APPENDIX 1
A PARADIGM SHIFT IS HAPPENING
Sources: Bloomberg New Energy Finance, UN Environment, UNEP-Frankfurt School of
Finance & Management
THE RENEWABLES MARKET IS VERY LARGE AND
CONTINUES TO GROW
WHILE COSTS FOR PRODUCING RENEWABLE ENERGY
CONTINUE TO DECLINE
“Global investment in renewable energy edged up 2% in 2017 to $279.8
billion, taking cumulative investment since 2010 to $2.2 trillion, and since
2004 to $2.9 trillion. The latest rise in capital outlays took place in a
context of further falls in the costs of wind and solar that made it possible
to buy megawatts of equipment more cheaply than ever before.”
“A record 157 gigawatts of renewable power were commissioned in 2017,
up from 143GW in 2016 and far out-stripping the 70GW of net fossil fuel
generating capacity added last year. Solar alone accounted for 98GW, or
38% of the net new power capacity coming on stream during 2017.”
“In 2017, costs continued to fall for solar, in particular. The benchmark
levelized cost of electricity for a utility-scale photovoltaic project dropped
to $86 per megawatt-hour, down 15% on a year earlier and 72% since
2009. Some of this was due to a fall in capital costs, some to
improvements in efficiency.”

sustainable investing continuing to climb steadily –

86% of Millennials are interested in
sustainable investing”- Morgan Stanley Investor Survey
DESPITE THE DEMAND, ACCESS AND
AVAILABILITY FOR INDIVIDUAL INVESTORS
HAVE BEEN LIMITED
89% of investments are made by institutions- Bloomberg New Energy Finance
“In 2017, some $5.7 billion of new investment was raised by
62 clean energy companies and funds on 27 stock markets.
This was the smallest dollar total
since 2012.”
“The NEX, which tracks the performance of 105 mainly clean
energy and energy efficiency stocks,
performed better than the S&P 500 and only slightly less well than the Nasdaq in 2017.”

APPENDIX 3
HOW WE DO IT – A VALUE DRIVEN BUSINESS MODEL
• Royalty business models have been operating successfully for many years in a diverse group of industries such as oil & gas (Prairie Sky), mining (Franco-Nevada), consumer services (Diversified), industrial products (Alaris), agriculture (Input) and restaurants (A&W, Keg).
Proven Business
Model
• Our royalties are revenue based, payable irrespective of underlying profitability. No further capital outlay or operating expenditure incurred by us once royalties are acquired.
Revenue Based
• Our royalties are supported by long-term power purchase agreements or feed-in-tariffs from strong credit-worthy counterparties, providing long-term, predictable cash flows.
• Focus on jurisdictions with strong legal and clean energy frameworks.
Long-Term Cash Flows
• We acquire royalties on operational renewable energy projects or shovel-ready projects. Projects must be long life assets and have a history of operations and revenues. Shovel-ready projects must have permits secured and financing available.
Asset Focus
23CONFIDENTIAL: Full details of the offering can be found in the Offering Memorandum.
This document is for information purposes only.
• Our focus is on public and private operators and developers, where access to capital is constrained and challenging. A royalty financing solution provides a non-dilutive and flexible funding solution that is tailored for each investee’s needs.
Strong Value Proposition
• We focus on commercially proven renewable energy technologies: Solar, Wind, Hydro, Geothermal
• We have a global focus and we transact only in major currencies: USD, CAD, EUR, YEN, GBP
Diversified to Reduce Risk
• Our royalties are secured either through claim on title, inter-creditor agreements, cross-collateralization across an investee’s asset base, general security agreement and corporate guarantees. We maintain step-in rights and require periodic reporting from our investees.
Risk Mitigation
• Emergence and growth of the renewable sector creates opportunity for royalty financing. There is currently not any comparable business model in the renewable energy financing space, allowing for minimal competition, premium project selection and higher margins.
