connection with any share issue in the Company, to approve a merger or demerger of the Company, to amend the Articles of Association, to authorize an increase or reduction in the share capital, to authorize an issuance of convertible loans or warrants by the Company or to authorize the Board of Directors to purchase Shares and hold them as treasury shares or to dissolve the Company, must receive the approval of at least two-thirds of the aggregate number of votes cast as well as at least two-thirds of the share capital represented at a General Meeting. Norwegian law further requires that certain decisions, which have the effect of substantially altering the rights and preferences of any shares or class of shares, receive the approval by the holders of such shares or class of shares as well as the majority required for amending the Articles of Association. Decisions that (i) would reduce the rights of some or all of the Company s shareholders in respect of dividend payments or other rights to assets or (ii) restrict the transferability of the Shares, require that at least 90% of the share capital represented at the General Meeting in question vote in favor of the resolution, as well as the majority required for amending the Articles of Association. 62

63 In general, only a shareholder registered in the VPS is entitled to vote for such Shares. Beneficial owners of the Shares that are registered in the name of a nominee are generally not entitled to vote under Norwegian law, nor is any person who is designated in the VPS register as the holder of such Shares as nominees. Investors should note that there are varying opinions as to the interpretation of the right to vote on nominee registered shares. In the Company s view, a nominee may not meet or vote for Shares registered on a NOM-account. A shareholder must, in order to be eligible to register, meet and vote for such Shares at the General Meeting, transfer the Shares from such NOM-account to an account in the shareholder s name. There are no quorum requirements that apply to the General Meetings. Additional issuances and preferential rights If the Company issues any new Shares, including bonus share issues, the Articles of Association must be amended, which requires the same vote as other amendments to the Articles of Association. In addition, under Norwegian law, the Company s shareholders have a preferential right to subscribe for new Shares issued by the Company. Preferential rights may be derogated from by resolution in a General Meeting passed by the same vote required to amend the Articles of Association. A derogation of the shareholders preferential rights in respect of bonus issues requires the approval of all outstanding Shares. The General Meeting may, by the same vote as is required for amending the Articles of Association, authorize the Board of Directors to issue new Shares, and to derogate from the preferential rights of shareholders in connection with such issuances. Such authorization may be effective for a maximum of two years, and the nominal value of the Shares to be issued may not exceed 50% of the registered par share capital when the authorization is registered with the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises. Under Norwegian law, the Company may increase its share capital by a bonus share issue, subject to approval by the Company s shareholders, by transfer from the Company s distributable equity or from the Company s share premium reserve and thus the share capital increase does not require any payment of a subscription price by the shareholders. Any bonus issues may be affected either by issuing new shares to the Company s existing shareholders or by increasing the nominal value of the Company s outstanding Shares. Issuance of new Shares to shareholders who are citizens or residents of the United States upon the exercise of preferential rights may require the Company to file a registration statement in the United States under United States securities laws. Should the Company in such a situation decide not to file a registration statement, the Company s U.S. shareholders may not be able to exercise their preferential rights. If a U.S. shareholder is ineligible to participate in a rights offering, such shareholder would not receive the rights at all and the rights would be sold on the shareholder s behalf by the Company. Minority rights Norwegian law sets forth a number of protections for minority shareholders of the Company, including, but not limited to, those described in this paragraph and the description of General Meetings as set out above. Any of the Company s shareholders may petition Norwegian courts to have a decision of the Board of Directors or the Company s shareholders made at the General Meeting declared invalid on the grounds that it unreasonably favors certain shareholders or third parties to the detriment of other shareholders or the Company itself. The Company s shareholders may also petition the courts to dissolve the Company as a result of such decisions to the extent particularly strong reasons are considered by the court to make necessary dissolution of the Company. Minority shareholders holding 5% or more of the Company s share capital have a right to demand in writing that the Company s Board of Directors convene an extraordinary General Meeting to discuss or resolve specific matters. In addition, any of the Company s shareholders may in writing demand that the Company place an item on the agenda for any General Meeting as long as the Company is notified in time for such item to be included in the notice of the meeting. If the notice has been issued when such a written demand is presented, a renewed notice must be issued if the deadline for issuing notice of the General Meeting has not expired. Rights of redemption and repurchase of Shares The share capital of the Company may be reduced by reducing the nominal value of the Shares or by cancelling Shares. Such a decision requires the approval of at least two-thirds of the aggregate number of votes cast and at least two-thirds of the share capital represented at a General Meeting. Redemption of individual Shares requires the consent of the holders of the Shares to be redeemed. 63

