In accordance with Article 23 of the EU Prospectus Regulation, significant new factors, material mistakes or material inaccuracies relating to the information included in this Prospectus, which may affect the assessment of the Shares and which arises or is noted between the time when the Prospectus is approved by the NFSA and the Listing of the Private Placement Shares on the Oslo Stock Exchange, will be mentioned in a supplement to this Prospectus without undue delay. Neither the publication nor distribution of this Prospectus shall under any circumstances imply that there has been no change in the Group's affairs or that the information herein is correct of any date subsequent to the date of this Prospectus.

No person is authorised to give information or to make any representation concerning the Group the Listing other than as contained in this Prospectus. If any such information is given or made, it must not be relied upon as having been authorised by the Company or by any of the affiliates, representatives, or advisors.

No Shares or any other securities are being offered or sold in any jurisdiction pursuant to this Prospectus. The distribution of this Prospectus in certain jurisdictions may be restricted by law. The Prospectus does not constitute an offer of, or an invitation to purchase, subscribe or sell any of the Shares in any jurisdiction, including in any jurisdiction in which such offer, subscription or sale would be unlawful. No one has taken any action that would permit a public offering of the Shares. Accordingly, neither this Prospectus nor any advertisement may be distributed or published in any jurisdiction except under circumstances that will result in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Persons in possession of the Prospectus are required to inform themselves about and to observe any applicable restrictions. In addition, the Shares are subject to restrictions on transferability and resale and may not be transferred or resold except as permitted under applicable securities laws and regulations. Investors should be aware that they may be required to bear the financial risks of this investment for an indefinite period of time. Any failure to comply with these restrictions may constitute a violation of applicable securities laws.

The securities of the Company have not been, and will not be, registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), or with any securities regulatory authority of any state or jurisdiction of the United States or under the securities laws or with any securities regulatory authority of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States.

All Sections of the Prospectus should be read in context with the information included in Section 4 (General information).

ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

The Company is a public limited liability company incorporated under the laws of Norway. As a result, the rights of the shareholders in the Company (the "Shareholders") will be governed by Norwegian law and the Company's articles of association (the "Articles of Association" or the "Articles"). The rights of shareholders under Norwegian law may differ from the rights of shareholders of companies incorporated in other jurisdictions.

The members of the Company's board of directors (the "Board Members" and the "Board of Directors", respectively) and the members of the management of the Company (the "Management") are not residents of the United States, and none of the Company's assets are located within the U.S. As a result, it may be impossible or difficult for investors in the U.S. to effect service of process on the Company, the Board Members and the Management in the U.S. or to enforce judgments obtained in U.S. courts against the Company or those persons, whether predicated upon civil liability provisions of federal securities laws or other laws of the U.S. (including any State or territory within the U.S.).

The U.S. and Norway do not currently have a treaty providing for reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgements (other than arbitral awards) in civil and commercial matters. Uncertainty exists as to whether courts in Norway will enforce judgments obtained in other jurisdictions, including the U.S., against the Company or its Board Members or the Management under the securities laws of those jurisdictions or entertain actions in Norway against the Company or its Board Members or the Management under the securities laws of other jurisdictions. In addition, awards of punitive damages in actions brought in the U.S. or elsewhere may not be enforceable in Norway.

Similar restrictions may apply in other jurisdictions.

The unaudited pro forma condensed financial information included in Section 11 and Appendix B-1 to this Prospectus is presented for illustrative purposes only and does not purport to represent what the Company's actual financial statements would have been if each of the transactions occurred on the relevant dates. The unaudited pro forma condensed financial information does not include all of the information required for financial statement prepared in accordance with IFRS and the unaudited pro forma condensed financial information should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements for the financial years ended 31 December 2021, 31 December 2020 and 31 December 2019.

What are the key risks that are specific to the issuer?

nominal value

Material
risk
factors
1. In October 2022, the Norwegian authorities proposed a new tax regime for
Norwegian land-based wind farms and hydropower plants. If resolved, the new tax
rules will have a material adverse effect on the asset value of certain of the Group's
assets and reduce the expected cash flows from certain of the Group's power
2. producing assets.
The major part of the Company's revenue comes from sale of electricity which is
exposed to fluctuations in the market. Further, the revenues from the Group's
power plants are dependent on metrological conditions, which can vary materially
from season to season and from year to year.
3. Several of the Group's projects under development are subject to various
governmental concessions and approvals and may not be realized.
4. The Group has over the last two years made a number of acquisitions and expects
to continue to have an active M&A strategy. The Group may not be able to identify
potential acquisitions targets and successfully integrate the acquired businesses.
5. The Group may not be able to complete the preparatory steps related to the
Stenkalles Vind project, which is under development, on favourable terms, which
ultimately may lead to that the project will not be realized.
6. To operate its business the Group relies on subcontractors for construction,
operation, maintenance etc. Failure by the subcontractors may lead to additional
costs for the Group.
7. In order to continue to grow its business the Group is dependent on external
financing on a timely basis and on attractive terms. In case the Group needs to
raise further equity, this may have a dilutive effect on the existing shareholders.

Company's dividend policy is that the Company does not expect to pay any dividend in the
short to medium term as the Company intends to use its profit for both organic and
acquisitions related growth initiatives. The Company's long-term objective is to pay
Shareholders consistent and growing cash dividends. Over time, the intention is to pay its
Shareholders dividends representing 30 – 50% of free cash distributed from the producing
power plant companies. However, there can be no assurance that in any given year a
dividend will be proposed or declared, or if proposed or declared, that the dividend will be
as contemplated by the policy.

2 RISK FACTORS

Investing in the Shares involves a high degree of risk. An investor should consider carefully the risks and uncertainties described below, together with all of the other information in this Prospectus before deciding whether to invest in the Shares. The risks and uncertainties described in this Section 2 (Risk factors) are the material known risks and uncertainties faced by the Group as of the date hereof that the Company believes are the material risks relevant to an investment in the Shares.

If any of the risks were to materialise, individually or together with other circumstances, it could have a material and adverse effect on the Group and/or its business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and/or prospects, which may cause a decline in the value of the Shares that could result in a loss of all or part of any investment in the Shares.

The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only risks the Group may face. Additional risks and uncertainties that the Company currently believes are immaterial, or that are currently not known to the Company, may also have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.

The order in which the risks are presented below is not intended to provide an indication of the likelihood of their occurrence nor of their severity or significance.

The risk factors described in this Section 2 are sorted into five categories:

    1. Market related risks
    1. Commercial and operational risks
    1. Specific risks related to the Group's projects
    1. Financial risks
    1. Risks related to the Shares

The Company has sought to place each individual risk factor in the most appropriate category based on the nature of the risk it represents. The list of risk factors should not be perceived as a ranking of importance, and it is not exhaustive. The risks mentioned herein could materialise individually or cumulatively.

The information in this Section 2 is as of the date of this Prospectus.

2.1 Market related risks

Political risk

The Group is engaged in the production and sale of renewable electrical power. The power industry is highly regulated, and regulations may change over time. If the governments or international community were to withdraw, reduce or change support for the use of energy from renewable sources, including generation of electricity wind farms and hydropower plants, for whatever reason, this may have a material adverse effect on the support of national or international authorities in respect of the promotion of the use of energy from such renewable sources. This may reduce the demand for the power produced by the Group's wind and hydro power assets compared to power produced by other sources. Further, governmental promotion for increased use of other energy sources than wind or hydro power may reduce the value of the Group's assets.

A number of broader regulatory changes to the electricity market, such as changes to integration of transmission allocation, changes to energy trading, potential caps on energy prices and transmission charging, are being implemented or evaluated across Europe. These changes may have an impact on the electricity prices and the costs of selling electrical power, which may reduce the Group's profitability.

The Group also has several projects under development, which require support from local and/or national authorities. Changes in the political landscape may lead to that certain of the Group's projects under development must be abandoned due to lack of political support or regulatory changes which result in that the projects no longer are expected to meet the Group's minimum profitability requirements.

In addition, the Group's business may be exposed to new risks as a result of broadened or increased sustainability requirements. As an example, when the Taxonomy Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2020/852) is implemented into Norwegian law, the Company will be obliged to publicly disclose its alignment with such framework. Should the Group not meet the expected level of alignment of the investors this could adversely impact the public perception of the Group. Further, should the Group's existing or new project no longer be labelled as green, the capital costs of such projects may increase.

Further, the Group is subject to political risk related to the taxation of sale of electrical power, as further described in Section 2.4.2 (Risks related to changes in taxation and public fees) below.

Risks related to the development of the spot rates for electricity

The profitability of the Group's producing power plants depends on the volume and prices of the electricity produced. The majority of the Group's sale will be exposed to price risk related to electricity sold at spot rates. The Group's production volume is sold in the spot market and consequently exposed to fluctuations in the market prices for electricity, unless new fixed terms agreements are entered into.

Electricity prices are inter alia dependent on substitute or adjacent commodity prices such as e.g. oil, gas and coal prices, but also dependent on metrological conditions, CO2 pricing and other supply and demand factors going into the clearing of the market price of electricity.

Further, massive climate goal subsidy schemes may put downward pressure on revenues (i.e. electricity prices) of non-subsidised existing assets. Cloudberry considers subsidised offshore wind power as the most likely threat.

As sale of electricity constitutes a material share of the Group's revenues, the price risks related to electricity prices could result in reduced revenue and profitability for the Group and also reduce the fair market value of the Group's assets.

Risks related to the development of the renewable sector

Unexpected success in other areas of renewable energy may reduce the pressure on the authorities to allow for development of wind parks and hydropower plants. This may affect the Group's future investment opportunities and reduce the second-hand value of its power plants. The same may also hold true for non-renewable or currently unknown energy technologies. The uncertainties associated with the development of the renewable sector, as well as the emergence of other technologies, are factors which could adversely affect the Group's business and growth opportunities.

2.2 Commercial and operational risks

Risks related to the Group's ability to realise its development projects

Several of the Group's projects are under development and may not be realised. The right to build and operate a renewable project is subject to public concessions and permits in addition to private ownership rights to land and waterfalls. This comprises all stages of a renewable project, from early development stage to construction, production, transmission and sale of power. The necessary concessions and permits will depend on size and type of project, classification, development stage of the projects and jurisdiction. In addition to the energy/production related concessions and permits other permits, licenses and regulatory requirements are also applicable, such as licenses related to safety, pollution, noise, etc.

The Group is required to obtain various governmental concessions and approvals for each of its projects, including inter alia construction concessions, grid concessions and sales concessions. As of the date hereof, all permits and licenses have been obtained for the assets that are in production and all relevant concessions and permits for the projects under construction. Completion permissions, concession for sale of power, etc. are not yet in place due to the stage of the construction work.

Following public and political hearings throughout 2019/2020, the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate ("NVE") are likely to be working from a revised and more conservative framework when considering permits for new power production projects, which may include new criteria for award, local production fee/tax requirements and/or other new regulatory initiatives. Currently, a temporary pause in the award of new on-shore wind permits has been effected, awaiting the finalisation and approval of an updated and more stringent award framework for new permits.

For greenfield projects that are not under construction and/or in operation, the Group will need to obtain necessary concessions, permits and contracts with landowners.

Whether the projects will be profitable depends on several factors outside the Group's control. Before construction of any projects commence, the Group will make an assessment of whether it is expected that the project will be profitable. If a project does not move to the construction phase, the development costs will not be recoverable. For several projects, the granted concessions include deadlines for initiation of the construction phase. If the deadlines are not met, the concessions will lapse. In such case, the Group must write down the investment made in the relevant project.

Risks related to acquisitions

The Group was created in 2020 through a business combination of three separate businesses. During 2020, 2021 and 2022 the Group has had an active mergers and acquisition strategy. Making acquisitions will continue to be an important part of the Group's strategy to support growth and profitability.

Successful growth through acquisitions is dependent upon the Group's ability to identify suitable acquisition targets, conduct appropriate due diligence, negotiate transactions on favourable terms, obtain required licenses and authorisations and ultimately complete such acquisitions and integrate acquired entities into the Group. If the Group makes acquisitions, it may be unable to generate expected margins or cash flows, or realise the anticipated benefits of such acquisitions, including growth or expected synergies. The Group's assessment of and assumptions regarding acquisition targets could prove to be incorrect, and actual developments may differ significantly from expectations. The Group may not be able to integrate acquisitions successfully and such integration may require greater investment than anticipated, and the Group could incur or assume unknown or unanticipated liabilities or contingencies with respect to customers, employees, government authorities or other parties. The process of integrating acquisitions may also be disruptive to the Group's operations, as a result of, among other things unforeseen legal, regulatory, contractual and other issues and difficulties in realising operating synergies, which could cause the Group's results of operations to decline. Moreover, any acquisition may divert management's attention from day-to-day business and may result in the incurrence of additional debt. Should any of the above occur in connection with an acquisition, there could be a material adverse effect on the Group's profitability, business and prospects.

Risk related to physical trading of electricity for Kraftanmelding (a smaller Cloudberry subsidiary)

Kraftanmelding offers forecasting, reporting, market access and settlement of power production for its customers. On the day-ahead market, contractual orders for the delivery of electricity the following day is made between buyers and sellers through the Nord Pool day-ahead trading system. When these power contracts are physically delivered, i.e. when electricity is provided to the buyer, in accordance with the purchase orders there is a risk of a mismatch occurring in the trade between the registered volume of electricity available and the actual volume of electricity in the trading hour. Such mismatch is referred to as an imbalance. For approximately 85% of the total volume Kraftanmelding sells on behalf of its customers, the customers bear the risk of the imbalance result. For the remaining 15% of the volume, Kraftanmelding assumes the risk of the balance settlement on behalf of the customer(s). If the hourly volumes are over or underestimated, Kraftanmelding will consequently bear the economic risk. This can lead to gain or losses depending on the actual market price of power versus the agreed settlement price.

Risk related to volume of production

The Group has entered into two power purchase agreements, covering the sale of a fixed amount of power to be produced by Bøen and Røyrmyra. Should the power production of these plants be lower than the volume sold, the Group will be forced to purchase the deficit energy to be delivered in the spot market. To the extent the spot price is higher than the fixed price, the Group will incur a loss on the power purchase agreements, which depending on the spot price, may be significant. The power purchase agreements cover approximately 12% of the Group's current estimated aggregate annual production in the relevant price area.

Risks related to the war in Ukraine

The Russian invasion of Ukraine has resulted in severe implications on inter alia global trade, global markets, energy prices and commodity prices. It is highly uncertain how the conflict will continue to have an impact on the global economy.

For Cloudberry's business, the mid- and long-term consequences are still uncertain. Higher commodity and transportation costs may result in that one or more of the Group's projects under development will not be sufficiently profitable due to increased construction costs. Should the Group choose abandon projects under development, the investments made related to such projects may have to be written off.

Further, Cloudberry has several projects under construction. As certain of the construction contracts are not fixed-price contracts, Cloudberry bears the risk of increased prices. Consequently, the construction costs will be affected by the high volatility in commodity prices and transportation costs. Higher commodity prices and logistic challenges will lead to higher capex costs and potentially lower profitability for Cloudberry's projects going forward.

Risks related to the Group's capital expenditure, financing costs and cost estimates for development and construction projects

The estimated capital expenditures, financing costs and costs for the Group's development and construction projects are based on the Group's best assessment and are subject to final negotiations and agreements with suppliers, financial institutions and contractors. Before the Group spends time and resources on negotiations with relevant stakeholders, the Group makes an assessment of whether or not they expect a project to be profitable. However, should the actual capital expenditures, financing costs and costs for such projects deviate from the Group's best estimates, projects which were expected to be profitable may turn out to be non-profitable. If the actual capital expenditures, financing costs and other costs are higher than estimated, projects may be abandoned, which may force the Group to write off parts of or the entire investments made in such projects. Further, should the capital expenditure's increase above the Group's best assessment, the relevant projects may require additional financing to be fully financed.

Risk related to metrological conditions which impacts the Group's revenue from power plants

Cloudberry's power producing assets are located and built based on comprehensive historical metrological assessments in order to optimise their power production capability. However, metrological conditions (rain and wind) at particular sites at which the Group's power plants are located can vary materially from season to season and from year to year and may also change over time. If a site proves to have lower resources than anticipated in the Group's business model or suffers a sustained decline in metrological conditions, such power plants are likely to generate lower electricity volumes and lower revenue than anticipated. This will reduce the Group's revenue and may also result in that the Group must write down the value of the relevant assets.

Risks related to the financial models used by the Group in relation to investment decisions

There may be errors in the assumptions or methodology used in the financial models used by the Group in relation to its decisions to acquire or develop renewable energy assets, whether as part of the Group's current portfolio or subsequent acquisitions or investments. This may result in the returns generated by such projects being materially lower than expected. Although the Group has more than 10 years of experience with development of renewable energy assets, the Group has only been engaged in acquisition of turn-key projects or assets under production for a few years. This is relatively short time compared to many of its more established competitors. The financial models of the Group are constantly being developed and refined based on the experience gained by the Group. Further, given the lean organisation of the Group, there are only a few persons who review and provide input to the financial models used in relation to business decisions. These factors increase the risk of errors in the assumption or methodology used in the financial models used by the Group compared to other more established players in the market. Further, the Group will develop, own, operate and make investments in assets and projects which are illiquid. The realisation of such assets may take time and there can be no assurances that the Group will be able to sell its assets or realise its projects as planned. This could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, operating results, financing condition and prospects.

Risks related to the operation of the Group's power plants

Investments in power generation and energy-related infrastructure involve technical and operational risks. The Group will seek to invest in power plants of expected good technical standard to reduce the technical risk of the investment. The Group will prioritise technical solutions that are well-proven and delivered by reputable suppliers, so that any repairs can be made within reasonable timeframes and at reasonable cost, and that it is possible with attractive insurance terms. Despite the aim of choosing sound solutions, technical problems may occur meaning possible stops in production or costly reinvestments that reduce the Group's revenue, profitability and/or financial position.

Risks related to personnel injuries (HSE incidents)

Work in the energy sector is dangerous, particularly for personnel which are engaged in construction, operation, maintenance and repair of the Group's new and existing power plants, and work-related accidents occur from time to time. The Group's wind turbines may also be subject to ice throw indictments, which may cause damage to persons in close proximity to the turbines. Accidents and incidents may further result in operational stoppages. Accidents and unwanted incidents may lead to financial damages and reputational damages to the Group and could have adverse effects on the Group's business, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition and prospects.

Risks related to costs of transmission and distribution of electricity

Increases in charges relating to the connection to and use of the electricity transmission and distribution networks and relating to balancing of electricity supply and demand, and/or restrictions on the capacity in such networks available for use by the Group's power plants, may result in higher operating costs, lower revenues and fewer growth opportunities for the Group.

Risks related to the Group's dependency on agreements with landowners to develop future projects

Subsequent decisions by the Group to develop renewable energy assets are subject to reaching an agreement with the landowners of the contemplated properties for development. Consequently, the ability to develop further power plants is subject to negotiations with the landowners and thus the Group's revenues and costs are subject to the inherent risk thereof.

Risks related to disputes and litigation

Renewable projects are often large and complex, and their construction, operation and maintenance will normally require goods and services to be provided from several parties. During all phases, issues may occur as a result of, inter alia, delays in delivery, defect parts and materials or accidents. Cloudberry has traditionally favoured multi-contract arrangements rather than turnkey contracts for its projects. Multi-contract arrangements involved a higher risk for the project owner, who normally assumes the risk for the interface between the different suppliers to the project. This contract strategy increases the risk of litigation and that members of the Group becoming subject to legal disputes. Whether or not the member of the Group ultimately prevails, legal disputes are costly and can divert management's attention from the Group's business. In addition, the relevant member of the Group may decide to settle a legal dispute, which could cause the Group to incur significant costs. An unfavourable outcome of any legal dispute could inter alia imply that the relevant member of the Group becomes liable for damages, payments or will not be able to realise some of its projects. A settlement or an unfavourable outcome in a legal dispute could have adverse effects on the Group's business, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition and prospects.

Risks related to dependency of external contractors

Historically, the Group has not had in-house expertise required to construct, operate and maintain its power plants. Although the Group has acquired some in-house capacity as part of the acquisition of the Captiva Group, the Group will still continue to use external suppliers for construction, operation and maintenance of its power plants.

The contracts governing the operation and maintenance of wind farms are generally negotiated and entered into with turbine suppliers at the same time as the construction contracts for such wind farms. Operation and maintenance contracts typically have a term from 5 to 15 years for the Group's wind assets.

Hydro power plants do not tend to have long term operation and maintenance contracts with the turbine suppliers or the suppliers of principal components but tend to have shorter term contracts with local utility partners.

Upon expiry of an operation and maintenance contract or their earlier termination (in the event of, for example, contractor insolvency or default), there is no assurance that replacement or renewal contracts can be negotiated on similar terms and less favourable terms could result in increased operation and maintenance costs and reduced profitability for the Group. Where the Group will be required to appoint a replacement contractor, there is a further risk that finding a suitable contractor may take time, which could potentially lead to downtime for the relevant power producing asset.

The Group is further exposed to cost overruns on maintenance and/or reconstruction projects and/or construction projects, for example as a result of changes in plans or additional work that becomes necessary over and above what was included in the initial agreement with the subcontractor. In addition, the Group's costs may also increase as a result of failure by its subcontractors which is not recoverable from such subcontractor, for example in case of contractor insolvency.

Risks related to interruptions in the supply chain

Cloudberry's projects under development and construction are dependent on supplies of machinery and equipment from third party suppliers. Further, Cloudberry's assets in operation require supply of parts for repair and maintenance. In order for the supply chain to work efficiently, it is a precondition that open and integrated markets function efficiently. As the global market is put under pressure, inter alia as a result of increased global instability, ongoing climate changes and shortage of raw materials, the risk of supply chain disruptions are increasing. A disruption in the supply chain may cause that Cloudberry does not receive required parts or materials in time.

