Enersense selected as the main contractor to upgrade Fingrid’s network in Harjavalta

Enersense International Plc
Investor news, 5 February 2024 at 11:00 a.m.

Enersense, a provider of zero-emission energy solutions, has won Fingrid’s public bidding process to build three new 110 kV substations in the Harjavalta area. The substations will be built as gas insulated switchgear (GIS) using a gas insulation solution that does not contain any SF6 gas which is a significant greenhouse gas. The project will continue until the summer of 2027. The value of the contract is roughly EUR 20 million which will be recognised in the order books of the Power business area for the first quarter of 2024.

“We are happy to continue our successful cooperation with Enersense’s skilled and enthusiastic personnel. The SF6-free projects completed last year in Luukkala and currently in progress in Framnäs following the same concept have proceeded very well, and it will be productive to replicate the lessons learned from them,” says Daniel Kuosa, Head of Substation Projects at Fingrid.

The project is significant for Enersense. “Our order books will be strengthened far into the future, and we can also maintain our position as a provider of sustainable GIS substation solutions. What is more, this project is an excellent extension to our ongoing projects in which we are using the same technology,” says Joni Parkkinen, Vice President of Transmission Networks at Enersense.

The contract agreement will be signed after the appeal period laid down in the Act on Public Procurement and Concession Contracts.

Enersense has signed an agreement with P2X on an equipment and pipeline contract for a green hydrogen production plant

Enersense International Plc
Investor news, 18 July 2023 at 11:15 a.m.

Enersense, a provider of zero-emission energy solutions, has signed an agreement with P2X on an equipment and pipeline contract for Finland’s first renewable green hydrogen production plant. The plant is under construction in Harjavalta and is expected to be commissioned in 2024. The order will be recognised in the order book of Enersense’s Smart Industry business area for the third quarter of 2023.

Earlier this year, Enersense announced that it would be delivering steel structures for reactor modules to Q Power, a supplier of Power-to-X technology, which will be building a synthetic methane plant in connection with P2X’s green hydrogen production plant. 

“It is great to be involved in this project in terms of demanding pipelines. Including the reactor modules to be delivered to Q Power, we are playing a significant role in Finland’s first green hydrogen construction project. These assignments also support the Smart Industry business area’s growth targets,” says Mikko Lampinen, COO, Enersense Works.

Enersense owns 16.3% of P2X Solutions. Through P2X, Enersense is involved in reducing the emissions of heavy transport using hydrogen and synthetic fuels and in enabling energy storage opportunities created by green hydrogen.

Enersense International Plc
Investor news 7 July 2023 at 10:30 a.m

Enersense, a provider of zero-emission energy solutions, will deliver steel structures to Aker Solutions in Norway. Aker Solutions is involved in various offshore projects internationally. Aker Solutions has ordered steel structure modules (pre-assembled units) from Enersense for the Hugin A production platform which is part of the Aker BP-operated Yggdrasil oil and gas development in the North Sea. The order will be included in Enersense’s Smart Industry business area’s third quarter 2023 order book.

“This is a new opening for us in the Norwegian offshore market, and we believe that a well-executed project will enable the expansion of our cooperation into the rapidly growing energy market, where Aker Solutions has strong experience. This order is significant to Enersense Offshore and we are taking the next step on the way towards our growth targets. It shows that the investments in the ramp-up of Enersense Offshore, which we acquired in the autumn of 2021, are beginning to materialise and will enable us to further strengthen our own organisation and partner network,” says Jaakko Leivo, EVP, Smart Industry.

The project will begin with engineering and planning in late summer 2023, and the fabrication of the modules will start in Enersense’s production facilities in Mäntyluoto towards the end of the year. The last modules are scheduled to be delivered in December 2024.

The company enables low-carbon oil and gas production and develops renewable solutions for future energy needs. The company is accelerating the transition to sustainable energy production by combining innovative digital solutions with predictable project implementation.

Enersense selected as the main contractor for Fingrid’s Nuojuankangas–Pyhänselkä substation project

Enersense International Plc
Investor news, 6 June 2023 at 10:30 a.m.

