CLEANTECH VENTURES I

PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL

Over the years, the principals of Genesis Partners have achieved a successful track record of value creation through the formation and management of companies. To date Genesis Partners has successfully invested US$15 million in a diversified portfolio of start-ups and early stage companies. Greenvestment, the General Partner firm, represents a joint-partnership between Genesis Partners and MAS Recursos Naturales S.A. Greenvestment will manage CleanTech Ventures Investment Fund (CleanTech Ventures) that will continue its philosophy of investing its own capital, while opening up opportunities for new investors. It has established the fund with a spirit of a true partnership. CleanTech Ventures will have a 10-year lifespan (with a potential extension of 2 years) and will target a maximum fund size of US$27 million, of which US$13.5 million will be contributed from Limited Equity Partners (LPs) and US$13.5 million from CORFO, the Government Sponsored Economic Development Agency1. The first closing will occur at US$10 million of commitment or greater with a maximum of US$15 million. Minimum Limited Partners commitment would be at least US$2 million with an expected 25% annual drawdowns. The main financial incentives for Limited Partners include a leverage of 1:1 quasi-capital commitment from CORFO plus a project finance leverage scheme with up to 70:30 deb-to-equity ratio depending on each particular project. Greenvestment, as General Partner, will be investing directly into the fund with a commitment of 2%. The main goal is to set up a hands on investment and development fund of greenfield and brownfield non-conventional renewable energy projects, throughout an active participation, leading to successful returns expected between 2x to 2.5x capital invested over a (average) 5-year holding period. The average investment ticket will be $5.4 million, and up to US$18 million through financial leverage. Risk diversification will encompass greenfield and brownfield investments into at least three different Non-Conventional Renewable Energy (NCRE) projects, each representing no more than 10% of the total contributed capital. The Fund’s corporate governance includes SVS Supervision (Chile’s Securities & Exchange Commission), Annual Audited Financial Statements, Quarterly Management Reports, Monthly Deal flow Reports. Annual Investor Day and a 100% open door policy followed by management. The management fee will be set to US$382,000 per year (to be drawn from Private LPs only) and a success fee of 20% over a minimum nominal rate of return of 8% (annual hurdle rate). This document is meant to provide prospective Limited Partners an overview of the Greenvestment team, the Company’s Ethos and summary of CleanTech Ventures.

02- BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY

•  Over the past 10 years Non Conventional Renewable Energy (NCRE) has become a key contributor to the Chilean National Grid, due to its low environmental impact and declining engineering, construction and operational costs.

•  The business opportunity to continue developing NCRE plants has particular interest to the Chilean economy, due to the great domestic energy potential and regulatory framework in place, aimed to reduce CO2 emissions by 2030, and projecting to reach 2025 with at least 20% of its energy generation footprint by means of NCRE technologies (solar, wind, hydro, biomass, etc.)

•  Of all the NCRE technologies, Solar2 is the one experiencing fastest growth: 76% of Chilean NCRE projects comprise solar technology, representing 5% of the total installed capacity to the Central Interconnected System (SIC). When former President Bachelet left office back in 2014, NCRE comprised just 7% of the total Power Grid. Fast forward to 2017, these figures have more than doubled currently set at 17% (including testing centrals).

•  One of the contributing factors of such growth, according to ENEL Green Power, is due to the overall cost reduction of these technologies. Costs associated to Solar panels have decreased ca.90% since 2009 and approx. 50% in wind farm installations.

•  Few barriers still remain though in the expansion of a “greener” energy footprint in Chile, such as the capacity shortage in the transmission lines and several out-dated power plants presenting difficulties to adapt and interconnect with new NCRE technologies.

•  In particular to green energy production, the NCRE is affected by “intermittence and variability” factors and the difficulty of storing all such energy when it is done at scale. It requires an almost close-match between supply and demand curves in order to avoid waste. Clean Tech Venture seeks to develop an innovate business model through diversification, which will allow us to generate NCRE energy minimising these “by nature” characteristics.

•  It is important to note that a diversified portfolio of NCRE projects will also bring about stability to the National Power Grid.