Due to the fact that Cloudberry is a relatively small player in the market, there is a risk that supply chain disruptions will impact Cloudberry disproportionately, as smaller players may receive less attention and be lower prioritised compared to its larger competitors by the suppliers. This increases the risk of delays in project under development and construction and increase the risk of operational down time of the Group's power producing assets. Should these risks materialise, it may have adverse effects on the Group's business, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition and prospects.

Risk related to the outbreaks and Covid-19

Cloudberry has experienced some adverse impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic, such as travel and entry restrictions, absence due to lockdowns and mandatory quarantine. More specifically, this has caused increased case handling time for governmental approvals of Cloudberry's projects or disruptions in Cloudberry's supply chain as a result of delayed deliveries from suppliers.

While most Covid-19 related public health measures has been lifted at the date of this Prospectus in Cloudberry's main markets, new variants of the virus may emerge and the future developments of the Covid-19 pandemic and the public-health measures adopted as reactions to such developments, may result in delays and/or increased costs in Cloudberry's construction and development projects as a result of the pandemic. Increased costs may result in that development projects become unprofitable and cannot be realised. Any such consequences may also affect the Group's ability to raise capital or secure financing. Delays in the completion of the Group's projects may also result in that the Group's portfolio companies defaults on its obligations towards its customers. Such breaches may result in claims for remedies of breach and rights to termination of the contracts and have a material adverse effect on the Group.

Potential losses as a result of increased costs or delays may not be recoverable from the suppliers who may, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, trigger force majeure provisions under contracts.

2.3 Specific risks related to the Group's projects

Risks related to the Stenkalles Vind project

The Stenkalles Vind project, currently owned through a 50/50 joint venture with Hafslund Vekst AS, is a shallow water wind project in Lake Vänern under development. The current development plan includes 16 turbines with an estimated installed effect of 100 MW and an annual power production around 350 GWh. The project has been granted a project permit from the Swedish Land and Environmental Court (Sw: Mark- och miljödomstolen) and a construction license from the Swedish Mark-och Miljödomstolen. The project is located in fresh- and shallow-water and construction deadline is Q3 2024. No final investment decision has been made with regard to the project. Before an investment decision will be made, the Group must inter alia negotiate and conclude agreements related to construction, maintenance and operation of the plant and obtain financing for the project. There can be no guarantee that the Group will be able to complete these preparatory steps, or that if completed, the required agreements are entered into on favourable terms or in a timely manner to meet the deadlines set forth in the project timeline. Consequently, it cannot be guaranteed that the project will be realised.

Risks related to the Kafjärden project

On 28 January 2022, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire the Swedish late-stage development wind project Kafjärden outside Stockholm. The project is still under development. The project does already have parts of the infrastructure in place and there are currently on-going dialogues with the local authorities with respect to the possibility of newer and more efficient turbines. It is uncertain if and when the project will be realised. If the project is not realised the Company may have to write off the investments made in the project and pay the expected cost of the retirement.

Risks related to the Group's shares in Odal Vind AS

Cloudberry's budgets and business plan is based on an assumption that the investment in Odal Vind AS will generate a positive cash flow. The expected cash flows from Odal Vind AS will be significantly reduced should the tax proposal described in Section 2.4.2 (Risks related to changes in taxation and public fees) be resolved. Further, as a minority shareholder in Odal Vind AS, the Group is not in a position to control the business and operations of Odal Vind AS or Odal Vind AS' payment of dividends to its shareholders. It is therefore a risk that the Group's investment in Odal Vind AS will not generate the expected returns or cash flows.

Risks related to the Hån project

Hån wind farm is a 21 MW wind project located in Sweden. Due to limited grid capacity in the area the projected wind farm is located, the power produced must be exported and sold into Norway. The Group has been granted a concession to build and operate a 22 kV cable between Norway and Sweden and has also been granted a power export license from the Swedish authorities. At the date of this Prospectus, all turbines have been erected and initial full-scale testing of grid connection and turbines have initiated. The park is however still undergoing full-scale testing and there are still technical risks related to the park's performance under full scale operation. Until the park is fully operational, and testing has been completed, the Group's revenue from the park will be limited and there is a risk that delays in the completion may occur. If the park's performance is lower than expected when fully operational, the Group's revenue may be lower than expected and the fair market value of the park may be lower than estimated when the investment decision was made. In such case, the Group may have to write down the value of the investment.

Risks related to the Duvhällen project

Duvhällen wind farms is an in-house project where the Group has been granted a construction permit of 60 MW/165 GWh. However, due to limited power grid capacity, the project has only been granted a power grid capacity permit of 30 MW/82 GWh. The grid owner, Vattenfall, has completed an environmental impact assessment and filed for an increased power grid capacity permit with the relevant authorities to match the construction permit. A final investment decision for the project will not be made until an increased power grid capacity permit has been granted. If such permit is not granted, the project may not be realised and the Group may have to write off the investments made in the project.

Risks related to the Group's ownership in Forte Energy Norway AS

The Group owns 34% of the shares in Forte Energy Norway AS. As a minority shareholder in Forte Energy Norway AS, the Group will not be in position to control the business and operations of Forte Energy Norway AS or Forte Energy Norway AS' payment of dividends to its shareholders. It is therefore a risk that the Group's investment in Forte Energy Norway AS will not generate the expected returns or cash flows. In case Forte Energy Norway AS requires additional funding, the Group's ownership in Forte Energy Norway AS could be reduced, e.g. due to dilution as a result of share capital increases in Forte Energy Norway AS if the Group does not subscribe for its pro rata share or at all. If the Group's ownership in Forte Energy Norway AS is reduced to below 10% the Group's influence as a shareholder in Forte Energy Norway AS will be significantly limited. The shares in Forte Energy Norway AS are also subject to certain share transfer restrictions. If the Group should wish to sell all or parts of its shares in Forte Energy Norway AS, there is a risk that the share price could be negatively impacted by such transfer restrictions or that the Group will not be able to complete any such sale at all.

2.4 Financial risks

Risks related to inflation

Inflation may have an adverse impact on Group's projects under development. The Group's development projects are capital intensive and increasing commodity prices will result in higher capital expenditures to develop and construct the projects (i.e. due to higher construction costs and turbine costs). High inflation may carve out the value of the expected cash flows from the Group's development projects relative to the up-front investments. Further, high inflation is expected to lead to higher short and longterm interest rates, affecting the financial costs for the Group's development projects. These factors and uncertainties may result in lower expected profitability of projects under development and ultimately that projects under development are postponed or abandoned. For projects where financing has been secured, high inflation may increase the financing needs which may not be available, or which may result in dilution for the existing shareholders.

Risks related to changes in taxation and public fees

Norwegian wind farms have historically only been subject to ordinary taxation, including property tax where applicable. With effect from 1 July 2022, the Norwegian government implemented a production fee on power from wind farms at NOK 0.01/kWh (approx. 1 EUR/MWh). In October 2022 it was proposed that the production fee is increased to NOK 0.02/kWh (approx. 2 EUR/MWh). With respect to land-based wind farms (both existing and new) which are subject to license requirement and hydropower plants with an installed effect of minimum 1 MW, the Norwegian government has proposed to introduce a high price contribution tax on energy sold at a price above NOK 0.70/kWh at a rate of 23%, with effect from 1 January 2023. The high price contribution tax is not expected to be deductible in the calculation of corporate income tax or resource rent tax. Further, the Norwegian government has informed that they plan to introduce a resource rent tax and natural resource tax for land-based wind farms (both existing and new) which are subject to license requirement, with effect from 1 January 2023. The Norwegian government's plan is to publish a consultation paper during the autumn of 2022, and for the Parliament to resolve legislation relating to the new taxation during spring 2023. When the new taxes were announced, the market price of Cloudberry's shares immediately dropped by NOK 2.6 per share. The proposal has not yet been resolved by the Norwegian government. Should the proposal be implemented as proposed, it will have an adverse negative change on the cash flows from Odal Vind and the Group may be required to provide Odal Vind with additional equity which will reduce the funds available for new projects. Further, if the tax rates are increased or other elements of the proposal are amended compared to the current proposal, this may have a material adverse effect on the asset values of Cloudberry and the market price of Cloudberry's shares. The Company also expects that the new tax proposal will make it significantly more difficult for the Company to obtain financing for new projects, both because the tax proposal has a negative impact on the cash flows from such projects and because the new tax proposal has introduced significant uncertainty among investors with regard to the Norwegian taxation of renewable energy in general, which is expected to reduce the appetite for investment in renewable projects.

Risks related to the Group's debt financing

The Group has two credit facilities in Sparebank 1 SR Bank ASA, amounting to NOK 1,400 million, which may be increased with an additional NOK 500 million. The credit facilities are secured with inter alia a first priority pledge in 100% of the shares in Cloudberry Production AS and 100% of the shares of Cloudberry Develop AS and a first priority pledge in machinery and equipment, accounts receivables and inventory in Cloudberry Production AS.

As of the date of this Prospectus, the Group has a positive consolidated net financial indebtedness. However, as the Group draws on the credit facilities, the level of debt will increase. The Group's level of debt could have material consequences for the Group, including but not limited to (i) hindering the Group's ability to obtain additional financing or financing on favourable terms, (ii) increasing the Group's costs of borrowing as it becomes more leveraged and (iii) require the Group 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.

The Group's ability to service its debt will depend upon, amongst 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, or if the Group is unable to comply with the covenants in its financial arrangements 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, any of which could adversely impact the Group's results of operations, cash flow and financial condition. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Group will be able to affect any of these remedies on satisfactory terms, or at all. In such case the lender may force the sale of the pledged assets.

Risks related to the Group's dependency on external financing

Further expansion of the Group's business will require external financing. If the Group is not able to obtain required financing on a timely basis and on attractive terms this could result in lost business opportunities, shortened lifetime of current assets and/or that the Group is forced to realise its interest in certain projects.

Risks related to fluctuations in exchange rates

The Group presents its financial statements in NOK. However, Norwegian power companies sell the power through Nord Pool where EUR is the official trading currency. Electricity Certificates are traded in SEK. Further, the Group's investment in Odal Vind AS is exposed to EUR in its entirety. Consequently, the Group is exposed to currency risk. Any fluctuations in exchange rates between NOK, SEK and EUR could materially and adversely affect the Group's business, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition and/or prospects.

Additionally, the Group is also exposed to currency risk by having employees and operations in Sweden. Any fluctuations in exchange rates between NOK and SEK could materially and adversely affect the Group's business, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition and/or prospects. The Group may want to do business in other countries in the future, exposing the Group to additional currency risk. Should it choose to do so, any fluctuations in exchange rates between NOK and the relevant foreign currency could materially and adversely affect the Group's business, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition and/or prospects.

2.5 Risk related to the Shares

Risks related to the Company's ability to raise additional equity

The Company expects that it will need to raise additional equity funding to, among other things, fund its various projects, acquisitions and for other purposes. Such additional funding may not be available on favourable terms and/or on a timely basis, or at all. Failure to obtain this necessary capital when needed may force the Company to significantly curtail, delay, or discontinue some or all of its projects, acquisition opportunities and other development efforts. Moreover, the terms of any financing may adversely affect the holdings or the rights of the Company's shareholders.

Risks related to future issuances of financial instruments which will dilute existing shareholders

The Company's general meeting ("General Meeting") has resolved an equity incentive scheme which may cover up to 5% of the at any time outstanding shares in the Company. Currently, 10,700,000 warrants have been authorised or issued under the incentive scheme, with a strike price between NOK 11.10 and NOK 17.40 per share. Each warrant entitles the holder to subscribe for one ordinary share in the Company. If the participants of the equity incentive program exercise their rights under the incentive scheme, this will have a dilutive effect on the existing Shareholders.

Further, the Company seeks to have a board authorisation in place at all times, which will allow the Board to resolve to issue new shares on short notice to meet its obligations.

Depending on the structure of any future fund raising, existing Shareholders may not be able to purchase or subscribe for additional equity securities. If the Company raises additional funds by issuing additional shares or other equity securities, the relative holdings and voting interests and the financial interests of the Shareholders may be diluted.

Risks for shareholders whose Shares are registered in a nominee account

As of 7 December 2022, approximately 31.17% of the Company's Shares are registered on nominee accounts, which constitutes a significant number of the Shares. Beneficial owners of the Shares that are registered in a nominee account or otherwise through a nominee arrangement (such as brokers, dealers or other third parties) may not be able to vote for such shares unless their ownership is re-registered in their names in the VPS prior to any General Meeting. The Company cannot guarantee that beneficial owners of the Shares will receive the notice of any General Meeting in time to instruct their nominees to either effect a re-registration of the beneficial interests registered in the VPS or otherwise instruct the VPS Registrar to vote their Shares in the manner desired by such beneficial owners.

Transfer of the Shares is subject to restrictions under the securities laws of the United States and other jurisdictions

None of the Shares have been registered under the US Securities Act or any US state securities laws or any other jurisdiction outside of Norway and are not expected to be registered in the future. As such, the shares may not be offered or sold except pursuant to an exemption from, or in transactions not subject to, the registration requirements of the US Securities Act and other applicable securities laws. In addition, there is no assurances that shareholders residing or domiciled in the United States will be able to participate in future capital increases or rights offerings. Further, investors in the United States and other jurisdictions may have difficulty enforcing any judgment obtained in their local jurisdiction against the Company or its directors or executive officers in Norway.

Non-IFRS financial measures

To provide a better understanding of Cloudberry's performance, the Company has in this Prospectus presented a number of alternative performance measures ("APMs") as defined by the European Securities and Markets Authority ("ESMA") in the ESMA Guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures 2015/1057, APMs which the Company will apply when communicating with its investors. An APM is defined by ESMA guidelines as a financial measure of historical or future financial performance, financial position, or cash flows, other than a financial measure defined or specified in the relevant accounting rules (IFRS).

It is the Company's view that the APMs provides the investors relevant and specific operating figures which may enhance their understanding of the Group and its performance. APMs should not be considered as a substitute for or superior measures of performance in accordance with IFRS. APMs are calculated consistently over time and are based on financial data presented in accordance with IFRS and other operational data as described below. The Group uses the following financial APMs:

Measure Description Reason for including
Proportionate
reporting:
Proportionate reporting includes
Cloudberry's proportionate share of
the financials which are not fully
consolidated, or excluding the non
controlling interests of subsidiaries
held less than 100% on a line-by
line basis in the profit or loss
statement, and share of assets and
net debt. (In consolidated IFRS
reporting, associated companies
and joint ventures are consolidated
with equity method).
Proportionate reporting is actively used by
the management and the board to manage,
report and strategically align Cloudberry's
short and long-term business decisions.
Proportionate reporting does also make it
easier for investors and analysts to
analyse, compare and understand
Cloudberry's operational performance and
risks.
Revenue and profit between
segments are eliminated in the
consolidated IFRS figures, while in
proportionate segment reporting
these items are retained.
Proportionate interest-bearing debt
and net-interest bearing debt does
not include shareholder loans.
EBITDA: EBITDA is net earnings before
interest, tax, depreciation,
amortisation & impairments.
Shows performance regardless of capital
structure, tax situation or effects arising
from different depreciation methods.
Management believes the measurement
enables an evaluation of operating
performance.
EBIT: EBIT is net earnings before interest
and tax.
Shows performance regardless of capital
structure and tax situation. Management
believes the measurement enables an
evaluation of operating performance.
Net interest
bearing debt
(NIBD):
Net interest-bearing debt is
interest-bearing debt, less cash and
cash equivalents. IFRS 16 leasing
liabilities are not included in the net
interest-bearing debt.
For proportionate reporting, debt is
excluded shareholder loans.
Shows the interest-bearing debt position
of the company adjusted for the cash
position. Management believes the
measure provides an indicator of net
indebtedness and risk.
Equity ratio: Equity ratio equals total equity
divided by total assets
Shows the equity relative to the assets.
Management believes the measurement
enables an evaluation the financial
strength and an indicator of risk.

Further, the Group uses the following non-financial APMs:

Measure Description Reason for including
Power
Production:
Power delivered to the grid over the defined
time period (one year). Units are measured
in GWh.
Example
A typical 4 MW turbine produces 3,000
full-load hours during a year. 4 MW x
3,000 hours = 12,000 MWh or 12 GWh.
For illustration, according to the
International Energy Agency1
("IEA") the

5 DIVIDENDS AND DIVIDEND POLICY

5.1 Dividend policy

The Company's dividend policy is that the Company does not expect to pay any dividend in the short to medium term as the Company intends to use its profit for both organic and acquisitions related growth initiatives. The Company's long-term objective is to pay Shareholders consistent and growing cash dividends. Over time, the intention is to pay its Shareholders dividends representing 30 – 50% of free cash distributed from the producing power plant companies. However, there can be no assurance that in any given year a dividend will be proposed or declared, or if proposed or declared, that the dividend will be as contemplated by the 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 further described in Section 5.2 (Legal and contractual constraints on the distribution of dividends) below, as well as the Company's capital expenditure plans, financial condition, restrictions following from credit arrangements or other contractual arrangement and the ability to maintain appropriate financial flexibility to meet the Group's strategic plans.

The Company has not paid any dividends on its Shares since its incorporation.

5.2 Legal and contractual constraints on the distribution of dividends

In accordance with the Public Companies Act, when proposing and determining the dividend amount, the Board of Directors must take into account the (i) Company's capital requirements, including capital expenditure requirements, (ii) the Company's financial condition, (iii) general business conditions and (iv) any restrictions that its contractual arrangements in force at the time of the dividend may place on its ability to pay dividends and the maintenance of appropriate financial flexibility. With a few statutory limited exceptions, the amount of dividends paid may not exceed the amount recommended by the Board of Directors.

Dividends may be paid in cash or in some instances in kind. The Public Companies Act provides the following constraints on the distribution of dividends applicable to the Company:

  • Section 8-1 of the Public Companies Act regulates what may be distributed as dividend, and provides that the Company may distribute dividends only to the extent that the Company after said distribution still has net assets to cover (i) the share capital and (ii) other restricted equity (i.e. the reserve for unrealised gains and the reserve for valuation of differences). The Company's total nominal value of treasury shares which have been acquired for ownership or security, any receivables of the Company which are secured through a pledge over the Shares and the aggregate amount of credit and security which, pursuant to Sections 8-7 through to 8- 10 of the Public Companies Act fall within the limits of distributable equity are to 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 dividend 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 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.

The time when an entitlement to dividend arises depends in accordance with the Public Companies Act on the resolution passed by the General Meeting regarding issuance of new shares. Normally, a subscriber of new shares in a Norwegian public limited liability company will be entitled to dividends from the time when the relevant share capital increase is registered with the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises. There are no statutory limits in the Public Companies Act regarding lapse of dividend entitlement. However, subject to various exceptions, Norwegian law in general provides a limitation period of three years from the date 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 17 (Taxation).

There are no dividend restrictions in any of the loan agreements for Cloudberry or its subsidiaries.

5.3 Manner of dividend payment

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 Shareholders' bank accounts registered in the VPS or in lieu of such registered account, at the time when the Shareholder has provided the VPS Registrar with their bank account details.

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.

6 MARKET OVERVIEW

6.1 Introduction

An energy transition is ongoing: clean energy without greenhouse gas emissions is needed to address the climate challenge, meet the ambitions of the Paris Agreement, contribute to the UN Sustainable Development Goals as well as the European Green Deal. All of Europe is in the process of reducing carbon emissions in everything from households to industry. The most efficient way of getting emissions down globally is to reduce fossil fuelled electricity production from coal-, gas- and oil-fired power plants.1 The reason why this is efficient is because of the huge existing emissions from the sector today, and because there are commercially available alternatives to produce electricity through renewable sources, that is primarily by the means of hydropower, wind power or solar PV. Wind and solar power production have seen significant cost reductions over the last decade due to scaling and technological development. At the same time electricity from CO2-emitting fossil-fuelled plants have grown more expensive due to increased pricing of CO2.2 Hydropower has been commercially competitive all along, but rather naturally limited to certain mountainous regions where most economical potential is already built out or protected. However quite a few hydropower projects previously deemed un-economical are becoming competitive for buildout due to interconnectors to Europe, increase in long-term power price forecasts and their production profile that does not correlate to wind or solar.

Additionally, an efficient way of reducing emissions in other sectors is through further electrification, i.e. to electrify processes that use fossil fuels today such as replacing gas heating by heat pumps or petrol fuelled cars by electric vehicles. This ongoing electrification will further strengthen the demand for new renewable electricity.

Renewable hydro and wind energy resources in the Nordics offer local communities and continental Europe a more sustainable energy solution. The EU's Projects of Common Interest are key cross border infrastructure projects that link the energy systems between EU countries. Due to the interconnected electricity market, the new renewable production does not have to be located exactly where the outdated CO2-emitting power plants were. Cloudberry believes that an increased power interconnection capacity between the Nordics and Europe, will drive a sustained long-term increase in the demand for Nordic renewables and as such also the power prices.

After the Russian invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022, the European Union announced decisive steps to reduce its dependency on Russian oil and gas. About 40% of the gas used in the Union came from Russia3 , and in March 2022 EU announced the REPowerEU strategy with an aim to make Europe independent of Russian fossil fuels well before 20304. The plan is, among other aspects, to speed up the green energy transition and increasing investments in renewable energy.

6.2 The shift toward renewable energy

There is a strong regulatory, environmental and economic push for the shift towards renewable energy. After the Russian invasion of Ukraine, energy security and non-dependency of Russian gas added further pressure to shift the economies of especially Europe towards a renewable future. On October 2022 EIA

published its World Energy Outlook1 highlighting how Europe is in the midst of a global energy crisis as countries adjust to a rapture of Russia-Europe energy flows. Further the report concludes that policy responses are fast-tracking the emergence of a clean energy economy with faster deployment of renewables and efficiency improvements in the European Union. This will bring down EU natural gas and oil demand by 20% this decade, and coal demand by 50%, a push given additional urgency by the need to find new sources of economic and industrial advantage beyond Russian gas.

