Generation portfolio deferred consideration update

Good Energy Group PLC (AIM: GOOD), the 100% renewable electricity supplier and innovative energy services provider, today announces deferred consideration received in relation to the disposal of its 47.5MW renewable generation asset portfolio ("Portfolio") as part of an ongoing strategic shift to energy and mobility services.

Transaction summary

On 20 January 2022 the Company announced the disposal of its 47.5MW generation portfolio to Bluefield Solar Income Fund. Total consideration of up to GBP24.5m was comprised of initial and deferred payments. The initial consideration of GBP16.4m, less distributions since the lockbox date of GBP0.7m, resulted in GBP15.7m being paid to the Company on completion. At that time, deferred consideration of up to GBP8.1m remained to be paid, with the final amount to be calculated with reference to an agreed financial model and based on the actual operational, technical, real estate and financial position of the Portfolio.

Deferred consideration update

The final deferred consideration payment has been agreed as follows:

-- GBP4.3m has now been paid, with a further up to GBP0.5m to be paid on 30 June 2022, subject to Good Energy meeting all its payment obligations up to that date for power supplied by the Portfolio to it under the power purchase agreements.

   --    The total deferred consideration is therefore agreed to be up to GBP4.8m.

-- Of the GBP3.3m that will not be received, GBP2.3m arose due to the impact of a third-party energy yield assessment on the agreed financial model and GBP1m arose during detailed technical and financial due diligence.

-- Total consideration received to date is therefore GBP20.7m, with an agreed final total consideration of up to GBP21.2m by 30 June 2022.

Nigel Pocklington, Chief Executive Officer of Good Energy, said:

"The sale of our generation portfolio, at a significant premium to book value, is a fantastic deal for our stakeholders. It is also a significant moment for Good Energy - we are using the capital from our past to invest in our future.

"Following the shareholder support we received at the recent general meeting, we look forward to continuing to execute against our clear and well supported strategic direction. We have an ambitious plan to capitalise on a rapidly growing market in decentralised, digitised clean energy and transport services, based on 100% real renewable power."
