Cloudberry Clean Energy : AS | Withdrawal from potential M&A transaction

Oslo, Norway, 27 November 2020: Reference is made to the stock exchange
notice

dated 13 November 2020 (the "Stock Exchange Notice") regarding Cloudberry
Clean

Energy AS' ("Cloudberry" or the "Company") engagement in a potential M&A

transaction involving Nordic renewable assets.



Cloudberry has over the last weeks participated in a structured sales process

for potentially acquiring a Nordic independent power producer (IPP) (the

"Transaction"). The Company has a strict policy of not compromising on its

return requirements for producing and development assets, and the valuation
gap

between the parties in the Transaction has been deemed as too large.
Cloudberry

has therefore chosen to withdraw from the Transaction.



As stated in the Stock Exchange Notice, Cloudberry had retained Carnegie,
Pareto

Securities and SEB as managers to establish an underwriting syndicate (the

"Underwriting Syndicate") for the equity financing required for the
Transaction.

Cloudberry can inform that it through engaging with selected existing

shareholders and new investors successfully established an Underwriting

Syndicate. However, as the Transaction will not materialise, the underwriting

commitments from the Underwriting Syndicate have now lapsed.



Cloudberry will not provide further comments or updates related to the

Transaction.



The Company is currently pursuing various organic and inorganic growth

opportunities which may require additional capital and the Company will
engage

with equity investors to deliver on its growth ambition.
