Aega ASA signs LOI to acquire 14 MW solar plant portfolio

Oslo, 25 April 2016

Aega ASA (Aega) has signed a letter of intent to acquire a

company containing a 14 MW solar plant portfolio and EUR

10.7 million in cash from a private equity-firm.

If the transaction is completed, Aega will quadruple its

production capacity from today's 5 MW to 19 MW.

"If completed, this transaction will represent a major step

towards our objective of reaching 50 MW production capacity

within the next two years. It will also underpin the current

quarterly dividend policy and provide a financial platform

to support the growth strategy of Aega ASA," says Knut

Øversjøen, Chairman of Aega.

The majority of the solar parks contemplated to be acquired

are fixed ground mounted and at an early stage of their 20-

year concession period - similar to Aega's current 5 MW

portfolio in Italy. All the parks in the portfolio have

historically delivered an internal rate of return (IRR)

which is in line with the IRR from Aega's current assets and

the group's overall investment target.

Aega aims to acquire the company, containing the 14 MW

portfolio and EUR 10.7 million in cash, for a total equity

value of approximately EUR 22 million (based on a

theoretical trading price of the Aega share of NOK 3 per

share), against a share-based consideration.

The seller does not intend to make a mandatory offer for all

the shares in Aega in connection with the transaction.

A final transaction is subject to agreement on the

transaction documentation, fulfilment of various conditions

and a 2/3 majority vote in an Extraordinary General Meeting

(EGM) of Aega. Further details of the transaction, including

details of the seller, will, if the parties decide to

proceed with the transaction, be provided in the summons for

the EGM. The intention is to close the transaction by mid-

June 2016.
