Multi-win character 1. Energy Service Companies (ESCOs) can grow their business gaining access to financing for profitable retrofits in energy efficiency. 2. Clients get free upgrade of their buildings, production facilities and/or infrastructure and realize energy cost savings. 3. The fund achieves attractive returns for its investors. 4. The environment profits from measurable green house gas reductions. SUSI Energy Efficiency Fund Partnership with technology partners to finance energy efficiency projects of clients with a tight investment budget. SUSI is looking for technology partners supporting clients with energy efficiency solutions. In cases of a tight investment budget from the client side, the SEEF provides a 100% financing of the investment volume.

In return, the ESCO receives a portion of the savings in energy costs, to cover expenditures for financing, planning and controlling and implementing the project. The SUSI Energy Efficiency Fund takes the role of the financing party in the contract, while the technical obligation is actually fulfilled by an ESCO. The ESCO guarantees the savings that are to be achieved by the project. SUSI Energy Efficiency Fund Reduction of EU greenhouse gas emissions by at least 20 % below the level of 1990. Increase the share of renewable energy sources of the EU’s gross final energy consumption to at least 20 %. Reduction of primary energy consumption by 20 % compared to the extrapolation of today's consumption through improvements in energy efficiency. Regulations – Risk of rising prices Increased retrofit regulations are expected in the coming years; it is possible to save money and sustain the value of the buildings with an early retrofitting. Taxes increase energy prices. Expectation from tenants/clients Tenants are looking for energy efficient buildings. Clients are looking for energy efficient products. The energy price risk exposure can be lowered significantly through energy efficiency retrofits.

The ESCO assesses the energy savings potential achievable through the retrofitting of lighting, heating, cooling, building management systems, etc. If the project is approved, the fund will conduct Due Diligence and assess the Investment. Depending on the contractual structure the fund signs a contract with the owner/client receiving typically 50-90% of the energy savings over a 4-12 year period. Technology risks are mitigated by the ESCO, which issues a minimum savings guarantee. At the end of the contract the full project rights and energy savings are handed over to the owner/client. Investment of € 4.0 m and return of € 5.6 m over 10 years (less operating costs, fund costs, etc.; not taking into account inflation ) Page 5 SUSI Energy Efficiency Fund 01 Summary >> 02 About SUSI Partners >> 03 Business model >> 04 Typical projects >> 05 Business opportunities SUSI Energy Efficiency project focus and investment criteria: Types of projects Project selection criteria Industrial processes electric motors pumps heat recovery etc. Buildings heating, ventilation and air conditioning building management systems lighting etc. potential projects project duration of 4-12 years investment volume of EUR 3 to 30 m focus on Western Europe and EUR positive environmental impact proven technology Public infrastructre SUSI Energy Efficiency Fund street lights hospitals public swimming pools public facilities etc. solid credit rating of customer projects Page 6 SUSI Energy Efficiency Fund 01 Summary >> 02 About SUSI Partners >> 03 Business model >> 04 Typical projects >> 05 Business opportunities Typical projects of the SUSI Energy Efficiency Fund Project Implemented efficiency measures Simple payback Major German car manufacturer Complete replacement of the lighting system with LED lights 2.3 years € 3.5 mio Service contract with SUSI as counter party Three school buildings in Baden-Wurttemberg Execution of various energy efficiency measures 8.7 years € 2.0 mio Forfaiting of customer payments from EPC contract Retrofit of residential building in Madrid Efficiency measures concerning HVAC1 and building management system 8.7 years € 1.9 mio Forfaiting of customer payments from EPC contract Shopping mall in Scandinavia Retrofit of ventilation, heating system and building management system 8.0 years € 1.4 mio Forfaiting of customer payments from EPC contract Building portfolio retrofit large German logistics company Efficient heating system incl.
