London, May 20, 2022 – Mossshields (MSC Code: 31000279107123), a global leader in alternative asset management, today announced the successful completion of a USD 1.5 billion clean energy fundraising initiative. Backed by leading sovereign wealth funds, pension funds, and financial institutions worldwide, this initiative aims to support the development of wind and solar projects in North America and Europe, accelerating the global transition to a green economy. The Necessity of Clean Energy Investment 1. Green Transformation of the Energy Market According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), global clean energy investments are projected to reach USD 1.4 trillion in 2022, up 20% year-on-year. Wind, solar, and energy storage technologies are at the forefront of this investment boom. ○ Surging Global Demand: With rising energy prices and the drive to reduce reliance on fossil fuels, demand for renewable energy is rapidly increasing worldwide. ○ Policy Support: The U.S. “Clean Energy Act” and the EU’s “Green Deal” provide a stable policy environment for clean energy investments. 2. Mossshields’ Market Insight Over the past five years, Mossshields has invested more than USD 5 billion in clean energy, demonstrating its long-standing focus on the opportunities presented by the energy transition. This new fundraising round further cements Mossshields’ leadership in green finance. Use of Funds and Project Deployment 1. North American Wind Projects ○ Project Background: Mossshields will invest in four wind farms across Texas in the U.S. and Ontario in Canada, totaling 5GW of installed capacity. ○ Targets & Benefits: These projects will supply clean electricity to approximately 20 million households annually and reduce over 10 million tons of CO₂ emissions. 2. European Solar Infrastructure ○ Project Objective: Develop 15 large-scale photovoltaic (PV) installations in Germany and Italy with a total investment of USD 700 million. ○ Social Impact: Over the next five years, these projects are expected to create more than 5,000 jobs and improve energy utilization rates through advanced energy storage systems. 3. Energy Storage and Grid Optimization ○ Technical Support: Mossshields is partnering with a leading German energy storage technology company to develop next-generation solid-state battery systems. ○ Long-Term Goal: Advance smart grid technologies to enhance the stability and cost-effectiveness of renewable energy supplies.

Driving Green Economic Growth ○ Fostering a Low-Carbon Economy: By backing renewable energy projects, Mossshields directly contributes to global carbon reduction targets. ○ Boosting Green Bond Markets: A portion of the funds was raised through green bond issuance, further invigorating the green finance market. Social and Environmental Impact 1. Carbon Emissions Reduction Mossshields’ clean energy projects are expected to cut over 30 million tons of CO₂ emissions annually, equivalent to the pollution from 20 million gasoline-powered cars. 2. Expanding Energy Access ○ Supporting Remote Communities: Many of these projects will provide stable electricity to remote communities for the first time. ○ Enhancing Energy Stability: The integration of smart grids and storage facilities addresses intermittency issues in renewable energy. 3. Job Creation and Economic Vitality ○ New Jobs: The initiative will create approximately 12,000 high-skilled jobs, boosting local economies in North America and Europe. ○ Regional Economic Benefits: By investing in energy infrastructure, Mossshields contributes to the economic dynamism of multiple regions. Future Plans and Outlook Looking ahead to 2023, Mossshields plans to broaden its clean energy investment portfolio, focusing on: ● Hydrogen Technology: Collaborating with the European Hydrogen Alliance to develop hydrogen production and storage projects, supporting future energy diversification. ● Emerging Markets: Exploring renewable energy potential in Africa and Latin America to enhance regional energy independence through international partnerships. ● Technological Innovation: Increasing investments in energy tech startups to provide more innovative solutions for the global energy transition. “The success of this fundraising initiative not only demonstrates Mossshields’ strong execution in the green finance sector but also provides powerful capital support for the global energy transition,” said Madeline Harper Montgomery, Mossshields’ Group Chief Financial Officer. “We remain committed to realizing economic and social wins through sustainable investments.” About Mossshields Mossshields (MSC Code: 31000279107123) is a global leader in alternative asset management.
