Foresight Sustainable Forestry Company Plc
Proposed Placing and Offer for Subscription
( together the "Issue")
Further Afforestation Site Acquisition
Foresight Sustainable Forestry Company Plc ("FSF" or the
"Company"), an investment company that invests in UK forestry and
afforestation assets, today announces that it is fully deployed
following its most recent acquisition and is proposing to undertake
a placing (the "Placing") and an offer for subscription (the "Offer
for Subscription") for new ordinary shares in the Company ("New
Ordinary Shares") at a price of 107 pence per New Ordinary Share
(the "Issue Price") to capitalise on a growing pipeline of
potential acquisitions, of which GBP76.8 million is under option or
exclusivity.
The Company's largest shareholder, Blackmead Infrastructure
Limited ("BIL"), part of the Foresight Inheritance Tax Fund
("FITF"), has committed to subscribe for up to 29.99% of the New
Ordinary Shares available under the Placing.
The majority of the Company's Board and both Fund Managers will
also participate in the Issue.
The Issue
The Placing constitutes a "Subsequent Placing" under the
Company's existing Placing Programme and the terms and conditions
of the Placing are set out in Part 13 of the Company's prospectus
dated 28 October 2021 (the "Prospectus"), a copy of which is
available for review on the Company's website at
https://fsfc.foresightgroup.eu/foresight/g55h1wab/foresight-sustainable-forestry-company-plc-prospectus.pdf
The Board believes it is important to ensure that current and
new retail shareholders have the opportunity to participate in the
Issue and is therefore launching the Offer for Subscription to
provide retail investors with the ability to subscribe for New
Ordinary Shares in the Issue. The Offer for Subscription is being
made under an exemption against the need for an approved prospectus
provided for under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 and
consequently the quantum of the Offer for Subscription shall not
exceed the Sterling equivalent of EUR8.0 million.
Further details relating to the Placing and the Offer for
Subscription are set out below and in the Appendix.
Company Overview and first Interim Results
On 13 June 2022, FSF completed the acquisition of Coed Doethie,
an afforestation site located in Ceredigion, Wales, with a total
area of 115 hectares. The acquired property is well suited for the
establishment of a high yielding woodland creation scheme and was
acquired for GBP1.3 million (inclusive of tax and other transaction
costs). The Company is now considered to have fully deployed the
IPO proceeds of GBP130 million.
Since the Company's IPO in November 2021, FSF has acquired 40
individual properties. The total size of the Company's portfolio
(the "Portfolio") is 8,658 hectares, of which 37% by value are
afforestation properties. The properties (by value) are located in
Scotland (80%), Wales (12%) and England (8%).
The Company's first unaudited Interim Results to 31 March 2022
have also been released today and are available on the Company's
website at https://fsfc.foresightgroup.eu/ .
Pipeline
-- The Company intends to increase the size of the Portfolio by
acquiring an imminent pipeline of 22 UK forestry and afforestation
assets extending over more than 9,500 hectares, totaling c.GBP76.8
million of expected deployment (inclusive of tax and transaction
costs) (the " Imminent Pipeline " ). The Imminent Pipeline
includes properties under exclusivity ( " Exclusive Pipeline
" ) and those where an exclusive option to buy agreement is
in place (the " Option Pipeline " ).
-- The Company's Exclusive Pipeline includes 14 properties, spanning
over 6,500 hectares and over GBP43.2 million of deployment
opportunity (inclusive of tax and transaction costs), that
all have headline terms agreed with the respective vendors
and the Company has been granted an exclusivity period to complete
its due diligence and conclude the transaction. By value, the
Exclusive Pipeline is split between afforestation (63%) and
mixed afforestation and standing forestry (37%) properties.
All of the properties in the Exclusive Pipeline are located
in Scotland.
-- The Company's Option Pipeline includes an exclusive Option
Agreement that FSF entered into with Foresight Inheritance
Tax Fund ( " FITF " ) for an additional eight forestry properties
covering more than 3,000 hectares and equivalent to GBP33.7
million of deployment opportunity (inclusive of tax and transaction
costs), valid until 31 December 2022 (as detailed in the Company's
announcement on 3 May 2022). By value, the Option Pipeline
is split between standing forestry (70%) and afforestation
(25%) and mixed standing forestry and afforestation (5%) properties
and is all located in Scotland (100%).
-- By value, the Imminent Pipeline is split between afforestation
(46%), forestry (31%) and mixed forestry and afforestation
assets (23%).
-- In addition to the Imminent Pipeline, the Company intends to
further increase the size of the Portfolio by pursuing a longer
list of further potential acquisition opportunities. These
opportunities will include selective on-market standing forestry
and afforestation opportunities. At the current time, there
are 23 live on and off market opportunities that span over
14,500 hectares with over GBP73 million of deployment opportunity.
Of this, 43% (by value) are afforestation opportunities, 35%
are mixed standing forestry and afforestation opportunities
and 19% are standing forestry opportunities.
-- Following the expansion of FSF's mapping activity since IPO,
the Company has identified over 4,500 properties that potentially
meet its afforestation criteria, covering an area in excess
of 860,000 hectares, equivalent to over GBP10 billion of potential
opportunity. This activity has driven a material boost to the
Company's addressable market in the UK and provides confidence
in FSF's ability to originate further attractive, off-market
