Technical Summary
 
Site
 
Iguatama is a municipality located in the western part of Minas Gerais, Brazil with a population of approximately 8,000 residents. The municipality is 250 kilometers from Belo Horizonte, the states capitol. The local economy is primarily based on agriculture with products ranging from beans, soybeans, and corn, as well as cattle farming. Iguatama is part of the "Grutas e Mar de Minas" tourist circuit, with the São Francisco River acting as the main attraction, along with lagoons and lakes that provide tourists with boating and fishing opportunities.
 
The Inhaumas Empreendimentos e Participaçõs Ltda ("Landowner") owns the Site. The SPE entered into a Surface Rights Public Deed on January 28,2025 with the Landowner to secure 9 hectares of land for the Project. The agreed monthly lease payment is R7,200.00 BRL per hectare, due within 150 days from the execution of the Surface Rights Public Deed Agreement. The payments adjust on each anniversary of the signature date according to the Brazilian consumer price index ("IPCA").

Energy Projection
 
The Project's PVsyst simulation report estimates that the Project has a 50% chance of producing at least 5,026 MWh with a resulting performance ratio of 79.7% during its first year of operation.
 
The Jinko JKM solar modules exhibit minimal degradation over their lifespan, ensuring reliable long-term performance. They are warrantied to experience <1% power loss in the first year of operation and an annual degradation rate of <0.4% thereafter. Enhanced resistance to light-induced degradation and elevated temperature-induced degradation further ensures minimal power loss, making them the best choice for the Project.

Stakeholders Engagement
 
On the social front, stakeholder interviews and community surveys indicate broad local support. Community members recognize the Project's contribution to local employment, economic revitalization, and land use productivity. Concerns were raised regarding the absence of night-time policing and a dedicated fire brigade in the municipality, which currently relies on nearby towns for emergency services. In response, local stakeholders recommended the implementation of 24/7 surveillance systems, including alarms, security cameras, and LED lighting, along with the construction of an artesian well at the plant to provide water for fire safety and daily operations. The Project is protected by unarmed on-site security and round-the-clock remote monitoring, provided by Sueki Vigilância Eletrônica (KASEG).
 
 
 
Financial Summary
 
The projected nominal IRR, in USD, of the Project is 17.71%, with an estimated payback of 6 years and 4 months from the Acquisition date. The projected income statement, cash flow statement and balance sheet through 2034 are shown in Exhibit I.
 
The baseline projected IRR is calculated assuming a 2% annual devaluation of the BRL against USD and an average Subscriber discount of 23%.
 
The Project will be rented to the Offtaker. The Offtaker is comprised of many Subscribers who each pay a rental price equal to the amount of kWh produced by the Project that they consume times an energy rate per kWh. The energy rate per kWh is calculated as a fixed discount off the rate they would have otherwise pay to the Utility Company for electricity.
 
Thus, the Project's monthly rental revenue will fluctuate based on Subscriber discount rates and the FX rate (expressed as a devaluation of the BRL against the USD over time). The table below demonstrates the range of potential IRRs resulting from various energy discount and currency devaluation scenarios:

For example, if the BRL depreciates against the USD by 7.5% every year of the Project's 25-year life, and the Project offers Subscribers a 16% discount against the energy rate charged by the Utility Company (as opposed to the 23% assumption used in the base case IRR projection), the IRR of the Project would be 19.22%.

Revenue
 
The Project's revenue comes from the Project Rental Contracts between the SPE and the Consortium of Subscribers.
 
The Project Rental Contracts adjust for annual inflation, which are aligned with changes in Utility Company rates, typically occurring each April. The Utility Company has historically adjusted its rates at a pace higher than IPCA. While the financial model uses the 2020 target inflation rate of 4.00% as a baseline, CEMIG cumulative rate adjustments over the past four years (2020-2024) reached 36.27%, significantly outpacing the IPCA's 29.39%. This method of calculating energy rates paid by the Subscribers ensures that the Project's revenue increases as energy rates increase.
