   Foresight Solar Fund Limited: Trading Update : Acquisition facility 
refinancing and extension of Wymeswold Solar Plant 
 
   Foresight Solar Fund Limited ("The Company") is pleased to confirm the 
refinancing of its acquisition facility which has also been extended 
from GBP100m to GBP120m.  The facility has been refinanced through RBS 
and Santander at preferential terms against the original facility as 
below. 
 
 
 
 
Facility  Tenor  Libor + 
GBP100m   3 yr   225bps 
GBP20m    1 yr   185bps 
 
 
 
   This facility will be drawn to fund future operational UK solar power 
plant acquisitions.  It is expected that the facility will be repaid 
through utilisation of further equity issuance under the GBP200m Placing 
Programme which remains open until September 2015 and which has already 
raised GBP96.2m, and/or refinancing with a long-term debt facility. 
 
   In addition, the Company is pleased to announce a 2.2MWp extension to 
its Wymeswold plant in Leicestershire at a total cost of GBP1.8 million. 
Wymeswold was the first operational plant acquired by the Company in 
November 2013 at 32.2MWp with a ROC accreditation of 2.0ROCs, having 
been connected to the grid in March 2013.  This 2.2MWp extension 
represents a 7% increase in capacity at the plant, bringing it up to 
34.4MWp, and has been connected to the grid before the 31 March 2015 
deadline for 1.4ROC accreditation.   This 2.2MWp extension at 1.4ROCs 
does not affect the 2.0ROC accreditation obtained for the initial 
32.2MWp of installed capacity.
