Rationale for the transaction including the benefits which are expected to be accrued to the Issuer as a result of the transaction

The partnership with RENOVA is seen as a necessary step toward realizing the fulfilment of the Mabini Wind Energy Project. RENOVA brings with it its years of expertise and knowledge base in the development of renewable energy projects.

With this partnership, the investment cost is also evenly distributed among the shareholder-investors and preparing the project’s foundation for the future developments when construction and implementation is expected to transpire.

BSC as the proponent of the Mabini Wind Power Project will be paid by RENOVA a development premium of USD150,000/MW, subject to RENOVA’s achieving a target Equity IRR of 15%. Development premium. The Development Premium will be payable as follows:

(i) 10% at Closing Date;
(ii) 10% upon achieving agreed milestones;
(iii) 40% at Financial Close Date; and,
(iv) 40% at Commercial Operation Date.

At an initial target capacity of 50MW, BSC is expected to receive a total development premium of USD7.5 million for its 50% interest in the Mabini Wind Power Project.

Terms and conditions of the joint venture
Amount of investment and/or interest by the parties involved

RENOVA will acquire BSC’s 50% interest in Mabini Energy Corporation (“MEC”). The purchase price for RENOVA’s acquisition of BSC’s 50% interest in MEC will be equal to 50% of the prior costs plus a prior cost premium of 10% p.a. less the amount of outstanding advances by BSC to MEC as of the Closing Date.

As of 29 February 2024, total prior cost is at Php34,049,857.01 with prior costs premium calculated at Php3,980,417.75. Estimated development cost to be incurred prior to Closing date is estimated at around Php50 million. Final amount of prior costs, prior costs premium and advances will be updated and agreed to by both parties 10-business days prior to Closing Date.

Further development of the Mabini Wind Power Project to bring it to RTB stage is estimated at USD3.8 million which costs will be shared by RENOVA and BSC equal to their shareholding interests in MEC.

Budget for the construction of the Mabini Wind Power Project will be determined and agreed to by both parties at Financial Close Date and is envisioned to be funded via debt and equity with a target DE ratio of 70:30. Equity portion of the funds for construction will be shared in accordance with the shareholding interest of each party. As of this date, total project cost is estimated to around Php5 billion.

Provisions on profit-sharing, arrangements on management and operations

BSC and RENOVA will have 49% and 51% common (voting) shares, respectively , with BSC being issued additional 2% non-voting preferred shares in MEC to achieve a 50:50 economic/equity sharing of the Parties.

Renova will be entitled to nominate three (3) directors, while BSC will nominate two (2) directors. Furthermore, RENOVA shall have the right to nominate the President and Assistant Treasurer to MEC, while BSC has the right to nominate the Chairman, Treasurer, and Corporate Secretary to MEC. Lastly, the management of the Project shall consist of Officers and other employees appointed from persons nominated by the President.

Conditions precedent to closing of transaction, if any

The share reclassification (a portion of the issued and/or unissued shares of MEC being reclassified into non-voting preferred shares and issued to BSC to effectuate the 50:50 economic/equity share of the Parties) should have been completed as of closing.

The Corporation's authorized capital stock will be divided into two types of shares: Common Shares and Preferred Shares. Preferred Shares have no voting rights, are redeemable at the Corporation's discretion, and are non-convertible to Common Shares. Upon redemption, they are retired by the Corporation. Holders of Preferred Shares have pre-emptive rights only for additional issuance of new Preferred Shares based on their proportionate shareholding percentage, but not for any other class of shares.