afforestation properties going forward.
-- The Company expects to have deployed the net proceeds of the
Issue into the Imminent Pipeline and the Further Pipeline within
a period of c. 6 months from the date of closing of the Issue.
-- As set out in the Prospectus, the Company intends to make use
of a Revolving Credit Facility ( " RCF " ) to further support
Portfolio growth. Significant progress has been made by the
Company in securing an RCF on favorable terms. A tender process
has been completed and a preferred lender has been selected.
The Company currently anticipates closing the RCF during the
latter part of 2022.
Strong relative performance
-- From the Company's IPO in November 2021 to 31 March 2022, FSF
delivered a total NAV return (unaudited) of 4.2%.
-- FSF's reported NAV (unaudited) as at 31 March 2022 was 104.2p
per ordinary share.
-- As at 31 May 2022, FSF's share price total return from IPO
had increased by 15.0% compared with 3.2% for the FTSE All
Share.
Richard Davidson, Chair of FSF, said:
" The Company's first seven months of trading have seen us
successfully deliver on our strategy and reach several key
milestones and we are delighted to be able to return to the market
for further funding now. Trading volumes and positive share price
momentum provide an indication of the strong investor support we
are seeing for our strategy and increasing recognition of the
imbalance between supply and demand in UK timber. "
Robert Guest and Richard Kelly, FSF Co-Fund Managers,
commented:
" As the London Stock Exchange's first natural capital
investment company, we are thrilled to have been able to build an
attractive portfolio of both afforestation and forestry assets
ahead of the six to nine months originally envisaged. There is a
very active market for UK afforestation sites in particular and we
have developed a large, exciting pipeline of likely and potential
deals. Further capital will allow us to significantly increase the
impact of the Company through additional carbon sequestration and
to further the supply of much-needed sustainable UK timber, whilst
also continuing to provide wider societal benefits. "
Details of the Placing
The Placing will be made to Qualified Investors (within the
meaning of Article 2(e) of the UK version of Regulation (EU)
2017/2019 which is part of UK domestic law by virtue of the EUWA,
as amended) (the "UK Prospectus Regulation") through Jefferies
International Limited ("Jefferies"), subject to the terms and
conditions set out in Part 13 (Terms and Conditions of the Initial
Placing and the Placing Programme) of the Prospectus. The
allocation of any New Ordinary Shares to any Qualified Investor
shall be at the absolute discretion of Jefferies (in consultation
with the Company and Foresight Group LLP (the "Investment
Manager")).
The Placing is expected to close at 3.00 p.m. (London time) on
23 June 2022, but may close earlier or later at the absolute
discretion of the Company (subject only to the consent of
Jefferies).
It is intended that New Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to the
Placing will be allocated as equitably as possible, however, for
the avoidance of doubt, the Placing is not being conducted on a
formal statutory pre-emptive basis and accordingly there can be no
guarantee that existing Shareholders wishing to participate in the
Placing will receive all of the New Ordinary Shares for which they
have applied. The decision to allot New Ordinary Shares to any
Qualified Investor shall be at the absolute discretion of the
Company and Jefferies.
Jefferies, in agreement with the Company, may choose to accept
orders under the Placing, either in whole or in part, and may scale
down any orders for this purpose, on such basis as the Company and
Jefferies may determine. Jefferies may also, notwithstanding the
above, subject to the prior consent of the Company: (i) allocate
New Ordinary Shares after the time of any initial allocation to any
person submitting an order after that time; and (ii) allocate New
Ordinary Shares after the Placing has closed to any person
submitting an order after that time.
By making an offer to subscribe for New Ordinary Shares under
the Placing, investors will be deemed to have accepted the terms
and conditions set out in Part 13 (Terms and Conditions of the
Initial Placing and the Placing Programme) of the Prospectus, or
such other terms as may be agreed by the Company and the relevant
subscriber. An investor that has made an offer to subscribe for New
Ordinary Shares under the Placing accepts that following the
closing of the Placing such offer shall be irrevocable and may not
be withdrawn or amended without the consent of the Directors. Upon
being notified of its allocation of New Ordinary Shares in the
Placing, an investor shall be contractually committed to acquire
the number of New Ordinary Shares allocated to it at the Issue
Price per New Ordinary Share allocated to it.
Details of the Offer for Subscription
The Board believes it is important to ensure that current and
new retail shareholders have the opportunity to participate in the
Issue and is therefore launching the Offer for Subscription to
provide retail investors with the ability to subscribe for New
Ordinary Shares in the Issue.
There is a minimum subscription amount of 1,000 New Ordinary
Shares at the Issue Price per applicant under the terms of the
Offer for Subscription. The Company reserves the right to scale
back any order at its absolute discretion, following consultation
with Jefferies and the Investment Manager. The Company also
reserves the right to reject any application for subscription under
the Offer for Subscription without giving any reason for such
rejection.
The Offer for Subscription is being made under an exemption
against the need for an approved prospectus provided for under the
Financial Services and Markets Act 2000. As such, no prospectus or

