- Puglia is one of Italy's most favourable regions for solar energy, having higher solar irradiaOon hours compared to other regions. This results in a superior economic yield for solar energy plants.
- The Puglia AcquisiOon enables Zenith to consolidate its presence in Puglia, while at the same Ome complemenOng its established pipeline in Piedmont and Lazio. Together, these acquisiOons provide the Company with significant development porXolios in Puglia, Lazio and Piedmont, three of Italy's most aZracOve and strategically important regions for solar energy.
- The consideraOon for the Puglia AcquisiOon is EUR 750,000, which includes the purchase of the land hosOng the Puglia AcquisiOon, and will be condiOonal to the achievement of all the necessary permits for it to achieve 'Ready-to-Build' categorisaOon.

Andrea Ca[aneo, Chief Execu>ve Officer of Zenith Energy, commented:
"The addi)on of a second solar energy project in Puglia increases our regional development capacity to 9 MWp and marks a further step in strengthening Zenith's Italian solar porAolio.
Together with our development pipeline in Piedmont and Lazio, the Puglia Acquisi)on establishes three development clusters in the most aJrac)ve regions of Italy for solar energy produc)on. This cluster approach is expected to drive opera)ng efficiencies, improve development and construc)on economics, and enhance long-term porAolio value.
We remain focused on a disciplined, step-by-step strategy to build a diversified, scalable and cash-genera)ve solar porAolio.
We will con)nue to grow assets under management as opportuni)es arise to build an opera)on with substan)al realisable value that delivers sustainable value for shareholders."
