Orrön Energy – Interim report for the third quarter 2023 3
Words from the CEO
Our business continued to grow during the third quarter , adding scale to our greenfield pipeline and additional production into our
portfolio. We have acquired producing assets at attractive terms, matured several battery and solar projects towards final investment
decisions and are continuing to build our Nordic project pipeline. I am pleased to see the progress in our UK business where we have
secured a pipeline of over 30 GW of grid connections for solar and battery projects. We have also seen great progress at the Karskruv
project where we are expecting handover at the end of November, which is set to add 290 GWh to our annual power generation.
Market conditions were not favourable during the third quarter 2023 where the renewables sector faced continued headwinds, with
sustained low energy prices, rising interest rates and increasing inflationary pressure. Electricity price levels in the Nordics were
further impacted by unseasonably high levels of water in hydropower reservoirs as a result of the storm Hans, coupled with lower
demand during the summer months. The weak price levels in the third quarter resulted in a negative net result for the Company, but
with our robust financial capacity and resilient business model, we remain in a strong financial position. I am pleased to see that the
price trend is starting to move in a more favourable direction as we enter the winter season in Europe.
Growing our Portfolio
Since inception we have been building a pipeline of onshore wind, solar and battery storage projects. During the third quarter, permits
were granted in Sweden for 14 MW of battery projects, with an additional 15 MW of battery and solar projects awaiting final decisions
from the municipalities. Our European development teams continue to lay the foundations for future growth where we are maturing
an early stage portfolio in the UK with over 30 GW of onshore solar and battery projects where grid capacity has already been secured.
We also added profitable growth to our Nordic operational portfolio through the acquisition of ownership in six wind farms in the
SE4 price area in southern Sweden. Looking back over the past year, we have added more than 100 GWh to our operational portfolio
through value accretive acquisitions, which have been possible due to our strong networks in Sweden. This forms a key part of our
strategy to steadily grow our portfolio of cash flow generating assets at attractive terms.
Project delivery at the Karskruv wind farm has been excellent, with final commissioning underway and handover expected ahead of
schedule towards the end of November 2023. The turbines have been generating power since August 2023 and we have completed
trial operations and final handover inspections with only minor commissioning work outstanding . Karskruv will increase the
Company’s estimated annual power generation to 1,100 GWh from 2024, adding significant revenues from the SE4 price region.
Power generation and financial performance
We achieved proportionate power generation of 539 GWh for the reporting period, and 161 GWh during the third quarter , which
was slightly lower than expected mostly due to lower -than-expected wind speeds across the Nordi cs. Our full -year production
estimate remains unchanged at 800 GWh. We delivered in line with our expenditure guidance, and for the reporting period, achieved
an average electricity price of EUR 49 per MWh, proportionate revenues of MEUR 26.6, proportionate EBITDA of MEUR 4.0 and ended
the period with a proportionate net debt position of 66 MEUR. We secured a revolving credit facility of MEUR 150 at the beginning
of July 2023 at attractive rates and with flexible conditions, which gives us ample headroom for growth, allowing us to take advantage
of favourable market condit ions as they arise. During periods of low electricity pricing like we have seen in the third quarter, the
financial resilience of the Company is a real strength.
Beginning of the end in the Sudan legal case
At the beginning of September 2023, the trial in the Sudan legal case started at the Stockholm District Court in Sweden, marking the
beginning of the end of this legacy issue. While it is deeply regrettable that the case has been allowed to proceed this far, personally,
after having spent time listening to the proceedings and receiving continuous updates, I remain entirely convinced that this case will
end in a full acquittal of the defendants and dismissal of all claims against the Company. Our stance towards the case has not changed
over the years, nor have the facts. The defendants and the Company refute any allegations of wrongdoing in what is a baseless case
that has been ongoing for over 13 years related to alleged activities over 20 years ago. We announced during the third quarter tha t
the claimed forfeiture had been increased , which means that, with no change to any of the underlying facts the Prosecutor has
presented three completely different forfeiture amounts based on three different methodologies over the past five years. This raises
serious questions about the substance and credibility of the Prosecutor’s claim, and I see no circumstance in which a corporate fine
or forfeiture would become payable. I am of the firm view that there are no grounds for any allegations of wrongdoing by any former
Company representatives, and that this will now once and for all be proven by the Court process.
