Sales particularly in the Netherlands and in South Africa, is going well and pipeline continues to look good. Won and closed deals in June and July amounted to € 652 000. However, sales in the USA have so far fallen short of expectations, while costs are significant, investment needs are high and financing conditions in North America are poor in the current investment climate. This has led to operations in the USA being put on hold for a while, awaiting a better investment climate and more stable energy prices.
In the long term, however, USA is a promising market, not least the food industry represents significant potential as North Americans eat significantly more processed food compared to, for instance, Europeans. The new concentrating solar collectors that Solarus Renewables develops will be particularly suitable for this purpose.

Report from the Annual Shareholders Meeting in Solarus Renewables AB (publ) 2023-05-04.
42.8% of the votes in the Company was represented in the meeting.
The result in was presented and approved. The result in the annual report is slightly better than in the earlier communicated year-end report,
SEK -825 568 instead of SEK -987 294.
The main explanation for the difference is that unrealized interest and rate differences have been included in the annual report. The equity ratio is slightly lower than earlier communicated 87.9% instead of 90.0%. The difference is due to balance posts being moved from 2023 to 2022.
On behalf of the board, Managing Director Jan Cedervall presented the utterance regarding the proposed appropriation of earnings, where the board proposed conversion of SEK 696 600 SEK in conditional shareholders contribution from Solarus Sunpower Holding AB to setoff claims that could either be setoff to securities in upcoming new issues or be converted into conditional shareholders contribution again in case they are not set-off before next year's Annual Shareholders Meeting. Hence no cash can flow out of the Company as a result of the proposed appropriation.
The proposed appropriation of earnings was approved by the Meeting and in immediate connection to the decision it was again clarified and stated that a liability of SEK 696 600 to Solarus Sunpower Holding AB occurred as a result of the decision. The liability can be setoff to shares in issues decided and carried out during the board year, but the liability cannot be repaid in cash.
The meeting decided to renumerate the chair of the board, Anna Eriksmo, with half of the Swedish income base index that is SEK 37 150 for the board year 2023/2024 and at most 500 000 options to subscribe shares at SEK 3.25 a share over a period on of 10 years, conditioned on the shares being tax free for the company and further that Anna Eriksmo is still a continuous member of the board. Exercise of options can take place at earliest after three years and after the board has judged the performance of the company and Anna Eriksmo and if it is as expected the board intends to suggest that Anna Eriksmo can exercise the equivalent of 15 000 to 30 000 options a year, that is 150 000 to 300 000 options over 10 years. The board doesn't intend to utilize the possibility to let Anna Eriksmo exercise all 500 000 options but still want to have the flexibility to suggest exercising both less than 15 000 options a year and more than 300 000 options over 10 years in case developments take unforeseen turns, but still with an absolute ceiling of 500 000 options. The coming board suggestions regarding exercise of options will be decided upon by future Annual Shareholders Meetings that have the possibility to alter or reject the suggestions if that can be fairly motivated. In case of rejection without fair ground, the Company will be liable to damage claims.
The meeting further decided to give the board the mandate to decide on renumeration to directors that are not employed by the company whit at most SEK 999 a director for the board year 2023/2024.
The board and auditor were re-elected.
The meeting decided on the following changes of the Company statutes.

News in Solarus Renewables over the last month.
The subscription period in the ongoing new issue is extended to 2022-12-12 at 1 p.m.
Settlement date when payment for subscribed shares must be received by the Company will be 2022-12-16.
The reason for the extension is due to delay of the translation of the investment memorandum into English and that negotiations are ongoing together with Solarus Sunpower Holding AB to acquire the majority in another solar energy company, which develops low-temperature photo voltaic thermal solar collectors. The other company would complement Solarus Renewables' current focus on high-temperature solar collectors well and could add value to Solarus Renewables. Solarus Renewables hopes the negotiation will be finished in early December.