Enersense, a creator of zero emission energy solutions, has won the bidding process for Fingrid’s substation contract to build a new transformer substation and expand the 110 kV switchgear in Nuojuankangas. The project also includes the expansion of the substation in Pyhänselkä. The project will employ Enersense until spring 2026. The value of the contract is more than EUR 20 million, and it will be included in Enersense’s Power segment’s second quarter 2023 order book.

The project is part of Fingrid’s larger project to build a new power transmission line from Pyhänselkä to Huutokoski (expansion of the Järvilinja transmission line). The expanded Järvilinja transmission line ensures and maintains the high reliability of the main grid as the need for electricity transmission increases.

“Strengthening Järvilinja is needed in order to transmit renewable energy from northern Finland as well as electricity through Aurora Line from Sweden to southern Finland. In addition, the new capacity enables connecting wind power and industrial sites in eastern Finland and Kainuu region. Substation projects in Pyhänselkä, Muhos and Nuojuankangas, Vaala are the first major steps in strengthening Järvilinja. It is great to execute these projects together with Enersense. The project is important to both Finland’s main grid and the whole society as it enhances achieving Finland’s climate goals and national competitiveness,” says Daniel Kuosa, Construction Manager, Fingrid.

This project is very significant for Enersense.

“New transmission lines are required as the energy transition proceeds, and it is wonderful that we can carry out this significant customer project in substation construction. This contract strengthens our portfolio in carrying out demanding projects in Finland’s main grid and marks one of the largest projects in the history of Enersense’s transmission network operations,” says Joni Parkkinen, Vice President of Enersense Transmission Networks.

The procurement agreement can be signed once the appeal period in accordance with the Act on Public Procurement and Concession Contracts has ended.

Enersense to explore options to further accelerate execution of growth ambitions to become a significant zero-emission energy producer

Enersense International Plc
Stock exchange release 1 June 2023 at 10:00 a.m.

Enersense has initiated an evaluation of options to further accelerate its growth ambitions within its Power segment, specifically the strategy to become a significant zero-emission energy producer. Enersense’s energy production target by 2027 is 600–700 MW, of which 600 MW would be wind power and 100 MW solar power.

The options to be considered include creating a new, separate Enersense subsidiary for renewable energy development and production and engaging with external parties to identify possible partners that would support an acceleration of the growth strategy. Enersense has engaged BNP Paribas as financial advisor to assist with the evaluation. 

Enersense will carefully evaluate the various options and take the necessary time to consider the best possible solution. Enersense will give an update in due course, if any concrete outcome were to materialise.

Enersense chosen as main contractor for Gigawatti Oy’s Oosinselkä wind farm infrastructure construction

Enersense International Plc
Investor news 17 April 2023 at 11:35 a.m.

Enersense International, a provider of zero-emission energy solutions, has agreed with Gigawatti Oy about construction of the Oosinselkä wind farm in Luvia at Eurajoki, Finland. The order has been booked into Enersense’s Power business area’s first quarter 2023 order book.

Gigawatti Oy’s Oosinselkä wind farm consists of 13 turbines. Enersense will begin the construction works in the summer of 2023. According to plans, the project will be completed by the end of 2024. Enersense will provide construction of the wind farm’s roads and platforms, foundations and internal network as a turnkey delivery.

“The Oosinselkä wind farm is a continuation to the cooperatives long-term investments to increase their own renewable energy. When completed, the wind farm will produce approximately a fifth of the S Group’s electricity demand.  Enersense’s long experience of wind farms’ infrastructure construction was decisive in the selection of the contractor,” says Mikko Halonen, CEO, S-Voima.

”This project in the growing wind power market is important for Enersense. We are very pleased that Gigawatti Oy chose us as their partner in this investment. This enables us to extend our good cooperation from wind power maintenance also to construction projects,” says Maija Isoaho, Head of wind power construction for Enersense’s Power business area.