Building our business for the long term
Looking ahead to the rest of the year and into 2024, I see a lot of positive triggers within the business that will allow us to continue
to create value. Our production will increase by 40 percent with Karskruv online, our first battery projects will reach investment
decisions and we continue to build a diversified pipeline of projects, which I am convinced will deliver significant value in the coming
years. 2023 has delivered many challenges for the market and for our business, however we remain in a stron g financial position,
have continued to deliver production growth, and I continue to see many exciting opportunities ahead of us.

Operational review
Orrön Energy – Interim report for the third quarter 2023 4
Power generation outlook1
Orrön Energy’s operating portfolio consists of high-quality, cash generating renewable energy assets in the Nordics with an estimated
power generation of 800 GWh in 2023. The proportionate power generation amounted to 539 GWh for the reporting period, and the
Company remains on track to achieve its est imated power generation for 2023 with the lower -than-expected windspeeds in the
second and third quarter offset by the addition of acquired production during the year and contribution from the expected ear ly
handover of the Karskruv project. The wind farm Karskruv, which is under development in southern Sweden, is in final commissioning
stages, with commercial handover expected at the end of November 2023. Once online, Karskruv is set to increase the estimated
annual power generation to 1,100 GWh.

Guidance
The Company delivered in line with guidance for the reporting period. The 2023 guidance for operating expenses is between
MEUR 12-14, where a portion of the operating expenses will vary based on electricity prices. The G&A expense guidance is MEUR 10,
and guidance for legal costs in relation to the defence of the Company and its former representatives in the Sudan legal case is
MEUR 8. Capital expenditure guidance is MEUR 80 and mainly relates to completion of the Karskruv project in southern Sweden, and
capital allocated to the greenfield activities. The Company’s guidance remains unchanged.

the consolidated income statement. More information about the case can be found in the section Contingent liabilities.
Operational assets
The Company’s proportionate power generation amounted to 539 GWh for the reporting period, which was slightly below
expectation. The proportionate power generation in the third quarter amounted to 161 GWh, which was below expectation due to
lower-than-average windspeeds. The Company’s expected power generation in the third quarter is historically lower than in the first
and fourth quarters due to seasonal variations in wind speed.
Realised electricity price amounted to EUR 49 per MWh for the reporting period, and EUR 23 per MWh for the third quarter. Out of
the realised electricity prices, guarantees of origin accounted for EUR 5 per MWh for the reporting period and EUR 4 per MWh for
the third quarter. The Company is awarded and sells guarantees of origin for all of its power generation, certifying that the electricity
has been produced from renewable energy sources. The weighted average regional electricity price for the Company’s power
generation during the reporting period amounted to EUR 53 per MWh, and the Nordic system price averaged EUR 56 per MWh. The
variance to the Company’s realised electricity price is explained by ‘capture price discounts’, which occur in any given period where
a majority of power is generated during periods of low prices relative to the average spot price for the same period. The realised
price for the reporting period included EUR 2 per MWh positive impact from historical hedges linked to acquired companies, and EUR
1 per MWh positive hedging impact for the third quarter. In 2023, less than five percent of the Company’s estimated power
generation is affected by historical hedges related to acquired companies.
Proportionate operating expenses amounted to MEUR 9.8 for the reporting period, which was in line with guidance.
Sweden
The Company owns a diversified portfolio of operational wind power assets across Sweden, which have an estimated proportionate
annual power generation in 2023 of around 500 GWh, with a total net installed capacity of about 190 MW. A major ity of the assets
are situated in the price areas SE3 and SE4. Power generation from the Swedish portfolio was slightly below expectation during the
reporting period, due to lower-than-average windspeeds during the second and third quarter.