The ongoing energy transition in Europe is driven by multiple key drivers such as technology development, policies and regulations and last but not least, individuals, businesses, capital markets and society responding to climate change and environmental issues. These drivers are having an increasing impact on energy supply and demand, and ultimately power pricing.

Technology development impacts the European energy outlook, the pace of the energy transition and the supply and demand of renewable energy. The levelised cost of energy ("LCOE") for renewables, particularly wind and solar, have dropped significantly over the last ten years. Further improvement in renewables' LCOE will increase the competitiveness of renewables compared to fossil fuels. A price on carbon will also promote renewable investments and give an economical signal to polluters who can either reduce emissions or pay for it.2 Storage and battery technologies, both short-term and seasonal solutions, may also have a significant impact on the energy system. Storage in combination with renewable energy may lead to improved balance and offload the transmission system during peak demand periods. With the uncertain effects of the war in Ukraine on the energy markets in relation to energy security, and the subsequent phase-out of Russian gas, the need for both demand- and supply side flexibility as well as data driven integration of more production, Cloudberry sees a strengthened potential for Captiva and its data driven services and digital solutions across Europe. With further roll out of wind power across Europe, partly developed and financed by institutional investors, Cloudberry also see a further potential for a one-stop-shop on data driven technology-based operation and management services for Nordic renewables. Captiva's ability to provide a full scope basis with all activities necessary for asset owners, or module based to fit with and complement client organisation and in/outsourcing strategy, puts Captiva in an attractive position to capitalise on the growth.

The world's electricity production is expected to more than double with the share of electricity rising from 19% to 36% in the global energy mix over the next 30 years (DNV Energy Transition Outlook3 ), with solar and wind representing 69% of grid connected renewable electricity generation. With an 83% share of the electricity system in 2050, renewables are squeezing the fossil share of the overall energy mix to just below the 50% mark in 2050. Digital technology enabling smarter electricity use will increase energy efficiency. Digital technology is also expected to play an important role in balancing the energy system as more renewable and variable energy is connected to the grid. DNV concludes that in order to reach net-zero by 2050, leading regions and sectors will have to go much faster and OECD countries must reach net-zero by 2043 and negative thereafter.

The technology development within the electric mobility ecosystem is expected to impact the overall demand for electricity in general and clean electricity in particular. In the Road Traffic Information Council's (Nw.: Opplysingsrådet for veitrafikkens) statistic per September 20224 , it is informed that 93.4% of all cars sold in Norway for year to date per September 2022 were either electric or hybrid, with pure electric cars accounting for 77.8%. The rapid shift towards low emission vehicles is explained by growing restrictions on the use of fossil fuel cars combined with financial incentives. It is thus an

4 https://ofv.no/bilsalget/bilsalget-i-september-2022 (accessed 31 October 2022)

example of how rapidly the demand for electricity can rise if incentives and regulations take effect. Europe is in a decarbonisation mode to meet EU's climate and emissions goals. On 21 April 2021, the European Commission welcomed a provisional agreement between the co-legislators on the European climate law. As one of the key elements of the European Green Deal, the European Climate Law enshrines the EU's commitment to reaching climate neutrality by 2050 and the intermediate target of reducing net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030, compared to 1990 levels.1

In Cloudberry's home markets, Norway targets at least 50% reduction in non-quota emissions compared to 1990 within 20302 while Sweden targets a 100% renewable power system by 2040 and net zero CO2 emissions by 2045.3 The EU Commission has a vision of secure, sustainable, competitive and affordable energy. This vision is paving the way for new EU strategies, policies and regulations such as the European Green Deal and the EU taxonomy for sustainable activities and more. The EU's climate and energy targets together with national emission targets drive both the supply and demand of renewable energy.

The EU Emission Trading System ("EU ETS") which regulates the price of carbon emissions is a central instrument in EU's climate policy. The carbon price impacts continental power prices directly through adding marginal costs to the production bids from gas and coal fired power plants. Indirectly the price levels of the continent are also affecting the Nordic prices, due to the interconnections. Cloudberry believes that tighter regulations of the carbon market will boost the demand for renewable energy, both directly but also indirectly through higher power prices. EU ETS saw a significant price increase throughout 2021, with a price increase from EUR 33 per MWh to EUR 87 per MWh during 20214 . Prices continued to rise in 2022 until the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, which led to a significant drop. Prices have stabilised again at high levels around ~EUR 80 per MWh (as of 31 October 2022).

6.3 Supply and demand for Nordic electricity

As with all commodities within an open market, the price of electricity is a function of supply and demand. What is rather unique about electricity is the fact that it cannot be easily stored, and for every point in time there needs to be an exact match between supply and demand to keep the system stable. To keep this balance is the responsibility of the respective transmission system operators ("TSOs"), being Statnett in Norway and Svenska Kraftnät in Sweden. To ensure the current balance, Statnett uses balance markets to regulate consumption / production up or down, depending on the imbalance.

The unit for quantifying instant power consumed and produced is the watt (symbol: W); typically scaled up by either thousand (kW), million (MW), or even billion (GW). Energy is power consumed or produced over a certain period of time. A commonly used unit of electric energy would be the watt-hour (Wh), which equals the energy supplied from one watt over a full hour. Since a watt-hour is a very small unit it is usually scaled up to kilowatt-hours (kWh), megawatt-hours (MWh) or gigawatt-hours (GWh).

Supply

The Nordic region, and especially Norway and Sweden, has a very good starting point for leading the green transition due to the existing power production mix as well as other factors. This because both countries already produce more electricity than they consume in a normal year, the lion's share of which comes from sources not emitting CO2.

1 https://ec.europa.eu/clima/policies/eu-climate-action\_en (accessed 31 October 2022)

4 https://tradingeconomics.com/commodity/carbon(accessed 31 October 2022)

Both countries are blessed with vast hydropower resources and on a per capita basis they are the second and fifth largest worldwide.1 Compared to consumption, Norway is covered in a normal year, whereas Sweden gets additional baseload energy from nuclear reactors. Additionally, both countries have great potential for building wind power due to windy climates, scarcely populated unutilised land, and vast coastlines. Also, since most of the existing (Norwegian) hydropower is actually flexible with water potentially stored in reservoirs for later use (comparable to a large-scale battery), the region can accommodate more intermittent wind power than most other regions.

The split of production between countries and production sources for 2021 is illustrated in the following figure. If seen also in relation with the next subsection on demand, one sees a substantial net export of power from the two countries amounting to more than 40 TWh, or 13% of supply, in 2021.

Demand

Due to the current and historical abundant supply of relatively cheap electricity both countries of Norway and Sweden sees high consumption numbers compared to their population.2 The countries have a cold climate with a large share of electric heating that adds substantial consumption during winter months. In addition, both countries have a large share of power intensive industry. As can be seen in the following figure, households and services actually accounts for more than half of the total electricity consumption in the two countries. Norwegian electricity consumption in 2021 was approximately on the same level as Sweden, despite the country have just more than half the population. Most analysts and governmental agencies expect a high growth in electricity demand going forward, driven by

electrification of processes now run on fossil fuels, typically industries and transports, as well as by new industry establishments such as data centres, hydrogen and battery factories.1,2,3

Interconnection, imports and exports

The Nordic transmission system is part of the transmission network in north-western Europe, which connects the Nordic region to one large synchronous power system (excl. western Denmark). Currently Norway and Sweden have direct connections towards Denmark, Finland, Netherlands, Poland, Lithuania, UK and Germany. The latest interconnection with Germany, the 1400 MW NordLink from Norway, was officially opened on 27 May 2021 after having been in trial operation since December 2020. The 1400 MW North Sea Link between Norway and the UK was completed in October 2021.

International interconnection, similarly to connections within country, increase the social welfare though improving both security of supply as well as competition. If one single country where to rely solely on their own wind and solar power production, they would need more than 100% backup capacity for windless nights or during wintertime when the sun does not shine. Through being interconnected with other countries, other production mixes and other weather patterns, the total system need for backup capacity decreases dramatically. For the Nordic countries this implies that our hydropower works as a large-scale battery towards continental Europe, storing water (by covering demand through import of electricity) when power prices are low and exporting power when the continent produce less energy as a result of shortage of wind and sun.

ENTSO-E1 , the European Network of Transmission System Operators, was established in 2008 in order to coordinate closer cooperation across the national transmission systems and thus enable further integration of renewable energy sources into the power system, which is central to meeting the European Union's energy policy objectives of affordability, sustainability and security of supply.

Also within Norway and Sweden the TSOs have established price zones in order to achieve more socioeconomic pricing incentives. Typically, this implies power flow from lower priced northern price zones often limited by transmission bottlenecks towards the higher priced southern areas where most of the demand is.

6.4 Competitive landscape

When investigating the competitive landscape of Cloudberry, one must separate between the competition in owning power production assets versus in development of new production assets. Note also that there is a fragmentation of players across the Norwegian-Swedish border as well as in terms of technology, hydro versus wind, so in the Company's view there are no direct competitors with the exact same focus areas as Cloudberry. For information about the competitive landscape for Captiva, please see Section 6.4.3 (Competition within the market for independent service providers).

Competition within owning and operating power plants

The competitive landscape within upstream electricity production is characterised by the fact that most of the producing assets were built prior to the market deregulation. As such the ownership of existing supply is still dominated by publicly owned companies, led on by the state-owned giants of Norwegian Statkraft and Swedish Vattenfall, followed by regional integrated utilities. This is especially true for the large-scale hydropower, where ~90% of all Norwegian hydropower above 10 MW is publicly owned. Looking to the more recently built wind power or small-scale hydro, where ownership is not affected by neither legacy nor regulation, the picture is more nuanced. For instance, in Norway 60% of the wind power was held by private players as of April 2020.1

Among these privately owned assets the last decade has seen consolidation, from local landowners and farmers, towards more professional players that run or outsource operations at scale. Typically, these

1 https://www.regjeringen.no/no/dokumenter/meld.-st.-28-20192020/id2714775/?ch=8 (accessed 31 October 2022)

players are owned by international institutional investors, like for instance Aquila Capital behind Småkraft AS or BKW and EIP owning Fosen Vind alongside Statkraft and TrønderEnergi.

Recently there has also been quite some interest from companies that has been primarily oil- and gasbased focused. HitechVision has partnered with TrønderEnergi to establish a new Nordic renewable company Aneo1 . Another example is the creation of Orrön Energy in 2022, after Lundin Energy divested its oil and gas business to Aker BP creating Orrön as the new renewable vehicle in the Lundin group2 .

All else alike new entrants will add an upwards price pressure to the valuation of producing assets.

Competition within project development

Historically the regional or state-owned utilities has tended to develop projects in close vicinity to their existing assets, with examples being Finnmark Kraft and TrønderEnergi AS developing and building wind power in the north and middle of Norway respectively. Utility owned Zephyr AS is an exception working projects in all but their owners' region of South-Eastern Norway. Most of the larger Norwegian utilities have been hesitant to develop or invest in wind power, due likely to owner preferences and capital restrictions. The largest owner of Norwegian wind power, Statkraft, said back in March of 2019 that they will stop development of onshore wind in Norway after having completed their at that time permitted projects.3

Within onshore wind development there are as such most private players, that to a higher extent work unrelated to where their headquarters are located. OX2 AB, Arise AB, Eolus Vind AB, Rabbalshede Kraft AB, Norsk Vind Energi AS are all examples of privately owned wind developers that span several counties and even countries with their onshore wind portfolio. Further the newly established players Orrön Energi and Aneo represent new private players with a more flexible mandate. Also, within development there are some traditional oil and gas players coming along to get a hold on projects already in early phase, however Cloudberry believes it is most likely that they will develop such projects in collaboration with local partners, such as Cloudberry.

Competition within the market for independent service providers

There is a growing market for independent service providers (ISPs) in the Nordic market, driven by asset owners without in-house operations and management teams. Norwegian Zephyr and TrønderEnergi are examples of companies offering such services. On a general note, the Swedish ISP market is more mature than the Norwegian, especially on wind management.

The competition on data driven services and digital solutions is lower. The solutions are cost- and time consuming to develop, and there is, in Cloudberry's view, a significant first mover advantage. However, as the market further develops, one cannot rule out further competition emerging, either through existing players from other regions, or through Nordic ISPs developing new digital solutions in direct competition with Captiva.

6.5 Nordic power prices

Price formation and fundamental drivers

When talking about power prices in the Nordics people are usually referring to the day-ahead spot prices as calculated by the auction-based power exchange of Nord Pool. However, the wholesale market for

2https://www.orron.com/about-us/(accessed 1 November 2022)

3 https://www.dn.no/energi/statkraft-dropper-vindkraft-i-norge/2-1-574784(accessed 31 October 2022)

Nordic electricity consists of several layers with different and to some extent also competing marketplaces.

Looking chronologically through the electricity's path towards actual physical delivery, the first decision for a participant would be related to risk management and the uncertainties of future power price levels. Either through the use of a bilateral PPAs, or through utilising the central clearing service of Nasdaq Commodities, one can and will buy/sell financial products to limit the financial consequences of future spot prices. In order to forecast future power prices, market participants and analysts typically analyse the following market drivers:

    1. Fuel and CO2 prices The most expensive producer needed in the common European market would almost always be a coal- or gas-fired power plant. The marginal cost tends to be the fuel cost of natural gas or coal, combined with the cost of accompanying CO2 emissions. This is implicitly also the assumed price levels of continental Europe.
    1. Supply and demand balance Weather forecast for temperature (directly affects heating demand), precipitation and wind, hydrological balance (water in the reservoirs, snow in the mountains), current supply and demand availability (outages in nuclear power plants, large smelters, etc)
    1. Cross-border trading capacities Current and coming availability on interconnections to higher or lower priced regions

Typically, the power price in the short-term is volatile and will be affected by short term changes in weather and availabilities. The longer view on power prices is more stable and dependent on long term view on fuel / CO2 prices, interconnection buildouts, and also the long-term marginal costs of building new renewable production and accompanying storage solutions.

Even though long-term power price forecasts have been relatively stable during 2021 and the start of 2022, the last year has seen an unprecedented rise in short to medium term prices. Whilst 2020 gave record low electricity prices in the Nordics, 2021 ended up with the highest power prices recorded for the three southernmost price areas of Norway, primarily driven by the significant price increase of fossil gas. The price increased further due to a dry year in Southern and Western Norway, which led to the highest power price, on average over the year, at EUR 61 per MWh. However, the price differences within the country were significant, with the northernmost price area (NO4) coming in at EUR 36 per MWh, and the three southernmost (NO1, NO2 and NO5) came in at EUR 76 per MWh.

The war in Ukraine has further elevated prices across Europe, primarily driven by a further price increase for fossil gas, as the European Union has said it will rid itself of the dependency of Russian gas. Fears over a supply constraint has pushed prices further up, resulting in unprecedented price levels with the southern price areas in Norway seeing prices above EUR 300 per MWh.1

Price expectations

In October 2021, NVE published its long-term power analysis report. A summary of the expected forward prices is presented in the figure below (presented in EUR/MWh). There are no updated reports released by NVE per the date of this Prospectus, i.e. the report is published prior to the Ukraine invasion causing the prices to temporarily spike as shown in the Volue projections further below. 1

The figure below shows Volue's (formerly named Wattsight) analysis and price projections for Nordic power prices 2022 – 2050:2

2 Volue Insight, September 2022 report. Long Term Price Forecast in the Nordic Countries (2022 – 2050)

Both NVE and Cloudberry believe that the interconnectors from the Nordics to Europe will result in lower price differences to the continent/UK in the future. According to NVE's 2021 long term power report, real power prices in the Nordics are expected to increase due to higher climate targets, resulting in a higher CO2 price.1

Both NVE's report and Volue's reports have very similar conclusions with NVE and Volue projecting long-term real power prices around EUR 50 per MWh. However, both Volue and NVE predicts differences in prices for the different price areas, in addition to Volue being updated with the 2022 spikes caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine in their 2022 average.

However, the long -term effects on the power prices due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine are unclear due to the uncertainty around the European gas supply affecting gas prices. Volue notes in its March 2022 report that: "Gas is the fuel most directly affected by the invasion, due to Europe's reliance on Russian pipeline exports. Roughly 40% of Europe's gas consumption origins from Russia. The TTF April contract increased from €88/MWh on the day before the invasion to a close of €166/MWh on March 3rd, being a new record for an April contract. In response to the Russian aggression, Germany has halted the approval process for the Nord Stream 2. The pipeline could very well be permanently scrapped."

6.6 Other sources of revenue from power production

Sale of electricity certificates ("Electricity Certificates") and guarantees of origin ("Guarantees of Origin") are two other revenue sources for producers of renewable energy. In today's market, both revenue sources have minimal value in Cloudberry's financial models and is therefore only discussed briefly below.

Electricity Certificates

An Electricity Certificate is an electronic document granted to producers of new renewable electricity for each MWh of electricity they produce. From 1 January 2012 Norway and Sweden have had a common market for Electricity Certificates. Newly built renewable power plants which were put into operation by the end of 2021 are entitled to Electricity Certificates following certain criteria and

1 https://www.nve.no/energi/analyser-og-statistikk/langsiktig-kraftmarkedsanalyse/(accessed 1 November 2022)

approvals. Power plants approved in the scheme will be awarded electricity certificates for up to 15 years. Even though Electricity Certificates have a potentially interesting option value, Cloudberry has put minimal value on certificates in the in-house financial models. Prices has dropped to close to zero value, and Cloudberry expects that to continue for the duration of the scheme.

Guarantees of Origin

A Guarantee of Origin is an electronic document proving to a final customer that the corresponding 1 MWh of electrical energy was produced from renewable sources. The Renewables Directive 2009/28/EC specifies that all producers of renewable power have a right to receive Guarantees of Origin for their renewable power production. Guarantees of Origins are primarily traded bilaterally and as a consequence it is not a particularly transparent market. Historically, information in the market indicates that Guarantees of Origin are sold for a price between 1 and 3 EUR/MWh.1 However as per the date of this Prospectus, the prices for Guarantees of Origin have increased significantly and are now trading around 7-9 EUR/MWh.2 As the market is not transparent, the reason for the increase is uncertain but believed to be caused by low European renewable production in 2022 combined with strong demand. Cloudberry recently sold 115,000 MWh of its 2023 Guarantees of Origins production through a forward

2 https://www.greenpowerhub.com/guarantees-of-origin/ (accessed 06 December 2022)

contract at a price of 9 EUR/MWh with delivery in December 2023. The Group sells some Guarantees of Origin in the market through its balancing service provider.

Balancing markets

Cloudberry has no particular flexible power producing assets and as such has indirectly more costs than revenue potential in the balancing markets. As per current strategy, Cloudberry utilised third parties for market operation of our assets, which includes both bidding and balancing services.

6.7 Regulatory framework

General

The Group complies with local and national laws and regulations in the countries in which it operates. Compliance with such laws and regulations is an important aspect of the Group's ability to continue its current operations.

The laws and regulations to which the Group is subject govern, among other things, management of water and wind resources, construction and operation of power plants and transmission and sale of electricity, the protection of the environment and natural resources, and the remediation of environmental contamination. The operations require the Group to obtain and comply with the terms and conditions of public permits and licenses, some of which are difficult and costly to obtain and could be subject to legal challenges.

Environmental standards applicable to the Group are established by the laws and regulations that apply in the countries in which the Group operates, standards adopted by regulatory agencies and the permits and licenses. Violations of these laws, regulations or permits and licenses may result in substantial civil and criminal fines, penalties, and possibly orders to cease the violating operations or to conduct or pay for corrective works. In some instances, violations may also result in the suspension or revocation of permits and licenses.

The risk of substantial environmental costs and liabilities is inherent in industrial operations, including the industries in which the Group is operating.

The EU has for many years taken steps to open the electricity market for competition. Already back in 1996, the 1996 Electricity Market Directive (96/92/EC) was adopted, which set out common rules for the internal market in electricity. This was the first step towards an open, common European electricity market. This directive has been revised several times. In June 2019, a Fourth Energy Package was adopted consisting of one directive (Electricity Directive (2019/944/EU) and three regulations: the Electricity Regulation (2019/943/EU), the Risk-Preparedness Regulation (2019/941/EU) and the Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER) Regulation (2019/942/EU). The Fourth Energy package introduces new electricity market rules to meet the needs of renewable energies and to attract investments. It provides incentives for consumers and introduces a new limit for power plants to be eligible to receive subsidies as capacity mechanisms. It also makes it a requirement for the Member States to prepare contingency plans for potential electricity crises and increases the ACER's competences in cross-border regulatory cooperation when there is the risk of national and regional fragmentation.

The Renewable Energy Directive (2009/28/EC) establishes an overall policy for the production and promotion of energy from renewable sources in the EU. It requires the EU to fulfil at least 32% of its total energy needs with renewable energy by 2030.

In December 2018, the recast Renewable Energy Directive 2018/2001/EU entered into force, as part of the clean energy for all Europeans package, aimed at keeping the EU a global leader in renewables and, more broadly, helping the EU to meet its emissions reduction commitments under the Paris Agreement.

The recast directive moves the legal framework to 2030 and sets a new binding renewable energy target for the EU for 2030 of at least 32%, with a clause for a possible upwards revision by 2023 and comprises measures for the different sectors to make it happen.

The recast Renewable Energy Directive 2018/2001/EU also extends the Guarantee of Origin Scheme until 2030. Further, acknowledging that permitting processes can be an obstacle to renewable energy projects in general, and of wind power in particular, the EU has addressed this issue in the revised Renewable Energy Directive (2018/2001/EU), which includes provisions that aim to simplify permitting processes.

Overview of legal framework for key activities in Norway

Production, conversion and transmission of energy in Norway is subject to the Norwegian Energy Act of 29 June 1990 no. 50, which provides a framework for competition in production transferring and trading of electricity. The act provides key regulations for the marketplaces of electrical energy, responsibility for system operation, energy planning and electricity supply quality. Further, the act prescribes a compulsory license for the construction of wind farms and hydroelectrical power plants exceeding a certain size and capacity. The Norwegian Energy Act also requires that a trading license must be obtained before a power plant can deliver electricity to the grid.

