WHAT AM I ABOUT TO INVEST IN?

The crowdfunding campaign consists of financing the company Capital Projects JFB, S.L., so that it can cover various payments related to its activity and successfully complete the development of 4 projects for the installation of photovoltaic solar energy systems in different locations in France.

The company is completing the development of these plants (all with peak powers below 500 kWp) and plans to sell or execute these installations once all construction permits are obtained (reaching the industry jargon of "Ready to Build" state).

THE PLANTS

Capital Projects is currently managing 7 MWp of power in France in various projects under development. For the proposed crowdfunding campaign, Capital Projects has submitted documentation to Ener2Crowd and its investors regarding 4 distinct projects, described below:

- Laforge: construction of a photovoltaic solar power plant in Montipouret, France, with a peak power of 320 kWp. The strategy involves selling energy to the French government at a fixed price of 120 Euro/MWh (unilaterally established by the French government for all installations in France below 500 kWp, to incentivize small installations in the territory).
- Gaec Les Plantes: construction of three photovoltaic solar power plants in Romans, France, with peak powers of 500 kWp, 330 kWp, and 340 kWp respectively. The strategy is to sell energy to the French government at a fixed price of 120 Euro/MWh.
- Gesnouin: construction of two photovoltaic solar power plants in Azat Le Ris, France, with peak powers of 500 kWp and 420 kWp respectively. Again, the strategy is to sell energy to the French government at a fixed price of 120 Euro/MWh.
- Earl La Pezeau: construction of three photovoltaic solar power plants in Menigoute, France, with peak powers of 130 kWp, 190 kWp, and 330 kWp respectively. The strategy involves selling energy to the French government at a fixed price of 120 Euro/MWh.

HOW IS THE INVESTMENT REPAID?

In total, 3.06 MWp were submitted for financing. These development projects were evaluated at a price of 75.000 Euros per MW of power for the financing offered to investors. The total power of all the aforementioned projects is 3 MW, so a total financing of 225.000 Euros is offered (with a flexibility range of 25.000 Euros more or less).

A calculation and an external certification of the evaluation made per MW of power are available in the "Financial Data" section, under the "Due Diligence: Expert Opinion" entry.

To cope with the repayment of these amounts, Capital Projects has two different strategies it can adopt:

Operation of the project and refinancing of the amount borrowed for development: on one hand, it could choose to maintain ownership of the projects in the long term, completing and operating them. In this case, the debt contracted with Ener2Crowd investors would mature before the generation of the cash flows necessary for its repayment. For this reason, the Project Owner would refinance the long-term debt with another financial entity. Currently, the Project Owner has already initiated conversations with several financial entities that would allow refinancing these amounts over a longer period (during the entire project operation).

Sale of the project to a third party: in the event that it wants to close the project and obtain liquidity in advance (which would allow reinvestment in other development projects), Capital Projects could choose to sell the project to a third party, which it could do at an estimated valuation shown in the following section.

QUALITATIVE SCORING AND FINANCIAL SCORING

ENERSCORE+ & FINANCIAL SCORING

Ener2Crowd provides a first qualitative parameter called "EnerScore+" that is assigned to each individual investment proposal. This parameter defines a SCORING that objectively, comprehensively, and understandably summarizes all the data that characterize the project from a technical point of view, ranging from an ESG evaluation expressed in CLASSES, to a verification of activated SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals).

A specific Financial Rating is provided by Focus Partners, a consulting company with over 15 years of experience in the sector. Their activities include a detailed analysis of the projects to ensure investors an accurate and transparent assessment of the financial health and credit capacity of the Project Holder. Thanks to their extensive experience and expertise in the field, Focus Partners offers a reliable evaluation that allows investors to make informed and conscious decisions regarding their investments.

In the case of the Project proposed by Capital Projects JFB, the resulting EnerScore+ is 6,64, so an ENERSCORE+ B (ESG) is assigned, while it was not possible to assign a Financial Rating.



