Appendix 3

Background for the proposals and proposed resolutions

Item 3. Acquisition of royalty rights and share capital increase

The Company is party to an administrative, technical and operational management agreement with EAM Solar Park Management AS (the "Management Agreement"). Pursuant to the Management Agreement, EAM Solar Park Management AS provides all administrative, technical, and operational services to the Company, its subsidiaries and its solar power plants.

Under the existing Management Agreement EAM Solar Park Management AS is entitled to revenue equal to its directly attributable costs for providing the services to the Company, without margin. In addition EAM Solar Park Management AS is entitled to 12.5 % of the annual pre-tax profit (the "Royalty") in the Company. The Company and EAM Solar Park Management AS is in agreement that the Management Agreement in its original form no longer works in the best interest of the Company, and have therefore decided to amend the Management Agreement. The board of directors of the Company has taken the view that the Company is best served by having the upside interest which the Royalty constitutes converted into ordinary share ownership, so as to ensure full alignment of interests between EAM Solar ASA and EAM Solar Park Management AS. The board of directors, with the assistance of an external financial adviser, has carried out an assessment of the appropriate exchange rate at which the Royalty can be converted into shares without being dilutive to the shareholders. Based on this process, the board of directors proposes that the Royalty is converted into 532,210 new shares in the Company.

The Company and EAM Solar Park Management AS have, therefore, entered into an addendum to the Management Agreement pursuant to which the Company shall buy back EAM Solar Park Management AS's right to the Royalty, following which the Royalty will be cancelled.

In consideration of to the buy-back of the Royalty, EAM Solar Park Management AS shall, technically, receive a claim equal to NOK 17,436,385. This claim will then immediately be converted into 532,210 shares in the Company (the "Consideration Shares"). The addendum to the Management Agreement and the issuance of the Consideration Shares are subject to the approval of the genereal meeting.

The board of directors proposes that the general meeting pass the following resolution in connection with the Management Agreement:

  • (i) The general meeting approves the addendum to the administrative, technical and operational management agreement with EAM Solar Park Management AS.
  • (i) The share capital of the Company shall be increased by NOK 5,322,100 through the issuance of 532,210 new shares, each with a nominal value of NOK 10.
  • (ii) The new shares are issued at a subscription price of NOK 32.762228 per share.
  • (iii) The new shares are issued to EAM Solar Park Management AS, org. no. 896 525 212, Dronningen 1, o287 Oslo, Norway (the "Subscriber").
  • (iv) Subscription for the new shares shall be made in the minutes of the general meeting.
  • (v) Settlement for the new shares shall be made by way of set-off of the Subscriber's claim of NOK 17,436,385 against the Company. Such set-off shall become effective upon the Subscriber's subscription for the new shares.
  • (vi) The new shares shall carry rights to dividends from the date on which the capital increase is registered with the Register of Business Enterprises.
  • (vii) The Company's estimated costs in connection with the capital increase are NOK 75,000.
  • (viii) Section 4 of the articles of association shall be amended so as to reflect the share capital and the number of shares after the share capital increase.

The Company's auditor RSM, (State authorised public accountant) has issued two statements in accordance with sections 10-2 and 3-8 cfr section 2-6 of the Public Limited Liability Companies Act in relation to the proposed conversion. These statements are included as appendices to this notice.

Item 4. Rights Issue

The board of directors proposes that the general meeting resolves to carry out an offering of new shares in the Company to existing shareholders of the Company (the "Rights Issue") with gross proceeds of NOK 30.6 million in order to fund the ongoing lawsuits and and strengthen the Company's working capital. According to the proposed Rights Issue, shareholders of the Company will be granted transferable subscription rights that provide preferential rights to subscribe for and be allocated shares in the Company.

In connection with the Rights Issue, the Company has entered into an underwriting agreement with the largest shareholders (the "Underwriters"), who upon and subject to certain conditions underwrite the subscription of all the shares to be offered in the Rights Issue.

