NESF, the specialist investment company that invests in operating solar power plants in the UK, announces its Net Asset Value ("NAV") at 31 December 2016.
The Company's NAV was GBP466.6m as at 31 December 2016, compared to GBP350.1m at 30 September 2016. The increase in NAV results primarily from the Company's successful fundraise of c.GBP115.3m in November 2016.
The NAV per share amounted to 102.6p as at 31 December 2016, compared to 102.0p as at 30 September 2016. The increase in NAV per share was mainly due to income generated from investments and to the change in fair value of investments resulting from the increase in the Company's independent market consultants' medium- and long-term forecasts for power prices in the UK. The dividend of 1.5775p per share paid on 30 December for the quarter ended 30 September 2016 also affected the Company's NAV.
The Company also announces an interim dividend of 1.5775p per Ordinary Share for the quarter ending 31 December 2016. The quarterly dividend of 1.5775p will be paid on 31 March 2017 to shareholders on the register as at the close of business on 24 February 2017. The ex-dividend date will be 23 February 2017.
The Company will also be offering shareholders a scrip dividend alternative to this quarterly dividend as detailed in the Scrip Circular dated 25 August 2016, a copy of which can be viewed and/or downloaded from "Circulars" in the Investor Relations part of the website (www.nextenergysolarfund.com).
Election forms will be sent to shareholders later this month, and if shareholders wish to receive all or part of this interim dividend by way of new shares in the Company, election forms need to be filed by 5.00pm on 13 March 2017. If no action is taken, the quarterly dividend will be paid as cash.
NESF has posted the Company's updated factsheet on its website today.
