19th February 2015

The Board of Foresight Solar Fund Limited (the "Company") is pleased to announce a proposed placing of new Ordinary Shares under the Placing Programme announced on 25 September 2014 in accordance with the Prospectus (the "Placing"). The Placing price will be based on an updated NAV per Ordinary Share to be announced on 3 March 2015 plus a premium of 1.75% to cover the costs of the Placing.

The proceeds from the Placing will be used to repay the existing acquisition facility and enable the Company to take advantage of additional investment opportunities identified in the UK market, therefore avoiding cash drag on Shareholders' funds.

Unless otherwise defined herein, terms used in this announcement shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Prospectus.

Timetable

The timetable is subject to change at the discretion of the Company, Oriel Securities Limited and J.P. Morgan Cazenove.
