Oslo, 29 January 2021: Reference is made to the stock exchange release on 16
October 2020 (https://scatec.com/2020/10/16/scatec-solar-acquires-sn-power-
building-a-global-leader-in-renewable-energy/?archive=1) where Scatec announced

"This acquisition forms a very important part of our broadened growth strategy,
with an ambition to become a global player in solar, hydro, wind and storage
solutions, and an integrator of high-value infrastructure solutions. We are
looking forward to start working together with our new colleagues from SN Power

The acquisition is fully funded through cash and a USD 200 million vendor note,
a USD 150 million term loan, and a USD 400 million acquisition finance facility
provided by Nordea, DNB and Swedbank.
From today, Jarl Kosberg has been appointed EVP Project Development Hydropower,

from international energy projects and leadership positions in companies such as
Exxon, Aker & Kvaerner, Statkraft & SN Power and Green Resource.
