CHORUS TAKEOVER: "PROMISED AND DELIVERED"

1	Strong economics for the take-over	CHORUS take-over was accretive: EPS development
2	Platform for growth, increased scale and geographical footprint	Greater pipeline reach: Invest in larger projects in and outside of Germany (> 40 MW) Stronger visibility: Increased appearance as an acquirer for new projects, driving growth of the owned portfolio and the asset management business Internationalisation: Joint strategy to dedicate resources for entry into new markets
3	Optimization and best practice	Operational synergies: Benefit from internal technical management capabilities and better market access to third-party technical and commercial service providers Lean organisation: Streamlining of commercial functions and termination of CHORUS–listing
4	Improved capital markets profile and awareness	Higher visibility: Market capitalization of 860m, representing one of the largest independent listed renewable energy producers in Europe Higher flexibility: Access to new investors and alternative growth financing e.g. mezzanine capital

1) OPERATING EPS IN 2017 IN COMBINATION WITH STRONG EQUITY RATIO > HIGHLY LEVERED EPS FROM 2015

2015	Acquisition of parks with high leverage due to the participation rights capital from Gothaer insurance as well as positive meteorological conditions lead to high EPS and reduction in equity ratio
2016	Takeover of CHORUS (first consolidation Q4 2016) with limited income contribution and substantial increase in shares due to share swap financing of the transaction leads to a fall in EPS
2017	In the first year of full consolidation of CHORUS the EPS surpass all previous years (accretive deal) and in addition profits from positive weather conditions

Termination of third party technical services for CHORUS PV parks and integration into the technical service unit Encavis Technical Services; 12 PV parks with 53 MW already transferred (ahead of schedule, 20 MW planned at this point in time)
