Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for 1,627,044 ordinary shares to be admitted to trading.

Dealings are expected to commence at 8:00 a.m. on 29 September 2017.

Immediately following Admission, the Company's issued share capital will comprise 573,059,889 ordinary shares, none of which will be held in treasury. Each ordinary share carries the right to one vote and, therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company on Admission will be 573,059,889. This figure may be used by shareholders and other investors as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

Notes to Editors:

NESF is a specialist investment company that invests in operating solar power plants in the UK. Its objective is to secure attractive shareholder returns through RPI-linked dividends and long-term capital growth. The Company achieves this by acquiring solar power plants on agricultural, industrial and commercial sites.

NESF has raised equity proceeds of GBP586m since its initial public offering on the main market of the London Stock Exchange in April 2014. It also has credit facilities of GBP269.8m in place (GBP150m from a syndicate including MIDIS, NAB and CBA; MIDIS: GBP54.3m; Bayerische Landesbank: GBP43.8m; and NIBC: GBP21.7m).

NESF is differentiated by its access to NextEnergy Capital Group (NEC Group), its Investment Manager, which has a strong track record in sourcing, acquiring and managing operating solar assets.
