About Bluefield Solar Income Fund Limited (the "Company" or "BSIF")

BSIF is a Guernsey-registered investment company focusing on large scale agricultural and industrial solar assets.

The Company seeks to provide shareholders with an attractive return, principally in the form of semi-annual income distributions, by investing in a diversified portfolio of solar energy assets, each located within the UK, with a focus on utility scale assets and portfolios on greenfield, industrial and/or commercial sites. The Company delivered on its target dividend of 4 pence per share in relation to the first financial year ending 30 June 2014. It is seeking to deliver 7 pence per share in respect of the Company's second financial year, rising with RPI thereafter.
