Scatec Solar ASA announces successful solicitation of consents

Scatec Solar ASA announces successful solicitation of consents

NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, DIRECTLY OR

INDIRECTLY, IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES, AUSTRALIA, CANADA OR JAPAN, OR ANY

OTHER JURISDICTION IN WHICH THE RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION WOULD BE

UNLAWFUL. THIS ANNOUNCEMENT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFER OF ANY OF THE

SECURITIES DESCRIBED HEREIN.

Oslo, November 6, 2017: Scatec Solar ASA (the "Issuer") today announces the

successful completion of its consent solicitation (the "Consent Solicitation")

from the holders (the "Bondholders") of its outstanding NOK 500,000,000 FRN

Senior Unsecured Bond Issue 2015/2018 (ISIN NO0010752298) (the "Bonds"),

regarding certain amendments (the "Proposal") to the bond agreement governing

the Bonds (the "Bond Agreement") that would permit an early redemption of the

Bonds.

Unless otherwise defined herein, terms used in the consent solicitation

memorandum dated 23 October 2017 (the "Consent Solicitation Memorandum") shall

have the same meaning in this announcement.

In connection with the Consent Solicitation, a bondholders' meeting (the

"Bondholders' Meeting") was held at 09:00 (CET) on 6 November 2017 in respect of

the Bonds. In the Bondholders' Meeting the Proposal was duly passed.

The Issuer intends to notify Bondholders of the Early Redemption Settlement Date

via Stamdata AS (www.stamdata.no) and via a separate stock exchange release

today. If the redemption of the Bonds occurs, the Redemption price of 104.25 per

cent. of par value (plus accrued interest) shall be paid to the Bondholders on

or about the Early Redemption Settlement Date.

Furthermore, and also conditional on the settlement of the issuance of New

Bonds, the Early Consent Fee of 0.50 per cent. of the principal amount of the

Bonds for which valid Voting Instructions in favour of the Proposal were

delivered before the Early Consent Fee Deadline at 12:00 (CET) on 30 October

2017 will be paid to the Bondholders entitled to receive it on their Income

Account on or about the Early Redemption Settlement Date. Payment of any Early

Consent Fee is not made via the VPS system and Bondholders should therefore

consult their own professional advisors regarding the possible tax consequences

under the laws of jurisdiction that apply to them.

To receive a copy of the Consent Solicitation Memorandum or for questions

relating to the Consent Solicitation, please contact the Solicitation Agents.