To construct, own and operate a wind farm in Norway, a facility license under to the Norwegian Energy Act is required. In addition, the wind farm must comply with the local municipal zoning regulations, which is normally achieved by obtaining a dispensation from the zoning plan in question. Prior to construction, a detail plan and an environmental, transport and construction plan must be approved by the NVE. Ultimately, permits must be obtained for any additional measures outside of the planning area (as described in the facility license).

On 8 April 2022 the Ministry of Petroleum and Energy announced that the processing of applications for new onshore wind projects were to resume. It is a requirement for processing that the host municipality supports the project. The Ministry also announced that the processing will include more stringent requirements and greater emphasis on local participation in the licensing process. The Ministry has also stated that it intends to continue the process for regulatory revisions as decided by the Norwegian Parliament in 2020 (cf. Meld. St. 28 (2019-2020)). The key item in these revisions were the implementation of planning and construction of onshore wind farms in the Planning and Building Act. As of the time of this Prospectus, the new set of policy and regulations are yet to be announced. The current expectations are that a public hearing for the necessary legislative changes will be conducted in Q1 2023.

Norwegian wind farms have until now only been subject to ordinary taxation. The Company is subject to corporate tax of 22% and 21.8% in Norway and Sweden respectively. Norwegian wind farms have historically only been subject to ordinary taxation, including property tax where applicable. However, with effect from 1 July 2022, the Norwegian government implemented a production fee on power from wind farms at NOK 0.01/kWh (approx. 1 EUR/MWh). In October 2022 it was proposed that the production fee is increased to NOK 0.02/kWh (approx. 2 EUR/MWh). With respect to land-based wind farms (both existing and new) which are subject to license requirement and hydropower plants with an installed effect of minimum 1 MW, the Norwegian government has proposed to introduce a high price contribution tax levied on energy sold at a price above NOK 0.70/kWh at a rate of 23%, with effect from 1 January 2023. The high price contribution tax is not expected to be deductible in the calculation of corporate income tax or resource rent tax. Further, the Norwegian government has informed that they plan to introduce a resource rent tax and natural resource tax for land-based wind farms (both existing and new) which are subject to license requirement, with effect from 1 January 2023. The Norwegian government's plan is to publish a consultation paper during the autumn of 2022, and for the Parliament to resolve legislation relating to the new taxation during spring 2023.

In order to make use of water for energy production, the developer must have the ownership rights to the waterfall. For small-scale hydropower projects the developer is required to obtain a license under the Norwegian Concession Act of 28 November 2003 no. 98 to acquire such rights. For larger hydropower a non-state developer is required to obtain a license under the Norwegian Waterfall Rights Act of 14 December 1917 no. 16 (Nw.: vannfallsrettighetsloven) to acquire such rights. Such licenses are privilege to companies that must be at least two-thirds publicly owned. The Group's hydro power plants are all small-scale projects below the threshold for a license under the Waterfall Rights Act.

Energy projects of small scale may also be subject to the Water Resources Act, under which a license containing conditions to ensure compensation for damage or to mitigate damage may be issued.

Furthermore, the regulation of river systems will be subject to the Watercourse Regulation Act as of 14 December 1917 no. 17. In order to regulate flow in a river or transfer water between river systems for utilization in power generation above a certain threshold, a license under the Watercourse Regulation Act is required.

The EU Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC) has been implemented in Norwegian law through the Water Management Regulations, which were adopted under the Planning and Building Act of 27 June 2008 no. 71, the Water Resources Act of 24 November 2000 no. 82 and the Pollution Control Act of 13 March 1981 no. 6. The regulations stipulate provisions on river basin management plans, whose objective is to safeguard the ecological status of coastal waters, rivers and lakes.

Various other acts do also provide relevant legislation for the management of water and wind resources in Norway, such as the Expropriation Act of 23 October 1959 no. 3, the Cultural Heritage Act as of 9 June 1978 no. 50, the Competition Act of 5 March 2004 no. 12, the Consumer Purchases Act of 26 June 2002 no. 34 and the Public Administration Act as of 10 February 1967.

Overview of legal framework for key activities in Sweden

With regard to the legal framework for the operations in Sweden, the permitting process for wind farms is regulated by the Swedish Environmental Code, which stipulates different procedures depending on whether the wind farm is classified as mid-sized or large. Further, in case of infringement of a protected area under the Environmental Code, a permit must be obtained. If the wind farm is built on or close to an ancient monument, the developer is also required to have a permit in accordance with the Swedish Cultural Heritage Act.

Land rights for wind farms are normally obtained through leasehold or freehold (ownership). The rights of passage and wiring on another property can be secured by registering an easement on the property over which it passes. In case the landowner cannot agree on the right of passage, an administrative procedure may grant such rights.

Political risks associated with Guarantee of Origin schemes could adversely affect the Group's business and income

In accordance with EU legislation, power plants in the EEA may get approved for Guarantees of Origin for five years at a time. Energy suppliers may buy such Guarantees of Origin from the power producer in order to guarantee its customers that the delivered energy is produced from renewable sources.

The relevance of the latest revision of the current European Renewable Energy Directive is currently being assessed by the EEA/EFTA. The revision seems to extend the Guarantee of Origin scheme, although no decision has been made. The future of the scheme is thus subject to political risk, which in turn may affect the Group's business, income and financial condition.

Concessions from the NVE are granted without a time limit, and "remaining years" in the table above is related to the remaining years of the lease period in the agreements with the landowners. The majority of the lease agreements with landowners have mechanisms for extension beyond the initial lease period.

The Group also holds a backlog of exclusive projects under development (420 MW and 15 projects) and a pipeline of non-exclusive projects of > 2,500 MW (including hydro, on- and offshore wind in Norway and Sweden). These projects are not shown in the table above; please refer to Section 7.5 (Cloudberry Develop AS, operations and activities) for further details.

7.3 Recent M&A Activities

In the period since 1 January 2021, the Group has been involved in a large number of M&A transactions, as further described below in this Section 7.3.

Transactions completed in 2021

Acquisition of 100% of the shares of Selselva Kraft AS

In December 2020, Cloudberry Production AS entered into an agreement to acquire 100% of the shares of Selselva Kraft AS, which owns a power producing hydropower plant with expected annual production of 20 GWh. The transaction was completed in on 13 January 2021. The plant is generating revenue. The total purchase price of NOK 65 million was paid in cash and was equity financed.

Acquisition of 100% of the shares of Skåråna Kraft AS

In December 2020, Cloudberry Production AS entered into an agreement to acquire 100% of the shares of Skåråna Kraft AS, which is the owner of two hydropower plants. The power plants commenced production in third quarter 2022 and are expected to have an annual production at a normalised level of 14 GWh. The transaction was completed in February 2021. The purchase price was originally NOK 23.7 million, of which NOK 17.0 million was settled in cash, while NOK 6.0 million was held back since the purchase price is subject to adjustments in case of cost overruns related to construction projects. As per the end of third quarter 2022, there have been cost overruns exceeding NOK 6.0 million, and hence there will be no final settlement with the seller.

Acquisition of 100% of the shares of Nessakraft AS

At the time the Company acquired Cloudberry Production AS in February 2020, Cloudberry Production AS had already agreed to acquire 100% of the shares of Nessakraft AS. Nessakraft AS consists of a producing hydropower plant with expected annual production of 34 GWh. The transaction was completed in June 2021. The purchase price amounted to NOK 79.0 million, which was paid in cash and was equity financed.

Acquisition of 100% of the shares of Bjørgelva Kraft AS

At the time the Company acquired Cloudberry Production AS in February 2020, Cloudberry Production AS had already agreed to acquire 100% of the shares of Bjørgelva Kraft AS. Bjørgelva Kraft AS owns a producing hydropower plant with expected annual production of 7 GWh. The transaction was completed in June 2021. The purchase price amounted to NOK 10.8 million, which was paid in cash and equity financed.

Acquisition of additional 18.4% of the shares of Odal Vind AS

In December 2020, Cloudberry Production AS entered into an agreement to acquire up to 33.4% of the shares of Odal Vindkraftverk AS (now Odal Vind AS). Odal Vind AS owns a wind farm in production (33 of 34 turbines operational) located in Nord-Odal municipality in Norway. The wind farm (100% basis) has an installed effect of 163 MW with an annual expected production of approximately 500 GWh.

The Group completed the acquisition of 15% of the shares in December 2020. In July 2021, Cloudberry Production AS exercised its option to increase its shareholding from 15% to 33.4%. The purchase price for the additional 18.4% of the shares amounted to NOK 239.7 and was settled with cash and equity financed.

7.4 Cloudberry Production AS, operation and activities

Overview

CB Production is focused on owning renewable energy projects in the Nordics with long-term cash flow expectations. The Group has long experience from managing power plants and technical suppliers. CB Production has focused on building a scalable platform with relatively low overhead costs and outsources construction, operations and maintenance of its power plants.

Construction, operation and maintenance are normally outsourced to selected experienced local utility partners and turbine manufacturers, securing access to well proven technological solutions, local presence and sharing in their economies of scale. CB Production's hydro plants are currently operated by Captiva. Outsourced operational tasks include inter alia continuous monitoring, 24h emergency central and local monitoring/servicing, planned servicing and optimisation of daily production (including daily weather monitoring).

Due to technological development, most of the plants are equipped with sensors and surveillance systems in order to minimise operations and maintenance costs. Operations and maintenance costs typically account for approximately 10% of revenue (slightly lower for the hydro power assets and slightly higher for the wind assets), property tax normally 0.7% of book values and other cost (insurance, accounting etc.) approximately 1% of the revenue. Wind assets in Norway do also have a production fee to the local municipalities of about EUR 2 per MWh.

Land lease agreements vary between the hydro projects and are specified in the table under Section 7.2 (Overview of the Group's operations and activities). In some agreements, the land-lease cost is normally 10% of revenue, while in other contracts a minimum net equity return of typically 4%-7% is secured before the upside is shared between Cloudberry and the landowner(s). For the wind projects, the landlease cost is 4% of the revenue.

With regard to construction of new plants, the Group prefers to outsource construction in order to minimise overhead costs, secure high quality expertise and minimise project risk.

The market for construction of hydropower plants in Norway is mature and has developed over the last 100 years. The market for construction of wind power plants is less mature,but has developed significantly over the last decade. CB Production's experience is that high quality expertise is available, pricing is competitive, and benchmarking is relatively manageable. A majority of Cloudberry's hydro plants are new.

A power plant's revenue is sourced through the sale of power, Electricity Certificates and Guarantees of Origin. Revenue equals volume produced multiplied by the price of power, Electricity Certificates and Guarantees of Origin. 98% of all electricity produced is currently sold in the spot marked.

Water volumes in the rivers over time and high consistent wind speeds are important input factors for volume produced, while the power price is the most sensitive price input (please refer to Section 6.3 (Supply and demand for Nordic electricity) for information regarding expected long term power prices in the Nordics). CB Production borrow water and wind resources from landowners, and act as a longterm owner and steward of land, wind and water resources. Access to the land is secured through longterm lease agreements with the landowners.

By the latest reporting date, 25 October 2022, CB Production had a production portfolio of 127 MW in operation. Cloudberry's historical production volumes has been 172 GWh (three first quarters of 2022), 117 GWh for 2021 and 21 GWh in 2020. Annual production is expected to increase considerably in 2023, following acquisitions made in 2021-2022, as well as the completion of several power plants under construction (please refer to Section 7.2 (Overview of the Group's operations and activities) for further details related to the portfolio).

Construction projects

Cloudberry has one wind project (Hån) and one hydropower plant (Øvre Kvemma) under construction. Below is a closer description of the two projects under construction.

The construction of Hån commenced on 2 August 2021. The construction work is on schedule and within budget. The project is located in Årjäng municipality, Sweden, and is planned with an installed capacity of 21 MW. The wind turbine consists of five Vestas V150 4.2 MW turbines with a total height of 200 meters. They are expected to provide an annual production of 74 GWh. The power will be delivered to the Norwegian power grid (NO1, Oslo price area). All five turbines are currently erected, and electrification and testing has started. Revenue generating production is expected from the end of 2022.

The hydro project Øvre Kvemma is located in Lærdal municipality, Norway. The estimated, annual power production is 19 GWh (8 MW). Cloudberry secured the project in early 2022 and the construction has just started. Cloudberry will not take construction risk and expects to have financial close in H1 2024 once the power plant is completed and after a commissioning period.

Power prices in 2021 and 2022

During 2021 and 2022, Europe, and the Nordics, have seen record high power prices, primarily driven by the lack of energy in the European market. The energy prices have been driven up by the war in Ukraine and lack of gas, strong increase in the CO2 prices, little rain in southern parts of Norway and less-than-normal wind across Europe. For the year 2021, the Nordic System price ended at above EUR 62 per MWh. For the first three quarters in 2022 the Nordic System price ended at EUR 171 per MWh the highest ever recorded price. However, the internal price difference between the regions were at record levels due to significant variations in perception levels. In 2022 the power price in the Oslo area (price region NO 1) was EUR 242 per MWh while in the northern area (price region NO 4) only EUR 35 per MWh.

During 2021, about 90% of Cloudberry's power sale was sold at spot prices. So far in 2022, 98% of Cloudberry's power production is exposed to spot prices.

7.5 Cloudberry Develop AS, operations and activities

Overview

Cloudberry Develop AS develops hydro and wind power assets from early stage through to obtaining construction permits. Assets developed are then sold, either to Cloudberry Production AS or wholly or partly to third parties.

Cloudberry Develop AS is focused on growing and improving the Nordic backlog of renewable projects. The company has a dynamic approach to the project backlog portfolio and projects will either be developed, sold or discontinued based on the projects' characteristics and prospects for further development.

Cloudberry Develop AS is also focused on the early phase planning, procurement and project oversight while construction is outsourced to third parties.

On-shore development projects

Projects with construction permit

Cloudberry Develop AS currently has four main onshore development projects with construction license; project Kafjärden (20 – 40 MW, expected 32 MW (90 GWh)), project Munkhyttan (18 MW), project Duvhällen (30 – 60 MW) and the shallow-water project Stenkalles (100 MW).

Kafjärden is located in Eskilstuna municipality (SE 3 region). The project has a construction permit and parts of the infrastructure is already in place including roads, crane pads, foundations and power grid. Cloudberry is currently optimising the project (expected 32 MW with an annual expected production of 90 GWh) and finalising the final development and procurement process (i.e. turbine negotiations). The project is planned to be completed by 2023/2024.

Munkhyttan is located in the SE 3 region in Sweden. Final development and procurement are on-going. The project has a construction permit of 18 MW. Cloudberry has secured the option to purchase Munkhyttan II (additional 18 MW) at same terms and conditions. Munkhyttan II is currently in the development phase while Munkhyttan I is expected to start construction in 2023 and be completed in 2024.

Project Duvhällen is a wholly owned wind farm project located in Eskilstuna, Sweden (SE 3 region). The project has received a construction license of 165 GWh/60MW. However, the current power grid capacity is limited to 30 MW/82 GWh. The grid owner, Vattenfall, has completed an environmental impact assessment and filed for an increased power grid capacity permit to match the construction permit to Elmarknadsinspektionen. The receipt of increased power grid capacity permit is still not received from Vattenfall. Procurement and construction will be initiated following receipt of the full grid permit.

The Stenkalles Project is a nearshore shallow water wind project in Lake Vänern, the largest lake in Sweden. Stenkalles is owned 50/50 by Cloudberry and Hafslund. The project has received a permit to build 20 wind turbines with a total installed capacity of 100 MW and has secured and signed the power grid connection agreement. Detailed planning and procurement are underway for Stenkalles. The joint Cloudberry and Hafslund offshore team work closely with the project team from the Dutch company Ventolines to optimise the project and further reduce risk before making the final investment decision.. Commercial operation is targeted for 2025.

Project Backlog

Cloudberry Develop AS also holds a backlog portfolio of 420 MW. These projects are exclusive, but without construction permit.

Björnetjärnsberget is one of the named projects in the project backlog. During Q4 2021 Cloudberry sent a consultation document (Samrådshandling) for the Björnetjärnsberget project in Eda municipality, Sweden. This means that the formal process related to the project to the authorities and stakeholders has begun. The project is within municipal plans for wind power. The project is planned with 15-18 wind turbines. A collaboration has also been initiated with Hilmer Andersson AB, a local sawmill that over several years has had major challenges with poor power supply, both security of supply and capacity.

Project Pipeline

Cloudberry Develop is also working on a non-exclusive pipeline of more than 20 projects with a capacity above 2,500 MW. All projects are located in Norway or Sweden and are combinations of off-shore wind (shallow-water), on-shore wind and hydro-power projects. The projects are primarily in an early phase of the development process.

Shallow water and offshore

Cloudberry Develop AS has been involved in offshore wind power since 2010 and has built up significant development expertise. The team was in January strengthened with Charlotte Bergquist (Head of Development) and new offices in Eskilstuna and Gothenburg, Sweden.

Based on the experience and expertise gained from the Stenkalles Project, Cloudberry intends use the know-how for offshore projects in the Baltic Sea, which have similar water-depths and is expected to use similar technical solutions. Cloudberry recently announced the first hearings regarding the possibility of an offshore wind farm outside the Simpevarp peninsula in Oskarshamn located on the Swedish east coast in SE3. A strong grid connection in combination with good water depths, suitable ports and a unique industrial energy expertise nearby create favourable conditions for what Cloudberry believes to be Sweden's first large-scale unsubsidised offshore wind farm.

Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB), and Task Force on Climate Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), as well as essential elements of the UN Sustainability Development Goals.

Planet

Cloudberry positively impacts the energy transition by producing renewable energy. At the same time, the company impacts the planet through the construction and production of wind farms and hydropower plants. It is important to Cloudberry to reduce the environmental footprint as much as possible.

Cloudberry made the strategic decision in 2020 to measure its greenhouse gas emissions in accordance with the guidelines of the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol. In 2021, the reported greenhouse gas emissions from scope 1, 2, and 3 were 203 tons of CO2e. Cloudberry is a fossil-free company and has no direct emissions in Scope 1. The Company's climate strategy includes compensating for its emissions by purchasing carbon credits. Cloudberry has therefore been net-zero in its own operations (Scope 1 and 2) by removing CO2 from the atmosphere through funding the restoration of mangrove forests. In addition, Cloudberry compensates for the emissions generated by its employees. Moving forward, Cloudberry will conduct the calculation to determine a decarbonisation pathway to reach net-zero in the value chain by 2040.

Cloudberry has a scalable platform and is positioned for valuable growth, both in terms of energy production and building a strong backlog and pipeline through in-house development. Cloudberry's strategy is to continue its sustainable growth organically and inorganically in the Nordic market. Areas of its business will have residual carbon emissions, which the Company will neutralise, while minimising its footprint as much as possible. To limit global warming to the 1.5-degree scenario, Cloudberry will further calculate the total emission in Scope 3 and determine a decarbonisation pathway to do its part for society to become a low-carbon economy.

In 2021, Cloudberry produced 117 GWh of renewable energy, which is equivalent to reducing 29,133 tCO2e, relative to baseline emissions from the European electricity mic (EU-27 electricity mix, IEA 2021). After taking into account the greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 1, 2 and 3) of 203 tCO2e from Cloudberry's carbon emissions accounting and carbon emissions of 297 tCO2e from all employees in Cloudberry, the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from Cloudberry's operations in 2021 was 28,633 tCO2e.

Cloudberry's proportionate power production accumulated per third quarter 2022 totaled 173 GWh. This is equivalent to reducing 43,007 tCO2e, relative to baseline emissions from the European electricity mix (EU-27 electricity mix, IEA 2021). Cloudberry's carbon emissions accounting from Scope 1, 2 and 3 is not reflected in the number of avoided emissions in 2022.

In line with the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), Cloudberry updated the risk assessment related to its business development and expansion during 2021. Cloudberry will continuously analyse and assess its climate-related risk strategy. To further prevent the climate-related risks, work on an integrated scenario analysis will be incorporated into the Cloudberry strategy.

The development, construction and operations of renewable energy plants may have several environmental impacts. Wind farms have an impact on both off- and onshore land areas, and hydropower plants impact river systems. At wind power plants, among other things, there is an environmental impact both under construction and in operation. For onshore wind energy, the first and foremost environmental impact relates to visibility in the landscape, shadows, and noise. For offshore wind, the impact is similar to onshore wind although the visibility and noise is less if the turbines are put far from shore. There are specific environmental impacts to address when constructing an offshore wind farm to protect the wildlife at sea. Hydropower plants impact the water flow, fish and sediment load.

Development, construction and production of wind and hydropower is highly regulated both in Norway and Sweden, with stringent environmental regulations. Cloudberry maintains a continuous dialogue with authorities and local stakeholders. The Company aims to minimise the environmental footprint in its projects and to maximise local value creation. Cloudberry always considers the environmental and social impacts prior to final investment decisions, and this is integrated in Cloudberry's ESG due diligence guideline in all its development and construction projects.

The Taxonomy

100% of Cloudberry`s turnover, operating expenses, and investments within the Production and Development segments are EU Taxonomy eligible. Third-party assessments to evaluate alignment with the technical screening criteria in the EU Taxonomy Regulation are ongoing and will be reported on from 2023. Newly acquired Captiva Group and the Operations segment will be part of the taxonomy reporting from 2023.

Internal analysis and estimates of life cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from Cloudberry's producing hydro power assets indicate emissions significantly below the threshold set out in the EU Taxonomy (100g CO2e/kWh). Reporting on Lifecycle GHG emissions, Power Density of the Electricity Generation Facility (above 5 W/m2), Do No Significant Harm (DNSH) and Minimum Safeguard principles are assessed, and Cloudberry is prepared to report in accordance with the EU Taxonomy requirements on its hydro- and wind energy assets, and will strive to ensure that the activities meet the criteria. Cloudberry's goal is to have 100% alignment in the forthcoming years.

