SEMTH Master Lease Agreement

In furtherance of its growth strategy, on March 23, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of all the issued and outstanding interests in SS Holdings 2017, LLC and its subsidiaries (“SEMTH”) from certain funds, pursuant to a membership interest purchase and sale agreement dated March 23, 2023 (the “SEMTH Acquisition”). The SEMTH related asset includes 20-year use rights to customer payment streams of approximately 22,500 home SLAs and PPAs (the “SEMTH Master Lease”). The Company acquired SEMTH for approximately $23.0 million of cash, net of cash received, and assumed $125.0 million of outstanding senior indebtedness under the SP4 Facility (See Note 8. Non-Recourse Debt) and interest rate swaps with Deutsche Bank AG, New York Bank held by SEMTH and its subsidiaries at the close of the acquisition.

The purchase of SEMTH's future revenue has been accounted for as an acquisition of financial assets. Under the acquisition method, the purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair value. All fair value measurements of assets acquired and liabilities assumed were based on significant estimates and assumptions, including Level 3 (unobservable) inputs, which require judgment. Estimates and assumptions include the projected timing and amount of future cash flows, discount rates reflecting risk inherent in future cash flows and future utility prices.

For the purposes of establishing the fair value of the Company's investment in the SEMTH Master Lease, its analysis considered cash flows beginning in March 2023 (the effective date of the transaction). The Company estimated the fair value of its investment in the SEMTH Master Lease to be approximately $146.9 million on the transaction date.