In accordance with the proposal of the board of directors, the general meeting passed the following resolution:

  • (i) The share capital of the Company shall be increased by NOK 12,500,000 through the issuance of 1,250,000 new shares, each with a nominal value of NOK 10.
  • (ii) The new shares are issued at a subscription price of NOK 24 per share.
  • (iii) The Company's registered shareholders as of a record date to be determined by the Company, expected to be 10 August 2017, (the "Record Date") will receive transferable subscription rights giving a preferential right to subscribe for the new shares pro rata to the number of shares they are registered as owning as of the Record Date.
  • (iv) No shares are offered to persons who are resident in a jurisdiction where such offering would be unlawful or would (in a jurisdiction other than Norway) require the publication of a prospectus or any filing, registration or similar measures, except where the Company is satisfied that an exemption from such requirements is available. In respect of any shareholder who is not entitled to subscribe for new shares as a result of such restrictions, the Company (or an agent appointed by the Company) shall have the right (but no obligation) to sell such shareholder's subscription rights against the payment of net sales proceeds to such shareholders.
  • (v) A guarantee consortium has been established for the rights' issue. The guarantee consortium guarantees in the aggregate the subscription of 1,250,000 new shares. The liability of the guarantors is several but not joint. The guarantors are entitled to a guarantee commission equal to 2 of the guaranteed amount.
  • (vi) Over-subscription and subscription without subscription rights are permitted. If the subscription rights are not fully exercised, subscribers who have exercised their subscription rights and who have subscribed for a higher number of shares than they have subscription rights for (oversubscription) shall have preferential rights to such excess shares. Such excess shares shall be allocated among such subscribers as far as possible pro rata to the number of subscription rights exercised by each such subscriber. Any excess shares after such allocation shall be allocated by the board of directors among subscribers without subscription rights. Any excess shares after such allocation will be allocated to the guarantee consortium.
  • (vii) The subscription period is from 11 August 2017 to 28 August 2017. The start of the subscription period is conditional upon a prospectus for the offering having been approved by the Norwegian Financial Supervisory Authority. In case of a delay in the approval of the prospectus, the subscription period (and the dates referred to in item (viii) of this resolution) shall be postponed accordingly as determined by Company. The new shares shall be subscribed for on a separate subscription form.
  • (viii) Payment of the subscription amount shall be made no later than 31 August 2017 to a special share issue account. When subscribing for shares, each subscriber must, through its signature on the subscription form, give Carnegie AS a one-time authority to debit a stated bank account for an amount equal to the number of shares subscribed for multiplied by the subscription price. Upon allocation, Carnegie AS will debit the stated account for an amount equal to the number of shares allocated to the subscriber multiplied by the subscription price. The account will be debited around 31 August 2017. Subscribers without Norwegian bank accounts must pay for allocated shares as instructed by Carnegie AS.
  • (ix) The new shares shall carry rights to dividends from the date on which the capital increase is registered with the Register of Business Enterprises.
  • (x) The Company's estimated costs in connection with the capital increase, including guarantee commission, are NOK 2.5 million.

(xi) Section 4 of the articles of association shall be amended so as to reflect the share capital and the number of shares after the share capital increase.

Part 1: Information about the agreement

The Management Agreement includes a clause under which SPM is entitled to 12.5% of EAM's annual pre-
tax profit. The Parties have reached an agreement that it is no longer in the best interest of EAM to retain the profit share clause, and therefore the Parties have

selskapet i perioden 27. mars 2017 til 25. april 2017, og det verdireduserende elementet i markedsverdien som følger av at SPM har rett til 12,5% av årlig resultat før skatt (beregnet til 9,5% etter skatt med en

The value of the profit share clause of the Management Agreement has been subject to
negotiations between the Parties, and is derived from the marked value of EAM, calculated as the volume weighted average share price in the period 27 March
2017 to 25 April 2017, and the value reducing element which SPM's entitlement to 12.5% of the annual pre-tax profit (estimated to 9.5% after tax, with a tax rate of 24%) represents to the market value of FAM