64 The Company may purchase its own Shares provided that the Board of Directors has been granted an authorization to do so by a General Meeting with the approval of at least two-thirds of the aggregate number of votes cast and at least two-thirds of the share capital represented at the meeting. The aggregate nominal value of treasury shares so acquired, and held by the Company must not exceed 10% of the Company s share capital, and treasury shares may only be acquired if the Company s distributable equity, according to the latest adopted balance sheet, exceeds the consideration to be paid for the shares. The authorization by the General Meeting of the Company s shareholders cannot be granted for a period exceeding 18 months. Shareholder vote on certain reorganizations A decision of the Company s shareholders to merge with another company or to demerge requires a resolution by the General Meeting passed by at least two-thirds of the aggregate votes cast and at least two-thirds of the share capital represented at the General Meeting. A merger plan, or demerger plan signed by the Board of Directors along with certain other required documentation, would have to be sent to all the Company s shareholders, or if the Articles of Association stipulate that, made available to the shareholders on the Company s website, at least one month prior to the General Meeting to pass upon the matter. Liability of members of the Board of Directors Board Members owe a fiduciary duty to the Company and its shareholders. Such fiduciary duty requires that the Board Members act in the best interests of the Company when exercising their functions and exercise a general duty of loyalty and care towards the Company. Their principal task is to safeguard the interests of the Company. Board Members may each be held liable for any damage they negligently or willfully cause the Company. Norwegian law permits the General Meeting to discharge any such person from liability, but such discharge is not binding on the Company if substantially correct and complete information was not provided at the General Meeting passing upon the matter. If a resolution to discharge the Company s Board Members from liability or not to pursue claims against such a person has been passed by a General Meeting with a smaller majority than that required to amend the Articles of Association, shareholders representing more than 10% of the share capital or, if there are more than 100 shareholders, more than 10% of the shareholders may pursue the claim on the Company s behalf and in its name. The cost of any such action is not the Company s responsibility but can be recovered from any proceeds the Company receives as a result of the action. If the decision to discharge any of the Company s Board Members from liability or not to pursue claims against the Company s Board Members is made by such a majority as is necessary to amend the Articles of Association, the minority shareholders of the Company cannot pursue such claim in the Company s name. Indemnification of Directors Neither Norwegian law nor the Articles of Association contains any provision concerning indemnification by the Company of the Board of Directors. The Company is permitted to purchase insurance for the Board Members against certain liabilities that they may incur in their capacity as such. Distribution of assets on liquidation Under Norwegian law, the Company may be wound-up by a resolution of the Company s shareholders at the General Meeting passed by at least two-thirds of the aggregate votes cast and at least two-thirds of the share capital represented at the meeting. In the event of liquidation, the Shares rank equally in the event of a return on capital Shareholders agreements To the knowledge of the Company, there are no shareholders agreements related to the Shares. 64

65 14 SECURITIES TRADING IN NORWAY Set out below is a summary of certain aspects of securities trading in Norway. The summary is based on the rules and regulations in force in Norway as at the date of this Prospectus, which may be subject to changes occurring after such date. The summary does not purport to be a comprehensive description of securities trading in Norway. Shareholders who wish to clarify the aspects of securities trading in Norway should consult with and rely upon their own advisors Introduction Oslo Axess was established in 2007 and is a Norwegian regulated market, operated by the Oslo Stock Exchange, in which mainly shares are traded Trading and settlement Trading of equities on Oslo Axess is carried out in the electronic trading system Millennium Exchange. This trading system is in use by all markets operated by the London Stock Exchange, including the Borsa Italiana, as well as by the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. Official trading on Oslo Axess takes place between 09:00 hours (CET) and 16:20 hours (CET) each trading day, with pre-trade period between 08:15 hours (CET) and 09:00 hours (CET), closing auction from 16:20 hours (CET) to 16:25 hours (CET) and a post-trade period from 16:25 hours (CET) to 17:30 hours (CET). Reporting of after exchange trades can be done until 17:30 hours (CET). The settlement period for trading on Oslo Axess is two trading days (T+2). This means that securities will be settled on the investor s account in the VPS two days after the transaction, and that the seller will receive payment after two days. Oslo Clearing ASA, a wholly-owned subsidiary of SIX x-clear AG, a company in the SIX group, has a license from the Norwegian FSA to act as a central clearing service, and has from 18 June 2010 offered clearing and counterparty services for equity trading on Oslo Axess. Investment services in Norway may only be provided by Norwegian investment firms holding a license under the Norwegian Securities Trading Act, branches of investment firms from an EEA member state or investment firms from outside the EEA that have been licensed to operate in Norway. Investment firms in an EEA member state may also provide cross-border investment services into Norway. It is possible for investment firms to undertake market-making activities in shares listed in Norway if they have a license to this effect under the Norwegian Securities Trading Act, or in the case of investment firms in an EEA member state, a license to carry out market-making activities in their home jurisdiction. Such market-making activities will be governed by the regulations of the Norwegian Securities Trading Act relating to brokers trading for their own account. However, such market-making activities do not as such require notification to the Norwegian FSA or the Oslo Stock Exchange except for the general obligation of investment firms that are members of the Oslo Stock Exchange to report all trades in stock exchange listed securities Information, control and surveillance Under Norwegian law, the Oslo Stock Exchange is required to perform a number of surveillance and control functions regarding Oslo Axess. The Surveillance and Corporate Control unit of the Oslo Stock Exchange monitors all market activity on a continuous basis. Market surveillance systems are largely automated, promptly warning department personnel of abnormal market developments. The Norwegian FSA controls the issuance of securities in both the equity and bond markets in Norway and evaluates whether the issuance documentation contains the required information and whether it would otherwise be unlawful to carry out the issuance. Under Norwegian law, a company that is listed on a Norwegian regulated market, or has applied for listing on such market, must promptly release any inside information directly concerning the company. Inside information means precise information about financial instruments, the issuer thereof or other matters which are likely to have a significant effect on the price of the relevant financial instruments or related financial instruments, and which are not publicly available or commonly known in the market. A company may, however, delay the release of such information in order not to prejudice its legitimate interests, provided that it is able to ensure the confidentiality of the information and that the delayed release would not be likely to mislead the public. The Oslo Stock Exchange may levy fines on 65

