EAM Solar ASA has sold the shares in EAM Solar Norway Holding AS to Energeia AS on the 15th of August 2019.
The sale was conducted in order to protect and secure the financial integrity of EAM Solar ASA.
The transaction is subject to approval by the General Meeting of EAM Solar ASA in accordance with the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act § 3-8, "transactions between the company and shareholders", since Energeia AS is a shareholder and shareholders in Energeia AS also are direct shareholders in EAM Solar ASA (total of 40,1%).

EAM has received signals of interest for Varmo & Codroipo in the range 8 to 10%.

We propose that a post closing adjustment mechanism for establishment of final cash consideration is incorporated in the purchase agreement. The post closing price adjustment should be based on conducting a limited audit of the accounts of the EAM Solar Norway Holding AS group. This to ensure that the tax position, NWC and net debt position between EAM Solar ASA group and EAM Solar Norway Holding Group is calculated correctly. Post closing adjustments to be finalized before the end of 2019.

Solon entered bankruptcy in 2012 and is no longer an existing company.
Both power plants are built over the same technical design, which includes a dual-axis tracking solution resulting in a 25% higher annual power production than a fixed-tilt structure.
Energeia is conducting all technical and administrative tasks in conjunction with the power plants operations.

Financial valuation scenario

The valuation is based on the proposed valuation metrics as shown in previous slides, i.e. a 9% unlevered IRR after tax.
The valuation is based on the FIT contract period and the value of an assumed residual period of 13 years after the end of the FIT contract in 2031, i.e. until 2044.
Varmo valuation of operating assets of EUR 4,6 million for the FIT period (2031) and a discounted residual value of EUR 292k today.
Codroipo valuation of operating assets of EUR 9,7 million for the FIT period (2031) and a discounted residual value of EUR 686k today.

But first some points :
Next slides – overview of the Enovos/Avelar structure and timeline of frauds conducted

involved in fraud
vehicles included in criminal case
vehicles without employees

EAM Solar ASA delivered evidence into the proceedings of fraud.
The Arbitration tribunal accepted the evidence (which was obtained from the file of the Prosecutor of Milan) proving fraud (i.e. knowledge of criminal investigations already from end 2013 and the details of the criminal investigations)
The document evidence was contrary to witness statements made by three witnesses on behalf of Aveleos.
The majority of the arbitration Tribunal (2 of 3) concluded in their decision that "no evidence was given of knowledge of the criminal investigations". However, they made the provision that the ruling was not considering acts conducted by the now two condemned directors in the criminal proceedings Akhmerov and Giorgi.
The dissenting opinion is completely contrary to the majority decision.
The Arbitration decision is appealed based on at least 12 different accounts of breach of Italian law.
First hearing in the appeal procedures expected to commence in January 2020.

Reference is given to the decision made by the Criminal Court on the 18th of April and published in stock exchange notice.
In a 4 page decision the following was stated by the Criminal Court of Milano in our case:
EUR 5 million damages decision:
Companies can not be subject to criminal indictment and proceedings in Italy – only individuals (contrary to Norway and Luxembourg). Companies are only held civil liable for economic damages
Aveleos states in their annual report 2018 that they believe evidence is weak and that they will appeal.
Encevo/Enovos Luxembourg states that they have no responsibility in this matter and that the Court of Milano have made such decision. This is by the way a fact that is not know before the final ruling is received.
We expect the decision to be appeal and the criminal proceedings in Milano to continue into 2020.
Criminal complaint with civil action filed against Enovos and directors in February 2016.
Enovos and directors filed a counter complaint for "false complaint" in autumn 2016.
Police/Prosecution in Luxembourg has received regular additional evidence and request for action during the years, but has so far chosen not to conducted any investigation activity to our knowledge.
EAM Solar ASA filed a civil action law suit against the same parties the 12th of July 2019. This law suit is subordinated the criminal complaint filed in 2016.
Status unknown at this point. Further action to be taken following the reception of the final ruling in Milano.
No director of Enovos nor the the companies are charged in any court of law.