Governance

Cloudberry adheres to good governance standards and will at all times seek to ensure that the Company endorses the Norwegian Code of Practice for Corporate Governance ("NUES"), last revised on 14 October 2021, which is available at the web site of the Norwegian Corporate Governance Board (www.nues.no). This includes disclosure and transparency in all our business to provide shareholders and stakeholders with precise and accurate information concerning all aspects regarding Cloudberry. More detailed information on NUES is included in the "Corporate Governance Report 2021" in the Annual Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2021, incorporated by reference in Section 20.3 (Incorporated by reference).

Cloudberry has strengthened its sustainability strategy into the overall business strategy, and the focus on ESG is incorporated in development projects, producing assets and in our overall operating business. As a part of the reporting structure, environmental, social and governance concerns are embedded. The management and Board of Directors review specific sustainability topics including procurement, stakeholder engagement, health and safety, security, and environmental and social impacts in all our business units.

At the management level, the CEO monitors the implementation of the sustainability strategy and is responsible for ensuring that climate-related risks and opportunities are integrated into the company's long-term business strategy. The CEO oversees and reports to the Board of Directors on the management's progress related to Cloudberry's key strategic sustainability and climate-related objectives. Furthermore, Cloudberry has hired a Chief Compliance and Organisation Officer who is in charge of the Company's systems and processes related to ESG and organisational development.

In 2021, the Board of Directors established an ESG committee consisting of two Board directors and the Chief Sustainability Officer. The purpose of the committee is to ensure alignment with the Company's sustainability strategy and to discuss and evaluate ESG concerns relevant to Cloudberry. The committee is responsible of evaluating, following up the implementation of the company's ESG strategy, and to review relevant ESG initiatives. The committee reviews and advises on the Cloudberry's sustainability performance, ESG goals and key performance indicators.

A due diligence guideline on evaluation of environmental, social and governance aspects has been incorporated as an integral part of Cloudberry's investment decisions. The guideline takes into account a selection of ESG aspects that may have material impacts, both positive and negative, and secures mitigation plans where needed. The company also reports on number of projects rejected and underlaying reason as related to environmental, social and governance issues.

A Supplier Code of Conduct has been completed and implemented in procurement phases. Adherence with the Code is required of all suppliers, and Cloudberry expects that their policies, statements, and commitments are implemented in the operations, and throughout the value chain of suppliers and their sub-suppliers. Cloudberry will annually review its Supplier Code of Conduct to ensure incorporation of relevant developments going forward.

Cloudberry's Code of Conduct sets out the key expectations to all employees, the Board of Directors, and other representatives of the company and specifies the ethical requirements for everybody who works for and on behalf of Cloudberry, including suppliers and other business partners. The Code is the basis for how the Company acts and performs its business, it describes Cloudberry's ethical culture and behavior, and provides general guidelines on issues such as anti-corruption, human and labor rights, health and safety, business ethics, legal compliance, insider trading and other relevant issues related to the Company's operations. The Code of Conduct was reviewed, revised, and finally approved by the Board of Directors in February 2022.

The Company rolled out its whistleblowing reporting channel for employees, representatives of the Company as well as suppliers and business partners during 2021, to notify misconduct within the Cloudberry Group.

People

Cloudberry's responsibility towards employees and hired personnel working on projects is of top priority. In addition, the Company closely monitors the impact on the local communities where the Company operates. Cloudberry takes an active approach and reports transparently in its annual and sustainability reports about its achievements and performance towards diversity and inclusion.

The Act relating to enterprises' transparency and work on fundamental human rights and decent working conditions (the "Transparency Act") came in force 1 July 2022. The Transparency Act is intended to strengthen the impact of international guidelines and principles for responsible business, such as the UN guiding principles on business and human rights and the OECD guidelines for multinational companies. In June 2022, Cloudberry conducted a due diligence assessment in accordance with the requirements of the Transparency Act. The company will publish a report on the due diligence assessments and the mitigating actions in accordance with the guidelines of the Transparency Act by 30 June 2023.

Cloudberry's construction and operation partners have safety policies and report on a variety of measures to safeguard the workplace during the development and construction of new projects, and on the powerplants in production. These measures include training of employees and contractors, procedures for notification of accidents, registration and reporting of nonconformities, whistleblowing etc. More information is provided in the "Corporate Governance Report 2021" in the Annual Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2021, incorporated by reference in Section 20.3

Prosperity

Prosperity relates to Cloudberry's role in contributing to a societal value creation. Cloudberry contributes to economic growth by providing employment, local value creation, and renewable energy supply.

Operating and providing renewable energy assets enables the necessary transition to more renewable energy, to reach the climate goals. Cloudberry's long-term success is linked to conducting its business in a sustainable way with a long-term growth strategy that rests upon the ability to create value for stakeholders.

Local value creation is important for Cloudberry in all its developing, construction and operating projects. The Company seeks to identify local stakeholders' needs and try to accommodate these in the plans. Constructing hydro and wind power plants have an impact on nature, but the production of renewable energy contributes to the necessary renewable energy transition. Cloudberry seeks to thoroughly analyse and assess the impacts to minimise footprint where possible on environment and society. In the sustainability report Cloudberry describes which initiatives the Company has implemented.

7.10 Business processes and objectives – Cloudberry's approach

The development and production of wind and hydropower is highly regulated both in Norway and Sweden, with stringent environmental regulations. Cloudberry maintains a continuous dialogue with authorities and local stakeholders. Cloudberry aims to minimise the environmental footprint from projects and to maximise the local value creation. Below is a description of the process of gaining permits for new wind and hydro projects, and how Cloudberry assesses sustainability within each stage of the process.

The identifying stage (pipeline)

In this stage, the opportunities in an area for a windfarm or a hydropower plant are explored and involves assessing the power grid capacity. Cloudberry aims to seek locations where impact on nature already have been made in order to limit the size of the area impacted.

When a suitable location has been identified, an evaluation of the landowners' interests in having a producing power plant on their ground, and an assessment of the local political view towards such an establishment is made. In Sweden, municipal plans for wind power are already publicly available. In Norway, this must be researched on a case-by-case basis.

Cloudberry seeks to minimise the visual impact and aims to build larger, but fewer, windmills to reduce land use and noise level on the ground whilst seeking to balance the size of the shade area and potential ice throw during cold weather. Wind farms and surrounding infrastructure may also impact the conditions of rare plants, animals and birdlife and may change their conditions.

Further studies relating to the environment, nature and wildlife are carried out to identify potential negative consequences of the project. The next step is negotiating and entering into agreements with the landowners and other third parties.

The development stage (backlog)

In the development stage, the formal notification with a description of the project is submitted to the authorities. Public meetings are held to inform stakeholders of the project. In Norway, NVE handles both wind power and hydropower applications, whilst in Sweden, they are handled by the County Administrative Board (onshore wind power) and the Land and Environmental Court (hydropower and offshore wind power).

Necessary environmental impact assessments are carried out and describe any negative environmental consequences e.g., on biodiversity, caused by the construction and operation of the power plant. The environmental impact assessments are prepared by third party specialist consultants. The benefits of the project must exceed the perceived negative environmental impact. If the environmental impacts are acceptable and within regulatory requirements, the final application is prepared and submitted to the authorities and the development process of the project can proceed.

The approval stage (construction permit)

When a project obtains governmental approvals, the detailed planning of the project begins. This includes descriptions and drawings of the design and layout of the wind power plant, road sections, foundations, cable trenches, crane sites, or a pipeline, dam, and a power station in the case of a hydropower plant. The detailed plan must be approved by the authorities before the actual construction begins. Due consideration of local recreational areas must be taken into consideration when building roads and tracks. To the extent possible it is required to leverage on existing infrastructure, such as inter alia roads and networks and excavated masses are re-used. The permit obtained, specifies numerous environmental conditions that the project needs to fulfil in the construction and production phase. This is applicable to both hydropower and wind farms.

For a hydropower plant this may involve monitoring the area around the power station to identify any changes and need for risk reducing initiatives. For wind farms similar requirements apply. In addition to ongoing conditions that are monitored, the projects may have to involve in specific activities directed towards certain areas i.e. monitoring of birds flying patterns. Cloudberry may also adopt additional voluntary actions, such as reducing waterflow and installing fish ladders. At the same time, hydro dams may also have positive impacts such as limiting the risk of flooding during extreme weather and reducing erosion of rivers and streams.

The construction stage (under construction)

In the construction phase, Cloudberry evaluates potential suppliers. Cloudberry seeks to engage local suppliers and contractors to create value locally. Safety, health and environment are monitored and followed up by the Group and the engaged suppliers, in order to ensure compliance with laws and regulations. Part of the construction is also to secure that all biodiversity requirements in the concession granted is met. This is monitored closely during the construction process. After the construction work itself is finished, efforts are put into restoring the environment as good as possible to pre-construction situation. In cases of temporary dredging work, Cloudberry seek to restore the area to the original condition after the construction is completed.

Upon completion of the construction stage, the commissioning phase is initiated. During commissioning power plants are tested thoroughly, inter alia by stress tests. Calibration and optimisation are also done during commission. After commissioning all certificates and documentation will be issued by the contractors and suppliers. The final stage involves getting necessary approvals based on documentation prepared in the commissioning period.

The production stage (production)

The day-to-day operations of the producing power plants in the Group's portfolio are managed under service contracts and operation and maintenance contracts entered into before the operational stage start. Service and operational contracts are with specialised and experienced companies. In addition, there is a contract with a local representative – often a landowner – that physically inspects the powerplants on an ongoing basis. The power plants are remotely monitored 24/7, and any alarms or faults will be addressed immediately. Periodic maintenance is carried out by qualified personnel approved by the suppliers of the main components in the power plants. The Group has online access to all key information about the power plants. Through periodic meetings performance of the assets are discussed and critical factors such as performance, maintenance requirements and identified opportunities are addressed to enhance the asset utilisation and efficiency.

Further, the Group has not entered into any contract outside the ordinary course of business that contains any provision under which any member of the Group has any obligation or entitlement that is material to the Group as of the date of this Prospectus.

7.12 Dependency on contracts, patents, licenses etc.

All renewable energy projects that the Group is involved in are subject to numerous concession and permit requirements from governmental bodies. The right to build and operate a renewable project is subject to public concessions and permits in addition to private ownership rights to land and waterfalls. These comprise all stages of a renewable project, from early development stage to construction, production, transmission and sale of power. The necessary concessions and permits will depend on size and type of project, classification, development stage of the projects and jurisdiction. In addition to the energy/production related concessions and permits, other permits, licenses and regulatory requirements are also applicable, such as licenses related to safety, pollution, noise, etc.

The Group is required to obtain various governmental concessions and approvals for each of its projects, including inter alia construction concessions and sales concessions. As of the date of this Prospectus, all permits and licences have been obtained for the assets that are in production and all relevant concessions and permits have been obtained for the projects under construction. However, completion permissions, concession for sale of power, etc. are not yet in place due to the stage of the construction work.

The Group applies for all necessary concessions and permits for the assets under construction in due course. The Group has an ongoing dialogue with all relevant and necessary governmental bodies.

For greenfield projects that are not under construction and/or in operation, the Group will normally need to obtain necessary concession, permits and contracts with landowners. It will be an ongoing process to obtain required concessions and permits to commence construction, production and operations on any of the Group's current or future greenfield sites.

As an integrated service for its asset management customers, Captiva offers accounting services, provided through Captiva Financial Services AS, which holds an authorisation as an accounting firm (Nw.: regnskapsførerselskap) and is subject to supervision by the Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway (Nw.: Finanstilsynet).

The Group's existing business is not dependent on any other licenses, patents, or other intellectual property rights.

10.1 Results by operating business segment and geographic area

Introduction

The Company's business model is based on three revenue generating segments and one cost-efficient corporate segment. The revenue generating segments are:

    1. Development (100% owned): Green-field development both on and off-shore with a long history of organic, in-house developments of wind and hydropower assets in Norway and Sweden.
    1. Production (100% owned): An active owner of renewable power assets in the Nordics.
    1. Operations (60% owned): An asset manager and operator of hydro and wind assets including digital solutions with a scalable operating platform.

In 2021 the Group reported under these three business segments in accordance with IFRS 8 "Operating Segments" (IFRS 8). Segment financials were from 2021 reported on a proportionate basis. The key differences between the proportionate and the consolidated IFRS financials are that all entities are included with the Group's respective ownership share, meaning:

  • Associated companies (ownership between 20%-49%) or joint ventures (ownership 50%) are included in the financial accounting lines, the profit or loss statement and share of assets and net debt, with the respective proportionate ownership share. In the consolidated financials associated companies and joint ventures are consolidated with the equity method.
  • Subsidiaries that have non-controlling interests (ownership between 50%-99%) are presented with only the Group controlled ownership share, while in the consolidated financials they are included with 100%.
  • Group internal revenues, expenses and profits are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements, while in the proportionate financials, internal revenue and expenses, are retained.
  • Proportionate interest-bearing debt and NIBD does not include shareholder loans

This is how the internal financial reporting to the Group's chief operating decision maker, defined as the Executive Management team, is prepared. The business segments are determined based on the differences in the nature of their operations. Segment information is accordingly included on this basis in the notes to the Annual Financial Statement. Please see note 4 of Cloudberry's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021 and Section 7 (The business of the Group) for further information regarding the Group's business segments.

Key factors affecting the Group's results of operations and financial performance

Introduction

The Group's results of operations, financial position and liquidity have been affected in the years under review, and are expected to continue to be affected, by certain principal factors and development relating to its business, including, in particular: power prices, production volumes, operational cost, construction cost, interest and inflation rates, exchange rates, trends within the industry, ability to develop new projects, acquisitions, general economic conditions, tax rates and weather conditions. Power prices and production volumes have to the date of this Prospectus had the most significant impact on the Group's income.

Other than the factors described in this Section 10.1.6 (Key factors affecting the Group's results of operations and financial performance) the Group does not consider any governmental, economic, fiscal, tax, monetary or political policy or factor individually to have had a material effect, directly or indirectly, on its operations in the years under review.

Power prices

The profitability of the Group's producing power plants depends on the volume and prices of the electricity produced. Volume and price of electricity are at the date of this Prospectus the most significant factors affecting the income from operations. In 2021, 80% of the Group's revenue was from electricity generation, Electricity Certificates and Guarantees of Origin. Although some of the future sale is expected to be based on fixed PPAs, 98% of the Group's sale is currently exposed to price risk related to electricity sold at spot rates.

During 2021, the Group had entered into fixed price contracts for sale of the production of Røyrmyra Vindpark AS and Selselva Kraft AS, which covered the period until the end of 2021 and about 10% of the total production volumes in 2021. The Group have accounted PPAs as own use contracts which are not recognised in the statement of financial position in accordance with IFRS 9 but accounted for as contracts with customers after IFRS 15 (bilateral industry contracts and settled by physical delivery).

The remaining part of the Group's production volume was exposed to fluctuations in the market prices for electricity, Electricity Certificates and Guarantees of Origin. Both Electricity Certificates and Guarantees of Origin constitute a limited part of the Group's revenues. Please see Section 6.5.2 (Price expectations) for further information on power price expectations.

During 2022 the Group has entered into one new fixed agreement (4 GWh) with start date January 2023 and end date December 2027. The Group has also a fixed agreement (8 GWh) in Bøen Kraft with an end date in December 2024. In total the fixed agreements in place will cover about 2-3% of expected aggregated total production volumes going forward, based on the current portfolio. The PPA at Bøen is accounted as a financial instrument with change in fair value over the profit or loss statement, while the financial PPA of ~4 GWh is recognised using hedge accounting with change in fair value recognised over other comprehensive income.

Electricity prices are inter alia dependent on substitute or adjacent commodity prices such as e.g. oil, gas and coal prices, but also dependent on metrological conditions, CO2 pricing and other supply and demand factors going into the clearing of the market price of electricity.

Lower power prices will affect the revenue and liquidity of the Group. If the power prices remain lower than expected for a longer period of time the balance sheet will most likely also be affected (impairment testing and possible write downs).

Production volumes

Production volumes are a sensitive input factor for Cloudberry's revenue and, together with power price, represent the largest factor affecting income from operations. Power price multiplied by production volumes equals revenue. On portfolio level, there have not been any significant deviations in the expected production volumes from the existing power plants. Production volumes have steadily increased over the past years and are expected to increase further in accordance with completion of new plants, see Section 7.2 (Overview of the Group's operations and activities).

Production volumes are highly correlated to precipitation and wind. For hydro power, precipitation is the key input factor for volume of water in the rivers and the total volume of water in the reservoirs. Increased precipitation volumes are directly correlated with increased production volumes. For wind farms, stable and high wind speeds are directly correlated with the production volumes (kWh produced); however, new technology (better and larger turbines & blades) has improved the overall volume output and opened new possibilities and areas with lower wind speeds. Expected production volumes are normally calculated based on historical wind- and hydro data from public sources or third-party research. During 2022 there has been historical low levels of precipitation in the south of Norway and historical high levels of precipitation in the northern areas of Norway.

Operational costs (opex)

New hydro power plants in production are highly efficient and require minimum maintenance and repair. Norway has a long tradition within hydro power and was an early adopter of modern technology in order to monitor and control the hydro power stations remotely (reducing operational costs). Hydro turbines located in Nordic rivers have a typical lifetime expectancy of 50 – 100 years due to low wear on the equipment. The opex costs are often also linked to the revenue in order to reduce fixed costs and secure the downside profitability. Operational cost for Cloudberry's hydro power production (excluding landlease) is about EUR 4 per MWh (about 5 - 10% of the expected revenue)

Wind power has higher operational costs due to more moving parts and wear on the equipment. Even though the opex costs vary from project to project depending on agreements with the turbine providers, an opex of EUR 12 per MWh (about 15 - 30% of the expected revenue) is a fair estimate for Cloudberry's wind production. The opex includes tax and tariff fees. On portfolio level, there have not been any significant deviations in the expected opex from the existing power plants. Opex have steadily increased over the last years and are expected to increase further in accordance with completion of new plants.

Capital expenditure (capex)

The costs of commodities are important input factors to Cloudberry's hydro and wind projects. Commodities like steel, cement and copper will impact the cost of turbines, foundations, roads and cables. Increasing prices will make Cloudberry's projects less profitable as long as the power prices are kept constant.

The logistic costs will also affect the total capex of new projects. Several parts and components are produced in Asia and will be affected by shipping rates, supply chain delays and the Covid-19 pandemic. Higher rates and longer lead times will in most cases lead to higher capex in the construction phase. Odal Vind AS has been adversely affected by the pandemic. All 32 wind turbines are at the date of this Prospectus installed, but the final capex is expected to be 5% higher than the initial budget.

Interest rates and inflation rates

The Group's underlying assets will normally be partially loan-financed. An increase in interest rates will lead to higher financing costs, which reduces the Group's profitability. The Company has reduced interest rate risk by fixing the interest rates for 10 – 21 years in certain projects. As a result of this, Cloudberry do not expect any significant change to the Group's expected cash flows from existing projects though long-term interest rates have increased significantly during 2022.

Higher inflation might lead to higher power prices and higher opex and capex costs. Higher power prices will increase Cloudberry's revenue while general cost inflation will drive up prices both on the operations but also the capital expenses in the construction phase. Odal Vind AS has been affected by the Covid-19 pandemic and to a certain extent increased costs as a result of inflation.

Exchange rates

Norwegian power companies sell the power through Nord Pool. Trades on Nord Pool are settled in EUR but can immediately be exchanged to NOK. Any fluctuations in exchange rates between NOK, SEK and EUR affect the Group's business, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition and/or prospects. Additionally, the Group has employees and operations in Sweden, which also exposes the Group to currency risk.

In the Group's construction projects, there are often a variety of contracts nominated in EUR and NOK and sometimes also SEK. The Group does currently not have any currency hedging but have deposits in all three currencies to match the liabilities going forward.

General economic conditions

A downturn in general economic conditions can potentially affect the Company in several ways.

The Covid-19 pandemic resulted in a general decrease in the activity level in Norway and Sweden and thus reduced demand for power which had a negative impact on the power prices in 2020. On the contrary increased activity in 2021/2022 and the war in Ukraine has resulted an energy crisis in Europe giving historically high-power prices in the southern areas of the Nordics.

A majority of Cloudberry's production segment is sensitive to short-term changes in electricity pricing. In 2021, about 90% of Cloudberry's fully owned produced volumes were affected by short-term fluctuations in energy pricing, while about 10% was fixed on long-term agreements. In our development segment, our projects have low sensitivity to short-term prices and our valuation is based on long-term expectations. Long-term power expectations normally have low volatility, and range between EUR 45 – 55 per MWh (NOK 45 – 55 øre/kWh). Cloudberry uses third party analysis from Volue as part of its strategy for financial modelling and decision making.

Trends within the industry

The global energy transition is well under way, and Europe, in particular, has set ambitious new targets for climate-neutrality. The region needs to double its share of electricity produced from renewable sources by 2030 to meet stricter emissions-reduction targets. The war in Ukraine might accelerate the transition further as larger parts of Europe are looking to become less dependent on Russian gas. The Nordics, with its rich hydro and wind power opportunities, will be an important part of the solution. Cloudberry has a clear ambition to contribute substantially to this expansion through organic greenfield developments, and by supporting structural changes in the Nordic renewable energy industry. Cloudberry is committed to the renewable energy transition and believe the power prices in Europe will be converging with new interconnectors.

Unexpected success in other areas of renewable energy may however reduce the pressure on the authorities to allow for development of wind parks and hydropower plants. This may affect the Group's future investment opportunities and reduce the second-hand value of its power plants. The same may also hold true for non-renewable or currently unknown energy technologies.

Ability to develop new projects

Cloudberry's develop segment holds a portfolio of renewable projects in Sweden and Norway and is responsible for developing the projects with external construction partners.

