AEGA ASA (Aega) has through a wholly owned subsidiary (NORITA INVEST S.r.l.) entered a preliminary share purchase agreement with Elektrosolar Service S.r.l. to buy a 1 MWp solar park in Emilia Romagna, Italy.

Aega estimates that the final signing of the transaction will take place on or before April 30, 2021. Both parties can still withdraw from the deal, however that would trigger a compensation clause.

Aega has signed a contract to acquire all shares in Energylife S.r.l. which owns a 1 MWp solar plant in Emilia Romagna, Italy. Aega’s funding of the purchase will be through existing cash. EUR 380,000 is to be paid for the share capital at cut-off date (January 1, 2021). The outstanding senior debt at the same date is equal to EUR 2,346,000.

The 1 MWp solar park is a ground-mounted power plant, benefitting from Conto Energia 3. The end of feed-in tariff is 10 years from cut-off date, out of their respective 20-year concession period. The plant is expected to deliver an internal rate of return (IRR) in line with Aega's current assets and the group's overall investment target.

After the acquisition the Chairman of Aega, Mr. Halldor C. Tjoflaat, will be appointed CEO and will constitute the Energylife S.r.l. Board of Directors. There are no employees in the acquired company. Energylife is a special purpose company established in Q2 2011. There are no significant off-balance assets or liabilities.

With the completion of this transaction, Aega will own 5 solar power plants with a total capacity of 5 MWp in Italy. Aega has the infrastructure and partners to quickly get the new plant optimized. Aega continues to look opportunistic on further acquisitions.
