Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

 

On December 20, 2019, AEN 01 BV (“Buyer”), a Netherlands company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alternus Energy Inc. (“ALTN”), completed the acquisition of an 11.75 MW ground-mounted solar photovoltaic (PV) power plant in Rilland, the Netherlands (the “Project”) from Coöperatie Unisun Energy U.A., a Netherlands corporation (“Seller”) for €10.5 million (approximately $11.8 million) plus a working capital adjustment (“Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price includes the assumption of a third-party senior bank debt facility in the amount of €7.2 million (approximatey $8.1 million), that amortizes equally over the next 14 years. In addition to the Purchase Price, the Seller will be entitled to receive additional consideration from ALTN of up to a maximum of €500,000 (approximately $560,000) in the form of an earn-out payment based on net cash proceeds to equity received over and above a set annual power output of 10,865 MwH.

 

The Project has been operational since January 2019 and enjoys a 15-year government counterparty ‘Feed-in-Tariff’ (“FiT”) contract at fixed sales prices, in addition to a Power Purchase Agreement (“PPA”) with a local energy operator. The combined contracts provide long-term predictable positive cash flows to Alternus.Based on current energy production Rilland is expected to add approximately $1.4 million (€1.2 million) in annual revenues for at least 15 years at average 75% gross margins to Alternus.

 

The acquisition was pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement dated July 29, 2019, entered into by PCG HoldCo UG, another wholly owned subsidiary of ALTN, the Seller and Zonnepark Rilland B.V., as addended to, and assigned to the Buyer, on December 20, 2019 (“Purchase Agreement”). This description of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement included as Exhibit 10.34 to the Company’s Amendment No. 1 to its Form 10 filed November 6, 2019, and its Addendum dated December 20, 2019 is filed as an exhibit hereto.

 

The Buyer funded €1.85 million (approximately $2.1 million) of the Purchase Price through the issuance of a €2.15 million bond (approximately $2.4 million) issued to an accredited investor, bearing interest at 8%, amortizing over 8 years and secured by collateral, including the shares of the Buyer, as further described in the Bond Subscription Agreement, the Call Option Agreement and the Security Agreement, filed as exhibits hereto. ALTN incurred approximately $0.6 million in transaction fees related to the acquisition, some of which were paid from the proceeds of the Bond Subscription Agreement. Additionally, ALTN issued a €1.7 million (approximately $1.87 million) loan to the Seller which is due by January 31, 2020 (the “Loan”), pursuant to a Loan Agreement by and among the Seller, the Buyer and ALTN, filed as an exhibit hereto. If ALTN does not repay the Loan by February 1, 2020, the investor has the right under the Call Option Agreement to require ALTN to sell the shares of Buyer to the investor in exchange for the total amount of the Loan.

 

The description of the agreements above are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreements filed as Exhibits hereto, which are incorporated herein by reference.  The Agreements have been included as exhibits to this Supplemental Report to provide investors and security holders with information regarding its terms and conditions.  It is not intended to provide any financial or other information about the parties to the agreements or their respective subsidiaries or affiliates.
