1. Introduction and summary

1.1 Company highlights 2024

Cloudberry Clean Energy ASA ("the Group" or "Cloudberry") achieved significant growth in 2024, with proportionate EBITDA increasing to NOK 431 million, up from NOK 401 million in 2023, while consolidated EBITDA rose from NOK 263 million to NOK 309 million. The expansion of operational assets drove an increase in proportionate power production from 520 GWh to 674 GWh, further solidifying Cloudberry's position in the renewable energy market.

In 2024, Cloudberry entered into a major strategic agreement in Denmark, signing a share purchase agreement to acquire selected assets from Skovgaard Energy. This includes full ownership of the Odin portfolio, an 80% stake in the Svåheia wind farm (NO-2), as well as development projects and a local asset management and development team. The acquisition, expected to close in Q1 2025, will add 160 GWh of annual production capacity, further strengthening the Group's operational footprint in the region.

Cloudberry's Projects segment expanded its development pipeline to over 2,500 MW across the Nordics, securing key land agreements. The Nees Hede solar project in Denmark grew to 232 MW, while the backlog reached 1,239 MW, supported by a partnership with Holmen Renewable Energy, securing 1 TWh in future wind projects. Additionally, Cloudberry completed an internal sale of the Munkhyttan and Sundby wind farms, based on third-party valuation, generating NOK 113 million in proportionate value creation. In the hydropower sector, Cloudberry increased its stake in Forte Energy Norway AS by 15.99%, raising its total ownership to 49.99%. This transaction boosted the Company's proportionate hydropower production by 41 GWh.

Early 2024 Cloudberry made a smaller re-organization to integrate Captiva Asset Management into the group and to use the organization to reflect the Company's business model, focusing on the strategic growth areas. Following the full integration of Captiva Asset Management into the Group, Cloudberry rebranded three of its four business segments to better align with its "Develop, Own, and Operate" strategy. The three revenue-generating segments are:

  • Projects (formerly Development),
  • Commercial (formerly Production), and
  • Asset Management (formerly Operations)

As part of this strategic restructuring, Cloudberry spun off its digital solutions business, transferring its digital employees, the Captiva Portal, and its 33.33% stake in Proxima Hydrotech AS to Kraftanmelding AS, generating a NOK 8.3 million gain. Sustainability remained a key focus, with avoided CO2 emissions reaching approx. 162,000 tCO2e. In addition, the employee engagement survey in 2024 highlighted strong performance, with the Engagement Index and Equal Opportunities Index scoring 5.4 and 5.5, respectively, up from 5.2 in both indexes in 2023. For more information about Cloudberry and events in 2024, see the Annual report.

1.2 Remuneration of the executive management and the Board of Directors

The remuneration awarded to the leading personnel1 in 2024 was in line with the policy for salary and remuneration for the Company's leading personnel, which was approved by the Company's extraordinary General Meeting held 17 June 2021 and updated at the General Meeting on 16 April 2024. The remuneration described in this report for the Company's leading personnel is based on market practice and designed to support the Company's strategy, long-term value creation, financial sustainability, as well as to attract new talent and retain the Company's leading personnel. Cloudberry's remuneration of leading personnel shall be competitive and in line with Nordic market terms, but not industry leading.

In 2024, there were no clawbacks applied or deviations from the Company's remuneration policy. Additionally, The Board did not implement any significant changes to the short-term (STI) or longterm incentive (LTI) plans.

KPI Structure and performance-based compensation

Based on the 3-in-'30 Strategy, Cloudberry's Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for 2024 were structured around the three core pillars:

  • People Health, Safety & Environment (HSE), engagement, and diversity.
  • Planet Renewable energy production, project pipeline, and CO2 emissions.
  • Profit Financial performance, asset availability, and Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs).

These KPIs were cascaded throughout the organization, ensuring alignment from corporate strategy to individual objectives. A shared financial performance target was integrated into the STIP for all participants.

On 16 April 2024, the General Meeting approved the issuance of up to 4 million new warrants as part of the Company's equity incentive scheme. Of this amount, 3.7 million warrants were awarded to executive management (51 %) and other key personnel (49 %) in June 2024.

1.3 Changes in executive management and the Board of Directors

In 2024, following the acquisition of Captiva at the end of the previous year, Cloudberry rebranded its segments and reorganized its business structure. As a result, the Company underwent changes in executive management. Changes were also made in the Board of Directors.

In executive management, Jon Gunnar Solli (Chief Operating Officer) and Stig J. Østebrøt (Chief Technology Officer) left executive management and changed positions within the group, while Ole-Kristofer Bragnes joined in a new role as Chief Financial Officer and Erik W. Welle Strand joined as Chief Operating Officer (general manager of Captiva Asset Management), both taking on their

1 Leading personnel include: Members of the executive management, and members of The Board elected by the shareholders

roles from July 1, 2024. From the same date, Christian Helland changed his position from Chief Value (Financial) Officer to Chief Commercial Officer. The rest of the executive management remained unchanged.

