Capital distribution programme continues with dividend and buybacks in Q2

Capital distribution policy Q2 shareholder events

Regular dividend Extraordinary

Magnora allocates capital to where the company expects a return well above the cost of capital.

The capital structure is normally all equity based with substantial cash.

Considering the need for growth capital and expected future cash flows, excess capital will normally be returned to the shareholders through dividend, repayment of paid-in capital or share buybacks with subsequent cancelling of shares.

«Strategy as simple rules» – our approach

Rule Rationale Magnora history
Diversify
Shift money and people to areas of high return
Risk mitigation

Geographical expansion
Journey from wind to solar PV and BESS
Insist on early sales

Proof of concept/market
Business savvy people
Customer centric culture
Helios, Evolar, South Africa, etc.
Keep a "war chest" Negotiate from a position of strength Loan facilities, strong cash position
When things look perfect,
consider exit

Business is cyclical
Aim for high growth/high return
Evolar, Helios
Look for entrepreneurs
with integrity
Sleep well Huge investment in screening people, build
network of advisors
Remain agile and
adaptable

Be able to respond quickly. Empower local teams
Seize opportunities
Rapidly entered Italy and Germany as
favourable market conditions were observed
Stay in early-stage
renewables


Stay capital light –
free money for reinvestment and return of capital
Exploit mega-trends
Position Magnora for large funds

Divest legacy
Exit Evolar
prior to full industrialization
No expensive stuff on
the balance sheet
Do not compete with cheap-capital players Disciplined investments and farm-downs (e.g.
green ammonia)

Developing projects to Ready-to-Build phase ("asset-light") with limited balance sheet risk

Example of previous customers and partners - leaders in their respective markets

Globeleq Our first customer in South Africa -
is owned by the Norwegian and UK governments and
is an ambitious and respected developer
Commerz Real AG A leading European bank and infrastructure investor
Hafslund Leading European utility Hafslund produces 20 TWh year in green energy
Nordic Solar Leading European Solar Independent power producers (IPP) and Helios customer
Red Rocket South Africa's most ambitious IPP –

First Solar Inc. America's leading manufacturer of Solar PV, and the most valuable solar PV company anywhere,
acquired Evolar AB from Magnora
Vinci A Euronext 50 company and infrastructure champion heading into renewables

Magnora shifts financing and management attention to the segments where we get the highest return

reasonable prospect for grid connection

• As previously, outliers are excluded2

1 Most sales occur pre "ready-to-build" with significant advance payments and subsequent payments subject to milestones. We recognize revenue when these milestones are met 2 Solar PV and BESS in South Africa (SA) may trade below our guiding, but SA wind assets are in the high range. Due to costs and project size, developer margins are quite satisfactory in all asset classes. Certain assets in certain markets are also likely to trade above our guiding.