66 companies violating these requirements The VPS and transfer of Shares The Company s principal share register is operated through the VPS. The VPS is the Norwegian paperless centralized securities register. It is a computerized book-keeping system in which the ownership of, and all transactions relating to, Norwegian listed shares must be recorded. The VPS and the Oslo Stock Exchange are both wholly-owned by Oslo Børs VPS Holding ASA. All transactions relating to securities registered with the VPS are made through computerized book entries. No physical share certificates are, or may be, issued. The VPS confirms each entry by sending a transcript to the registered shareholder irrespective of any beneficial ownership. To give effect to such entries, the individual shareholder must establish a share account with a Norwegian account agent. Norwegian banks, Norges Bank (being, Norway s central bank), authorized securities brokers in Norway and Norwegian branches of credit institutions established within the EEA are allowed to act as account agents. As a matter of Norwegian law, the entry of a transaction in the VPS is prima facie evidence in determining the legal rights of parties as against the issuing company or any third party claiming an interest in the given security. A transferee or assignee of shares may not exercise the rights of a shareholder with respect to such shares unless such transferee or assignee has registered such shareholding or has reported and shown evidence of such share acquisition, and the acquisition is not prevented by law, the relevant company s articles of association or otherwise. The VPS is liable for any loss suffered as a result of faulty registration or an amendment to, or deletion of, rights in respect of registered securities unless the error is caused by matters outside the VPS control which the VPS could not reasonably be expected to avoid or overcome the consequences of. Damages payable by the VPS may, however, be reduced in the event of contributory negligence by the aggrieved party. The VPS must provide information to the Norwegian FSA on an ongoing basis, as well as any information that the Norwegian FSA requests. Further, Norwegian tax authorities may require certain information from the VPS regarding any individual s holdings of securities, including information about dividends and interest payments Shareholder register Norwegian law Under Norwegian law, shares are registered in the name of the beneficial owner of the shares. As a general rule, there are no arrangements for nominee registration and Norwegian shareholders are not allowed to register their shares in the VPS through a nominee. However, foreign shareholders may register their shares in the VPS in the name of a nominee (bank or other nominee) approved by the Norwegian FSA. An approved and registered nominee has a duty to provide information on demand about beneficial shareholders to the company and to the Norwegian authorities. In case of registration by nominees, the registration in the VPS must show that the registered owner is a nominee. A registered nominee has the right to receive dividends and other distributions, but cannot vote in General Meetings on behalf of the beneficial owners Foreign investment in shares listed in Norway Foreign investors may trade shares listed on Oslo Axess through any broker that is a member of the Oslo Stock Exchange, whether Norwegian or foreign Disclosure obligations If a person s, entity s or consolidated group s proportion of the total issued shares and/or rights to shares in a company listed on a regulated market in Norway (with Norway as its home state, which will be the case for the Company) reaches, exceeds or falls below the respective thresholds of 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 1/3, 50%, 2/3 or 90% of the share capital or the voting rights of that company, the person, entity or group in question has an obligation under the Norwegian Securities Trading Act to notify the Oslo Stock Exchange and the issuer immediately. The same applies if the disclosure thresholds are passed due to other circumstances, such as a change in the company s share capital. 66

67 14.8 Insider trading According to Norwegian law, subscription for, purchase, sale or exchange of financial instruments that are listed, or subject to the application for listing, on a Norwegian regulated market, or incitement to such dispositions, must not be undertaken by anyone who has inside information, as defined in Section 3-2 of the Norwegian Securities Trading Act. The same applies to the entry into, purchase, sale or exchange of options or futures/forward contracts or equivalent rights whose value is connected to such financial instruments or incitement to such dispositions Mandatory offer requirement The Norwegian Securities Trading Act requires any person, entity or consolidated group that becomes the owner of shares representing more than one-third of the voting rights of a company listed on a Norwegian regulated market (with the exception of certain foreign companies not including the Company) to, within four weeks, make an unconditional general offer for the purchase of the remaining shares in that company. A mandatory offer obligation may also be triggered where a party acquires the right to become the owner of shares that, together with the party s own shareholding, represent more than one-third of the voting rights in the company and the Oslo Stock Exchange decides that this is regarded as an effective acquisition of the shares in question. The mandatory offer obligation ceases to apply if the person, entity or consolidated group sells the portion of the shares that exceeds the relevant threshold within four weeks of the date on which the mandatory offer obligation was triggered. When a mandatory offer obligation is triggered, the person subject to the obligation is required to immediately notify the Oslo Stock Exchange and the company in question accordingly. The notification is required to state whether an offer will be made to acquire the remaining shares in the company or whether a sale will take place. As a rule, a notification to the effect that an offer will be made cannot be retracted. The offer and the offer document required are subject to approval by the Oslo Stock Exchange before the offer is submitted to the shareholders or made public. The offer price per share must be at least as high as the highest price paid or agreed by the offeror for the shares in the six-month period prior to the date the threshold was exceeded. If the acquirer acquires or agrees to acquire additional shares at a higher price prior to the expiration of the mandatory offer period, the acquirer is obliged to restate its offer at such higher price. A mandatory offer must be in cash or contain a cash alternative at least equivalent to any other consideration offered. In case of failure to make a mandatory offer or to sell the portion of the shares that exceeds the relevant threshold within four weeks, the Oslo Stock Exchange may force the acquirer to sell the shares exceeding the threshold by public auction. Moreover, a shareholder who fails to make an offer may not, as long as the mandatory offer obligation remains in force, exercise rights in the company, such as voting in a General Meeting, without the consent of a majority of the remaining shareholders. The shareholder may, however, exercise his/her/its rights to dividends and pre-emption rights in the event of a share capital increase. If the shareholder neglects his/her/its duty to make a mandatory offer, the Oslo Stock Exchange may impose a cumulative daily fine that runs until the circumstance has been rectified. Any person, entity or consolidated group that owns shares representing more than one-third of the votes in a company listed on a Norwegian regulated market (with the exception of certain foreign companies not including the Company) is obliged to make an offer to purchase the remaining shares of the company (repeated offer obligation) if the person, entity or consolidated group through acquisition becomes the owner of shares representing 40%, or more of the votes in the company. The same applies correspondingly if the person, entity or consolidated group through acquisition becomes the owner of shares representing 50% or more of the votes in the company. The mandatory offer obligation ceases to apply if the person, entity or consolidated group sells the portion of the shares which exceeds the relevant threshold within four weeks of the date on which the mandatory offer obligation was triggered. Any person, entity or consolidated group that has passed any of the above mentioned thresholds in such a way as not to trigger the mandatory bid obligation, and has therefore not previously made an offer for the remaining shares in the company in accordance with the mandatory offer rules is, as a main rule, obliged to make a mandatory offer in the event of a subsequent acquisition of shares in the company Compulsory acquisition Pursuant to the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act and the Norwegian Securities Trading Act, a shareholder who, directly or through subsidiaries, acquires shares representing 90% or more of the total number of issued shares in a Norwegian public limited liability company, as well as 90% or more of the total voting rights, has a 67