About the Company
Foresight Sustainable Forestry Company Plc ( " the Company " )
is an externally managed investment company investing in a
diversified portfolio of UK forestry and afforestation assets.
Targeting a net total return of more than CPI +5% p.a., the Company
provides investors with the opportunity for real returns and
capital appreciation driven by the prevailing global imbalance
between supply and demand for timber; the inflation-protection
qualities of UK land freeholds; and biological tree growth of 3% to
4% not correlated to financial markets. It also offers outstanding
sustainability and ESG attributes and access to carbon units
related to carbon sequestration from new afforestation planting.
The Company targets value creation as the afforestation projects
successfully achieve development milestones in the process of
converting open ground into established commercial forest and
woodland areas. The Company is seeking to make a direct
contribution in the fight against climate change through forestry
and afforestation carbon sequestration initiatives and to preserve
and proactively enhance natural capital and biodiversity across its
portfolio. It is managed by Foresight Group LLP.

Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements
contained within PROD 3 of the FCA's Product Intervention and
Product Governance Sourcebook (the " Product Governance

arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any " manufacturer "
(for the purposes of the Product Governance Requirements) may
otherwise have with respect thereto, the New Ordinary Shares have

that the New Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to the Issue
are: (i) compatible with an end target market of retail investors
and investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and
eligible counterparties, each as defined in COBS 3.5 and 3.6 of the
FCA's Conduct of Business Sourcebook, respectively; and (ii)
eligible for distribution through all distribution channels as are
permitted by the Product Governance Requirements (the " Target
Market Assessment " ).