Finland
The Company owns 50 percent of the Metsälamminkangas (MLK) wind farm and 100 percent of a 9 GWh wind farm located in Hanko
in Finland. MLK has an estimated gross annual power generation of around 400 GWh, which is generated from 24 turbines with a
total installed capacity of 132 MW. The wind farm has an estimated operational life of around 30 years and has been in operation
since the end of March 2022. An availability warranty is in place from GE Renewable Energy, which guarantees the availability of the
turbines through their operational life and gives the Company protection against downtime and outages. Power generation from
MLK was in line with expectation during the reporting period.

Orrön Energy – Interim report for the third quarter 2023 5
Norway
The Company owns 50 percent of the Leikanger hydropower plant in Norway, which is situated in the NO5 price area. Leikanger has
an estimated gross annual power generation of around 200 GWh per annum, which is generated from a single turbine with a total
capacity of 77 MW. It has been operational since 2021 and has an estimated operational life of approximately 60 years. As the asset
is a run-of-river hydropower plant, the power generation is variable depending mainly on the rate of snow melt during the spring and
summer months, and precipitation conditions during the autumn season. Power generation from Leikanger during the reporting
period was below expectation, mostly due to low precipitation in July.
Project Pipeline
During the reporting period, the Company has taken further steps to develop its growth platforms in the Nordics and Europe, aiming
to create a long-term pipeline of new projects. This includes laying the foundation for greenfield project developments in onshore
wind, solar and battery storage solutions, maturing growth opportunities in the o perational portfolio and finalising construction
activities at the Karskruv wind farm project. The Company has established a presence in all stages of the renewable lifecycle and will
continue to progress and advance its project pipeline.
Nordic Business
Karskruv project
Orrön Energy has a 100 percent interest in the Karskruv wind farm project in southern Sweden, which will add 290 GWh to the
Company’s estimated annual power generation once operational. The Karskruv wind farm consists of 20 Vestas turbines with a total
installed capacity of 86 MW. The wind farm was acquired from OX2, who is managing the construction and commissioning phase
alongside the turbine supplier Vestas. The project has an availability warranty in place, which guarantees the availability of the
turbines through their operational life of approximately 30 years and gives the Company protection against downtime and outag es.
The wind farm is situated in the SE4 price area and constitutes an important part of the Company’s growth.
The Karskruv project is in the final stages of commissioning, and is expected to be handed over to the Company at the end of
November 2023. Project execution and delivery has been excellent and ahead of schedule throughout the project. During the fir st
quarter, civil construction works, including foundation casting and anchor tensioning, were completed. In the second quarter, the
turbine supplier installed all 20 wind turbines, approximately one month ahead of schedule, and grid connection works were
completed. In the third quarter, work to energise and connect all turbines to the grid was finalised. Handover inspections for all
turbines as well as civil and electrical works have been completed. Turbine test runs have been completed successfully, and t he
commissioning is in its final stages prior to project handover.
Development projects
In the Nordics, the Company has identified a range of stand-alone greenfield as well as co-located project opportunities, ranging from
early-stage projects in the screening phase, through to projects with construction permits in place moving towards invest ment
decisions. The identified project opportunities are across proven and low -cost onshore technologies; wind energy, solar energy and
battery storage, which when realised will diversify the Company’s power generation capacity and revenue streams.
The Company is continuously working on securing project rights and the necessary land, grid connections and permits for identified
projects and is continually exploring opportunities to grow its project pipeline. The Company is working on a wide range of
opportunities to organically grow its portfolio, optimise power generation and crystalise further value from its operational assets ,
which includes projects aimed at extending asset lifetimes, re-powering and consolidation of ownership shares.
