US Solar Fund PLC

(the "Company")

Issue of Management Shares

In accordance with the terms of the investment management agreement (the "IMA") between the Company and New Energy Solar Pty Limited (the "Investment Manager"), 10 per cent. of the investment management fee (the "Management Share Amount") shall be received by the Investment Manager, or its associates, in Ordinary Shares of $US0.01 each in the capital of the Company ("Management Shares"). Under the terms of the IMA, where the Ordinary Shares are trading at a premium to the last reported NAV per Ordinary Share, the Company will apply an amount equal to the Management Share Amount in the issuance of new Ordinary Shares. Where the Ordinary Shares have traded at a discount to the last reported NAV per Ordinary Share, the Company will apply (or procure that a broker applies) an amount equal to the Management Share Amount to the purchase of Ordinary Shares in the market on behalf of the Investment Manager.

Given that the Ordinary Shares are currently trading at a premium to their last reported NAV per Ordinary Share, in accordance with the terms of the IMA, the Company has issued 41,775  Management Shares at a price of US$0.979 per share representing the Management Share Amount due to the Investment Manager for the period from 26 February 2019 to 30 June 2019. The Management Shares are subject to a minimum lock-in period of 36 months from the date of issue.

Admission to the premium listing category of the Official List and to trading on the premium segment of the Main Market is expected to be, on or around, 16 October 2019.