Gigawatti Oy is fully owned by S-Voima Oy, who is responsible for the S Group’s electricity procurement. S-Voima Oy is owned by the cooperatives and SOK together.

Enersense chosen as main contractor for Fingrid’s project to expand substations in Huittinen-Forssa

Enersense International Plc
Investor news 14 April 2023 at 2:25 p.m.

Enersense International, a provider of zero-emission energy solutions, has won a project in Fingrid’s public procurement tendering regarding substation expansions in Huittinen-Forssa, Finland.

Expanding the substations enables a new transmission link which increases the transmission capacity for electricity and enables for its part the transmission of the excess wind power from the growing west coast production to Southern Finland. It also enables connections for renewable electricity production.

The project will employ Enersense for approximately three years and its preparations will begin immediately. The value of the project is approximately EUR 13 million and it has been booked into Power business area’s first quarter 2023 order book.

“The new Forssa-Huittinen 400 kV transmission link is an important project for both the Finnish grid and society. In the south, consumption of electricity is increasing. At the same time, production is decreasing and is being replaced with wind and nuclear power in the north, which increases the need for electricity transmission. The link will be built responsibly so that it replaces the current 110 kV power line in order to reduce the impact of land use. The connection will essentially increase reliability in maintenance and failure situations. Additionally, in connection with the expansion works, the protection and automation i.e. smart systems of the substations will be modernized. Cooperation with Enersense has always been straightforward and the quality of project execution has been excellent”, says Daniel Kuosa, Construction Manager, Fingrid.

This substation expansion project is important to Enersense.

“Energy transition is proceeding which means new transmission connections are needed. The substation expansions will enable this. Our goal is to enhance the energy transition for our part. At the same time the project strengthens our portfolio as an implementor of demanding Finnish national grid projects,” says Joni Parkkinen, Vice President, Transmission Networks business area at Enersense.

The decision shall enter into force after the end of the appeal period under the Act on Public Procurement and Concession Contracts.

Entering the green hydrogen economy: Enersense delivers modular structures to Q Power for a synthetic methane production plant

Enersense International Plc
Investor news, 6 March 2023 at 12:00 p.m.

Enersense, a provider of zero-emission energy solutions, and Q Power, a company specialising in Power-to-X technology deliveries, have entered into a significant agreement on the delivery of steel structures for reactor modules for a methanation plant. The agreement is related to the synthetic methane production plant delivered by Q Power to P2X Solutions in Harjavalta. The plant is being built in connection with a green hydrogen production plant. P2X’s green hydrogen and synthetic methane production plants are pioneers in the Finnish hydrogen economy and the production of synthetic fuels in Finland. They are the first plants of their kind and scale in the country.

Some of the hydrogen produced sustainably in Harjavalta will be processed into synthetic methane at the methanation plant supplied by Q Power. The plant will be delivered and commissioned in 2024 at the same time as the green hydrogen production plant. The modular structures will be manufactured in Enersense’s production facilities in Mäntyluoto. The order will be recognised in the order book of Enersense’s Smart Industry business area for the first quarter of 2023.

Q Power’s process is live: the reactors contain microbes, the core element of methanation, which is why the reactors must be of an extremely high and consistent quality.

“In addition to efficient production, it’s important that we can rely on our partner for high quality in manufacturing. We selected Enersense as the supplier for the Harjavalta project because they have expertise in the serial production of high-quality products of this kind. We want to provide Q Power’s microbes with the best possible environment,” says Marko Niskanen, Technical Director at Q Power.

Finland’s first e-methane production plant, delivered by Q Power, is a visible sign of the progress of the energy transition.

“Enersense wants to contribute to building a zero-emission energy system. We have been involved in developing various renewable energy production solutions for a long time and have delivered life-cycle services to the energy sector. It’s great that Q Power has selected us to join this project. It shows that we have been successful in our work,” says Jaakko Leivo, EVP, Smart Industry at Enersense.

In addition to high quality, it is important the partners have common operating principles.

“We share with Enersense a common vision and goal of building a zero-emission energy system. We are delighted that our contract partner has values similar to ours, as well as strong technological expertise,” says Marko Niskanen, Q Power.