During the report ing period, work has been ongoing to progress a number of co -location projects within the Company’s existing
portfolio. Permit applications for 29 MW of battery storage and solar projects have been submitted, out of which permits enab ling
battery projects up to 14 MW have been obtained. The Company intends to invest in battery storage solutions, providing ancillary
services and enabling the addition of new revenue streams.
Feasibility studies have been conducted to use the Company’s largest wind farms, MLK and Karskruv, to provide ancillary services
and the Company’s expectation is that MLK will be qualified by the transmission system operator by the end of 2023, and Karsk ruv
in early 2024, shortly after project completion.
In Finland, the Company has entered into a strategic collaboration with a partner with proven track record in delivering rene wable
projects, giving access to an extensive network of developers and other industry stakeholders. The Company aims to leverage this
network in Finland to secure access to both brownfield and greenfield project opportunities.
European Business
In the beginning of 2023, the Company expanded its geographical footprint in Europe and entered into agreements to establish a
business focusing on developing onshore greenfield projects in France, Germany and the UK. The European business is led by an
experienced development team, with a proven track-record in greenfield project origination and development in these markets. The
strategy is to develop
large scale, transmission connected greenfield solar and battery projects to a stage where there is a market
demand for such projects and prior to incurring significant development expenditure.
In the UK, the Company has secured a portfolio of grid connections with a capacity of over 20 GW for solar projects and over 10 GW
of co-located battery projects with grid energisation dates between 2030 and 2039. The Company is working on obtaining access to
land adjacent to the secured grid connections, and has entered into discussions around commercial terms for land lea ses. The grid

portfolio is at early-stage and final project realisation will be dependant on a number of factors, such as access to land, permitting,
fulfilment of projects milestones and commercial viability.
In Germany, the Company has continued its early land screening work, including land constraint mapping, and is now actively working
to secure land positions. The Company has entered into exclusive negotiations to assess project viability and negotiate terms of land
leases.
In France, the Company has carried out early-stage land availability studies as well as high level grid surveys in line with the Company’s
business plan.
Transactions
Orrön Energy’s strategy is to invest in renewable energy projects and pursue value accretive opportunities in the energy transition
to grow and optimise its portfolio.
In February 2023, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire an additional 15 percent ownership in the wind farm Långås ,
which takes the Company’s interest to 32.5 percent. The transaction adds an estimated annual power generation of 3 GWh and
1.2 MW installed capacity in price area SE4.
In February 2023, the Company entered into agreements, focusing on developing brownfield and greenfield projects in Finland,

SE3.
In June 2023, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire a company which has minority ownership stakes in five differen t
wind farms in Sweden. The transaction adds an estimated annual power generation of 4.4 GWh and 1.4 MW installed capacity in
price areas SE3 and SE4. The transaction was completed in July 2023.
In September 2023, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire a company which has various ownership stakes in six different
wind farms in Sweden. The transaction adds an estimated annual power generation of 10.2 GWh and 5 MW installed capacity in price
area SE4. The transaction was completed in October 2023.
Sustainability
Sustainability is at the core of Orrön Energy’s business as a pure play renewables company and constitutes an important cornerstone
of the Company’s long-term shareholder value creation. The Company owns and operates renewable assets in a safe and responsible
manner, with a long-term horizon for the benefit of all its stakeholders.
Climate change is one of the biggest challenges of our time, and the world needs to transition to energy sources with lower
greenhouse gas emissions, such as renewable energy, if we are to limit global warming in line with the Paris Agreement. The energy
transition is backed by firm targets set by the EU, which will require a significant increase of renewable energy generation, with wind
and solar power being highlighted as crucial to achieve these objectives. Orrön Energy is directly contributing to the achievement of
these goals by investing in and increasing the supply of renewable energy in its countries of operation. The demand for clean energy
is set to increase, and Orrön Energy is committed to continue investing in renewable power generation and technologies to drive the
energy transition, for a clean and sustainable energy future.
Orrön Energy’s approach to sustainability is aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, in particular Goal 7 on Affor dable
and Clean Energy, Goal 13 on Climate Action and Goal 15 on Life on Land, which underpins the way in which the Company conducts
its business. This ensures that the business delivers lasting value for all its stakeholders. The Company also actively suppo rts the
UN Global Compact’s 10 Principles on human rights, labour standards, environment and anti-corruption. Orrön Energy is developing
biodiversity enhancement projects in areas around its renewable assets, such as targeted projects aiming to increase biodiver sity,
planting of wildflowers to stimulate the growth of bee populations, wildlife monitoring systems and grazing projects in collaboration
with local farming communities. In addition, the Company considers strong community engagement as essential to its business
success and is collaborating with several loca l organisations to support and contribute to the local communities around its assets.
Environmental aspects and community engagements are key considerations throughout the assets’ operational life.
During the second quarter, the Company was awarded with Prime Status by ISS ESG, one the world’s largest ESG rating agencies.
Health and safety of people and the environment are core priorities for the business and the Company has procedures in place to
identify and mitigate risks, including investigation and reporting of incidents and accidents. During the third quarter, a fire occurred
at one wind turbine, which was safely managed with no personal injury or material environmental impact. A thorough investigat ion
has been conducted to identify both the root cause and preventative measures. There were no other recordable health and safety
incidents during the reporting period.

Orrön Energy – Interim report for the third quarter 2023 7
Changes in the Group
The Company has from 1 January 2023 changed its presentation currency from US dollar to Euro to better reflect the economic
environment in which the Company operates. Assets and liabilities, for each period presented, have been translated at closing rate
of the respective balance sheet date. Income and expenses for each period presented have been translated at average rate for the
period and all resulting exchange differences have been recognised in other comprehensive income.
In 2022, Orrön Energy Holding AB, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Orrön Energy AB (publ), made a public offer to acquire all shares in
Slitevind AB (publ) (“Slitevind”) for SEK 125 in cash per share. The offer was accepted by shareholders owning 96.5 percent of all
shares and votes in Slitevind. The remaining shares have been acquired in 2023 through a compulsory buy -out procedure, in
accordance with the Swedish Companies A ct. Slitevind has subsequently been renamed Orrön Energy Sweden AB (“Orrön Energy
Sweden”).
On 30 June 2022, Orrön Energy, then named Lundin Energy, completed a transaction to combine the Company’s exploration and
production (“E&P”) business with Aker BP. The result of this transaction is shown as discontinued operations in the comparative
income statement for 2022. In addition, the comparative statement of cash flows show the cashflow from discontinued operations.
Through this transaction, the shareholders of the Company received cash totalling USD 2.2 billion and 271,908,589 shares in Aker BP,
and retained their shareholding in Orrön Energy. The combination was carried out as a statutory cross-border merger in accordance
with Norwegian and Swedish law, through which Aker BP absorbed Lundin Energy MergerCo AB (publ), which at the time of the
completion contained the Company’s E&P business. Shortly before the merger and completion of the transaction, the shares in
Lundin Energy MergerCo (publ) were distributed to the Company’s shareholders as a so called lex asea dividend.
Revenue and results – Consolidated financials
EBITDA for the reporting period amounted to MEUR -4.2 compared to MEUR -1.9 in the same period last year , with the increased
revenues resulting from the acquisition of Slitevind being more than offset by lower share in result from associates and joint ventures
due to lower achieved electricity prices.
Revenue
Revenue from power generation amounted to MEUR 19.6 (MEUR 2.5) for the reporting period. The fully consolidated Orrön Energy
Sweden started to contribute to the Group’s result from 1 September 2022 and impacted the revenue for the same period last year
with one month. The MLK wind farm and the Leikanger hydropower plant are consolidated through the equity method and therefore
reported as share in result from associates and joint ventures.
Operating expenses
Operating expenses amounted to MEUR 9.4 (MEUR 0.5) for the reporting period. T he explanation given in the section above on
revenue also explains the variation in operating expenses compared to the same period last year.
General and administration expenses
General and administration expenses amounted to MEUR 13.6 (MEUR 12.0) for the reporting period, of which MEUR 5.3 (MEUR 4.7)
related to legal and other fees incurred for the defence of the Company and its former representatives in the Sudan legal case. A non-
cash expense of MEUR 1.6 (MEUR 0.4) relating to long-term incentive plans has been recorded in the reporting period.
Share in result from associates and joint ventures
Share in result from associates and joint ventures amounted to MEUR -1.2 (MEUR 8.1 Gain) for the reporting period and is detailed
in note 2. This represents mainly Orrön Energy’s portion of the results in the 50 percent owned joint ventures, the MLK wind farm
and the Leikanger hydropower plant. These investments are consolidated through the equity method and the net result of these
entities is therefore recognised as a single line item in the income statement. The share in result from the MLK wind farm, w hich
started to generate power in the second quarter of 2022, amounted to MEUR -1.6 (MEUR 4.4) for the reporting period. The result
reported in the same period last year included liquidated damages net of tax, due to late start-up of the wind farm in 2022. The share
in result from the Leikanger hydropower plant represented a gain of MEUR 0.4 ( MEUR 3.6). The decrease compared to the same
period last year was due to lower achieved electricity prices.
Net financial items
Finance income amounted to MEUR 4.8 (MEUR 4.2) for the reporting period and is further detailed in note 3. Interest income of
MEUR 4.1 (MEUR 1.4) related to loans to joint ventures. Other finance income amounted to MEUR 0. 7 (MEUR 2.1) and represented
a financial gain due to the variation in market value of historical hedges between 31 December 2022 and the balance sheet date.
Finance costs amounted to MEUR 7.8 (MEUR 2.7) for the reporting period and are detailed in Note 4. The net foreign exchange loss
for the reporting period amounted to MEUR 4.0 ( MEUR 0.7 Gain). Foreign exchange movements occur on the settlement of
transactions denominated in foreign currencies and the revaluation of working capital and loan balances to the prevailing exc hange
rate at the balance sheet date where those monetary assets and liabilities are held in currencies other than the functional currencies
of the Group’s entities. Orrön Energy is exposed to exchange rate fluctuations relating to the relationship between Euro and other
currencies. The net foreign exchange loss rel ated mainly to the revaluation of intercompany loan balances, denominated in other
currencies than the functional currency of the group company providing the financing. Interest expenses amounted to MEUR 3.1
(MEUR 0.2) and related to the Group’s external loans. Other finance costs amounted to MEUR 0.7 (MEUR 2.5) and represented mainly
fees and other costs in relation to the Company’s revolving credit facility.

Revenue and results – Proportionate financials
In addition to the consolidated financial reporting in line with IFRS, the Group provides proportionate financial reporting which forms
part of the alternative performance measures the Group presents. Proportionate reporting is aligned with the Group’s internal
management reporting, analysis and decision making.
Proportionate financials represent Orrön Energy’s proportionate share of all the entities in which the Group holds an ownership.
This is different to the consolidated financial reporting under IFRS, where the results from entities in which the Group holds an
ownership of 50 percent or less are not fully consolidated but instead reported on one line, as share of result in joint ventures. All
entities in which the Group holds an ownership of more than 50 percent are fully consolidated in the financial reporting presented

Proportionate revenues amounted to MEUR 26.6 (MEUR 25.3) for the reporting period, which included revenues from the Company’s
operational assets in the Nordics. During the same period last year, revenues from the Leikanger hydropower plant contributed for
the full pe riod, the MLK wind farm contributed from 1 April and the asset portfolio from Orrön Energy Sweden contributed from
1 September.
EBITDA amounted to MEUR 4.0 (MEUR 11.4) for the reporting period , with increased power generation being more than offset by
lower electricity prices and higher operating costs linked to the larger asset base.
Proportionate operating expenses relating to operating assets amounted to MEUR 9.8 (MEUR 3.8) for the reporting period.
