Notes to Editors:

NESF is a specialist investment company that invests primarily in operating solar power plants in the UK. It is able to invest up to 15% of its Gross Asset Value in operating solar power plants in OECD countries outside the UK. The Company's objective is to secure attractive shareholder returns through RPI-linked dividends and long-term capital growth. The Company achieves this by acquiring solar power plants on agricultural, industrial and commercial sites.

NESF has raised equity proceeds of GBP592m since its initial public offering on the main market of the London Stock Exchange in April 2014. It also has preference shares of GBP100m in issue and credit facilities outstanding of c.GBP365m in place (GBP149m from a syndicate including MIDIS, NAB and CBA; MIDIS: GBP54m; ING GBP32m; UniCredit GBP32m; Santander GBP40m; and Bayerische Landesbank GBP58m).

NESF is differentiated by its access to NextEnergy Capital Group (NEC Group), its Investment Manager, which has a strong track record in sourcing, acquiring and managing operating solar assets. WiseEnergy is NEC Group's specialist operating asset management division and over the course of its activities has provided operating asset management, monitoring, technical due diligence and other services to over 1,300 utility-scale solar power plants with an installed capacity in excess of 1.9 GW.