Qualitative Scoring - EnerScore+
Elements taken into analysis:

• Clarity of project objectives and comprehensibility of descriptions;
• Strategic value of the project;
• Project business plan;
• Clarity of information;
• Technical-design verification;
• Evaluation of the integrity of the project owner's team;
• History and experience on the Platform of the project owner, and if applicable, track record of payment punctuality;
• Coherence of the crowdfunding project with the purposes and mission of the platform, particularly environmental sustainability, innovation, positive impact on the territory, ethics of the service provided, and social impact;
• Activated SDGs by the project;
• ESG report provided by Cerved Rating Agency.

Financial Scoring

Focus Partners, as an independent third party, has analyzed the essential elements of the project under development and projected the future cash flows of the various projects. Further details on the analysis are available in the "Financial Data" section under the "Due Diligence: Expert Opinion" item.

Prudent Evaluation:
Focus Partners has considered the evaluation carried out for the projects to be prudent and in line with financial expectations. This evaluation provides investors with a solid basis for making informed decisions regarding their financial participation.

NOTE: It should be noted that these values represent only a reflection element that an investor can consider in the decision to participate in financing.

INTEREST RATE DEFINITION

In recent months, the global socio-economic context has led to a strong increase in inflation, that is, the prolonged increase in the average level of prices for goods and services. For this reason, the ECB predicts an increase in mortgage and financing rates with the aim of preserving the purchasing power of consumers. In June 2024 after 5 years, the ECB made a first rate cut of 0,25 percentage points following macroeconomic estimates, opening new scenarios in the financial market

INDEXING TO EURIRS AND EURIBOR INDICES

Unlike an initial phase where the effective interest was calculated based on a base rate, corrected through a Correction Factor (Fc), starting from 2024 a new method of defining the Interest Rate is introduced. In this specific case, similar to how Banks define the interest rate applied to loans, in this case, the interest rate is linked to the EURIRS index (in the case of fixed rate) and EURIBOR index (in the case of variable rate).

CAPITAL PROJECTS JFB S.L.

Capital Projects JFB, S.L. is a company dedicated to the development of photovoltaic solar energy generation projects in France. In particular, it focuses on the development of projects with a power capacity of less than 500 kWp, thanks to administrative facilitations for selling the generated energy at a price higher than the market price, thanks to subsidies granted by the French public administration.

History and Experience:
Capital Projects was established in 2023 and its administrator and sole partner has extensive experience in the real estate brokerage and installation of renewable energy generation systems, mainly small-scale, which he has carried out through other companies he owns.

Ongoing Projects:
Capital Projects has approximately 7 MWp in its portfolio to be developed in France, of which 3 MWp will be financed in this campaign by Ener2Crowd investors. The company expects to reach a total portfolio of 12 MWp of projects to be developed in France by the end of 2024.

THE OPINION OF THE ANALYST

Capital Projects is a company established in 2023 that is dedicated, according to its corporate purpose, to "real estate activities, including self-promotion, construction, installations, and maintenance."

Owner and Administrator:
Capital Projects has a sole shareholder, who is also the sole administrator: Jorge Rubén Fumanal Bonsoms. He is an entrepreneur known for his previous activities in real estate brokerage and the construction of small-scale photovoltaic solar power plants, mainly for self-consumption.

Focus Partners Analysis

The analysis was entrusted to Focus Partners, an expert independent consultant, who conducted an analysis of the loan transaction from the perspective of the transaction itself. Below are the various conclusions of the analysis carried out by Focus Partners on the project subject to financing and the loan transaction:

Project Valuation: The projects were valued at a price of 75,000 Euros per MW of power. This is because the average value of the projects in the "Ready to Build" state is estimated to be around 284,000 Euros, with a 50% reduction for not yet being at this stage of progress and an additional 25% discount on the initial amount to offer greater guarantees to investors. The value obtained per MW of the project is 71,000 Euros according to the external analysis, so a final value of 75,000 Euros per MW of the project was agreed upon for rounding purposes.
Prudence Criterion: Despite the projects being close to the "Ready to Build" state (the Project Owner expects them to reach this point within a maximum period of 12 months), the projects were valued with a 75% discount on this valuation to provide additional security to investors in the project.
Sun Hours: The sun hours of irradiation were calculated in each of the areas of France where the projects are located.
Price in Euro per MWh: For the calculation, a selling price of 120 Euros per MWh was used, which is the price guaranteed for 20 years by the French State for the sale of energy generated in this type of installation.

