 based merchant bankers in M& A, restructuring of debt including bonds and managing equity and debt funds within maritime,
transportation and energy. Prior to New York, Wikborg was Managing Director of Fearnleys Mexico. He remained with AMA after moving
back to Norway and was involved in restructurings and M& A. From 2004 to 2008 he was an advisor to Kuwait Finance House in the
shariah based equity investment in maritime and energy and was a Partner with SinoEnergy Capital in Hong Kong, investing in harsh
environment jack up rigs.

Mr. Wikborg graduated from University of Manchester
Institute of Science & Technology with Honors. He also studied marine law and marine insurance law at the Norwegian Shipping
Academy. He is an officer of the Royal Norwegian Navy.

We believe Rolf S. Wikborg is qualified to serve on
the Board of Directors of the Company due to his international experience, previous and current board positions in the US and Norway as
well as his knowledge of the renewable energy industry.

There is no arrangement or understanding, pursuant
to which Mr. Wikborg was appointed as a director of the Company. Mr. Wikborg is not related to any existing officer or director of
the Company. There are also no transactions or relationships between or among Mr. Wikborg and the Company that would be required
to be reported under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

As a result of the appointment of Mr. Wikborg
as a member of the Board and as a member of the Audit Committee, the Company believes it is now in compliance with
the board independence requirements as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(b)(1), and the audit committee requirements as
set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(2)(A).