In the Board of Directors, Stefanie Witte stepped down following the 2024 Annual General Meeting (AGM), and Mads Andersen was appointed as a new board member. All other board members, including Tove Feld as Chair of the Board, continued in their roles. These changes align with Cloudberry's ongoing structural developments as the company positions itself for future growth.

1.4 Summary of remuneration structure and guidelines

The main purpose of the Company's remuneration guidelines is to create a culture that promotes the Company's strategy, long-term value creation, sustainability ambitions, and solid financial growth, while at the same time ensuring the shareholders' influence and alignment.

2 Salary and other benefits represent the full year, considering that the individual entered a management position from 1 July 2024

In 2024, Cloudberry engaged Korn Ferry to conduct an executive compensation benchmarking study (Korn Ferry grading, former Hay index) to assess the levels and competitiveness of its total remuneration, including a dedicated review of the CEO's compensation. The analysis (using the Korn Ferry grade) compared Cloudberry's executive pay structure to market data, considering industry dynamics, company size, complexity in terms of technology and geography, strategic direction and the specific context of publicly traded companies. The findings revealed that base salaries and total cash compensation are both above and slightly below the market median. Overall, the LTIP is generally at grant considered more competitive compared to market and contributed to improving overall competitiveness of the total remuneration.

The average fixed salary of the executive management decreased by 5.8% in 2024 (14% increase in 2023). The main reason for the decrease is changes in executive management, where some executives have left, while new members have joined, which has impacted the overall remuneration levels. The average annual salary adjustment in Cloudberry in 2024 was 4.4 %, while the increase in the executive management was 4,6 %. It is the Company's view that the current fixed salaries align

with the individual's responsibilities, level of experience and expertise, and levels overall are in line with Nordic market practice.

Cloudberry's remuneration structure balances fixed and variable components to align with both short-term performance and long-term value creation.

Cloudberry remains committed to aligning executive remuneration with company performance and shareholder value. In 2024, management played a key role in advancing strategic initiatives, including the Skovgaard partnership, strong financial development, project pipeline expansion, and increased production, contributing to a share price increase of 8.3% from 2023 to 2024. The remuneration framework is performance-driven, with compensation tied to financial, operational, organizational and sustainability targets. Future adjustments will continue to reflect long-term value creation, ensuring management incentives remain aligned with shareholder interests.

2.2 Short-term incentive plan

The short-term incentive plan (STIP) is a key component of the total remuneration package for executive management, designed to align leadership performance with the Company's strategic and financial objectives. The plan is a performance-based bonus system that rewards executives based on the achievement of predefined financial and operational Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). It involves the CEO and other members of executive management, with bonus levels capped at 35% of the annual base salary for leading personnel and 50% for the CEO, in accordance with the Company's remuneration guidelines. In cases of extraordinary achievements that significantly contribute to the Company´s value creation to shareholders, bonus payouts can reach up to 150% of the defined bonus level on selected bonus elements, subject to approval from the Board of Directors.

The KPIs consist of both general financial and sustainability goals, as well as individual quantifiable goals for each employee, which are weighted differently for the different employees. In 2024, the main KPIs used were the following:

  • People Lost time injury (HSE), engagement and diversity indexes
  • Planet Renewable energy production (GWh), growing project pipeline and backlog, CO⯑ emissions
  • Profit Financial performance (EBITDA, Net Asset Value, Revenue, strong balance sheet), asset availability, Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), delivering projects on time and cost

Achievement of the goals is evaluated at the end of each fiscal year and a potential bonus is paid as an annual remuneration. STI related remuneration for 2024 was determined and paid in 2025. Following the assessment of executive management's performance, delivery on proportional EBITDA exceeded the target. However, no member of executive management received a full bonus on individual KPIs.

2.3 Long-term incentive plan

The long-term incentive plan (LTIP) for executive management is structured as an equity incentive plan, aimed at aligning the interests of Cloudberry's executives with long-term shareholder value creation and company performance, as well as contribute to retaining key employees in the Company. As per the resolution by the General Meeting, the plan allows up to 10% of the issued shares in the Company to be allocated as stock options or warrants. The plan is based on annual allocations which is determined by the Board of Directors and approved by the General Meeting in the form of warrants issued to the participants of the plan.

