US SOLAR FUND PLC

(the 'Company')

Potential Portfolio Sale - Award Of Exclusivity

US Solar Fund plc (LON: USF (USD)/USFP (GBP)), the renewable energy fund investing in utility-scale solar power plants across North America, announces that it has received a non-binding letter of intent in respect of the proposed sale of USF Holding Corp, the Company's subsidiary which holds its entire portfolio of solar generation assets.

The Board of the Company announces that, further to an initial non-binding letter of intent and based on the review of the assets undertaken during a subsequent period of engagement with a prospective buyer (the "Buyer"), it has now received a further letter of intent for the disposal of its portfolio (the "Potential Transaction") from the Buyer. The letter of intent remains non-binding at this time. The Potential Transaction is at an indicative value representing a significant premium to the Company's current market capitalisation and would include a cash offer for the portfolio paid in full at closing. The portfolio comprises 41 operational solar projects with a combined generation capacity totalling 443 MWDC. The Buyer has requested, and the Board has agreed to grant, an exclusivity period of 90 days, subject to customary carve-outs. The Potential Transaction is subject to due diligence and the negotiation of definitive legal documentation. The identity of the Buyer and further details of the Potential Transaction are not being made public at this time.

While discussions are ongoing, there can be no certainty that a transaction will be agreed upon or as to the final terms of any such agreement. Should the Potential Transaction proceed, it is expected that it will be subject to a shareholder vote. The Board is committed to maximising value for shareholders and will provide a further update, including engaging with shareholders when appropriate.