•  The mission of CORFO’s Development and Growth Fund is to promote and support investment vehicles that could finance and foster the development of small and medium Chilean businesses, with high growth potential and throughout their expansion phase.

•  CORFO’s financial leverage could be considered quasi-capital, as it works like a debt instrument with a contingent 10 year BCU interest rate (Chile Central Bank treasury bullet bond) CPI-indexed plus a 2%, to be paid at liquidation of the fund. In the event of an adverse outcome upon which the fund could incur into losses, CORFO will not claw back on its investment.

•  The leverage effect of this financial support will allow investors (Limited Partners) to raise their ROI between 5 to 10 basic points, depending on the performance of the fund.

•  CORFO credit line has a minimum size of US$5 million and a maximum size of US$2 million. The debt-capital matching principle is set to 1:1 with a potential upward of 1.5:1 (debt-to-equity) upon achieving pre-established milestones. The credit line may increase or decrease by 25%. By means of project finance leverage schemes, the maximum fund “dry powder” capacity would be approximately US$80 to US$90 million.

•  The beneficiaries shall be companies with a maximum initial equity capital of US$9 million.

•  Loans granted under CORFO’s program shall be bullet type repayment with a maturity term not exceeding 12 years and accrue interest at the annual BCU ten-year rate for loans expressed in UF (Unidades de Fomento, an inflation adjusted metric) with interest to capitalise on an annual basis on the last day of each calendar year.

•  In the event of a dividend distribution, the fund shall pay CORFO an amount equal to the total dividend distribution multiplied by the leveraged ratio used per particular NCRE3 project (in accordance with the Fund balance used to calculate the dividends to be paid out) These amounts shall pay down against any accrued interest, and principal (in the event of surplus of the annual interest).

•  Upon Fund liquidation, the resulting amounts shall be paid out in accordance with the following order of priority:

!  Senior creditors (non CORFO) !  Accrued interest not yet paid on the loans granted by CORFO. !  Total outstanding principal not yet repaid to CORFO !  LPs principal investments expressed in UF !  Hurdle rates !  Remaining profits according to the Fund’s bylaws schedule

•  CORFO shall be paid the amount necessary to complete the total 10-year BCU +2% per annum for the loans expressed in Unidades de Fomento on the amount effectively disbursed to the Fund, to be calculated with an annually capitalised interest.

•  In any event, the amount CORFO might be entitled to upon a capital distribution may not exceed 25% of the amounts available (after having paid all investors in the order of priority previously indicated). To determine this additional interest, the total re-liquidation of the loan since its first disbursement shall be effected. To this end, payments received against capital and interest shall be re-calculated to the amount effectively disbursed by CORFO to the Fund.

•  In the event that no capital distribution has occurred prior to the maturity date of the loan granted by CORFO, a penalty interest of 8% per annum shall accrue, calculated on the amount of capital owed and interest, capitalized annually, calculated up to said date.

•  If, as a consequence of the need to liquidate the Fund, it is deemed necessary to transfer investments to investors in shares, the price to be agreed upon will be the result of financial evaluations carried out by two industry recognised independent appraisers proposed by the Fund Manager and authorized by CORFO.

3 Different NCRE project could bear different leverage ratios.

Cleantech Ventures counts with a portfolio of NCRE projects in different stages of development, able to meet the commercial commitments: Contract award notice, either by a bidding process or through free clients energy contracts. This portfolio of projects will allow CTV to set up a energy “generation curve” by means of NCRE projects subject to a BB+ risk classification by financial institutions. This energy curve has the following parameters: •  Contract award will account between 55% and 70% of energy generation, with the rest to be

allocated throughout the spot sale market. •  It will have a contract fulfilment minimum probability over 70% but seeking values above 80%.

Due to the main drivers of this generation curve, Clean Tech Ventures will be highly competitive and able to secure medium and long term energy contracts. One of the main features of this business model is the diversification of technologies. This will allow CTV to meet the required 24/7 supply of service mandatory contractual condition, either for free clients and/or throughout a public bidding process for regulated clients.