The exercise price for the warrants is determined by the Board of Directors based on the fair market value of the shares on the date of allocation. In 2024, a hurdle at 5.65 % was introduced to better align the potential value of warrants with increased shareholder value. Normally, one-third of the warrants vest each year over a period of three years from allocation. However, the Board retains the discretion to deviate from this schedule if deemed appropriate. If one shareholder acquires more than 50% of all shares in Cloudberry, all warrants are immediately vested.

Upon termination by an employee, warrants are generally cancelled, except for vested options which may be exercised within a limited timeframe. More details are outlined in the Equity Incentive Plan & Warrant Terms, which is available on www.cloudberry.no.

1 1/3 vest after 12, 24 and 36 months Development of future long term incentive plan

In response to shareholder feedback and as part of a broader review of Cloudberry's executive remuneration policy, the Company started a review of the current long term incentive plan. As part of this process, Cloudberry is evaluating potential modifications, including adjustments to vesting periods (to secure retention), introduction of caps and performance-based conditions, and alternative equity-linked structures that may better reflect market practices. The review will continue in 2025, with formal proposal for changes presented for shareholder approval and implementation in 2026.

2.4 CEO remuneration

The CEO's remuneration at Cloudberry is structured in accordance with the Company's remuneration policy, ensuring alignment with corporate performance, strategic objectives, and shareholder value creation. The evaluation of the CEO's performance is based on a set of KPIs agreed upon with the Board, encompassing financial, operational, organizational and ESG-related targets.

In 2024, the Board assessed that the CEO, together with executive management, successfully advanced both the production and the development portfolio, including the asset management business. A key achievement was the strategic agreement with Skovgaard Energy, which strengthened Cloudberry's position in Denmark with an acquired local team and an expanded development pipeline. Additionally, the Group formed a strategic, long-term partnership with Holmen Renewable Energy to develop 1 TWh of onshore wind power in Sweden. As part of its strategic realignment, the Company made the decision to exit offshore wind market (lack of strategic fit) and initiated a partnership to scale down the digital platform. The CEO also ensured a further development of the organization and compliance structure, including implementation of relevant guidelines and instructions according to relevant laws and regulations, along with improvements of the Company's communication and external positioning.

The Board of Directors is of the opinion that the CEO has met most of the KPI targets for 2024 and that Cloudberry is well-positioned for further growth. As a result, the Board has awarded the CEO a bonus equivalent to 5,88 months of gross salary for the 2024 performance. The CEO's remuneration structure, which includes a combination of base salary, short-term incentives, and long-term equitybased rewards, ensures continued focus on delivering sustainable and profitable growth.

3.2 Fixed annual fee for Board of Directors

The fixed annual fee for the Board of Directors is determined annually by the General Meeting, based on the Nomination Committee's proposal. The remuneration structure is designed to reflect the Board's responsibilities, expertise, commitment of time, and the complexity of the Company's operations. The compensation is based on a fixed annual amount, independent of the Company's financial performance, to safeguard the Board's objectivity and strategic decision-making.

Board members who serve on sub-committees—including the Audit Committee, the Remuneration Committee, and the ESG Committee—receive an additional fixed annual fee for their contributions, recognizing the extra responsibilities in these roles. The remuneration for 2024 is aligned with the Nordic renewable energy sector, ensuring that Cloudberry can attract and retain highly qualified Board members.

While the Board's remuneration is not linked to specific KPIs, the evaluation of its effectiveness is based on governance impact, strategic oversight, decision-making quality, and contribution to Cloudberry's long-term value creation. The Board's assessment for 2024 confirms that its members have successfully guided the Company's operational and strategic direction, strengthened corporate governance practices, and supported key initiatives, ensuring Cloudberry's position for continued growth and sustainability.

3.3 Share purchase program for Board of Directors

The share purchase program for the Board of Directors is designed to ensure alignment between the interests of Board members and the Company's shareholders. The program requires Board members to use 30% of their fixed gross board remuneration (prior to tax) per year to acquire shares in the Company, until their individual shareholding reaches a threshold equivalent to two years of board remuneration. Once this threshold is met, Board members will be offered the opportunity to use up to 30% of their gross board remuneration (prior to tax) annually to purchase additional shares in Cloudberry. The shares acquired under this program are subject to a mandatory three-year lock-up period to reinforce long-term commitment. Additionally, these shares are offered at a subscription price set at a 15% discount to the prevailing market price, ensuring that directors remain long-term stakeholders in the Company. The program is personal to each Board member, and they are required to always maintain sole ownership and control over their shares.

This initiative is aligned with Cloudberry's corporate governance principles and shareholder value strategy, ensuring that Board members have a vested financial interest in the Company's long-term success. The program is subject to approval at the General Meeting and remains a key component in strengthening trust between Cloudberry's leadership and its investors.

In May 2024 the following shares were acquired under the Board of Directors share purchase program:
