Gresham House Energy Storage Fund PLC

("GRID" or the "Company")

 

Proposed Placing and Offer for Subscription 

 

 

Gresham House Energy Storage Fund PLC, the UK's largest fund investing in utility-scale energy storage systems, today announces a new share issuance programme to be conducted over the next 12 months through a number of tranches (the "Share Issuance Programme"), with the initial placing ("Initial Placing") and the initial offer for subscription ("Initial Offer for Subscription") launching today (together the "Initial Tranche"). The prospectus relating to the Share Issuance Programme ("Prospectus") is expected to be published shortly.

 

The Company intends to build on its leading market share and significantly increase the size of its Portfolio over the coming 12 to 18 months to take advantage of the clear and compelling market opportunity for energy storage system projects ("ESS Projects").

 

Under the Share Issuance Programme, the Company may issue up to a maximum of 250 million new ordinary shares over the next 12 months. The net proceeds from the Initial Tranche are expected to be used to finance near term opportunities in the Company's New Pipeline (as defined in the Prospectus).

 

Highlights:

·      The New Pipeline comprises up to c.485MW of ESS Projects currently being progressed by the Manager, addressing the need for energy storage systems as renewable electricity penetration continues to rise.

·      The New Pipeline represents 10 projects with a total expected consideration of approximately £200 million, of which the net proceeds of the Initial Tranche are intended to be used to finance up to 5 new near term acquisitions totalling c.195MW.

·      The Company will issue new ordinary shares (the "New Ordinary Shares") by way of the Initial Placing and Initial Offer for Subscription at an issue price of 105.0 pence per New Ordinary Share (the "Issue Price").

·      The Issue Price represents a discount of approximately 4.5% to the closing share price of 110.0 pence on 9 November 2020 and a premium of approximately 4.2% to the last reported NAV of 100.77 pence as at 30 September 2020.

·      The Company has a dividend target of 7.0 pence per Ordinary Share for the financial year to 31 December 2020, paid quarterly, which represents a dividend yield of 6.7% at the Issue Price.*

·      Investors in the Initial Tranche will be entitled to receive the next quarterly dividend for the three-month period to 31 December 2020, which is expected to be declared in February 2021.

 

John Leggate CBE, Chair of Gresham House Energy Storage Fund PLC said:

 

"Over the last few years we've seen real growth in the quantum of deal flow and new developments within the energy storage market and in batteries specifically. The drivers behind this growth are now increasingly obvious and we believe we are getting closer to a tipping point where battery-based storage is becoming a strategic imperative in the UK's journey towards delivering a net zero carbon future. GRID is taking advantage of its strong deal flow and organisational capabilities to cement its leadership position in this sector."

 

 

Ben Guest, Lead Fund Manager and Head of Gresham House New Energy, commented:

 

"We are excited to have assembled such a substantial and attractive New Pipeline which we are confident will be delivered in a timely fashion.  We are driving down the cost of acquisition significantly, which is expected to meaningfully increase cashflow and NAV per share.

 

We continue to believe that the system will require around 10GW of installed energy storage capacity by 2024.  Beyond this date strong growth in electricity demand from the electrification of our economy, as we move away from fossil fuels, will require much higher levels of energy storage and renewable energy capacity.

 

Owing to our extensive experience building and commissioning battery storage, GRID is in a strong position to benefit from the expected increasing pace of development. This will drive higher returns for investors, to underpin our return targets."

 

 

Background to the Issue 

 

Gresham House Energy Storage Fund PLC is the UK's largest fund investing in utility-scale energy storage systems.

The Company seeks to provide investors with an attractive and sustainable dividend over the long term by investing in a diversified portfolio of utility-scale operational energy storage systems, which utilise batteries and may also utilise generators, located in Great Britain, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. In addition, the Company seeks to provide investors with the prospect of capital growth through the re-investment of net cash generated in excess of the target dividend in accordance with the Company's investment policy.

 

The Company will target dividend payments of 7.0p per Ordinary Share in the financial year ending 31 December 2020 and in financial periods thereafter. The Company targets an unlevered Net Asset Value total return of 8% per annum, calculated net of the Company's costs and expenses. Once certain further asset management activities are completed and leverage is introduced to the Portfolio, the Company targets a levered Net Asset Value total return of 15% per annum, calculated net of the Company's costs and expenses.*

 

Use of Proceeds

 

The New Pipeline, which the Company intends to fund, will either be exclusive to the Company, owned by the Gresham House Group, or exclusive to the Gresham House Group while due diligence is completed. Any ESS Project Companies owned by the Gresham House Group are held exclusively for the Company.

 

The Company will seek to acquire up to an additional c.485MW of ESS Projects currently being progressed by the Manager, comprising approximately 400MW of new build ESS Projects based in Great Britain (subject to shareholder approval being granted at the November General Meeting), 45MW of operational ESS Projects in Great Britain and a single approximately 40MW project in the Republic of Ireland.

 

The New Pipeline represents 10 projects with a total expected consideration of approximately £200 million, of which the net proceeds of the Initial Tranche are intended to be used to finance up to 5 new near term acquisitions totalling c.195MW. In addition, a small proportion of the net proceeds will also be used to fund commitments on certain existing projects.

 

As a result of the Manager's ability to source attractively priced projects and efforts to drive best practice in relation to the design, contracting and other operational facets, the Manager expects, based on current market conditions, that the New Pipeline can be acquired by the Company at an improved IRR compared with the average achieved in relation to the existing Portfolio.

 

The acquisition of ESS Projects forming part of the New Pipeline is subject to completion of satisfactory legal, technical and financial due diligence. There can be no guarantee that the Company will invest in, or commit to, these projects.

 

If the funds are raised for the New Pipeline and all projects, including the existing projects, are delivered, the Company will own approximately 865MW of operational ESS Projects, with all but one of the projects being in Great Britain.

Share Issuance Programme

 

The Company proposes to implement a Share Issuance Programme (being a programme of issues of Shares in the form of Ordinary Shares and/or C Shares), of which the Initial Tranche forms part. The Company proposes to issue up to 250 million New Shares pursuant to the Share Issuance Programme, including for the avoidance of doubt any New Ordinary Shares issued as part of the Initial Tranche. The Share Issuance Programme is conditional on the relevant authorities being granted at the November General Meeting to be held on 19 November 2020.

 

The Share Issuance Programme is being created to provide the Company with the flexibility, should it wish, to raise further capital over the 12 months from the date of publication of the Prospectus which it may use to either deploy into new investment opportunities in accordance with its investment policy (including the New Pipeline) or repay debt. The issue of New Shares under the Share Issuance Programme is not being underwritten.

 

Benefits of the Initial Tranche and the Share Issuance Programme

 

The Directors believe the issuance of New Shares will have the following benefits for Shareholders:

 

·      The additional capital raised will enable the Company to take advantage of current and future investment opportunities thereby further diversifying its Portfolio;

·      Acquiring ESS Projects forming the New Pipeline is accretive to the Company's cashflow per share based on base case revenue assumptions;

·      An increase in the market capitalisation of the Company will help to make the Company more attractive to a wider investor base;

·      It is expected that the secondary market liquidity in the Ordinary Shares will be further enhanced as a result of a larger and more diversified shareholder base;

·      The Company's fixed running costs will be spread across a wider shareholder base, thereby reducing the ongoing costs ratio; and

·      Any issuance of New Ordinary Shares will be undertaken at a premium to NAV which will enhance the NAV per existing Ordinary Share.

 

Further information

 

Jefferies International Limited ("Jefferies") is acting as sole global coordinator, bookrunner and financial adviser to the Company in connection with the Initial Tranche and the Share Issuance Programme. Jefferies will today commence a bookbuild process in respect of the Initial Tranche at the Issue Price. The Initial Tranche will be non-pre-emptive pursuant to the terms set out in the Prospectus and is expected to close no later than 11 a.m. on 24 November 2020 but may be closed earlier or later at the absolute discretion of Jefferies and the Company. Details of the number of Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to the Initial Tranche will be determined by the Board (following consultation with Jefferies and the Manager) and will be announced as soon as practicable after the close of the Initial Tranche.

 

Application will be made for the New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on the Specialist Fund Segment of the London Stock Exchange's main market ("Admission"). Admission is expected to occur and dealings in the New Ordinary Shares to commence at 8.00 a.m. on 27 November 2020. The Initial Tranche is conditional on the requisite shareholder resolutions being passed at the November General Meeting and on Admission.  

The New Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to the Initial Tranche will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing Ordinary Shares, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid after the date of Admission. For the avoidance of doubt, investors participating in the Initial Tranche will be entitled to receive the next quarterly dividend declared by the Company relating to the quarter ending 31 December 2020 which is expected to be declared in February 2021. 

The Initial Tranche may be scaled back by the Company for any reason, including where it is necessary to scale back allocations to ensure the Initial Tranche proceeds align with the Company's post fundraise deployment targets. The Initial Placing may be scaled back in order to satisfy valid applications under the Offer for Subscription, and the Offer for Subscription may be scaled back in favour of the Initial Placing.

The Offer for Subscription is only being made in the UK, but subject to applicable law, the Company may allot and issue New Ordinary Shares on a private placement basis to applicants in other jurisdictions. 

By choosing to participate in the Initial Tranche and by making an oral and legally binding offer to subscribe for New Ordinary Shares, investors will be deemed to have read and understood this Announcement and the Prospectus in their entirety and to be making such offer on the terms and subject to the conditions in the Prospectus, and to be providing the representations, warranties and acknowledgements contained therein. 

A copy of the Prospectus, when published, will be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly thereafter be available for inspection at: www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/nsm as well as on the Company's website at www.newenergy.greshamhouse.com/products/esf. Full details of the Terms and Conditions of the Initial Placing and the Offer for Subscription will be made available in the Prospectus.

Definition of Utility-scale battery Storage Systems

Utility-scale battery storage systems are the enabling infrastructure that will support the continued growth of renewable energy sources such as wind and solar, essential to the UK's stated target to reduce carbon emissions. They store excess energy generated by renewable energy sources and then release that stored energy back into the grid during peak hours when there is increased demand.