68 right, and each remaining minority shareholder of the company has a right to require such majority shareholder, to effect a compulsory acquisition for cash of the shares not already owned by such majority shareholder. Through such compulsory acquisition the majority shareholder becomes the owner of the remaining shares with immediate effect. If a shareholder acquires shares representing more than 90% of the total number of issued shares, as well as more than 90% of the total voting rights, through a voluntary offer in accordance with the Securities Trading Act, a compulsory acquisition can, subject to the following conditions, be carried out without such shareholder being obliged to make a mandatory offer: (i) the compulsory acquisition is commenced no later than four weeks after the acquisition of shares through the voluntary offer, (ii) the price offered per share is equal to or higher than what the offer price would have been in a mandatory offer, and (iii) the settlement is guaranteed by a financial institution authorized to provide such guarantees in Norway. A majority shareholder who effects a compulsory acquisition is required to offer the minority shareholders a specific price per share, the determination of which is at the discretion of the majority shareholder. However, where the offeror, after making a mandatory or voluntary offer, has acquired more than 90% of the voting shares of a company and a corresponding proportion of the votes that can be cast at the General Meeting, and the offeror pursuant to Section 4-25 of the Norwegian Public Liability Limited Companies Act completes a compulsory acquisition of the remaining shares within three months after the expiry of the offer period, it follows from the Norwegian Securities Trading Act that the redemption price shall be determined on the basis of the offer price for the mandatory/voluntary offer unless specific reasons indicate another price. Should any minority shareholder not accept the offered price, such minority shareholder may, within a specified deadline of not less than two months, request that the price be set by a Norwegian court. The cost of such court procedure will, as a general rule, be the responsibility of the majority shareholder, and the relevant court will have full discretion in determining the consideration to be paid to the minority shareholder as a result of the compulsory acquisition. Absent a request for a Norwegian court to set the price or any other objection to the price being offered, the minority shareholders would be deemed to have accepted the offered price after the expiry of the specified deadline Foreign exchange controls There are currently no foreign exchange control restrictions in Norway that would potentially restrict the payment of dividends to a shareholder outside Norway, and there are currently no restrictions that would affect the right of shareholders of a company that has its shares registered with the VPS who are not residents in Norway to dispose of their shares and receive the proceeds from a disposal outside Norway. There is no maximum transferable amount either to or from Norway, although transferring banks are required to submit reports on foreign currency exchange transactions into and out of Norway into a central data register maintained by the Norwegian customs and excise authorities. The Norwegian police, tax authorities, customs and excise authorities, the National Insurance Administration and the Norwegian FSA have electronic access to the data in this register. 68

69 15 TAXATION Set out below is a summary of certain Norwegian and United States tax matters related to an investment in the Company. The summary regarding Norwegian and United States taxation is based on the laws in force in Norway and United States as at the date of this Prospectus, which may be subject to any changes in law occurring after such date. Such changes could possibly be made on a retrospective basis. The following summary does not purport to be a comprehensive description of all the tax considerations that may be relevant to a decision to purchase, own or dispose of the shares in the Company. Shareholders who wish to clarify their own tax situation should consult with and rely upon their own tax advisers. Shareholders resident in jurisdictions other than Norway and shareholders who cease to be resident in Norway for tax purposes (due to domestic tax law or tax treaty) should specifically consult with and rely upon their own tax advisers with respect to the tax position in their country of residence and the tax consequences related to ceasing to be resident in Norway for tax purposes. Please note that for the purpose of the summary below, a reference to a Norwegian or non-norwegian shareholder refers to the tax residency rather than the nationality of the shareholder Norwegian taxation Norwegian Shareholders Taxation of Dividends Dividends received by shareholders that are limited liability companies (and certain similar entities) resident in Norway for tax purposes ( Norwegian Corporate Shareholders ) are effectively taxed at a rate of 0.75% (i.e. 3% of dividend income from such shares is included in the calculation of ordinary income for Norwegian Corporate Shareholders and ordinary income is subject to tax at a flat rate of currently 25%). Dividends received by shareholders who are individuals resident in Norway for tax purposes ( Norwegian Individual Shareholders ) are taxable at a flat rate of currently 28.75% to the extent the dividend exceeds a tax-free allowance. The allowance is calculated on a share-by-share basis. The allowance for each share is equal to the cost price of the share (plus any excess allowance from previous years) multiplied by a determined risk-free interest rate based on the effective rate after tax of interest on treasury bills (Norwegian: statskasseveksler ) with three months maturity. The allowance is calculated for each calendar year, and it is allocated solely to Norwegian Individual Shareholders holding shares at the expiration of the relevant income year. Norwegian Individual Shareholders who transfer shares will thus not be entitled to deduct any calculated allowance related to the year of transfer. Any part of the calculated allowance one year exceeding the dividend distributed on the share ( excess allowance ) may be carried forward and set off against future dividends received on (or gains upon realisation of, see below) the same share. Any excess allowance will also be included in the basis for calculating the allowance on the same share in the following years. Taxation of Capital Gains Sale, redemption or other disposal of shares is considered a realisation for Norwegian tax purposes. Capital gains generated by Norwegian Corporate Shareholders through a realisation of shares qualifying for Norwegian participation exemption, including the shares in the Company, are exempt from tax. Losses upon the realisation of shares and costs incurred in connection with the purchase and realisation of such shares are not tax deductible for Norwegian Corporate Shareholders. A capital gain or loss generated by a Norwegian Individual Shareholder through realisation of shares is taxable or tax deductible in Norway, at a rate of currently 28.75%. The capital gain or loss is included in or deducted from the shareholder s ordinary income in the year of disposal. The gain is subject to tax and the loss is tax deductible irrespective of the duration of the ownership and the number of shares disposed of. The taxable gain/deductible loss is calculated per share, as the difference between the consideration for the share and the Norwegian Individual Shareholder s cost price of the share, including any costs incurred in relation to the acquisition or realisation of the share. From this capital gain, Norwegian Individual Shareholders are entitled to deduct a calculated allowance, provided that such allowance has not already been used to reduce taxable dividend income. Please refer to Section Norwegian Shareholders - Taxation of dividends above for a description of the calculation of the allowance. The allowance may only be deducted in order to reduce a taxable gain, and cannot increase or produce a deductible loss, i.e., any unused allowance exceeding the capital gain upon the realisation of a share will be annulled. 69