Enersense owns 16.3% of P2X Solutions. Through P2X, Enersense is involved in reducing the emissions of heavy transport using hydrogen and synthetic fuels and in enabling energy storage opportunities created by green hydrogen.

The project of 50 wind power plants in Yli-Olhava, Ii, included in Enersense’s project development portfolio, is progressing

Enersense International Plc
Investor News 1 March 2023 at 2:15 p.m.

The Yli-Olhava wind-power park project in Ii developed by Megatuuli Oy, a subsidiary of Enersense, a provider of zero-emission energy solutions, is progressing as planned. By its ruling of 28 February, the Supreme Administrative Court rejected the application for leave to appeal concerning the adoption of the local master plan, and the plan has thus gained legal force.

On 1 February 2021, the Municipal Council of Ii unanimously approved the Yli-Olhava wind farm component master plan, which allows the construction of 50 wind power plants in the area. Megatuuli has leased more than 6,000 hectares of land for the project, and the project involves more than 100 landowners. The project will be developed in collaboration with Megatuuli’s French partner Valorem, and the project investment is estimated to be in the range of EUR 400–500 million. Wind measurements have been under way for more than two years, and the wind conditions in the area are excellent. When completed, the wind farm is estimated to generate more than 1 TWh of electricity, or about 1.5% of Finland’s total electricity demand.

“This is a major project of great importance for us, and we are pleased that we reached this important milestone and that the project now proceeds to the next stages. The project is also of great importance to the municipality of Ii, as the municipality will receive considerable property tax revenue. The wind farm has been estimated to yield annual property tax revenue of over EUR 1,5 million to the municipality of Ii,” says Lauri Lammivaara, Vice President of Wind Power Development at Enersense.

The other financial impact on the municipality and the neighbouring municipalities is also estimated to be significant. The project will create new jobs and also provide employment opportunities indirectly. The investment decision in the project is estimated to be made in 2024–2025.

  1. Authorizing the Board of Directors to decide on the issuance of shares as well as the issuance of option rights and other special rights entitling to shares

The Board of Directors proposes to the General Meeting that the General Meeting authorize the Board of Directors to decide on the issuance of shares against payment as well as on the issuance of option rights and other special rights entitling to shares pursuant to Chapter 10, section 1 of the Finnish Companies Act, or a combination of some or all of the above, under the following conditions:

A total maximum of 1,649,250 new and/or treasury shares of the Company may be issued under the authorization (including shares issued on the basis of special rights), which corresponds to approximately 10 percent of all the shares in the Company at the time of the convocation of the General Meeting.

Within the limits of the authorization, the Board of Directors is authorized to decide on all terms and conditions regarding the issuance of shares and the issuance of option rights and other special rights entitling to shares.

The Board of Directors is authorized to decide to record the subscription price either as an increase of the share capital, or wholly or partly to the reserve for invested unrestricted equity.

The issuances of shares and the issuance of special rights entitling to shares may also take place in deviation of the shareholders’ pre-emptive subscription right, if there is a weighty financial reason for the Company in accordance with the Finnish Companies Act (directed share issue). The authorization may then be used to finance acquisitions or other investments in the Company’s business, to maintain and increase the group’s financial solvency, to implement an incentive scheme as well as to expand the ownership base and develop the capital structure.

The authorization revokes the authorizations granted by the Annual General Meeting on 4 April 2022 and by the Extraordinary General Meeting of 10 November 2022 concerning the issuance of shares and the issuance of option rights and other special rights entitling to shares, but not the authorization granted by the Extraordinary General Meeting on 23 December 2022 to decide on the issuance of special rights entitling to shares.

A maximum of 824,630 shares may be repurchased and/or accepted as pledge, which corresponds to approximately 5 percent of all the shares in the Company at the time of the convocation of the General Meeting.

The shares will be purchased in trading organized by Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd at a price formed in public trading on the date of repurchase.