Cloudberry has an experienced development office in Karlstad, Sweden that has developed 10 projects and more than 300 MW of ready to construct projects. The development team was recently strengthened with a new and dedicated team in Gothenburg. The team focuses on industrial projects and shallowwater projects in the Baltic. The development team has a proven record developing both on and offshore licenses. The team sees several opportunities in both Norway and Sweden. With new and better technology, the team can focus on less impacted areas in order to develop sustainable projects.

The development segment is sensitive to the long-term price expectations of power prices. If the longterm expectations fall, the development projects will most likely be less valuable and therefore more difficult or impossible to finance and realise.

Acquisitions

Cloudberry's production segment has been active in the merger & acquisition market during 2020 – 2022. During 2020, low power prices and the Covid-19 pandemic resulted in several short-term opportunities and acquisition targets. For 2021 and the first quarter of 2022 the power prices have been on historical high levels. This has resulted in a highly selective acquisition process where Cloudberry has focused on local opportunities and avoided larger and more structured M&A processes where Cloudberry competes with larger European investors.

Increased focus on renewables and CO2 emissions can lead to increased competition and less available acquisition targets. To mitigate this risk, Cloudberry is focusing on an exclusive development-pipeline of in-house projects. When acquiring an asset Cloudberry seeks to secure the funding immediately, even though the financial liability is not payable immediately. Cloudberry will use its cash balance, debt market, share consideration or new equity to finance acquisitions.

A larger producing portfolio will reduce certain overhead costs and make the Group's operations more cost efficient.

Tax Rates

The Company is subject to corporate tax of 22% and 21.8% in Norway and Sweden respectively.

Norwegian wind farms have historically only been subject to ordinary taxation, including property tax where applicable. However, with effect from 1 July 2022, the Norwegian government implemented a production fee on power from wind farms at NOK 0.01/kWh (approx. 1 EUR/MWh). In October 2022 it was proposed that the production fee is increased to NOK 0.02/kWh (approx. 2 EUR/MWh). With respect to land-based wind farms (both existing and new) which are subject to license requirement and hydropower plants with an installed effect of minimum 1 MW, the Norwegian government has proposed to introduce a high price contribution tax levied on energy sold at a price above NOK 0.70/kWh at a rate of 23%, with effect from 1 January 2023. The high price contribution tax is not expected to be deductible in the calculation of corporate income tax or resource rent tax. Further, the Norwegian government has informed that they plan to introduce a resource rent tax and natural resource tax for land-based wind farms (both existing and new) which are subject to license requirement, with effect from 1 January 2023. The Norwegian government's plan is to publish a consultation paper during the autumn of 2022, and for the Parliament to resolve legislation relating to the new taxation during spring 2023.

Weather conditions

Weather conditions will impact the volumes produced and the prices obtained in the spot market. Strong and constant wind speeds or large amount of precipitation will normally increase power produced and normally lower the short-term prices. Larger production will increase revenue while lower prices will lower the revenue. Since the neighboring farms normally will experience similar weather conditions, Cloudberry simulate the correlation effect in its financial models.

Weather will also influence the installation and delivery times. High winds (above 10 meter per second) will slow installation time, while snow and difficult driving conditions will delay transport. Frozen rivers can delay testing periods of equipment while roads can be less accessible when snow and ice melts. In most cases delays cause higher capex costs in the construction phase.

Goodwill

The Group had NOK 38.2 million in goodwill 31 December 2021, compared to NOK 36.9 million 31 December 2020. The goodwill is mainly derived from Cloudberry Develop AS' acquisition of Scanergy AS in February 2020 due to large pipeline of project prospects within wind on land and shallow water, the know-how and business connections, the record of accomplishments over the past 10 years for the company acquired, as well as synergies. The remaining increase from 31 December 2020 is related to Selselva power plant acquired in January 2021.

As per 31 December 2020 goodwill was NOK 36.9 million compared with NOK 0 million 31 December 2019.

Investment in associated companies

The Group had NOK 677.4 million in investment in associated companies on 31 December 2021, up from 337.1 million on 31 December 2020. The increase during 2021 is mainly related to the remaining payment of equity of Odal Vind AS related to 15% ownership, and payment for increased ownership from 15% per 31 December 2020 to 33.4% in July 2021, further described in Section 7.3.1.5 (Acquisition of additional 18.4% of the shares of Odal Vind AS). The remaining is related to the year's net income from investment in associated companies.

As per 31 December 2020 investment in associated companies was NOK 337.1 million compared with NOK 0 million 31 December 2019.

Financial assets and other non-current assets

The Group had NOK 10.4 million in financial assets and other non-current assets 31 December 2020, compared to NOK 2.4 million on 31 December 2020. The increase during 2021 related to derivative contracts with applied hedge accounting and amortised borrowing costs.

As a result of (i) the number of acquisitions within the Group and (ii) the numerous power plants under construction, the Group's production of power has increased significantly from 2021 to 2022 and will continue to increase as plants currently under constructions are completed. Other significant developments are the new tax proposal of the Norwegian government, as further described inter alia in Section 6.7.2 (Overview of legal framework for key activities in Norway), the recent development in power prices, further described in Sections 6.5 (Nordic power prices) and 7.4.3 (Power prices in 2021), and the conditions mentioned in Section 10.10 (Significant changes).

Other than mentioned in Section 10.10 (Significant changes), the Group has not experienced any significant changes in its financial performance in the period between 31 December 2021 and date of this Prospectus.

10.3 Liquidity and capital resources

Sources of liquidity

The main source of liquidity for the Group has been the cash flows from financing activities, mainly through issuance of new shares. For year to date per 30 September 2022, cash flows from operations, mainly related to power sales, also represented a material source of liquidity. In 2021, the cash flow from operating activities was NOK -70.7 million. Cash flow from investing activities, which is made up of investment in associated companies and shares in subsidiaries and property plant and equipment (power plants under construction) was NOK -828.9 million. In total, the Group had a net cash flow of NOK 511.7 million in 2021. As of 31 December 2021, the Group had total equity of NOK 2,636 million, corresponding to an equity ratio of 85%, cash and cash equivalents of NOK 1,115 million, and interestbearing debt of NOK 308.8 million (including lease liability).

For year to date per 30 September 2022, the cash flow from operating activities was NOK 152.7 million. Cash flow from investing activities, which is made up of investment in associated companies and shares in subsidiaries and property plant and equipment (power plants under construction) was NOK -197.2 million. In total, the Group had a net cash flow of NOK 739.1 million for year to date per 30 September 2022. As of 30 September 2022, the Group had total equity of NOK 3,752 million, corresponding to an equity ratio of 78%, cash and cash equivalents of NOK 1,853 million, and interest-bearing debt of NOK 375 million (including lease liability).

As of 31 December 2021, the Group had net borrowings related to power plants, producing and under construction, of NOK 304 million, while it was NOK 362 million per 30 September 2022.

In March 2021 the Group secured and signed a term loan facility with SpareBank 1 SR-Bank ASA of NOK 400 million, and a related revolving credit facility of NOK 300 million. In November 2021, the Group increased the NOK 700 million credit facility to NOK 1 400 million, with a possibility to increase the facility with additional NOK 500 million. The term loan facility has refinanced the two existing term loans related to Røyrmyra and Finnesetbekken. In relation to the acquisition of Selselva Kraft AS, Bjørgelva Kraft AS and Nessakraft AS, the Group has drawn NOK 49.3 million, NOK 24.3 million and NOK 87 million respectively.

For details about the conditions and covenants for these debt facilities see Section 10.4.1 (Borrowings) below.

In June 2021, the Company raised NOK 1,035 million in net proceeds in a private placement. The net proceeds from the private placement are and will be used for i) the construction of the two in-house wind development projects at Hån and Duvhällen (NOK ~470 million), ii) a capital structure adjustment in the Odal windfarm development (NOK ~70 million), and iii) executing on M&A opportunities, accelerated development of project portfolio, working capital requirements and general corporate purposes, such as financing of the Group's operating costs.

In September 2022, the Company raised NOK 766 million in net proceeds in a private placement. The net proceeds from the Private Placement will be used as follows: As communicated in the Company's Q2 report, the Company's total portfolio comprises 324 MW, of which 270 MW has financing. NOK 500 million will be used towards funding the remaining c. 50 MW in the portfolio. NOK 266 million will be used towards optimising and enhancing the capacity of the Company's existing assets and towards M&A, both identified and future opportunities.

Going forward it is expected that liquidity from operating activities will continue to represent a material source of liquidity through increased electricity production, as new power plants are expected to contribute with positive cash flow from operations once production commence. A more detailed description of the timing and status on the new power plants is set out in the table in Section 7.2 (Overview of the Group's operations and activities). The Group's ability to generate continuous cash from operations depends on future operating performance and power prices, which is dependent, to some extent, on general economic, financial, competitive, market regulatory and other factors, many of which are beyond the Group's control, as well as other factors described in Section 2 (Risk factors) of this Prospectus.

The Group reports in NOK and has NOK as its functional currency. However, the associated companies Odal Vind AS and Forte Energy Norway AS reports in EUR and has EUR as its functional currency. The Group currently does not use hedging derivates or other methods to minimise the impact of foreign exchange risks. At the end of 2021, the Group held 85.9% of cash holdings in NOK, 13.7% in EUR, 0.3% in SEK and 0% in other currencies. As of 30 September 2022, the Group held 94.7% of cash holdings in NOK, 1.7% in EUR, 3.6% in SEK and 0% in other currencies.

Cash holdings and access to credit facilities as described above should provide the Group with the needed liquidity to maintain a sound cash balance. The Group believes that these sources of liquidity will be sufficient to meet requirements and commitments in the foreseeable future. However, if the Group is to pursue further growth through M&A activities or develop additional projects in-house, the Group will need to raise additional capital. The Group's actual financing requirements depend on a number of factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Group.

Restrictions on use of capital

The Group does not have any restrictions on use of capital that can have a material impact on the Group's operations.

Cash flow from operating activities

Cash flow from operating activities originate from sale of power, Electricity Certificates, Guarantees of Origin, insurance settlement for development project and management fee services, less cash used in operations. In 2021, 80% of revenues were from sale of power and electricity related products. Cash flow from operating activities also accounts for non-capitalised changes in the balance sheet such as trade receivables and contract assets. The decrease in cash flow from operating activities between 2021 and 2020, is mainly due to reduced profit/(loss) before tax and change in non-current items. The increase in revenue is described in Section 10.1 (Results by operating business segment and geographic area). A more detailed break-down of the cash flow elements can be found in Section 9.5 (Selected statement of cash flow) and in the 2021 annual report, incorporated by reference in Section 20.3.

In 2022, cash flow from operating activities will include cash flow from the operations segment, which mainly is related to operations of power plants and associated services. Apart from this there has been no material changes in the Group's cash flow from operating activities that deviates from the Group's ordinary course of business.

Cash flow from investing activities

Cash flow from investing activities mainly cover investments in shares in associated companies as well as purchases of shares in subsidiaries and investment in property, plant and equipment. The change in cash flow from investing activities is mainly due to increased M&A activity in 2021 compared to 2020. Cash flow from investment in property, plant and equipment was NOK -179.5 million in 2021 and was mainly related to investment in the construction projects Skåråna and Hån. Net cash flow from acquisitions of shares in subsidiaries was NOK -318.3 million in 2021 and was related to acquisitions of the fully owned power plants Selselva Kraft, Nessakraft, Bjørgelva Kraft, Usma Kraft and Åmotsfoss Kraft, see Section 7.3.1 (Transactions completed in 2021) for further information. Cash flow from investments in associated companies was NOK -331.8 million in 2021 and was related to a pro-rata equity contribution and purchase of additional shares (going from 15% to 33.4% ownership) in Odal Vind AS.

In 2022, cash flow from investment activities mainly comprise investments in property, plant and equipment and intangibles of NOK 168.4 million, mainly related to Hån and Skåråna and intangible assets in Captiva, proceeds from sale of Jåstadkraft and the Stenkalles project of NOK 62 million, net liquidity outflow from acquisition of shares of NOK 69.9 million (Cativa Group, Tinnkraft AS, Munkhyttan Vindkraft AB, Re Energi AS, Enestor AS and Bøen Kraft AS, and investment in associated companies of NOK 31 million related to Odal Vind AS.

Apart from the investments described in 7.3.2 (Transactions completed in 2022) and the cash flows as described in Section 8.1 (Introduction), there are no other material changes in the cash flow from investment activities after 30 September 2022.

Cash flow from financing activities

Cash flow from financing activities stem from capital raises, borrowings, lease payments and related interest. During 2021, the Group raised NOK 1,646.9 million through capital raises, which mainly explains the increase in cash flows since 2020. During 2021 the Group transferred NOK 152.4 million from an escrow account related to the investment in Odal Vind AS and withdrew NOK 84.8 million related to new restricted cash. The Group repaid borrowings of NOK 282.6 million related to refinancing of long-term debt, and had proceeds of new long-term debt of NOK 226.3 million, and also repaid the short-term loan of NOK 236.7 million from the acquisition of shares in Forte Energy Norway AS. The Group had principal lease payments of NOK 1 million in 2021, and interest payments of NOK 0.2 million. The increase in cash flow from financing activities compared to 2020 is mainly due to capital raisings.

In 2022 per 30 September, cash flow from financing activities mainly comprises net proceeds from share capital increase of NOK 766.1 million, net payment from escrow accounts of NOK 40 million, net proceeds and repayments of term loans of NOK -11.9 million, interest payments of NOK 10.9 million and lease payments (interest and repayment) of NOK 3.3 million.

The debt in Bøen Kraft AS was re-financed with cash in October 2022. The interest rate on the term loan is 3 months NIBOR plus margin of less than 2%.

The bank loan facilities' terms are at a market floating interest rate with a fixed interest rate swap to reduce the interest rate risk.

The following financial covenants apply to the credit facilities:

    1. Group consolidated equity ratio: minimum 30% Cloudberry Production AS equity ratio: minimum 30% Minimum Group equity: NOK 1 800 million Minimum equity Cloudberry Production AS: NOK 900 million
    1. Liquidity reserves Group level: minimum NOK 40 million
    1. Minimum 75% of interest rate exposure of the principal loans shall be hedged with a minimum duration of 5 years

Subject to that the financial covenants are met, the loan facilities do not contain any restrictions on the ability of Cloudberry's subsidiaries to transfer funds to Cloudberry in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances.

The following collateral apply to the credit facilities:

    1. Pledge related to Cloudberry Production AS:
    2. a. Pledge in shares in all subsidiaries with producing assets (SPV's)
    3. b. Pledge in shares in all associated companies
    4. c. Pledge in cash, inventory and receivables
    1. Pledge over shares in Cloudberry Develop AS
    1. Pledge applied for subsidiaries with producing assets:
    2. a. Pledge in cash and bank accounts
    3. b. Pledge in property plant and equipment
    4. c. Pledge in inventory and receivables
    5. d. Pledge in lease agreement for land and water/fall rights

The Group complied with these covenants as per 30 September 2022. No breach of the covenants has occurred between 30 September 2022 and the date of this Prospectus, and Cloudberry is at the date of this Prospectus not aware of any circumstances which may result in a breach of the covenants.

Contractual cash obligations and other commitments

The Group also has certain other contractual cash obligations and other commitments.

Lease obligation

The Group rents its offices as well as ground lease to landowners. The lease agreements are of varying lengths. Further details regarding the total lease obligations and the maturity analysis are found in Section 10.4.3 (Overview of consolidated contractual obligations) below.

Resell obligations

Further, Cloudberry Develop AS has made a provision for resell obligation to prior owners of development projects. The resell obligation is contingent on project realisation which requires a final investment decision. The final investment decision for the projects will trigger an agreed payment obligation which will fall due at that point. The resell obligation is to four former owners related to the Stenkalles Vind project. The total resell provision amounts to NOK 9.1 million and is not interest bearing. Note that the amounts are nominated in SEK and hence subject to currency fluctuations.

Asset retirement obligation

Provision for asset retirement costs is recognised when the Group has an obligation to dismantle and remove a hydro or wind power plant and to restore the site where it is located after a concession period or lease period is over.

A provision for asset retirement obligation related to Røyrmyra wind farm is recognised in the consolidated Group accounts. The estimated cost for retirement is based on expected cost at the expiry of the concession, this is based on an estimate of today's cost and adjusted for future expected inflation and discounted with the Groups estimated long-term borrowing cost. The expected settlement date is at the end of the concession period, end of 2040. The provision for the asset retirement obligation amounts to NOK 0.9 million per 31 December 2021.

As per 30 September 2022 the Group has made a provision for asset retirement obligation related to the Kafjärden project, which was acquired in 2022, see Section 7.3.2.4 (Acquisition of the Kafjärden project), of NOK 11.3 million. As per 30 September 2022 the total provision for asset retirement amounts to NOK 12.2 million.

Asset retirement obligations have not been made for the Group's current hydro plants. The concessions for the hydro power plants do not have an expiry date, and the useful life of the equipment is estimated to be longer than the lease periods. It is currently assessed that because the power plants would continue to be revenue generating power producing plants, after the end of the lease periods, it is assumed that either the landowners (if the exercise their option to acquire the equipment), or the Group (which have the right to prolong the lease period if option to acquire the equipment is not exercised) will continue the use of the plants and therefore not decommission the equipment. The lease expiry dates are between 40-60 years and the assessment will be updated over the useful life of the power plants and may change so that an asset retirement obligation will be made later, when material.

Contract termination obligation

The Group's subsidiary, Røyrmyra Vindpark AS entered into a fixed price contract related to the sale of electricity, Electricity Certificates and Guarantees of Origin related to the production from the Røyrmyra power plant. The original term of the contracts was until 2030. The parties agreed to terminate the contract with effect from 31 December 2021. Upon expiry of the contract, Røyrmyra Vindpark AS shall pay the counterparty a one-time compensation fee of NOK 4.6 million, the obligation is classified as current provision as per 31 December 2021. As per 30 September 2022 the provision amounts to NOK 4.6 million.

Contingent obligations not recognised

Cloudberry has signed sale and purchase agreement to acquire power plants which commits the Company. As per the date of this Prospectus it is related to one construction project, Øvre Kvemma Kraftverk AS, further described in Section 10.5.3 (Acquisitions) under the heading "Acquisitions expected to be completed after the date of this Prospectus". The contingent obligation related to these are further described in Section 8.5 (Contingent and indirect indebtedness).

Treasury policies and funding

Cloudberry has a conservative approach to cash management. The Group invests in money market funds to secure that the Company has cash available to fund future cash needs. The money market funds are highly liquid (open ended funds with no holding requirements) and are considered low risk. The funds have low interest rate risk, low credit risk (above BBB+ rating) and strong diversification. The funds are listed in NOK, have low annual management fees and are classified as UCITS funds (subject to a harmonised regulatory framework from the European Commission). Cloudberry's investments in money market funds are classified as cash equivalents while Cloudberry's deposits in the Nordic saving banks are classified as cash.

To plan the Group's liquidity and funding need, the management reports to the board a three year forward rolling cash flow projection. The projection is updated minimum each quarter and monitors the Group's on-going/future projects and funding plans.

Within the Production and Corporate segment, the companies have a cash-pool arrangement with SR-Bank to allow for internal control and efficiency with regard to the liquidity of the Group. The Group's operational segment and the Swedish subsidiaries are funded through intra-group loans or equity contributions.

Estimates and judgments are evaluated on a regularly basis and are based on historical experiences and other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the actual outcome.

The unaudited pro forma condensed financial information has been prepared by the Company for illustrative purposes only to show how the 2021 Acquisitions, 2022 Acquisitions and 2022 Sales transactions might have affected the Company's consolidated statement of profit and loss for the financial year ended 31 December 2021 as if the acquisitions and sales transactions had occurred on 1 January 2021.

The board authorisations allow the Board of Directors to deviate from the Shareholders' right to subscribe for a proportionate share of any share issue (i.e. if the authorisation is utilised in a private placement).

As the Company is in a growth phase the Board of Directors will generally propose that the General Meeting grants the Board of Directors an authorisation to increase the share capital with up to 25% of the share capital. Such authorisations will be reserved for the use in relation to financing of strategic growth opportunities and will only be valid until the earliest of (i) the next annual General Meeting or (ii) 30 June the next year.

13.4 Financial instruments

Except for the warrants described in Section 12.3 (Remuneration and benefits) neither the Company nor any member of the Group has issued any options, warrants, convertible loans or other instruments that would entitle a holder of any such instrument to subscribe for any shares in the Company or a member of the Group.

13.5 Shareholder rights

The Company has one class of shares in issue and all Shares provide equal rights in the Company, including the rights to any dividends. Each of the Company's shares carries one vote. The rights attached to the Shares are further described in Section 14.3 (The Articles of Association) and Section 15 (Norwegian corporate law).

14.3 The Articles of Association

The Articles are enclosed in Appendix A to the Prospectus. Below is a summary of the provisions of the Articles last updated on 24 October 2022.

Purpose of the Company

Pursuant to section 3 of the Articles the purpose of the Company is, as the parent company in the Group, to engage in investment activities in the energy sector, including developing and operating the production of renewable energy and activities naturally connected with this.

Share capital and nominal value

Pursuant to section 4 of the Articles the share capital of the Company is NOK 72,824,976.25 divided among 291,299,905 shares each with a nominal value of NOK 0.25. The Shares are registered with a central securities depository (VPS).

The Company's has no share classes and thus the shares carry equal rights.

Restrictions on transfer of shares

The Articles do not provide for any restrictions on the transfer of Shares.

Board of Directors

Pursuant to section 5 of the Articles, the Company's Boards of Directors shall consist of a minimum of three and a maximum of eight Shareholder elected members.

Signatory right

The right to sign on behalf of the Company is pursuant to section 6 of the Articles held by the CEO and the chairperson of the Board of Directors acting jointly or by two members of the Board of Directors acting jointly.

General Meeting

Pursuant to section 7 of the Articles, the Shareholders of the Company who wish to participate in a General Meeting must notify the Company by the time specified in the notice. The deadline cannot be earlier than 5 days prior the date of the General Meeting.

