Disposal of hydroelectric assets and Dividend Declaration

Disposal of hydroelectric assets

Further to the Company's announcement on 29 September 2021, the Board is pleased to announce that on 26 November 2021 it completed on the sale of a substantial part of its hydroelectric power portfolio held in the C, D and E Ordinary Share Classes for a total consideration of £20,719,036, being £5,239,303 for the C Ordinary Share Class, £9,409,513 for the D Ordinary Share Class and £6,070,220 for the E Ordinary Share Class.

As announced on 29 September 2021, the Company conducted a competitive process and invited bids from some of the leading energy infrastructure investors in the UK which had a strong understanding of small scale run of the river hydroelectric assets. The Company received bids from all invited bidders, following which Triple Point Energy Efficiency Infrastructure Company plc ("TEEC") was selected as the preferred bidder for the portfolio, with reference to key criteria including total consideration, level of offer conditionality and acceptance of share purchase agreement terms. At the conclusion of the sale process, TEEC's final offer was considered the most attractive to the Company. TEEC which invests exclusively in a diversified portfolio of Energy Efficiency assets in the UK is managed by Triple Point Investment Management LLP, and as such, additional measures were implemented and carefully monitored to manage any potential conflict appropriately, including obtaining an independent third-party valuation.

A short update in respect of the remaining assets in each share class is as follows:

· C Share Class - The sale of the remaining asset, Achnacarry Hydro Ltd, is underway and is expected to be sold in the coming months, subject to favourable terms and conditions being achieved. The Company will seek shareholder approval, at a general meeting, to wind down and ultimately cancel the C Share Class at the appropriate time.

· D Share Class - It remains the intention to dispose of its remaining interest in Green Highland Shenval Ltd, once favourable terms and sale price can be achieved, and an update will be provided to shareholders in due course. The Company will seek shareholder approval, at a general meeting, to wind down and ultimately cancel the D Share Class at the appropriate time.

· E Share Class - The sale of Achnacarry Hydro Ltd is underway and is expected to be sold in the coming months, subject to favourable terms and conditions being achieved. Options are being explored with regards to Green Highland Shenval Ltd.

The total consideration for the sale of Achnacarry Hydro Ltd is expected to be approximately £10.5 million subject to any non-material adjustments as a result of buyer due diligence.

The Company expects to return any net proceeds of sale to its C, D and E shareholders, taking into account all relevant fees and costs, and any other legal or tax considerations, as soon as possible.
