Bluefield Solar Income Fund Limited

('Bluefield Solar' or the 'Company')

Unaudited NAV 30 September 2020

Bluefield Solar (LON: BSIF), a sterling income fund that invests principally in UK-based solar assets, announces its net asset value ("NAV") as at 30 September 2020. Unless otherwise noted herein, the information provided in this announcement is unaudited.

The Company's NAV at 30 September 2020 was £424.3 million, or 114.53 pence per Ordinary Share, compared to the NAV at 30 June 2020 of £433.5 million, or 117.01 pence per Ordinary Share. The 30 September NAV is stated after deducting the FY 20/21 fourth Interim dividend of 2.05 pence per Ordinary share announced on 22 September 2020 and which will be paid on 28 October 2020.

This equates to a NAV total return for the quarter of 1.3%, including the Q3 dividend paid in the period of 1.95 pence per Ordinary share and the Q4 dividend declared of 2.05 pence per Ordinary share.

The dividend of 2.05 pence per Ordinary share to be paid on 28 October 2020 represents the fourth interim dividend in respect of the financial year ending 30 June 2020, resulting in total dividends paid in respect of the 2019/20 financial year of 7.90 pence per Ordinary share.

As stated in the financial year ('FY') 2020 annual report, the Board has indicated that target dividends for FY 2020/21 are 8.00 pence per Ordinary share.

The Company's NAV at 30 September 2020 reflects the adoption of the most recent power curves published by the Company's three independent power forecasters as at 30 September 2020 (which the Company blends on an equal basis) as well as working capital movements over the quarter. The NAV update also includes PPA contracts fixed in the period to 30 September 2020, the inclusion of the 64.2 MWp portfolio acquired by the Company in August 2020 and an additional 38 MWp of the existing portfolio (278 MWp in total) now valued on the basis of 40 year asset life.

All other core valuation assumptions have remained consistent with the NAV issued in the Company's financial statements for the period ending 30 June 2020.
