Chair's Letter
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
only | STATUS |
STRATEGIC INITIATIVE |
Dear Investors,
On behalf of New Energy Solar Limited (NEW), I present the full-year report for the 12 months ended 31 December 2021.
In 2021 there were a number of changes consistent with the Board's intention to address the share price discount to net asset value (NAV). Specifically, NEW implemented the following recommendations of the Strategic Review conducted in late 2020 (Strategic Review).
Sale of NEW's shares in US Solar Fund Plc
useSale of up to a 50% interest in the Mount Signal 2 (MS2) solar power plant
Sale of the two Australian power plants and exit from the Australian electricity market
Un-stapling to simplify corporate structure and streamline corporate governance
Use of asset sale proceeds to pay down debt
Return of capital through equal access off-market buyback
Further to the above, NEW commenced an on-market buyback at the end of 2021. However, it has been personalpaused while the Board contemplates further action to address the share price discount which has persisted
despite completion of the initiatives set out above.
The Board's actions to date have resulted in a simplified structure and more streamlined reporting, the sale of some assets, a reduction in debt and a return of some capital to shareholders. However, despite these
i itiatives, not enough progress has been made on closing the share price discount.
The Strategic Review contemplated additional phases if the share price discount did not improve and accordingly, the Board is now in the process of revisiting the recommendations. As indicated in the business update announcement on 11 February 2022, these recommendations include the sale of individual assets or the sale of the whole portfolio.
We will ensure shareholders are updated on our progress in keeping with NEW's obligations of continuous disclosure.