70 If the Norwegian Individual Shareholder owns shares acquired at different points in time, the shares that were first acquired will be regarded as the first to be disposed of (the first in first out -principle). Net Wealth Tax The value of shares is included in the basis for computation of net wealth tax imposed on Norwegian Individual Shareholders. The marginal tax rate is currently 0.85% of the value assessed. The value for assessment purposes for listed shares is equal to the listed value as of 1 January in the year of assessment (i.e. the year following the relevant fiscal year). Norwegian Corporate Shareholders are not subject to net wealth tax Non-Norwegian Shareholders Taxation of Dividends Dividends distributed to shareholders that are not resident in Norway for tax purposes ( Non-Norwegian Shareholders ) from a Norwegian limited liability company are as a general rule subject to Norwegian withholding tax at a rate of 25%. The withholding tax rate of 25% is normally reduced through tax treaties between Norway and the country in which the shareholder is resident. Dividends distributed to Non-Norwegian Shareholders that are limited liability companies ( Non-Norwegian Corporate Shareholders ) resident within the EEA for tax purposes are exempt from Norwegian withholding tax provided that the shareholder is the beneficial owner of the shares and that the shareholder is genuinely established and performs genuine economic business activities within the relevant EEA jurisdiction. If the Non-Norwegian Corporate Shareholder holds the shares in connection with business activities in Norway, the shareholder will be subject to the same taxation as a Norwegian Corporate Shareholder, as described above. Non-Norwegian Shareholders who are individuals ( Non-Norwegian Individual Shareholders ) resident within the EEA for tax purposes may apply individually to Norwegian tax authorities for a refund for an amount corresponding to the calculated tax-free allowance in respect of each individual share, please see Section "Norwegian Shareholders" above. If a Non-Norwegian Individual Shareholder is carrying on business activities in Norway and the shares are effectively connected with such activities, the shareholder will be subject to the same taxation of dividends as a Norwegian Individual Shareholder, as described above. Non-Norwegian Shareholders who have suffered a higher withholding tax than set out in an applicable tax treaty may apply individually to the Norwegian tax authorities for a refund of the excess withholding tax deducted. The withholding obligation in respect of dividends distributed to Non-Norwegian Shareholders lies with the company distributing the dividends and the Company assumes this obligation. Foreign Shareholders should consult their own advisers regarding the availability of treaty benefits in respect of dividend payments. Taxation of Capital Gains Capital gains derived from the sale or other disposal of shares in the Company by Non-Norwegian Corporate Shareholders are not subject to taxation in Norway. Gains from the sale or other disposal of shares in the Company by a Non-Norwegian Individual Shareholder will not be subject to tax in Norway unless the Non-Norwegian Shareholder holds the shares in connection with business activities carried out or managed from Norway. Such taxation may be limited according to an applicable tax treaty or other specific regulations. Net Wealth Tax Shareholders not resident in Norway for tax purposes are not subject to Norwegian net wealth tax with respect to the Shares, unless the shareholder is an individual, and the shareholding is effectively connected to the conduct of trade or business in Norway. 70

71 VAT and transfer taxes etc. No VAT, transfer taxes, stamp or similar duties are currently imposed in Norway on the purchase, issuance, disposal or redemption of shares Inheritance Tax A transfer of shares through inheritance or as a gift does not give rise to inheritance or gift tax in Norway. 71

72 16 THE PRIVATE PLACEMENT This Section provides information on the completed Private Placement. Please note that the New Shares issued in the Private Placement have already been subscribed for, paid and issued Background for and term of the Private Placement The Company carried out the Private Placement with gross proceeds up to approximately NOK 25 million in order to be able to further grow the Company in accordance with its strategy by investing in new solar power plants in Italy and to strengthen the Company's balance sheet. The Private Placement was directed towards existing shareholders, Norwegian investors and international institutional investors, pursuant to and in compliance with applicable exemptions from the obligation to publish an offering prospectus pursuant to the Norwegian Securities Trading Act.. The minimum subscription and allocation amount in the Private Placement was the NOK or share equivalent of EUR 100,000, provided however, that the Company and Pioner Kapital AS reserved the right to offer up to 149 investors to subscribe for or be allocated a lower amount. The New Shares were offered at a subscription price of NOK 3.00 per Share. The subscription period in the Private Placement lasted from 2 May 2016 until 27 May The allocation of the New Shares was at the discretion of the Board of the Company with a view to achieving a preferable ownership structure. In addition, the size of the order and the time and date of submission were taken into consideration when making such decision. Obtaining capital in order to finance the Company's acquisitions of new solar power plants is an important part of the Company's growth strategy.

