1. Information on the occurrence of trends and events in the market environment of the

Issuer, which in the Issuer's opinion may have important consequences in the future for the financial condition and results of the Issuer

1.1 Photon Energy achieves record energy generation volume and revenues in May

The Company reports 51.3 GWh of electricity produced YTD compared to 34.3 GWh one year ago (+49.6%) propelled by the addition of two new power plants in Tolna, Hungary (1.4 MWp added in December 2021 and 1.4 MWp added in May 2022) and of our two utility-scale PV power plants in Leeton, Australia (14.6 MWp connected to the grid in August 2021). This represents an avoidance of 20,963 tonnes of CO2 emissions year-to-date.

In May 2022 Photon Energy's proprietary portfolio of PV power plants with a total installed capacity of 91.9 MWp generated its highest monthly production volume in the company's history with

13.8 GWh (+34.7% year-on-year) of renewable energy supplied to the grid. With over 80% of the portfolio selling electricity at market prices the company's energy generation revenues in May equally reached a record of EUR 3.647 million, up 69.8% year-on-year.

As in Europe, energy prices in Australia have experienced a sharp increase in recent weeks as evidenced by average revenues per MWh (including revenues for Large Generation Certificates) of EUR 181 in May 2022, compared to an average of EUR 68 and EUR 124 in March and April 2022, respectively. As a result, the Leeton and Fivebough PV power plants with a combined installed capacity of 14.5 MWp are expected to reach their budgeted revenue target of AUD 2.6 million (EUR 1.7 million) already by August 2022 and to exceed their full-year target significantly.

Photon Energy's management board reconfirms its financial guidance for consolidated revenues in 2022 to increase to EUR 65.0 million from EUR 36.4 million in 2021, representing a 78.8% increase YoY, leading to an increase of EBITDA to EUR 18.0 million from EUR 9.6 million in 2021(+87.8% YoY).

For more information, please refer to chapter 2. Proprietary PV power plants.

1.2 Photon Energy Group successfully taps its 6.50% green bond to 65 million euros

During the reporting period, the Company successfully tapped its 6.50% Green EUR Bond 2021/2027 (ISIN: DE000A3KWKY4) in the amount of EUR 10 million to a total outstanding amount of EUR 65 million. The bond tap was met with strong demand from the Company's existing bondholders including the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development ('EBRD') as well as numerous new institutional investors across Europe.

The green bond - now with a nominal value of EUR 65 million, a 2027 maturity and an interest rate of 6.50% p.a., paid quarterly - has been graded by imug | rating with regard to its sustainability by way of a Secondary Party Opinion, and is trading on the Open Market of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange since 23 November 2021.

Bankhaus Scheich Wertpapierspezialist AG, Frankfurt am Main, has acted as Sole Global Coordinator & Bookrunner for the bond placement. Multinational law firm Pinsent Masons has acted as legal advisor to the transaction.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the green bond placement to finance or refinance, in part or in whole, new and/or existing eligible assets, as well as financial instruments that were used to finance such projects or assets, in accordance with the Company's Green Finance Framework, enabling Photon Energy Group to make a significant contribution to an environmentally friendly future.

Q1 April May

The Company reports 51.3 GWh of electricity produced YTD compared to 34.3 GWh one year ago (+49.6%) propelled by the addition of two new power plants in Tolna, Hungary (1.4 MWp added in December 2021 and 1.4 MWp added in May 2022) and of our two utility-scale PV power plants in Leeton, Australia (14.6 MWp connected to the grid in August 2021). This represents an avoidance of 20,963 tonnes of CO2 emissions year-to-date.

In May the proprietary portfolio outperformed the audits by 3.0%. Our Czech, Slovak, and Hungarian portfolios exceeded energy forecasts by 5.0%, 10.8% and 6.1%, respectively, while our Aus- tralian portfolio was short of estimates by 18.9%. The specific performance ratio of the proprietary portfolio (SPR) reached 149.9 kWh/kWp compared to 137.0 kWh/kWp one year ago (+9.4% year-on year).

In May 2022 Photon Energy's proprietary portfolio of PV power plants with a total installed capacity of 91.9 MWp generated its highest monthly production volume in the company's history with 13.8 GWh (+34.7% year-on-year) of renewable energy supplied

to the grid. With over 80% of the portfolio selling electricity at market prices the company's energy generation revenues in May equally reached a record of EUR 3.647 million, up 69.8% year-on- year.

As in Europe, energy prices in Australia have experienced a sharp increase in recent weeks as evidenced by average revenues per MWh (including revenues for Large Generation Certificates) of EUR 181 in May 2022, compared to an average of EUR 68 and EUR 124 in March and April 2022, respectively. As a result, the Leeton and Fivebough PV power plants with a combined installed capacity of 14.5 MWp are expected to reach their budgeted revenue target of AUD 2.6 million (EUR 1.7 million) already by August 2022 and to exceed their full-year target significantly.

Photon Energy's management board reconfirms its financial guidance for consolidated revenues in 2022 to increase to EUR 65.0 million from EUR 36.4 million in 2021, representing a 78.8% increase YoY, leading to an increase of EBITDA to EUR 18.0 million from EUR 9.6 million in 2021(+87.8% YoY).