If documents regarding matters to be considered by the General Meeting are made available for the Shareholders on the Company's web page, the requirements in the Public Companies Act prescribing that documents must be sent by mail to the Shareholders shall not apply. On the internet site such documents are only sent to Shareholders if so required by the Shareholder. This applies also to documents that pursuant to the Public Companies Act or the Articles of Association shall be included in or attached to the notice of the General Meeting.

Shareholders may give their vote ahead of the General Meeting, both in writing or by use of electronic device, if provided for in the notice with detailed instructions.

The General Meeting shall approve the annual accounts and decide on dividends, as well as other matters required to be dealt with by the General Meeting in accordance with law or the Articles of Association.

Nomination committee

Pursuant to section 8 of the Articles, the Company shall have a nomination committee, elected by the General Meeting.

15 NORWEGIAN CORPORATE LAW

Certain aspects of Norwegian corporate law, which are considered important for potential investors are set out below. The following high-level introduction is not an exhausting list of corporate aspects to consider. Investors are thus advised to consult their own legal advisors concerning the overall consequences of their ownership of Shares.

15.1 Certain aspects of Norwegian corporate law

General Meetings

Through the General Meeting, Shareholders exercise the supreme authority in a Norwegian company. The annual General Meeting must be held within six months from the end of each financial year, meaning at latest on 30 June for companies which have a financial year which follows the calendar year. Norwegian law requires that written notice of annual General Meetings setting forth the time of, the venue for and the agenda of the meeting is sent to all Shareholders with a known address no later than 21 days before the annual General Meeting of a Norwegian public limited liability 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 by their own discretion. Pursuant to the Norwegian Securities Trading Act, a proxy voting form shall be attached to the notice of the General Meeting in a Norwegian public limited liability company listed on a stock exchange or a regulated market, unless such form has been made available to the shareholders on the issuer's website and the notice to the General Meeting includes all information the shareholders need to access the proxy voting form, including the relevant internet address.

All of the Company's Shareholders who are registered in the register of Shareholders maintained with the VPS at least five business days before the date of the General Meeting, or who have otherwise reported and documented ownership to Shares, are entitled to participate at General Meetings. The Company's Articles of Association do however include a provision requiring shareholders to submit an attendance form by a deadline which shall be no less than five days prior to the General Meeting.

Apart from the annual General Meetings, 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 liability 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 days' notice period until the next annual General Meeting, provided that the Company has procedures in place allowing Shareholders to vote electronically. This has currently not been resolved by the Company's General Meeting.

Voting rights and amendments of the Articles of Association

Each of the Company's 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 authorise an increase or reduction of the share capital, to authorise an issuance of convertible loans or warrants by the Company or to authorise the Board of Directors to purchase Shares and hold them as treasury shares or to dissolve the Company, must receive at least two-thirds of the aggregate number of votes cast as well as at least two-thirds of the share capital represented at the 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 at least 90% of the share capital represented at the General Meeting in question vote in favour of the resolution, as well as the majority required for amending the Articles of Association. Certain types of changes in the rights of Shareholders require the consent of all Shareholders affected thereby as well as the majority required for amending the Articles of Association.

In general, only a Shareholder registered in the VPS is entitled to vote for such shares. Beneficial owners of 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 nominee 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 nominee account to an account in the Shareholder's name. Such registration must appear from a transcript from the VPS at the latest the fifth trading day prior to the General Meeting.

There are no quorum requirements that apply to the general meetings of Norwegian public limited liability companies.

Additional issuances and preferential rights

If the Company issues any new shares, including bonus share issues, the Company's Articles of Association must be amended, which requires the same votes 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, authorise the Board of Directors to issue new Shares, and to derogate from the preferential rights of Shareholders in connection with such issuances. Such authorisation 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 nominal share capital when the authorisation 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. Shareholders in other jurisdictions outside Norway may be similarly affected if the rights and the new shares being offered have not been registered with, or approved by, the relevant authorities in such jurisdiction. To the extent that the Company's Shareholders are not able to exercise their rights to subscribe for new shares, their proportional interests in the Company will be reduced.

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 favours 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 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.

The Company may purchase its own Shares provided that the Board of Directors has been granted an authorisation to do so by the 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 authorisation by the General Meeting of the Company cannot be granted for a period exceeding 24 months.

Shareholder vote on certain reorganisations

A decision of the Company's Shareholders to merge with another company or to demerge requires a resolution by the General Meeting of the Shareholders passed by at least two-thirds of the aggregate votes cast and at least two-thirds of the share capital represented at the 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

Members of the Board of Directors 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.

Members of the Board of Directors may each be held liable for any damage they negligently or wilfully cause the Company. Norwegian law permits the General Meeting to discharge any such person from liability, but such discharge is only binding for the Company if substantially correct and complete information was provided at the General Meeting, which resolved to discharge liability. If a resolution to discharge the 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 (i.e. at least two-thirds of the aggregate number of votes cast as well as at least two-thirds of the share capital represented at the General Meeting), 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 Board Members from liability or not to pursue claims against the 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 board members

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 its 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.

15.2 Shareholder agreements

The Company is not aware of any shareholders' agreements related to the Shares which are in force at the date of this Prospectus.

16 SECURITIES TRADING IN NORWAY

Set out below is a summary of certain aspects of securities trading in Norway and the possible implications of owning tradable securities on the Oslo Stock Exchange. The summary is based on the rules and regulations in Norway at the date of this Prospectus, which may be subject to changes occurring after such date. Investors who wish to clarify aspects of securities trading in Norway should consult with and rely upon their own advisors.

16.1 Introduction

Oslo Stock Exchange was established in 1819 and offers the only regulated markets for securities trading in Norway. Oslo Børs ASA is wholly owned by Euronext Nordics Holding AS. Euronext owns regulated markets across Europe, including Amsterdam, Brussels, Dublin, Lisbon, London, Oslo and Paris.

Oslo Børs ASA complies with the European code of conduct commitments on service unbundling and accounting separation. Euronext Nordic Holding AS also owns VPS – now Euronext Securities Oslo.

16.2 Market value of shares trading on Oslo Stock Exchange

The market value of shares listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange, including the Shares, may fluctuate significantly, which could cause investors to lose a significant part of their investment. The market value could fluctuate significantly in response to a number of factors beyond the respective issuer's control, including variations in operating results, adverse business developments, changes in financial estimates and investment recommendations or ratings by securities analysts, announcements by the respective issuer or its competitors of new projects, significant contracts, acquisitions or strategic relationships, publicity about the issuer, its projects or its competitors, lawsuits against the issuer, unforeseen liabilities, changes in management, changes to the regulatory environment in which the issuer operates or general market conditions.

Furthermore, issuances of shares or other securities may dilute the holdings of shareholders and could materially affect the price of the Shares. Any issuer, including the Company, may in the future decide to offer additional shares or other securities to finance new capital-intensive projects, in connection with unanticipated liabilities or expenses or for any other purposes, including for refinancing purposes. There are no assurances that any of the issuers on the Oslo Stock Exchange will not decide to conduct further offerings of securities in the future. Depending on the structure of any future offering, certain existing shareholders may not have the ability to purchase additional equity securities. If a listed company raises additional funds by an issuance of additional equity securities, the holdings and voting interests of existing shareholders could be diluted, and thereby affect share price.

16.3 Trading and settlement

Trading of equities on the Oslo Stock Exchange is carried out in the electronic trading system Optiq®, which is the electronic trading system of Euronext.

Official trading on the Oslo Stock Exchange takes place between 09:00 hours (CET/CEST) and 16:20 hours (CET/CEST) each trading day, with pre-trade period between 07:15 hours (CET) and 09:00 hours (CET/CEST), closing auction from 16:20 hours (CET/CEST) to 16:25 hours (CET/CEST) and a trading at last period from 16:25 hours (CET/CEST) to 16:30 hours (CET/CEST).

The settlement period for trading on the Oslo Stock Exchange is two trading days (T+2). This means that securities will be settled on the investor's account in the VPS two trading days after the transaction was made, and that the seller will receive payment after two trading days.

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 NFSA 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.

16.4 Information, control and surveillance

Under Norwegian law, the Oslo Stock Exchange is required to perform a number of surveillance and control functions. 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 NFSA 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.

Pursuant to Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council on market abuse (market abuse regulation) ("MAR"), which has been implemented into 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 (i.e. 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 and the NFSA may levy fines on companies violating these requirements.

16.5 The VPS and the transfer of Shares

The Company's principal share register is operated through the VPS. The VPS is the Norwegian paperless centralised securities register. It is a computerised book-keeping system in which the ownership of, and all transactions relating to, Norwegian listed shares must be recorded.

All transactions relating to securities registered with the VPS are made through computerised 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, the Central Bank of Norway), authorised 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 NFSA on an ongoing basis, as well as any information that the NFSA 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.

16.6 Shareholder register – Norwegian law

Under Norwegian law, shares are registered in the name of the beneficial owner of the shares. Beneficial owners of the Shares that are registered in a nominee account (such as through brokers, dealers or other third parties) may not be able to vote for such Shares unless their ownership is re-registered in their names with the VPS prior to any General Meeting. 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 NFSA. 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. There is no assurance that beneficial owners of the Shares will receive the notice of any General Meeting in time to instruct their nominees to either effect a re-registration of their Shares or otherwise vote for their Shares in the manner desired by such beneficial owners.

See Section 15.1.2 (Voting rights and amendments of the Articles of Association) for more information of nominee accounts.

16.7 Foreign investment in shares listed in Norway

Foreign investors may trade shares listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange through any broker that is a member of the Oslo Stock Exchange, whether Norwegian or foreign.

Foreign investors should note that the rights of holders of shares of companies incorporated in Norway are governed by Norwegian law and by the respective company's articles of association. These rights may differ from the rights of the 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 a company in respect of wrongful acts committed against such 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. See Section 15.1.1 (Certain aspects of Norwegian corporate law) for more information.

16.8 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.

16.9 Insider trading

According to MAR, which has been implemented into 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 MAR article 7. 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.

16.10 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 (or more than 40% or 50%) of the voting rights of a company listed on a Norwegian regulated market (with the exception of certain foreign companies) 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 onethird 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) 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.

16.11 Compulsory acquisition

Pursuant to the Public 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 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 authorised 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 Public 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.

16.12 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 NFSA have electronic access to the data in this register.

17 TAXATION

Set out below is a summary of certain tax matters related to an investment in the Company. 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. The tax legislation in the Company's jurisdiction of incorporation and the tax legislation in the jurisdictions in which the Shareholders are resident for tax purposes may have an impact on the income received from Shares in the Company. Investors are advised to consult their own tax advisors concerning the overall tax consequences of their ownership of Shares.

17.1 Norwegian taxation

This Section 17.1 describes certain tax rules in Norway applicable to Shareholders who are resident in Norway for tax purposes ("Norwegian Shareholders") and to Shareholders who are not resident in Norway for tax purposes ("Foreign Shareholders"). The statements herein regarding taxation are based on the laws in force in Norway as of the date of this Prospectus and are subject to any changes in law occurring after such date. Such changes could possibly be made on a retrospective basis.

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.

Taxation of dividends

Norwegian Individual Shareholders

Dividends received by Shareholders who are individuals resident in Norway for tax purposes ("Norwegian Individual Shareholders") are taxable as ordinary income for such Shareholders at an effective rate of 35.2% (the nominal rate is 22% but the taxable income is multiplied with a factor of 1.6) to the extent the dividend exceeds a tax-free allowance. It has been proposed that the effective tax rate on dividends for Norwegian Individual Shareholders is increased to 37.84% with retroactive effect from 6 October 2022.

The allowance is calculated on a share-by-share basis. The allowance for each share is equal to the cost price of the share multiplied by a determined risk-free interest rate based on the effective rate on treasury bills (Nw.: statskasseveksler) with three months' maturity plus 0.5 percentage points, after tax. 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 Corporate Shareholders

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 0.66% (3% of dividend income from such shares is included in the calculation of ordinary income for Norwegian Corporate Shareholders and subject to tax at a flat rate of currently 22%).

Foreign Shareholders

Dividends paid from a Norwegian limited liability company to Foreign Shareholders are subject to Norwegian withholding tax at a rate of 25% unless the recipient qualifies for a reduced rate according to an applicable tax treaty or other specific regulations. The Shareholder's country of residence may give credit for the Norwegian withholding tax imposed on the dividend.

If a Foreign Shareholder is carrying on business activities in Norway and the Shares are effectively connected with such activities, the Foreign Shareholder should be subject to the same taxation of dividend as a Norwegian Shareholder, as described above.

Foreign Shareholders that are corporate Shareholders (i.e. limited liability companies and similar entities) ("Foreign Corporate Shareholders") tax resident within the EEA are exempt from Norwegian withholding tax pursuant to the Norwegian participation exemption method provided that the Foreign Corporate Shareholder is genuinely established and carries out genuine economic activities within the EEA.

Dividends paid to Foreign Shareholders that are individual Shareholders (i.e. other shareholders than Foreign Corporate Shareholders) ("Foreign Individual Shareholders") are as the main rule subject to Norwegian withholding tax at a rate of 25%, unless a lower rate has been agreed in an applicable tax treaty. If the individual Shareholder is tax resident within the EEA, the Shareholder may apply to the tax authorities for a refund of an amount corresponding to the calculated tax-free allowance on each individual share. However, the deduction for the tax-free allowance does not apply in the event that the withholding tax rate, pursuant to an applicable tax treaty, leads to a lower taxation on the dividends than the withholding tax rate of 25% less the tax-free allowance.

In accordance with the present administrative system in Norway, a distributing company will generally deduct withholding tax at the applicable rate when dividends are paid directly to an eligible Foreign Shareholder, based on information registered with the VPS. Foreign Corporate and Individual Shareholders must document their entitlement to a reduced withholding tax rate by (i) obtaining a certificate of residence issued by the tax authorities in the Shareholder's country of residence, confirming that the Shareholder is tax resident in that state and (ii) providing a confirmation from the Shareholder that the Shareholder is the beneficial owner of the dividend. In addition, Foreign Corporate Shareholders must also present either (i) an approved withholding tax refund application or (ii) an approval from the Norwegian tax authorities confirming that the recipient is entitled to a reduced withholding tax rate or a withholding tax exemption. Foreign Corporate Shareholders claiming exemption under the Norwegian participation exemption must also provide a self-declaration form. Such documentation must be provided to either the nominee or the account operator (VPS). Dividends paid to Foreign Shareholders in respect of nominee registered shares are not eligible for reduced treaty withholding tax rate at the time of payment unless the nominee, by agreeing to provide certain information regarding beneficial owner, has obtained approval for reduced treaty withholding tax rate from the Norwegian tax authorities. The withholding obligation lies with the company distributing the dividends and the Company assumes this obligation.

Foreign Individual and Corporate Shareholders who have suffered a higher withholding tax than set out in an applicable tax treaty may apply to the Norwegian tax authorities for a refund of the excess withholding tax deducted. The same apply to Foreign Corporate Shareholders that have suffered withholding tax although qualifying for the Norwegian participation exemption.

Foreign Shareholders should consult their own advisers regarding the availability of treaty benefits in respect of dividend payments.

Taxation of capital gains on realisation of shares

Norwegian Individual Shareholders

Sale, non-proportionate redemption, or other disposals of shares is considered as realisation for Norwegian tax purposes. A capital gain or loss derived by a Norwegian Individual Shareholder through realisation of shares is taxable or tax deductible in Norway. Such capital gain or loss is included in or deducted from the Shareholder's ordinary income in the year of disposal and taxable at an effective rate of 35.2% (the nominal rate is 22% but the taxable income or deductible loss is multiplied with a factor of 1.6). It has been proposed that the effective tax rate on capital gains on shares for Norwegian Individual Shareholders is increased to 37.84% with retroactive effect from 6 October 2022.

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 any unused tax-free allowance, cf. above. Any unused tax-free allowance may only be deducted in order to reduce a taxable gain, and cannot increase or produce a deductible loss, i.e. any unused tax-free allowance exceeding the capital gain upon the realisation of a share should be annulled.

If the Norwegian Individual Shareholder owns shares acquired at different points in time, the shares that were acquired first should be regarded as the first to be disposed of, on a first-in first-out basis.

Norwegian Corporate Shareholders

Norwegian Corporate Shareholders are exempt from tax on capital gains derived from the realisation of shares qualifying for participation exemption, including shares in the Company. Losses upon the realisation and costs incurred in connection with the purchase and realisation of such shares are not deductible for tax purpose.

Foreign Shareholders

Gains from realisation of Shares by Foreign Shareholders should not be subject to tax in Norway unless the Foreign Shareholders are holding 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

Norwegian Shareholders

The value of Shares is taken into account for net wealth tax purposes in Norway. The marginal net wealth tax rate is currently up to 1.1% of the value assessed. The value for assessment purposes for is 75% of the listed value of the Shares as of 1 January of the tax assessment year (i.e. the year following the income year).

Norwegian limited liability companies and similar entities are exempted from net wealth tax.

Foreign Shareholders

Foreign Shareholders 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 with a business which the Shareholder takes part in or carries out in Norway. Such taxation may be limited according to an applicable tax treaty.

VAT and transfer taxes

No VAT, stamp or similar duties are currently imposed in Norway on the transfer or issuance of shares.

18 THE COMPLETED PRIVATE PLACEMENT

18.1 Overview

On 22 September 2022, the Company announced the completion of the Private Placement, comprising a total of 51,612,903 new Shares, at a subscription price of NOK 15.50 per new Share (the "Private Placement Shares"), raising gross proceeds to the Company of approximately NOK 800 million. Costs, fees and expenses in relation to the Private Placement amounted to approximately NOK 36 million. Hence, the total net proceeds from the Private Placement were NOK 764 million.

The subscription price in the Private Placement was determined by the Board of Directors after consultation with the Managers and was fixed at NOK 15.50 per Share.

The minimum subscription and allocation amount in the Private Placement was set to the NOK equivalent of EUR 100,000, provided, however, that the Company reserved the right to allocate an amount below EUR 100,000 to the extent applicable exemptions from the prospectus requirement pursuant to the Norwegian Securities Trading Act and ancillary regulations, or similar legislation in other jurisdictions, were available.

The Private Placement Shares were placed by Carnegie AS and Pareto Securities AS as Joint Global Coordinators and Joint Bookrunners and Jefferies GmbH as Joint Bookrunner to selected investors in the application period after close of market on 22 September 2022. The Board of Directors resolved to issue the Private Placement Shares on 22 September 2022. The completion of the Private Placement implies a deviation from the existing shareholders' pre-emptive rights to subscribe for and be allocated new Shares.

18.2 Reasons for the offer and use of proceeds

Cloudberry has an ambitious growth strategy. The reason for the Private Placement was to finance acquisition and construction related costs and investments for the Company's in-house projects, and to pursue and realise additional attractive organic and inorganic growth opportunities, in accordance with the Company's strategic plans.

The net proceeds from the Private Placement will be used as follows:

  • i) funding of approx. 50 MW of its 324 MW portfolio (NOK 500 million); and
  • ii) optimising and enhancing the capacity of the Company's existing assets towards M&A (NOK 264 million), both identified and future opportunities.

Når dokumenter som gjelder saker som skal behandles i generalforsamlingen er gjort tilgjengelige for aksjonærene på selskapets internettsider, gjelder ikke allmennaksjelovens krav om at dokumentene skal sendes per post til aksjonærene. Dette gjelder også dokumenter som etter allmennaksjeloven eller vedtektene skal inntas i eller vedlegges innkallingen til generalforsamlingen. En aksjonær kan likevel kreve å få tilsendt dokumenter som gjelder saker som skal behandles i generalforsamlingen.

Adgangen til å avgi forhåndsstemme er betinget av at det foreligger en betryggende metode for autentisering av avsender.

Notwithstanding, a shareholder may demand to receive in printed form documents related to matters which are to be considered by the General Meeting.

The Board may resolve that shareholders may cast their votes in writing prior to the company's General Meetings. Such votes can also be cast by use of electronic communication.

General information and purpose of the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information

The unaudited pro forma condensed financial information has been prepared by the Company for illustrative purposes only to show how the 2021 Acquisitions, 2022 Acquisitions and 2022 Sales transactions might have affected the Company's consolidated statement of profit and loss for the financial year ended 31 December 2021, as if the acquisitions and sales transactions had occurred on 1 January 2021.

The unaudited pro forma condensed financial information is based on certain management assumptions and adjustments made to illustrate what the financial results of the Group might have been, had the Company completed the transactions at an earlier point of time.

Although the unaudited pro forma condensed financial information is based on estimates and assumptions based on current circumstances believed to be reasonable, actual results could materially differ from those presented herein. There is a greater degree of uncertainty associated with pro forma condensed financial information than with historical financial information. Because of its nature, the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information included herein addresses a hypothetical situation, and therefore does not represent the Company's consolidated actual financial results of operations for the financial year ended 31 December 2021 and is not representative of the results of operations and financial position of any future periods. The unaudited pro forma condensed financial information is prepared for illustrative purposes only. It does not purport to present what the Company's consolidated results of operations would have been had the acquisitions been completed on 1 January 2021.

It should be noted that greater uncertainty is associated with unaudited pro forma condensed financial information than actual historical financial information. Prospective investors are cautioned against placing undue reliance on this unaudited pro forma condensed financial information.

The assumptions underlying the pro forma adjustments applied to the historical are described in the notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed financial information. Neither these adjustments nor the resulting Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial have been audited in accordance with Norwegian or any other general accepted auditing standards.

NOTER TIL REGNSKAPET 31.01.2022

Reanskapsprinsipper Note 1

Årsregnskapet er satt opp i samsvar med regnskapslovens bestemmelser og god regnskapsskikk.

