Net Asset Value announcement

Foresight Solar Fund Limited ("Foresight Solar" or "the Company"), a fund investing in a diversified portfolio of ground-based solar PV assets in the UK and internationally, announces that, as at 31 March 2019, its unaudited Net Asset Value ("NAV") was £603.6 million (31 December 2018: £610.3 million), resulting in a NAV per Ordinary Share of 110.0 pence (31 December 2018: 111.2 pence). The decrease in NAV is mainly attributable to a downward revision of UK power price forecasts, revised short term inflation assumptions in line with the latest publication of the Office for Budget Responsibility and the unwinding of the discount rate.

The Gross Asset Value ("GAV"), including Company and subsidiaries, as at 31 March 2019, was £1,104.1 million (31 December 2018: £1,114.7 million).

The Company's equity discount rates used to value its investments remain unchanged. UK investments continue to be valued using an unlevered discount rate of 6.75% or a levered discount rate between 7.50% and 7.75% depending on debt structure. Australian operational assets continue to be valued using a levered discount rate of 8.5%.

The Company's total outstanding debt as of 31 March 2019 was £500.5 million, including long-term debt of £395.5 million and Revolving Credit Facilities of £105 million.