87 Regnskapsprinsipper Årsregnskap er satt opp i samsvar med regnskapsloven av 1998, etter reglene for små foretak og det er utarbeidet etter norske regnskapsstandarder. DRIFTSINNTEKTER OG KOSTNADER Inntektsføring skjer etter opptjeningsprinsippet som normalt vil være leveringstidspunktet for varer og tjenester. Kostnader medtas etter sammenstillingsprinsippet, dvs. at kostnader medtas i samme periode som tilhørende inntekter inntektsføres. HOVEDREGEL FOR VURDERING OG KLASSIFISERING AV EIENDELER OG GJELD Eiendeler bestemt til varig eie eller bruk er klassifisert som anleggsmidler. Andre eiendeler er klassifisert som omløpsmidler. Fordringer som skal tilbakebetales innen et år er uansett klassifisert som omløpsmidler. Ved klassifisering av kortsiktig og langsiktig gjeld er analoge kriterier lagt til grunn. Anleggsmidler vurderes til anskaffelseskost, men nedskrives til virkelig verdi når verdifallet forventes ikke å være forbigående. Anleggsmidler med begrenset økonomisk levetid avskrives planmessig. Langsiktig gjeld balanseføres til nominelt mottatt beløp på etableringstidspunktet. Omløpsmidler vurderes til laveste av anskaffelseskost og virkelig verdi. Kortsiktig gjeld balanseføres til nominelt mottatt beløp på etableringstidspunktet. Enkelte poster er vurdert etter andre regler. Postene det gjelder vil være blant de postene som omhandles nedenfor. VALUTA Pengeposter i utenlandsk valuta omregnes til balansedagens kurs. Fordringer og gjeld som er sikret med valutaterminkontrakter er vurdert til terminkurs, med unntak av renteelementet som blir periodisert og klassifisert som renteinntekt/-kostnad. VARIGE DRIFTSMIDLER Varige driftsmidler avskrives over forventet økonomisk levetid. Avskrivningene er som hovedregel fordelt lineært over antatt økonomisk levetid. ANDRE ANLEGGSAKSJER OG ANDELER Anleggsaksjer og mindre investeringer i ansvarlige selskaper og kommandittselskaper hvor ikke har betydelig innflytelse balanseføres til anskaffelseskost. Investeringene blir nedskrevet til virkelig verdi dersom verdifallet ikke er forbigående. Mottatt utbytte og andre overskuddsutdelinger fra selskapene inntektføres som annen finansinntekt. FORDRINGER Kundefordringer og andre fordringer oppføres til pålydende etter fradrag for avsetning til forventet tap. Avsetning til tap gjøres på grunnlag av en individuell vurdering av de enkelte fordringene. I tillegg gjøres det for øvrige kundefordringer en uspesifisert avsetning for å dekke antatt tap. SKATT Skattekostnaden i resultatregnskapet omfatter både periodens betalbare skatt og endring i utsatt skatt. Utsatt skatt er beregnet med 25% på grunnlag av de midlertidige forskjeller som eksisterer mellom regnskapsmessige og skattemessige verdier, samt ligningsmessig underskudd til fremføring ved utgangen av regnskapsåret. Skatteøkende og skattereduserende midlertidige forskjeller som reverserer eller kan reversere i samme periode er utlignet og nettoført. Utsatt skatt på merverdier i forbindelse med oppkjøp av datterselskap blir ikke utlignet. 87

The accounting principles listed below have been adjusted to reflect the changes and integrations introduced within the scope of the 2014 updating of the National Accounting Principles, definitively approved and published by the OIC on 5 August 2014 (except for OIC 24 which was approved on 28 January 2015). Specifically, compared to earlier versions, the following accounting principles have been revised: OIC 9 Write-downs for long-lasting value losses of tangible and intangible fixed assets OIC 10 Financial reporting OIC 12 Financial statements composition and tables/schedules OIC 13 Inventories OIC 14 Cash and cash equivalents OIC 15 Receivables OIC 16 Tangible fixed assets OIC 17 Consolidated financial statements and the equity method OIC 18 Accruals, prepaid expenses and deferred income OIC 19 Payables OIC 20 Debt securities OIC 21 Investments and treasury shares OIC 22 Memorandum accounts OIC 23 Work in progress OIC 24 Intangible fixed assets 132

133 OIC 25 Income taxes OIC 26 Foreign currency transactions, assets and liabilities, OIC 28 Net equity OIC 29 Changes to accounting principles, accounting estimates, error corrections, extraordinary events and business, events occurring after the reporting period. OIC 31 Provisions for liabilities and charges and end of service severance. All other principles have remained unchanged. Structure and content of the draft Financial Statements The balance sheet, income statement and the accounting information contained in these notes comply with the accounting entries from which they have been directly inferred. Valuation criteria The valuation of financial statement line items has been carried out according to general principles of prudence, accrual basis of accounting and the concept of a going concern. For the purpose of accounting posting, prevalence is given to the economic substance of transactions rather than to their legal form. Income is only recognised if realised within the end of the financial period, whilst risks and losses are taken into account even if only subsequently known. Individual line items do not include any heterogeneous elements; assets that are destined to be used over a long time are classified as fixed assets. Specifically, valuation criteria used in drafting the financial statements are addressed in the rest of these notes. Information on company performance No significant facts occurred during the course of the year. Valuation of foreign currency accounts As of the end of the reporting period the company has no foreign currency denominated receivables or payables. Transactions with pre-established repurchase obligations In the year the company has not entered into any transactions having pre-established repurchase obligations. 133

134 Supplementary notes on Assets Assets on the Balance Sheet are valued in accordance with article 2426 of the Italian Civil Code and in compliance with national accounting principles. Specific valuation criteria are further addressed for different line items. Intangible fixed assets These are booked at purchase cost and adjusted by their corresponding amortisation accounts. If, regardless of accumulated amortisation, a long-lasting value loss exists, the fixed asset is written-down. The amortisation criteria is applied to intangible fixed assets systematically every year in relation to the residual possibility of economic use of each asset or expense.

