level debt portfolio including the new bonds are 3.25 percent and 3.5 years

portfolio is generating solid long-term cash flows and we are pleased to see
continued strong support from our relationship banks and the bond market. We
have furthermore strengthened our balance sheet through the recently announced
asset sale in South Africa and a revised dividend policy. We will remain
disciplined in our approach to new investments and continue to see attractive
growth opportunities in our focus markets," says Scatec CEO Terje Pilskog.