The Group operates in various countries and fiscal regimes where corporate income tax rates are different from the regulation s in
Sweden. Corporate income tax rates for the Group vary between 13.7 and 20.6 percent for the majority of the business with the
exception of Norway. Following a change to the hydropower tax regime in Norway in late 2022, the Leikanger hydropower plant i s
subject to a tax rate of 67 percent. This change consists of an eight -percentage point increase in ground rent tax, effective
retroactively from 1 January 2022. The additional 23 percent levy on electricity sold at a price exceeding NOK 700 per MWh effective
from 28 September 2022, is proposed to be terminated from 1 October 2023 in the Norwegian Government’s national budget
proposal for 2024.
Cash flow and investments – Consolidated financials
Cash flow
Net cash flows from operating activities amounted to MEUR 15.1 (MEUR -5.7) for the reporting period. The positive cash flows from
operating activities included dividend payments from joint ventures of MEUR 13.1(MEUR 7.3).
Investments
Cash flow s from investing activities amounted to MEUR 59.3 (MEUR 127.2), out of which MEUR 54.5 (MEUR 47.5) related to
investments in the renewable energy business. The acquisition of the remaining 3.5 percent of the shares in O rrön Energy Sweden,
which have been acquired in 2023, together with acquisition of a company and additional ownership in wind farms in Sweden,
impacted the cash flows from investing activities with MEUR 4.7.
Financing and liquidity – Consolidated financials
On 3 July 2023, the Group entered into a new three -year revolving credit facility of MEUR 150, at a floating interest rate margin 1.8
percent above EURIBOR. The new facility includes an additional MEUR 150 accordion option and replaced the previous MEUR 100
revolving credit facility.
Interest bearing loans and borrowings amounted to MEUR 91.8 (MEUR –) and related mainly to an outstanding loan of MEUR 89.0
(MEUR –), which has been drawn under the Group’s revolving credit facility. Interest bearing loans and borrowings also included a
long-term loan of MEUR 2.8 (MEUR –) taken up by a subsidiary. Following the completion of the refinancing, the amount drawn under
the Group’s previous MEUR 100 revolving credit facility was reclassified in the second quarter 2023 from current to non -current

Parent Company
The business of the Parent Company is to invest in and manage operations within the renewable energy sector as of 1 July 2022. This
is a change to the Company’s previous business mainly conducted within the oil and gas sector.
The Parent Company reported a gain of MSEK 67.5 (MSEK -539.1 loss) for the reporting period , which was mainly impacted by
financial income and general and administration expenses.
General and administration expenses amounted to MSEK 141.4 (MSEK 157.6), out of which MSEK 61.3 (MSEK 51.3) related to legal
fees and other costs incurred for the defence of the Company and its former representatives in the Sudan legal case.
Finance income amounted to MSEK 186.2 (MSEK 23.0) and related to dividends and group contributions received from a subsidiary.
Contingent Liabilities
In November 2021, the Swedish Prosecution Authority brought criminal charges against former repres entatives of the Company in
relation to past operations in Sudan from 1999 to 2003. The charges also included claims against the Company for a corporate fine
of MSEK 3.0 and forfeiture of economic benefits of MSEK 2,381.3, which according to the Swedish Prosecution Authority represents
the value of the gain of MSEK 720.1 that the Company made on the sale of an asset in 2003. The claim for forfeiture of economic
benefits was increased from MSEK 1,391.8 by the Swedish Prosecution Authority in August 2023. This latest increase to the claimed
forfeiture amount means that the Prosecutor has presented three completely different amounts, based on three different
methodologies, over the past five years, raising serious questions ab out the substance and credibility of the Prosecutor’s claim . It is
obvious that the methodology used by the Prosecutor to arrive at the claimed forfeiture amount is fundamentally flawed, leading to
an unreasonable forfeiture claim which has no basis in law and is highly speculative. Any potential corporate fine or forfeiture of
economic benefits would only be imposed after an adverse final conclusion of the case. The trial at the Stockholm District Court
started in September 2023 and is expected to last until February 2026. The Company refutes that there are any grounds for allegations
of wrongdoing by any of its former representatives and sees no circumstance in which a corporate fine or forfeiture could become
payable. The Company considers this to be a contingent liability and therefore no provision has been recognised.