Own shares may be repurchased and/or accepted as pledge in deviation from shareholders’ proportional holdings (directed repurchase and/or directed acceptance as pledge). The repurchase and/or acceptance as pledge of shares reduces the Company’s unrestricted equity. The Board of Directors decides how the shares are to be repurchased and/or accepted as pledge.

The authorization revokes previous authorizations granted by the general meeting to repurchase and/or pledge shares.

The authorization is proposed to be valid until the end of next Annual General Meeting, but no later than 30 June 2024.

The Board of Directors of Enersense International Plc decided on the group key employee incentive plan

Enersense International Plc
Stock Exchange Release 27 February 2023 at 1:50 p.m.

The Board of Directors of Enersense International Plc has decided on new share-based incentive plan directed to the Group key employees. The aim is to align the objectives of the shareholders and key employees for increasing the value of the company in the long-term, to retain the key employees at the company and to offer them competitive incentive plan that is based on earning and accumulating the company’s shares. The new incentive plan is a continuation of the Performance Share Plan 2022-2025 decided in February 2022. The new Performance Share Plan 2023-2025 consists of one performance period, covering the financial years 2023-2025.

In the plan, the target group is given an opportunity to earn Enersense International Plc shares based on performance. The rewards of the plan are based on the absolute total shareholder return of the company’s share (TSR) for the financial years 2023-2025, on the Group’s cumulative Operating Profit in euro for the financial years 2023-2025, and on the Group’s ESG development program.

The potential rewards based on the plan will be paid after the end of the performance period, in spring 2026. The rewards will be paid partly in Enersense International Plc shares and partly in cash. The cash proportions of the rewards are intended for covering taxes and statutory social security contributions arising from the rewards to the participants. In general, no reward is paid if the participant’s employment or director contract terminates before the reward payment.

The rewards to be paid based on the plan correspond to the value of an approximate maximum total of 241.000 Enersense International Plc shares, also including the proportion to be paid in cash. Approximately 40 persons, including the President and CEO and other members of the Group Executive Team, belong to the target group of the plan.

The President and CEO of Enersense International Plc and the member of the Group Executive Team must own at least 50 per cent of the shares received as a net reward from the plan, until the value of the President and CEO’s shareholding in Enersense International Plc equals to his annual base salary of the preceding year, and until the value of other Group Executive Team member’s shareholding in Enersense International Plc equals to 50 per cent of their annual base salary of the preceding year. Such number of Enersense International Plc shares must be held as long as the membership in the Group Executive Team or the position as the President and CEO continues.

Insider information: Enersense withdraws from the acquisition of Voimatel Oy

Enersense International Plc
Insider information 15 February 2023 at 3.00 p.m.

Enersense withdraws from the merger concerning Voimatel Oy. On 13 January 2023, the Finnish Competition and Consumer Authority (FCCA) decided to initiate further proceedings regarding the acquisition, because it considered it necessary to continue investigating its competition impacts. The further proceedings may take a maximum of 69 working days.

Enersense has been informed by the FCCA that, according to the analyses carried out by the competition authority, the combined market share of the operators concerned would grow too large in several market segments. Neither did the FCCA consider, contrary to Enersense’s views, the customers’ bargaining power or countervailing buyer power a sufficiently countervailing factor in the competitive situation.

For this reason, Enersense’s Board of Directors has considered it impossible to implement the merger in the desired form and decided to withdraw from the acquisition. The withdrawal occurs by consensus with Osuuskunta KPY, the owner of Voimatel.

“We are of course disappointed because the merger would have been a good solution for creating, developing and maintaining critical telecommunications and network infrastructure for the whole of Finland. The merger would have provided us with synergy benefits, but the non-implementation of the merger will have no effect on the objectives of our growth strategy and their attainment,” says CEO Jussi Holopainen.

Insider information: The processing time of Enersense International Plc’s acquisition regarding Voimatel Oy has been extended

Enersense International Plc  
Insider information 13 January 2023 at 1:45 p.m.

