However, we may not redeem less than all of the outstanding Notes unless at least $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of Notes are outstanding and not called for redemption as of the time we send the related redemption notice. See “Description of Notes—Optional Redemption” in the Convertible Note Preliminary Prospectus Supplement.

- 3 -

Use of Proceeds	We estimate that the net proceeds to us from the Convertible Note Offering will be approximately $169.5 million, after deducting the underwriters’ discounts and commissions and our estimated offering expenses. We intend to allocate an amount equal to the net proceeds from the Convertible Note Offering to finance, refinance or make direct investments in, in whole or in part, one or more new or recently completed (within the 24 months prior to the Settlement Date), current and/or future Eligible Green Projects in alignment with the guidelines of the Green Bond Principles, 2021 (with June 2022 Appendix I). Pending full allocation of an amount equal to the net proceeds from the Convertible Note Offering to Eligible Green Projects, we may temporarily invest the net proceeds in cash or other short-term and liquid instruments, and we will not knowingly invest in operations that result in an overall net increase in greenhouse gas emissions. See “Use of Proceeds” in the Convertible Note Preliminary Prospectus Supplement.
Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consideration	We and each beneficial owner of the Notes will agree in the indenture to treat the Notes, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as “contingent payment debt instruments” and to be bound by our application of the contingent payment debt regulations to the Notes, including our determination of the comparable yield of the Notes and the related projected payment schedule. Under this characterization, U.S. holders will generally be required to accrue and include in income (as ordinary income) original issue discount (subject to certain adjustments) on a constant-yield basis, based on the rate at which we would issue a noncontingent, nonconvertible debt instrument with terms and conditions otherwise comparable to the terms of the Notes, regardless of the U.S. holder’s regular method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We have determined that this rate is 14.33% per annum, compounded semi-annually. The amount of interest required to be included in income for each year will therefore generally exceed the interest payments on the Notes in that year. In addition, U.S. holders will recognize ordinary income, rather than capital gain, on the sale, conversion, exchange, redemption, retirement or other taxable disposition of a Note at a gain. The amount realized by a U.S. holder on a conversion will equal the amount of cash plus the fair market value of Common Stock received.

Increase to Conversion Rate in Connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change

If a make-whole fundamental change occurs and the conversion date for the conversion of a Note occurs during the related make-whole fundamental change conversion period, then, subject to the provisions described in the Convertible Note Preliminary Prospectus Supplement under the caption “Description of Notes—Conversion Rights—Increase in Conversion Rate in Connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change,” the conversion rate applicable to such conversion will be increased by a number of shares set forth in the table below corresponding (after interpolation, as described below) to the effective date and the stock price of such make-whole fundamental change:

	Stock Price
Effective Date	$	0.750	$	0.875	$	0.900	$	1.050	$	1.150	$	1.250	$	1.575	$	1.750	$	2.000	$	2.250
December 12, 2023		222.2222		128.4800		114.1444		50.4667		24.5130		16.9640		9.0286		4.1343		0.1250		0.0000
December 15, 2024		222.2222		128.4800		114.1444		44.8095		24.5130		14.1400		4.5460		2.0814		0.0625		0.0000
December 15, 2025		222.2222		128.4800		114.1444		31.6190		24.5130		11.3160		0.0000		0.0000		0.0000		0.0000
December 15, 2026		222.2222		31.7486		0.0000		0.0000		0.0000		0.0000		0.0000		0.0000		0.0000		0.0000

If such effective date or stock price is not set forth in the table above, then:

• if such stock price is between two stock prices in the table above or the effective date is between two dates in the table above, then the number of additional shares will be determined by straight-line interpolation between the numbers of additional shares set forth for the higher and lower stock prices in the table above or the earlier and later dates in the table above, based on a 365- or 366-day year, as applicable; and

• if the stock price is (x) greater than $2.25 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the stock prices set forth in the column headings of the table above are adjusted, as described in the Convertible Note Preliminary Prospectus Supplement under the caption “Description of Notes—Conversion Rights—Increase in Conversion Rate in Connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change—Adjustment of Stock Prices and Number of Additional Shares”); or (y) less than $0.75 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner), then no additional shares will be added to the conversion rate.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event will the conversion rate be increased to an amount that exceeds 1,333.3333 shares of our Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which amount is subject to adjustment in the same manner as, and at the same time and for the same events for which, the conversion rate is required to be adjusted pursuant to the provisions described in the Convertible Note Preliminary Prospectus Supplement under the caption “Description of Notes—Conversion Rights—Conversion Rate Adjustments—Generally.”