As part of the IPC spin- off that was completed on 24 April 2017, the Company has indemnified IPC for certain legal proceedings
related to the period before the spin-off concerning Indonesian land and building tax assessed for the fiscal years 2012 and 2013.
The Company has not recognised any provision in relation hereto as it does not believe the proceedings will lead to any liabi lity for
the Company.
A portion of the Company’s past operations was held through a Canadian holding structure when acquired back in 2006. The tax
filings in Canada since 2006 in relation to both corporate income tax and withholding tax are under review by the Canadian Tax Office.
All tax has been paid in relation to these tax filings and no provision has been recognised.

Remuneration
The Policy on Remuneration and details of long-term incentive plans (“LTIP”) are provided on www.orron.com.
Employee LTIP
In 2022, a new long-term share-related incentive plan was introduced in the form of a share option plan for members of Group
management and other employees of the Company as approved by the 2022 EGM ( “Employee LTIP 2022” ). The reason for
establishing a new long-term share related incentive plan was to align the interests of the members of Group management and other
employees with the interests of the shareholders as well as to provide market appropriate reward for a new business reflectin g
continuity, commitment and share appreciation.
The Employee LTIP 2022 was introduced as part of a new remuneration approach within the updated Policy on Remuneration for
Group management, where base salaries and annual bonus opportunities have been set at the lower end of the market to create an
overall remuneration approach that further emphasises the long-term sustainable growth and strategic success of the Company. The
updated Policy on Remuneration was approved by the 2022 EGM.
In order to secure the Company’s obligati ons under the Employee LTIP 2022, the Company has issued 8,560,000 warrants, which
were registered on 5 July 2022.
A similar plan was approved by the 2023 AGM (“Employee LTIP 2023").
In order to secure the Company’s obligations under the Employee LTIP 2023, the 2023 AGM resolved to approve that the Company
enters into an equity swap arrangement with a third party, whereby the third party in its own name shall be entitled to acquire and
transfer shares (including to the participants) in accordance with the terms and conditions of Employee LTIP 2023. The equity swap
arrangement was concluded during the second quarter 2023.
Board LTIP
The 2022 EGM resolved to approve a one -off long-term share-related incentive plan for members of the Board ( “Board LTIP 2022”)
in the form of a share option plan.
The Company has secured its obligations under the Board LTIP 2022 by entering into an equity swap arrangement with a third party,
whereby the third party in its own name shall be entitled to acquire and transfer shares (including to the participants) in accordance
with the plan.

Key Financial Data
Orrön Energy – Interim report for the third quarter 2023 25
The alternative performance measures presented and disclosed in this interim report are used internally by management in
conjunction with IFRS measures to measure performance and make decisions regarding the future direction of the business. The
Group believes that these alternative performance measures, when provided in combination with reported IFRS measures, provide
helpful supplementary information for investors.
In addition to the consolidated financial reporting in line with IFRS, the Group provides proportionate financial reporting, which forms
part of the alternative performance measures the Group presents. Proportionate reporting is aligned with the Group’s internal
management reporting, analysis and decision making.
Proportionate financials represent Orrön Energy’s proportionate share of all the entities in which the Group holds an ownership.
This is different to the consolidated financial reporting under IFRS, where the results from entities in which the Group holds an
ownership of 50 percent or less are not fully consolidated but instead reported on one line, as share of result in joint ventures. All
entities, in which the Group holds an ownership of more than 50 percent are fully consolidated in the financial reporting presented
under IFRS.
Reconciliations of relevant alternative performance measures are provided on the following page. Definitions of the performan ce
measures are provided under the key ratio definitions below.