Tangible fixed assets Tangible fixed assets are shown at purchase cost, including any accessory expenses, or at their production cost, and are adjusted by their corresponding depreciation accounts. Depreciation expense, recorded on the income statement, is calculated taking into account the economic-technical use, purpose and life of each asset, based on criteria of residual possibility of use which criteria are deemed to be well represented by the following depreciation rates, which are unchanged from the previous year. Intangible fixed assets Specific plants 4% Depreciation rate 134

173 Supplementary notes to Financial Statements ending Supplementary notes initial part These financial statements, submitted for your approval, reflect the accounting entries and show a profit of Euro Business COLLESANTO S.r.l. is a company that is established and resident in Italy and whose purpose is the identification, development, financing, designing, construction and operating of photovoltaic plants in Italy (each plant having an approximate power of between 500 and Kwp), and the sale of electricity. In 2011, in order to finance its investments, the company entered into two Sale and Lease back contracts with Leasint S.p.A., transferring the built plants to Leasint S.p.A and acquiring them under a financial lease. Preparation criteria These notes are an integrating part of the Financial Statements ending 31/12/2015. The Financial Statements have been prepared in short-form since the limits provided for by article 2435-bis of the Italian Civil Code were not exceeded over two consecutive years. No annual report has therefore been prepared. It should be noted that the financial statements as of 31/12/2014 were not prepared in short-form and therefore did come with an annual report. For the sake of completion it should further be noted that pursuant to article 2248 points 3) and 4) of the Italian Civil Code the company owns no treasury shares or shares/quotas in parent companies not even indirectly through trust companies and that no treasury shares or shares/quotas in parent companies have been purchased and/or sold by the company during the year, not even through trust companies or through intermediaries. Drafting of Financial Statements The information contained in this document is presented in the order in which the lines items are shown on the Balance sheet and Income statement. There have been no special cases requiring the exceptions provided for by paragraph 4 of article 2423 and by paragraph 2 of article bis of the Italian Civil Code. The Financial Statements and these Notes are in Euros in accordance with the requirements of the Italian Civil Code. Drafting principles The principles adopted in drafting the financial statements comply with existing legislative requirements, integrated with and interpreted by the Accounting Principles of the National Board of Chartered Accountants, as reviewed and updated by the Italian Accounting Body (Organismo Italiano di Contabilità) (OIC) and by the interpretation documents issued by it; such measurement criteria are not different to the ones used in the preparation of these financial statements. The accounting principles listed below have been adjusted to reflect the changes and integrations introduced within the scope of the 2014 updating of the National Accounting Principles, definitively approved and published by the OIC on 5 August 2014 (except for OIC 24 which was approved on 28 January 2015). Specifically, compared to earlier versions, the following accounting principles have been revised: OIC 9 Write-downs for long-lasting value losses of tangible and intangible fixed assets OIC 10 Financial reporting OIC 12 Financial statements composition and tables/schedules OIC 13 Inventories OIC 14 Cash and cash equivalents OIC 15 Receivables OIC 16 Tangible fixed assets OIC 17 Consolidated financial statements and the equity method OIC 18 Accruals, prepaid expenses and deferred income OIC 19 Payables OIC 20 Debt securities OIC 21 Investments and treasury shares 173

174 OIC 22 Memorandum accounts OIC 23 Work in progress OIC 24 Intangible fixed assets OIC 25 Income taxes OIC 26 Foreign currency transactions, assets and liabilities, OIC 28 Net equity OIC 29 Changes to accounting principles, accounting estimates, error corrections, extraordinary events and business, events occurring after the reporting period. OIC 31 Provisions for liabilities and charges and end of service severance. All other principles have remained unchanged. Structure and content of the draft Financial Statements The balance sheet, income statement and the accounting information contained in these notes comply with the accounting entries from which they have been directly inferred. Valuation criteria The valuation of financial statement line items has been carried out according to general principles of prudence, accrual basis of accounting and the concept of a going concern. For the purpose of accounting posting, prevalence is given to the economic substance of transactions rather than to their legal form. Income is only recognised if realised within the end of the financial period, whilst risks and losses are taken into account even if only subsequently known. Individual line items do not include any heterogeneous elements; assets that are destined to be used over a long time are classified as fixed assets. Specifically, valuation criteria used in drafting the financial statements are addressed in the rest of these notes. Other information Information on company performance No significant facts occurred during the course of the year. Valuation of foreign currency accounts As of the end of the reporting period the company has no foreign currency denominated receivables or payables. Transactions with pre-established repurchase obligations In the year the company has not entered into any transactions having pre-established repurchase obligations. 174

175 Supplementary notes on Assets Assets on the Balance Sheet are valued in accordance with article 2426 of the Italian Civil Code and in compliance with national accounting principles. Specific valuation criteria are further addressed for different line items. Intangible fixed assets These are booked at purchase cost and adjusted by their corresponding amortisation accounts. If, regardless of accumulated amortisation, a long-lasting value loss exists, the fixed asset is written-down. The amortisation criteria is applied to intangible fixed assets systematically every year in relation to the residual possibility of economic use of each asset or expense. Introduction Description Value as of Value as of Changes Intangible fixed assets (7.822) Total (7.822) Analysis of Intangible fixed assets Description Gross amount Amortisation Amortisation account Balance as of Plant maintenance expenses Total As of the end of the financial year, maintenance expenses for photovoltaic plants operated under lease agreements and booked as Intangible fixed assets amount to, net of amortisation, Euro Tangible fixed assets Tangible fixed assets are shown at purchase cost, including any accessory expenses, or at their production cost, and are adjusted by their corresponding depreciation accounts. Depreciation expense, recorded on the income statement, is calculated taking into account the economic-technical use, purpose and life of each asset, based on criteria of residual possibility of use which criteria are deemed to be well represented by the following depreciation rates, which are unchanged from the previous year. Tangible fixed assets Specific plants 10% Depreciation rate If, regardless of accumulated depreciation, a long-lasting loss of value exists, the fixed asset is written-down accordingly. If, in subsequent years, the reasons underlying any write-downs should no longer exist, the original value adjusted only for depreciation - is restored. 175