should note that: (a) the price of the New Ordinary Shares may
decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment;
the New Ordinary Shares offer no guaranteed income and no capital
protection; (b) an investment in the New Ordinary Shares is
compatible only with investors who do not need a guaranteed income
or capital protection, who (either alone or in conjunction with an
appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating
the merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient
resources to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom.
The Target Market Assessment is without prejudice to the
requirements of any contractual, legal or regulatory selling
restrictions in relation to the Issue. Furthermore, it is noted

7 Money Laundering
7.1 You agree that, in order to ensure compliance with the Money
Laundering Regulations, the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 and any
other applicable regulations, the Receiving Agent may at its
absolute discretion require verification of identity of you (the
" holder(s) " ) as the applicant lodging an Application Form
and further may request from you and you will assist in providing
identification of:
-- the owner(s) and/or controller(s) (the " payor " ) of
any bank account not in the name of the holder(s) on
which is drawn a payment by way of banker's draft or
cheque; or
-- where it appears to the Receiving Agent that a holder
or the payor is acting on behalf of some other person
or persons.
7.2 Any delay or failure to provide the necessary evidence of identity
may result in your application being rejected or delays in crediting
CREST accounts or the despatch of documents.
7.3 Without prejudice to the generality of this paragraph 7, verification
of the identity of holders and payors will be required if the
value of the New Ordinary Shares applied for, whether in one
or more applications considered to be connected, exceeds EUR10,000
(or the Sterling equivalent). If you use a building society cheque
or banker's draft you should ensure that the bank or building
society issuing the payment enters the name, address and account
number of the person whose account is being debited on the reverse
of the cheque or banker's draft and adds its stamp.
7.4 If, in such circumstances, the person whose account is being
debited is not a holder you will be required to provide for both
the holder and the payor an original or a copy of that person's
passport or driving licence certified by a solicitor and an original
or certified copy of the following no more than three months
old, a gas, electricity, water or telephone (not mobile) bill,
a recent bank statement or a council tax bill, in their name
and showing their current address (which originals will be returned
by post at the addressees' risk) together with a signed declaration
as to the relationship between the payor and you the holder.
7.5 For the purpose of the Money Laundering Regulations a person
making an application for New Ordinary Shares will not be considered
as forming a business relationship with the Company or the Receiving
Agent but will be considered as effecting a one-off transaction
with either the Company or with the Receiving Agent. Submission
of an Application Form with the appropriate remittance will constitute
a warranty to each of the Company and the Receiving Agent from
the applicant that the Money Laundering Regulations will not
be breached by the application of such remittance.
7.6 The person(s) submitting an application for Ordinary Shares will
ordinarily be considered to be acting as principal in the transaction
unless the Receiving Agent determines otherwise, whereupon you
may be required to provide the necessary evidence of identity
of the underlying beneficial owner(s). Whilst the Receiving Agent
may carry out checks on any application, they are usually only
performed when dealing with application values above a certain
threshold, commonly referred to as the anti-money laundering
threshold which is EUR10,000 (or the Sterling equivalent).

Australia, the Republic of South Africa or a corporation, partnership
or other entity organised under the laws of the U.S. or Canada
(or any political subdivision of either) or Japan or Australia
or the Republic of South Africa and that you are not subscribing
for such New Ordinary Shares for the account of any U.S. Person
or resident of Canada, Japan, Australia or the Republic of South
Africa and will not offer, sell, renounce, transfer or deliver,
directly or indirectly, any of the New Ordinary Shares in or
into the United States, Canada, Japan, Australia or the Republic
of South Africa or to any U.S. Person or person resident in Canada,