The Finnish Competition and Consumer Authority (FCCA) has decided to transfer Enersense International Plc’s acquisition regarding Voimatel Oy to further processing, which may take up to 69 business days. During the first phase of the processing, the FCCA has obtained information from competitors, customers and suppliers by means of requests for statements and reports. The FCCA deems it necessary to continue the analysis of the competitive impacts of the acquisition.

“At Enersense we see closing of this acquisition important because effective information and energy networks play a key role in society. In terms of functionality of society and security of supply in Finland, it is – and will continue to be – important to create, develop and maintain a critical telecommunications and network infrastructure. We also see that assessing the countervailing buyer power, where also the bargaining strength of the buyer as well as its commercial significance to the seller are considered, is essential in terms of the analysis of the competitive impact of an acquisition. There are conflicting views on this matter, but we trust that the Authority will carefully assess the situation as a whole”, says Jussi Holopainen, President and CEO, Enersense International Plc.

The Estonian Competition Authority has previously approved the acquisition in terms of the companies’ operations in Estonia (press release 18 November 2022).

The offshore wind capacity in Europe is expected to double over the next five years and the total market potential is estimated at over EUR 100 billion. During the past year we have invested in the ramp-up of our Mäntyluoto fabrication yard and this first offshore wind power project is a clear sign of our competitiveness and capabilities as a manufacturer of offshore foundations.

Insider information: Enersense and Elisa have signed a 30-million-euro project contract on construction of an optic fiber network in Finland

Enersense International Plc 
Insider information 9 December 2022 at 09:00 a.m.

Enersense, a provider of zero-emission energy solutions, and Elisa, a Finnish telecommunications and digital services company, have signed a turn-key project contract on construction of Elisa’s optic fiber network (FTTH = Fiber to the Home) in Finland. The project will be one part of Elisa´s optic fiber network construction roadmap in the coming years and it will be executed during 2023-2025. The total value of the project is approximately EUR 30 million.

The contract will be included in the fourth quarter 2022 order book of Enersense’s Connectivity business area. The project will commence immediately with planning of the FTTH areas in various parts of Finland.

Enersense is responsible for the turn-key delivery which contains project management, planning and construction of the network, materials logistics and customer deliveries.

”We are very delighted about the confidence Elisa has shown on Enersense’s FTTH-services. Fast fiber networks are part of enabling a zero-emission society which is important for us at Enersense. Currently around 50 per cent of Finnish households are connected to an optic fiber network and during the coming years constructing FTTH is expected to grow significantly,” says Jussi Holopainen, CEO of Enersense.

Notice to the Extraordinary General Meeting of Enersense International Plc

Enersense International Plc
Stock Exchange Release, 2 December 2022 at 7:00 p.m.

Notice is given to the shareholders of Enersense International Plc (“Enersense” or the “Company”) to the Extraordinary General Meeting (“General Meeting”) to be held on Friday 23 December 2022 at 9:30 a.m. (EET) at Original Sokos Hotel Tripla Pasila, Fredikanterassi 1B, FI-00520 Helsinki, Finland, meeting room Eskola/Kaivola. The reception of persons who have registered for the meeting and the distribution of voting tickets before the meeting will commence at 9:00 a.m. (EET). The Company’s shareholders may exercise their shareholder rights also by voting in advance or by way of proxy representation.

A. MATTERS ON THE AGENDA OF THE EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

At the General Meeting, the following matters will be considered:

  1. Opening of the meeting
  2. Calling the meeting to order
  3. Election of persons to scrutinize the minutes and to supervise the counting of votes
  4. Recording the legality of the meeting
  5. Recording the attendance at the meeting and adoption of the list of votes
  6. Authorizing the Board of Directors to decide on the issuance of special rights entitling to shares

On 2 December 2022, the Company completed the offering of EUR 26 million senior unsecured conditionally convertible notes due 15 January 2027 (the “Notes”) which were subscribed for by professional investors and eligible counterparties. The Notes will carry a coupon of 7.0 % per annum, payable semi-annually in arrear in equal instalments on 15 January and 15 July in each year, commencing on 15 July 2023. The initial conversion price per share of the Notes has been set at EUR 8.00, representing a conversion premium of approximately 32.1 % to the arithmetic average of the volume weighted average price of Enersense’s shares (the ”Shares”) on the official list of Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd on each of the 10 dealing days prior to the launch of the offering of the Notes, representing EUR 6.0573 (the “Market Reference Price”). The issue price of the Notes will be 100% of their nominal amount and, unless previously converted, redeemed or purchased and cancelled, will be redeemed at 100% of their nominal amount at maturity. Closing is expected to occur on or about 12 December 2022 (the “Issue Date”).