Konsolidering

Konsemregnskapet omfatter morselskapet Capital Services AS, datterselskaper og selskaper som Captiva Digital Services AS har bestemmende innflytelse over. Bestemmende innflytelse oppnås normalt når konsemet eier mer enn 50% av aksjene i selskapet, og konsernet er i stand til å utøve faktisk kontroll over selskapet. Minoritetsinteresser inngår i konsernegnskapet er utarbeidet som om konsernet var en økonomisk enhet. Transaksjoner og mellom selskapene i konsernet er eliminert. Konsernregnskapet er utarbeidet etter ensartede prinsipper, ved at datterselskapet følger de samme regnskapsprinsipper som morselskapet. Datterselskap som inngår i konsernet fremgår av note 6.

Oppkjøpsmetoden benyttes ved regnskapsføring av virksomhetssammenslutninger. Selskaper som er kjøpt eller solgt i løpet av året inkluderes i konsernregnskapet fra det tidspunktet kontroll oppnås og inntil kontroll opphører.

Tilknyttede selskaper er enheter hvor konsernet har betydelig (men ikke bestemmende) innflytelse, over den finansielle og operasjonelle styringen (normalt ved eierandel på mellom 20 %). Konsernegnskapet inkluderer konsernets andel av resullat fra tilknyttede selskaper regnskapsført etter egenkapitalmetoden fra det tidspunktet betydelig innflytelse oppnås og inntil slik innflytelse opphører.

Når konsernets tapsandel overstiger i et tilknyttet selskap, reduseres konsernets balanseførte verdi til null og ytterligere tap regnskapsføres ikke med mindre konsernet har en forpliktelse til å dekke dette tapet.

Konsernet er etablert 07.01.2022. Konsernregnskapet for januar 2022 viser konsernregnstall for 01.01.2022-31.12.2022 og sammenlignbare tall for 2021 forutsatt at konsernet var etablert 01.01.2021.

Datterselskap/tilknyttet selskap

Datterselskaper og tilknyttede selskaper vurderes etter kostmetoden i selskapsregnskapet. Investeringen er vurdert til anskaffelsest for aksjene med mindre nedskrivning har vært nødvendig. Det er foretatt nedskrivning til virkelig verdi når verdifall skyldes årsaker som ikke kan antas å være forbigående og det må anses nødvendig etter god regnskapsskikk. Nedskrivninger er reversert når grunnlaget for nedskrivning ikke lenger er til stede.

Utbytte og andre utdelinger er inntektsført samme år som det er avsatt i datterselskapet. Overstiger utbytte andel av tilbakeholdt resullat etter kjøpet, representerer den overskytende del tilbakebetaling av investert kapital, og utdelingene er fratrukket investeringens verdi i balansen.

Salgsinntekter

Inntektsføring ved salg av varer skjer på leveringstidsføres i tåkt med utførelsen. Leieinntekter inntekter inntektsøres etter avtalemessig opptjening. Innteksføring ved salg av strøm i datterselskapet Kraftanmelding AS er presentert netto, brutto salg av strøm på Nord pool minus varekjøp strøm til kraftselskapene. Se nærmere presentasjon av brutto salg og varekjøp i note 16 - salgsinntekter.

Klassifisering og vurdering av balanseposter

Omløpsmidler og kortsiktig gjeld omfatter poster som forfaller til betaling innen ett år etter balansedagen, samt poster som knytter seg til varekretsløpet. Øvrige poster er klassifisert som anleggsmiddel/langsiktig gjeld.

Omløpsmidler vurderes til laveste av anskaffelseskost og virkelig gjeld balanseføres til nominelt beløp på etableringstidspunktet.

Anleggsmidler vurderes til anskaffelseskost, men nedskrives til virkelig verdifall som ikke forventes å være forbigående. Anleggsmidler med begrenset økonomisk levetid avskrives planmessig. Langsiktig gjeld balanseføres til nominelt beløp på etableringstidspunktet.

Fordringer

Kundefordringer og andre fordringer er oppført i balansen til pålydende etter fradrag for avsetning til forventet tap. Avselning til tap gjøres på grunnlag av individuelle vurderingene. I tillegg gjøres det for øvrige kundefordringer en uspesifisert avselning for å dekke antatt tap.

Varige driftsmidler

Varige driftsmidler balanseføres og avskrives over driftsmidlets forventede økonomiske levelid. Direkte vedlikehold av driftsmidler kostnadsføres løpende under diftskostnader, mens påkoshinger tillegges driftsmidlets kostpris og avskrives i takt med driftsmidlet. Dersom gjenvinnbart beløp av diftsmiddelet er lavere enn balanseført verdi foretas nedskrivning til gjenvinnbart beløp. Gjenvinnbart beløp er det høyeste av netto salgsverdi i bruk. Verdi i bruk er nåverdien av de fremtidige kontantstrømmene som eiendelen vil generere. Kjøpt goodwill avskrives over 5 år.

Skatter

Skattekostnaden i resultatregnskapet omfatter både periodens betalbare skatt. Utsatt skatt. Utsatt skatt er beregnet med 22 % på grunnlag av de midlertidige forskjeller som eksisterer mellom regnskapsmessige verdier, samt ligningsmessig underskudd til fremføring ved utgangen av regnskapsåret. Skattereduserende midlertidige forskjeller som reverserer eller kan reversere i samme periode er utlignet og nettoført. Netto utsatt skattefordel balanseføres i den grad det er samnsynlig at denne kan bli nyttegjort. Ved beregning av utsatt skalt på merverdier i forbindelse med oppkjøpte selskap er en skattesats på 10 % benyttet.

Kontantstrømoppstilling

Kontantstrømoppstillingen er utarbeidet etter den indirekte metode. Kontanter og kontanter, bankinnskudd, herunder bundhe bankinnskudd og andre kortsiktige, likvide plasseringer. Viser ikke sammenlignbare tall for 2021.

Bruk av estimater

Ledelsen har brukt estimaler og forutselninger som har påvirket resullatregnskapet og gjeld, samt usikre eiendeler og forpliktelser på balansedagen under utarbeidelsen av årsregnskapet i henhold til god regnskapsskikk.

To the Board of Directors of Cloudberry Clean Energy ASA

Independent Practitioners' Assurance Report on the compilation of pro forma financial information included in a prospectus

We have completed our assurance engagement to report on the compilation of pro forma financial information of Cloudberry Clean Energy ASA (the "Company") by the Board of Directors and Management of the Company. The unaudited pro forma condensed financial information consists of the unaudited condensed pro forma profit and loss statement for the year ended 31 December 2021, and related notes which was approved by the Board of Directors on 10 November 2022 for inclusion in the prospectus to be issued by the Company in connection with the listing of 4,639,148 shares (the "Prospectus"). The applicable criteria on the basis of which the Board of Directors and Management have compiled the pro forma financial information are specified in Annex 20 to Commission delegated Regulation (EU) no. 2019/980 supplementing the EU Prospectus Regulation as incorporated in Norwegian law through section 7-1 of the Norwegian Securities Trading Act and described in notes to the pro forma financial information (the "applicable criteria"). The historical financial information of the entities acquired and sold during 2021 and 2022 from 1 January 2021 to their respective transaction dates used in the compilation of the Pro Forma Financial Information is unaudited and accordingly we do not accept any responsibility for that information. The historical information of Øvre Kvemma Kraftverk AS, Ramsliåna Kraftverk AS and Bøen AS for the year ended 31 December 2021 are audited by another auditor, and accordingly we do not accept responsibility for that information.

The pro forma financial information has been compiled by the Board of Directors and Management of the Company to illustrate the impact of the 2021 Acquisitions, the 2022 Acquisitions and the 2022 Sales Transactions (the "Transactions") on the Company's unaudited pro forma condensed profit and loss statement for the year ended 31 December 2021 as if the Transactions had taken place at 1 January 2021. As part of this process, information about the Company's and the acquired and sold entity's financial performance has been extracted by the Board of Directors and Management from the Company's and the acquired and the sold entity's financial statements and accounting records. The auditor's report on the Company's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021 has been incorporated by reference in section 20.3 of the prospectus.

The Board of Director's and Management's Responsibility for the Pro Forma Financial Information The Board of Directors and Management are responsible for compiling the pro forma financial information on the basis of the applicable criteria.

Our Independence and Quality Control

We have complied with the independence and other ethical requirement of the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants, which is founded on fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality and professional behavior.

The firm applies International Standard on Quality Control 1, Quality Control for Firms that Perform Audits and Reviews of Financial Statements, and Other Assurance and Related Services Engagements and accordingly maintains a comprehensive system of quality control including documented policies and procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Practitioner's Responsibilities

Our responsibility is to express an opinion, as required by Regulation (EU) no. 2019/980 about whether the pro forma financial information has been compiled by Board of Directors and Management of the Company on the basis of the applicable criteria.

We conducted our engagement in accordance with International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3420, Assurance Engagements to Report on the Compilation of Pro Forma Financial Information Included in a Prospectus, issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board. This standard requires that the practitioner plan and perform procedures to obtain reasonable assurance about whether Board of Directors and Management of the Company have compiled the pro forma financial information on the basis of the applicable criteria and whether this basis is consistent with the accounting policies of the Company. Our work primarily consisted of comparing the unadjusted financial information with the source documents as described in section 11 of the Prospectus, considering the evidence supporting the adjustments and discussing the Pro Forma Financial Information with Management of the Company.

The aforementioned opinion does not require an audit of historical unadjusted financial information, the adjustments to conform the accounting policies of the acquired entities to the accounting policies of the Company, or the assumptions summarized in notes to the pro forma financial information. For purposes of this engagement, we are not responsible for updating or reissuing any reports or opinions on any historical financial information used in compiling the pro forma financial information, nor have we, in the course of this engagement, performed an audit or review of the financial information used in compiling the pro forma financial information.

The purpose of pro forma financial information included in a prospectus is solely to illustrate the impact of the event or transaction on unadjusted financial information of the Company as if the event or transaction occurred or had been undertaken at an earlier date selected for purposes of the illustration. Because of its nature, the Pro Forma Financial Information addresses a hypothetical situation and, therefore, does not represent the Company's actual financial position or performance. Accordingly, we do not provide any assurance that the actual outcome of the event or transaction for the year ended 31 December 2021 would have been as presented.

A reasonable assurance engagement to report on whether the pro forma financial information has been compiled on the basis stated involves performing procedures to assess whether the

applicable criteria used by Board of Directors and Management of the Company in the compilation of the pro forma financial information provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects directly attributable to the event or transaction, and to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence about whether:

  • The related pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those criteria;
  • The pro forma financial information reflects the proper application of those adjustments to the unadjusted financial information; and
  • The pro forma financial information has been compiled on a basis consistent with the accounting policies of the Company.

The procedures selected depend on the practitioner's judgment, having regard to the practitioner's understanding of the nature of the company, the event or transaction in respect of which the pro forma financial information has been compiled, and other relevant engagement circumstances. The engagement also involves evaluating the overall presentation of the pro forma financial information.

We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion:

  • a) the pro forma financial information has been properly compiled on the basis stated in notes to the pro forma financial information; and
  • b) that basis is consistent with the accounting policies of the Company

This report is issued for the sole purpose of the listing of shares on Oslo Stock Exchange as set out in the Prospectus to be approved by the Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway. Our work has not been carried out in accordance with auditing, assurance or other standards and practices generally accepted in the United States and accordingly should not be relied upon as if it had been carried out in accordance with those standards and practices. Therefore, this report is not appropriate in other jurisdictions and should not be used or relied upon for any purpose other than the listing and issuance of shares described above. We accept no duty or responsibility to and deny any liability to any party in respect of any use of, or reliance upon, this report in connection with any type of transaction, including the sale of securities other than the listing of the shares on Oslo Stock Exchange and other regulated markets in the European Union or European Economic Area, as set out in the Prospectus to be approved by the Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway.

Vi har revidert selskapet Bøen Kraft AS' årsregnskap som viser et overskudd på kr 1 191 627. Årsregnskapet består av balanse per 31. desember 2021, resultatregnskap for regnskapsåret avsluttet per denne datoen og noter til årsregnskapet, herunder et sammendrag av viktige regnskapsprinsipper.

Etter vår mening

  • · oppfyller årsregnskapet gjeldende lovkrav, og
  • gir årsregnskapet et rettvisende bilde av selskapets finansielle stilling per 31. desember 2021 og av dets resultater for regnskapsåret avsluttet per denne datoen i samsvar med regnskapslovens regler og god regnskapsskikk i Norge.

Grunnlag for konklusjonen

Vi har gjennomført revisjonen i samsvar med de internasjonale revisjonsstandardene International Standards on Auditing (ISA-ene). Våre oppgaver og plikter i henhold til disse standardene er beskrevet nedenfor under Revisors oppgaver og plikter ved revisjonen av årsregnskapet. Vi er uavhengige av selskapet slik det kreves i lov, forskrift og International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (inkludert internasjonale uavhengjghetsstandarder) utstedt av the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA-reglene), og har overholdt våre øvrige etiske forpliktelser i samsvar med disse kravene. Innhentet revisjonsbevis er etter var vurdering tilstrekkelig og hensiktsmessig som grunnlag for vår konklusion.

Styrets ansvar for årsregnskapet

Styret (ledelsen) er ansvarlig for å utarbeide årsregnskapet og for at det gir et rettvisende bilde i samsvar med regnskapslovens regler og god regnskapsskikk i Norge. Ledelsen er også ansvarlig for slik intern kontroll som den finner nødvendig for å kunne utarbeide et årsregnskap som ikke inneholder vesentlig feilinformasjon, verken som følge av misligheter eller utilsiktede feil.

Ved utarbeidelsen av årsregnskapet må ledelsen ta standpunkt til selskapets evne til fortsatt drift og opplyse om forhold av betydning for fortsatt drift. Forutsetningen om fortsatt drift skal legges til grunn for årsregnskapet så lenge det ikke er sannsynlig at virksomheten vil bli avviklet.

Revisors oppgaver og plikter ved revisjonen av årsregnskapet

Vårt mål er å oppnå betryggende sikkerhet for at årsregnskapet som helhet ikke inneholder vesentlig feilinformasjon, verken som følge av misligheter eller utilsiktede feil, og å avgi en revisjonsberetning som inneholder vår konklusjon. Betryggende sikkerhet er en høy grad av sikkerhet, men ingen garanti for at en revisjon utført i samsvar med ISA-ene, alltid vil avdekke vesentlig feilinformasjon som eksisterer. Feilinformasjon kan oppstå som følge av misligheter eller utilsiktede feil. Feilinformasjon blir vurdert som vesentlig dersom den enkeltvis eller samlet med rimelighet kan forventes å påvirke økonomiske beslutninger som brukerne foretar basert på årsregnskapet.

UAVHENGIG REVISORS BERETNING Til generalforsamlingen i Bøen Kraft A5

Uttalelse om revisjonen av årsregnskapet

Konklusjon

Vi har revidert selskapet Bøen Kraft AS' årsregnskap som viser et underskudd på kr 344 977. Årsregnskapet består av balanse per 31. desember 2020, resultatregnskap for regnskapsåret avsluttet per denne datoen og noter till årsregnskapet, herunder et sammendrag av viktige regnskapsprinsipper.

Etter vår mening er det medfølgende årsregnskapet avgitt i samsvar med lov og forskrifter og gir et rettvisende bilde av selskapets linansielle stilling per 31. desember 2020, og av dets resultater for regnskapsåret avsluttet per denne datoen i samsvar med regnskapsløvens regler og god regnskapsskikk i Norge.

Grunnlag for konklusjonen

Vi har gjennomført revisjonen i samsvar med lov, forskrift og god revisjonsskikk i Norge, herunder de internasjonale revisjonsstandardene (ISA-ene). Våre oppgaver og plikter i henhold til disse standardiene er beskrevet i Revisors oppgaver og pilkter ved revisjon av årsregnskapet. Vi er uavhengige av selskapet slik det kreves i lov og forskrift, og har overholdt våre øvrige eliske forpliktelser i samsvar med disse kravene. Etter var oppfatning er innhentet revisjonsbevis tilstrekkelig og hensiktsmessig som grunnlag for var konklusjon.

Styrets ansvar for årsregnskapet

Styret (ledelsen) er ansvarlig for å utarbeide årsregnskapet i samsvar med lov og forskrifter, herunder for at det gir et rettvisende bilde i samsvar med regnskapslovens regler og god regnskapsskikk i Norge. Ledelsen er også ansvarlig for slik intern kontroll som den finner nødvendig for å kunne utarbeide et årsregnskap som lkke inneholder vesentlig feilinformasjon, verken som følge av misligheter eller utilsiktede feil.

Ved utarbeidelsen av ärsregnskapet må ledelsen ta standpunkt til selskapets evne til fortsatt drift og opplyse om forhold av betydning for fortsatt drift. Forutsetningen om fortsatt drift skal legges til grunn for årsregnskapet så lenge det ikke er sannsynlig at virksomheten vil bli avviklet.

Revisors oppgaver og plikter ved revisjonen av årsregnskapet

Vårt mål er å oppnå betryggende sikkerhet for at årsregnskapet som helhet ikke inneholder vesentlig feilinformasjon, verken som følge av misligheter eller utilsiktede feil, og å avgi en revisjonsberetning som inneholder vår konklusjon. Betryggende sikkerhet er en høy grad av sikkerhet, men ingen garanti for at en revisjon utført i samsvar med lov, forskrift og god revisjonsskikk i Norge, herunder ISA-ene, alltid vil avdekke vesentlig feilinformasjon som eksisterer. Feilinformasjon kan oppstå som følge av misligheter eller utilsiktede feil. Feilinformasjon blir vurdert som vesentlig dersom den enkeltvis eller samlet med rimelighet kan forventes å påvirke økonomiske beslutninger som brukerne foretar basert på årsregnskapet.

For videre beskrivelse av revisors oppgaver og plikter vises det til https://sevisorforeningen.no/revisionsberetninges

Uttalelse om øvrige lovmessige krav

Konklusjon om registrering og dokumentasjon

Basert på vår revisjon av årsregnskapet som beskrevet ovenfor, og kontrollhandlinger vi har funnet nødvendig i henhold til internasjonal standard for attestasjonsoppdrag (ISAE) 3000 «Attestasjonsoppdrag som ikke er revisjon eller forenklet revisorkontroll av historisk finansiell informasjon», mener vi at ledelsen har oppfylt sin plikt till å sørge for ordentlig og oversiktlig registrering og dokumentasjon av selskapets regnskapsopplysninger i samsvar med løv og god bokføringsskikk i Norge.

UAVHENGIG REVISORS BERETNING

Uttalelse om revisjonen av årsregnskapet Konklusion

Vi har revidert selskapet Bøen Kraft AS' årsregnskap som viser et overskudd på kr 2 279 971. Årsregnskapet består av balanse per 31. desember 2019, resultatregnskap for regnskapsåret avsluttet per denne datoen og noter til årsregnskapet, herunder et sammendrag av viktige regnskapsprinsipper.

Etter vår mening er det medfølgende årsregnskapet avgitt i samsvar med lov og forskrifter og gir et rettvisende bilde av selskapets finansielle stilling per 31. desember 2019, og av dets resultater for regnskapsåret avsluttet per denne datoen i samsvar med regnskapslovens regler og god regnskapsskikk i Norge.

Grunnlag for konklusjonen

Vi har gjennomført revisjonen i samsvar med lov, forskrift og god revisjonsskikk i Norge, herunder de internasjonale revisjonsstandardene (ISA-ene). Våre oppgaver og plikter i henhold til disse standardene er beskrevet i Revisors oppgaver og plikter ved revision av årsreanskapet. Vi er uavhengige av selskapet slik det kreves i lov og forskrift, og har overholdt våre øvrige etiske forpliktelser i samsvar med disse kravene. Etter vår oppfatning er innhentet revisjonsbevis tilstrekkelig og hensiktsmessig som grunnlag for vår konklusjon.

Styrets ansvar for årsregnskapet

Styret (ledelsen) er ansvarlig for å utarbeide årsregnskapet i samsvar med lov og forskrifter, herunder for at det gir et rettvisende bilde i samsvar med regnskapslovens regler og god regnskapsskikk i Norge. Ledelsen er også ansvarlig for slik intern kontroll som den finner nødvendig for å kunne utarbeide et årsregnskap som ikke inneholder vesentlig feilinformasjon, verken som følge av misligheter eller utilsiktede feil.

Ved utarbeidelsen av årsregnskapet må ledelsen ta standpunkt til selskapets evne til fortsatt drift og opplyse om forhold av betydning for fortsatt drift. Forutsetningen om fortsatt drift skal legges til grunn for årsregnskapet så lenge det ikke er sannsynlig at virksomheten vil bli avviklet.

Revisors oppgaver og plikter ved revisjonen av årsregnskapet

Vårt mål er å oppnå betryggende sikkerhet for at årsregnskapet som helhet ikke inneholder vesentlig feilinformasjon, verken som følge av misligheter eller utilsiktede feil, og å avgi en revisjonsberetning som inneholder vår konklusjon. Betryggende sikkerhet er en høy grad av sikkerhet, men ingen garanti for at en revisjon utført i samsvar med lov, forskrift og god revisjonsskikk i Norge, herunder ISA-ene, alltid vil avdekke vesentlig feilinformasjon som eksisterer. Feilinformasjon kan oppstå som følge av misligheter eller utilsiktede feil. Feilinformasjon blir vurdert som vesentlig dersom den enkeltvis eller samlet med rimelighet kan forventes å påvirke økonomiske beslutninger som brukerne foretar basert på årsregnskapet.

Konklusjon om registrering og dokumentasjon

Basert på vår revisjon av årsregnskapet som beskrevet ovenfor, og kontrollhandlinger vi har funnet nødvendig i henhold til internasjonal standard for attestasjonsoppdrag (ISAE) 3000 «Attestasjonsoppdrag som ikke er revisjon eller forenklet revisorkontroll av historisk finansiell informasjon», mener vi at ledelsen har oppfylt sin plikt til å sørge for ordentlig og oversiktlig registrering og dokumentasjon av selskapets regnskapsopplysninger i samsvar med lov og god bokføringsskikk i Norge.
