 access to proprietary deal flow that is often overlooked by traditional channels, unlocking strategic entry points and outsized value creation potential. We believe our reputation and track record of investing across energy infrastructure, sustainability -linkedfinance, and climate -alignedinnovation make us a preferred partner for companies seeking strategic growth and public market access. Given our thematic orientation and established presence in these ecosystems, we expect to receive inbound interest from unaffiliated sources, including founders and investors in private and public utilities, infrastructure platforms, and mission -drivenenterprises. Our sourcing strategy prioritizes companies that we believe would benefit significantly from the enhanced visibility, capital access, and strategic optionality afforded by public listing. We also offer an alternative investment pathway that aligns with macrotrends in reshaping capital markets and investor appetite for sustainable, impact -drivengrowth.

Our process emphasizes strong fundamentals, transparent unit economics, and alignment with long -termvalue creation, particularly in infrastructure -intensiveand capital -sensitivesectors • Sustainable Competitive