The Notes will become convertible into Shares subject to a resolution by the Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company’s shareholders authorizing the Company’s Board of Directors to resolve on the issue of special rights entitling to shares pursuant to Chapter 10, Section 1 of the Finnish Companies Act (624/2006, as amended) to enable the issue of such Shares upon the exercise of conversion rights by noteholders in respect of the Notes (the “Shareholders’ Resolution”) and a subsequent resolution by the Board of Directors to decide on the issue of such special rights based on the authorization (the “Board Resolution”), following which the Company will issue an appropriate notice to the noteholders.

If the Shareholder Resolution and the Board Resolution are not passed by the date falling 3 months after the Issue Date and the Notes have not been redeemed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Notes, noteholders will be entitled to exercise a cash settlement right whereby they would receive a cash amount equal to the market value of the Shares notionally underlying the Notes as detailed in the terms and conditions of the Notes. The maximum number of Shares (without any adjustments having been made to the conversion price) notionally underlying the initial issue size is 3,250,000 Shares, representing approximately 19.7 % of the Company’s current total amount of Shares (approximately 16.5 % on a fully diluted basis). The cash settlement right of the holders of the Notes will expire upon the Notes becoming convertible into Shares.

In order to effect the Shareholder Resolution and to enable the subsequent Board Resolution to issue special rights entitling to Shares, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Notes, the Board of Directors proposes that the General Meeting would authorize the Board of Directors to decide, in one or several instalments, on the issuance of special rights entitling to Shares referred to in Chapter 10 Section 1 of the Finnish Companies Act in respect of the Notes as follows.

The number of shares to be issued based on the special rights shall not exceed 3,575,000 Shares, which corresponds to approximately 21.7 % of all of the Shares in the Company (approximately 18.1 % on a fully-diluted basis).

The issuance of special rights entitling to shares may be carried out in deviation from the shareholders’ pre-emptive rights (directed issue). The special rights would be granted, for no consideration, to the initial subscribers of the Notes and/or to any subsequent purchasers of the Notes. The special rights would be attached to the Notes and could not be separated from the Notes.

In all other respects, in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of the Notes, the Board of Directors would decide on other conditions of the issuance of special rights entitling to shares.

The maximum number of Shares that may be issued based on the special rights under this authorization exceeds the number of Shares that would be issued if the Notes would be converted into Shares at the current conversion price. The excess number of special rights and Shares that may be issued is reserved for possible adjustments to the conversion price in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Notes and may not be issued for any other purpose. The Board of Directors considers that there are weighty financial reasons to issue the special rights in respect of the Notes as the issuance of the Notes allowed the Company to strengthen its financial position under financial and other terms (including the execution timetable) that would not, in the understanding of the Board of Directors, have been otherwise available. In addition, the capital raised through the issue of the Notes is expected to enable strategic investments by the Company. The Board of Directors also notes that the initial conversion price of the Notes per Share represented a premium of 32.1 % as compared to the above-mentioned Market Reference Price.

Certain shareholders of the Company, including Nidoco AB, MBÅ Invest Oy, Verman Group Oy and Ensto Invest Oy, who together represent approximately 54.9 % of Enersense’s current total amount of Shares, have irrevocably agreed to vote in favour of the resolution to authorize the Board of Directors to decide on the issuance of special rights entitling to shares at the General Meeting.

This authorization does not revoke or replace any previous authorizations granted to the Board of Directors regarding the issuance of special rights entitling to shares.