Financial lease operations Information on financial lease operations The national lawmaker requires that accounting disclosure of financial lease agreements be made according to the equity method, with lease payments booked among annual costs: this accounting method for financial lease operations does not enable full application of the principle whereby economic substance should prevail over legal form. For reasons of transparency we disclose here below the information on the effects of applying the financial method in compliance with article 2427, n 22 of the Italian Civil Code.

195 Supplementary notes to Financial Statements ending Supplementary notes initial part These financial statements, submitted for your approval, reflect the accounting entries and show a profit of Euro Business As you know well your company carries out business in the production and sale of renewable energy, specifically solar energy. Preparation criteria These notes are an integrating part of the Financial Statements ending 31/12/2015. The Financial Statements have been prepared in short-form since the limits provided for by article 2435-bis of the Italian Civil Code were not exceeded over two consecutive years. No annual report has therefore been prepared. For the sake of completion it should further be noted that pursuant to article 2248 points 3) and 4) of the Italian Civil Code the company owns no treasury shares or shares/quotas in parent companies not even indirectly through trust companies and that no treasury shares or shares/quotas in parent companies have been purchased and/or sold by the company during the year, not even through trust companies or through intermediaries. Drafting of Financial Statements The information contained in this document is presented in the order in which the lines items are shown on the Balance sheet and Income statement. There have been no special cases requiring the exceptions provided for by paragraph 4 of article 2423 and by paragraph 2 of article bis of the Italian Civil Code. The Financial Statements and these Notes are in Euros in accordance with the requirements of the Italian Civil Code. Drafting principles The principles adopted in drafting the financial statements comply with criteria provided by the Italian Civil Code under existing legislative requirements, integrated with and interpreted by the Accounting Principles of the National Board of Chartered Accountants, as reviewed and updated by the Italian Accounting Body (Organismo Italiano di Contabilità) (OIC) and by the interpretation documents issued by it; such measurement criteria are not different to the ones used in the preparation of these financial statements. The accounting principles listed below have been adjusted to reflect the changes and integrations introduced within the scope of the 2014 updating of the National Accounting Principles, definitively approved and published by the OIC on 5 August 2014 (except for OIC 24 which was approved on 28 January 2015). Specifically, compared to earlier versions, the following accounting principles have been revised: OIC 9 Write-downs for long-lasting value losses of tangible and intangible fixed assets OIC 10 Financial reporting OIC 12 Financial statements composition and tables/schedules OIC 13 Inventories OIC 14 Cash and cash equivalents OIC 15 Receivables OIC 16 Tangible fixed assets OIC 17 Consolidated financial statements and the equity method OIC 18 Accruals, prepaid expenses and deferred income OIC 19 Payables OIC 20 Debt securities OIC 21 Investments and treasury shares OIC 22 Memorandum accounts OIC 23 Work in progress OIC 24 Intangible fixed assets 195

196 OIC 25 Income taxes OIC 26 Foreign currency transactions, assets and liabilities, OIC 28 Net equity OIC 29 Changes to accounting principles, accounting estimates, error corrections, extraordinary events and business, events occurring after the reporting period. OIC 31 Provisions for liabilities and charges and end of service severance. All other principles have remained unchanged. Structure and content of the draft Financial Statements The balance sheet, income statement and the accounting information contained in these notes comply with the accounting entries from which they have been directly inferred. Valuation criteria The valuation of financial statement line items has been carried out according to general principles of prudence, accrual basis of accounting and the concept of a going concern. For the purpose of accounting posting, prevalence is given to the economic substance of transactions rather than to their legal form. Income is only recognised if realised within the end of the financial period, whilst risks and losses are taken into account even if only subsequently known. Individual line items do not include any heterogeneous elements; assets that are destined to be used over a long time are classified as fixed assets. Specifically, valuation criteria used in drafting the financial statements are addressed in the rest of these notes. Other information Information on company performance No significant facts occurred during the course of the year. Valuation of foreign currency accounts As of the end of the reporting period the company has no foreign currency denominated receivables or payables. Transactions with pre-established repurchase obligations In the year the company has not entered into any transactions having pre-established repurchase obligations. 196

197 Supplementary notes on Assets Assets on the Balance Sheet are valued in accordance with article 2426 of the Italian Civil Code and in compliance with national accounting principles. Specific valuation criteria are further addressed for different line items. Intangible fixed assets These are booked at purchase cost and adjusted by their corresponding amortisation accounts. If, regardless of accumulated amortisation, a long-lasting value loss exists, the fixed asset is written-down. The amortisation criteria is applied to intangible fixed assets systematically every year in relation to the residual possibility of economic use of each asset or expense.

Tangible fixed assets Tangible fixed assets are shown at purchase cost, including any accessory expenses, or at their production cost, and are adjusted by their corresponding depreciation accounts. Depreciation expense, recorded on the income statement, is calculated taking into account the economic-technical use, purpose and life of each asset, based on criteria of residual possibility of use which criteria are deemed to be well represented by the following depreciation rates, which are unchanged from the previous year. Tangible fixed assets Depreciation rate 197
