Ragnhild Wiborg Chair of the Board of Directors,
Reference is given to Appendix 4.
EAM Solar ASA sold on 15 August the shares in the subsidiary EAM Solar Norway Holding AS to Energeia AS.
The Board of Directors decided to conduct this sale in order to protect and secure the financial integrity of EAM Solar ASA, ensuring EAM Solar ASA's capability to continue its litigation activities in foreseeable future without necessitating to raise additional capital.
Energeia AS is both shareholder in, and manager of EAM Solar ASA. In addition, several of the shareholders in Energeia AS are also direct shareholders in EAM Solar ASA. As such, the transaction is subject to final approval by the General Meeting of EAM Solar ASA in accordance with the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act § 3-8, "transactions between the company and shareholders".
In accordance with the legal requirements under § 3-8, the board of director have received a statement, from the Auditor of EAM Solar ASA, RSM, on the structure and valuation of the transaction. This statement is attached this summons as appendix 5.
The Board of Directors proposes that the EGM adopts the following resolution:
The General Meeting of EAM Solar ASA approves the sale of the shares in EAM Solar Norway Holding AS to Energeia AS.
The board of directors proposes that the board of directors is authorised to increase the Company's share capital with up to NOK 6,852,210 by issuing new shares. The authorisation is equivalent to 10% of the share capital.
The reason for this is to give the Company flexibility to swiftly be able to raise new capital for general corporate purposes. It is proposed that the shareholders' pre-emptive rights may be disregarded.

EAM Solar ASA has sold the shares in the subsidiary EAM Solar Norway Holding AS to Energeia AS.
The Board of Directors decided to conduct this sale in order to protect and secure the financial integrity of EAM Solar ASA, ensuring EAM Solar ASA's capability to continue its litigation activities in foreseeable future without necessitating to raise additional capital.
Since Energeia AS is both a shareholder in, and manager of EAM Solar ASA, and since several of the shareholders in Energeia AS also are direct shareholders in EAM Solar ASA, the sale is subject to final approval by the General Meeting of EAM Solar ASA in accordance with the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act § 3-8, "transactions between the company and shareholders".
The Company EAM Solar Norway Holding AS owns through subsidiaries the solar PV power plants Varmo and Codroipo, located in Friuli, Italy.
The Board of Directors in EAM Solar ASA has sold the shares in EAM Solar Norway Holding AS to Energeia AS for NOK 134 million based on a valuation of total assets of NOK 210 million in the Company. Subtracted from the sales price of the shares is the debt in the Company of NOK 76 million, which follows the Company in the transaction, thus reducing the gross debt position of EAM Solar ASA accordingly. The Company has a net receivable position against EAM Solar ASA of NOK 44 million. Consequently, the net cash proceeds from the transaction to be received by EAM Solar ASA is NOK 90 million. The book value of the shares is NOK 83 million, the sale thus represents a preliminary capital gain of approximately NOK 51 million.
The financial take-over date is the 1st of August 2019. The final sales price is subject to post-closing adjustments to the valuation of the net working capital in the Company following an audit of the opening balance of the Company.
The cash payment of the shares is subject to a seller's credit issued by EAM Solar ASA to Energeia AS with final due date the 31st of December 2020. The seller credit yields an annual interest of 9%, equivalent to the discount rate used in the valuation of the Company. EAM Solar ASA has the right to request Energeia to conduct payment delegations on behalf of EAM Solar ASA against deduction in the seller's credit. Energeia has the right to conduct partial payments of the cash consideration until the due date of the seller's credit.
If Energeia AS sells the Company or the power plants to third parties in the period prior to the end of 2020 at a higher value than the current sales valuation, EAM Solar ASA has the right to receive 75% of the value uplift above current sales valuation.
The Board of Directors have received a statement from the Company's Auditor RSM, in accordance with the legal requirements under the Public Limited Liability Companies Act from an independent expert that the structure and valuation of the transaction is deemed to be in correspondence with arms-length market terms and conditions. This statement will be published together with the Summons to the Extraordinary General Meeting in accordance with § 3-8.
EAM Solar Norway Holding and its subsidiaries has no employees. The sole member of the board of directors is Viktor E. Jakobsen. EAM Solar Norway Holding is in its entirety managed on a daily basis by the manager Energeia AS.
Varmo and Codroipo was purchased by EAM Solar ASA in 2011 and 2012 for a total cash consideration of EUR 17,9 million. Through the period of ownership EAM Solar ASA has received EUR 16 million, that has been used for coverage of EAM Solar ASA group operations, litigation costs and debt service.
Following the sale, EAM Solar ASA will own 4 Solar PV power plants in Italy, reduce its cost base going forward significantly, and strengthen solidity and future liquidity significantly, improving EAM Solar ASA's capability of achieving restoration of values following the criminal contractual fraud conducted by the Directors of Aveleos and its shareholders.
EAM Solar ASA will hold an investor presentation during week 34, prior to the General Meeting, that will describe the sales in detail. This presentation will be made available to the shareholders on the day of the presentation.

Statement from the Company's Auditor RSM on the sale as required by the Public Limited Liability Companies Act § 3-8.