For all these reasons, it is considered that the valuation agreed upon by the Project Owner is reasonable for the object being financed.

CONTRACTUAL STRUCTURE

The crowdfunding campaign will finance the completion of development works initiated by the Project Owner, located in France. The financing is formalized between the investors and Capital Projects JFB, S.L., the company that owns the projects in France.

The projects have been developed by another company, Tierra Solar, S.L., which has transferred the opportunity to execute such projects to Capital Projects, S.L. under various contracts signed between the two parties.

INTEREST RATE OFFERED

Capital Projects has unilaterally decided to offer a significantly higher interest rate than the market rate for this loan for the following reasons:

• The company is aware of the difficulty in raising the necessary funds within a short period of time to continue with the development of the projects, therefore it is offering a higher interest rate than usual to expedite the fundraising process.
• The company acknowledges the lack of real guarantees on the developed projects, thus it is offering a much higher interest rate to compensate for the absence of these real guarantees.
• The company can obtain high returns from the operation and maintenance of these photovoltaic solar power plants and is willing to offer a high interest rate to share these financial benefits with the investor.

CAPEX AND LEVERAGE

The fundraising campaign has a Minimum Funding Goal of 200.000 Euros and a Maximum Funding Goal of 250.000 Euros.

The estimated value of the projects developed in the current state is around 450.000 Euros. The Minimum Funding Goal in Ener2Crowd will cover 44% of the current value of the projects, while the Maximum Goal will cover 56% of the same.

The estimated value of the projects developed in the "Ready to Build" state is around 750.000 Euros. The Minimum Funding Goal in Ener2Crowd will cover 27% of the "Ready to Build" value of the projects, while the Maximum Goal will cover 33% of the same.

AMORTIZATION PLAN

The amortization plan provides for the repayment of the Capital only in the last installment. There are semi-annual installments with only the Interest Portion equal to € 16.250,00

The following amortization plan for Capital Projects JFB S.l. is calculated with an interest rate of 13% for a total of €250.000.

N.B.: The start of the amortization plan is perfected from the first available date after the terms of the release, therefore the table shown is a mere simulation containing the first available date in case of campaign completion at its expiration

BUSINESS PLAN

*before any tax withholdings.

PHOTOVOLTAIC

Photovoltaic panels are devices that convert solar light into electrical energy. Composed of solar cells containing semiconductor materials, the panels capture photons from the sun and transform them into direct current. This clean and renewable energy can be used to power our homes, businesses, transportation, and industries, reducing environmental impact. In addition to this environmental benefit, there is also a financial benefit derived from self-consumption and/or the sale of energy produced by the system. Estimates predict over 50 GW of new photovoltaic capacity for European countries. This would put Europe on a path of expansion, with a forecasted average annual growth of 85 GW by 2026. In 2022, 41.4 GW of photovoltaic installations were installed at the European level, a 47% increase compared to the 2021 figure of 28.1 GW. Photovoltaics represent one of the most promising renewable technologies that can help us move towards decarbonization. Supporting these types of initiatives becomes essential to approach this goal of a more sustainable future.

WHAT ARE THE ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS GENERATED BY THE PROJECT?

With Capital Projects' project, it is estimated that an annual energy saving of 4.200 MWh will be produced. This is equivalent to:


                  CO2

Saving 1.806.000 kg of CO2 in the atmosphere every year

                  CO2

Planting 180.600 trees, enough to cover an area of 921 football fields

                  CO2

Avoiding the exhaust emissions of 1.263 cars every year


These are the effects and benefits that can also be generated thanks to your contribution!
