Status of Our Public Offering
We commenced our initial public offering of shares on April 25, 2014. As of September 20, 2017, we had accepted investors’ subscriptions for and issued approximately 18,745,000 shares in the offering, resulting in our receipt of gross proceeds of approximately $183,392,000.
Update to Our Share Offering Prices
Pursuant to the net asset value determination by the Company as of June 30, 2017, the net asset value had increased above the company’s net proceeds per share. Therefore, the company has increased the offering price per share to the following prices, effective August 4, 2017: (i) $9.724 per Class A share; (ii) $9.078 per Class C share; and (iii) $8.932 per Class I share.

| (1) | The proceeds are calculated before deducting certain organization and offering expenses to the company. In addition to selling commissions and dealer manager fees, the company estimates that it will incur in connection with this offering approximately $12 million of expenses (approximately 1.5% of the gross proceeds) if the maximum number of shares is sold. This range is an estimate only of the organization and offering expenses to be incurred by the company throughout the term of this offering. We expect that the organization and offering expenses will fluctuate through the completion of this offering. The company will reimburse the advisor and its affiliates for these costs and for future organization and offering expenses they may incur on the company’s behalf, but only to the extent that the reimbursement would not cause the selling commissions, the dealer manager fee and the other organization and offering expenses borne by the company to exceed 15% of gross offering proceeds as of the date of reimbursement. This table excludes the distribution fees for Class C shares, which will be paid over time. With respect to Class C shares, the company will pay the dealer manager a distribution fee that accrues daily equal to 1/365th of 0.80% of the amount of the net asset value for the Class C shares for such day on a continuous basis from year to year, until the earlier to occur of the following: (i) a listing of the Class C shares on a national securities exchange, (ii) following the completion of this offering, total underwriting compensation in this offering equaling 10% of the gross proceeds from the company’s primary offering, or (iii) there are no longer any Class C shares outstanding. The company may also pay additional underwriting compensation and other fees to the dealer manager. See “Compensation of the Advisor and the Dealer Manager,” “Plan of Distribution” and “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions.” |
| (2) | The company is offering certain volume discounts resulting in reductions in selling commissions and dealer manager fees payable by investors with respect to sales of shares for certain minimum aggregate purchase amounts. See “Plan of Distribution—Volume Discounts.” |
| (3) | Assumes that (i) primary offering gross proceeds come from sales of 1/3 each of Class A, Class C and Class I shares, respectively, and (ii) that the offering price of $9.724 per Class A share, $9.078 per Class C share and $8.932 per Class I share, respectively, will remain as such throughout the term of this offering. |

* Approximate.
** Does not include assumed project level debt.
*** The forecasted initial (or first year) yield is equal to the asset’s net cash flow divided by the purchase price of the asset, expressed as a percentage. The asset’s first year of net cash flow is equal to electricity revenue net of operating expenses and debt service payments. Electricity revenue is equal to the forecast first year’s electricity production multiplied by the contracted electricity rate plus the contracted price of renewable energy credits, to the extent applicable. Operating expenses are based on first year contracted expenses. The initial yield does not factor in expenses incurred, or closing costs involved, in the acquisition of the asset. The initial yield is not a measure of the fund’s performance and it is not necessarily indicative of distributions that the fund may provide to investors. This metric may vary over time based on the variability of electricity production.

FOR SIC INVESTORS ONLY
BY SIGNING BELOW, YOU ALSO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT:
| • | YOU SHOULD NOT EXPECT TO BE ABLE TO SELL YOUR SHARES REGARDLESS OF HOW WE PERFORM. |
| • | IF YOU ARE ABLE TO SELL YOUR SHARES, YOU WILL LIKELY RECEIVE LESS THAN YOUR PURCHASE PRICE. |
| • | WE DO NOT INTEND TO LIST OUR SHARES ON ANY SECURITIES EXCHANGE DURING OR FOR WHAT MAY BE A SIGNIFICANT TIME AFTER THE OFFERING PERIOD, AND WE DO NOT EXPECT A SECONDARY MARKET IN THE SHARES TO DEVELOP. |
| • | BEGINNING THE SECOND QUARTER OF 2013, WE IMPLEMENTED A SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM, BUT ONLY A LIMITED NUMBER OF SHARES ARE ELIGIBLE FOR |
| • | REPURCHASE BY US. IN ADDITION, ANY SUCH REPURCHASES WILL BE AT A PRICE EQUAL TO OUR MOST RECENTLY DISCLOSED NET ASSET VALUE PER SHARE IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO THE DATE OF REPURCHASE. |
| • | YOU SHOULD CONSIDER THAT YOU MAY NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THE MONEY YOU INVEST FOR AN INDEFINITE PERIOD OF TIME. |
| • | AN INVESTMENT IN OUR SHARES IS NOT SUITABLE FOR YOU IF YOU NEED ACCESS TO THE MONEY YOU INVEST. SEE “SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM,” “SUITABILITY STANDARDS” AND “SHARE LIQUIDITY STRATEGY.” |
| • | BECAUSE YOU WILL BE UNABLE TO SELL YOUR SHARES, YOU WILL BE UNABLE TO REDUCE YOUR EXPOSURE IN ANY MARKET DOWNTURN. |
| • | OUR DISTRIBUTIONS MAY BE FUNDED FROM OFFERING PROCEEDS OR BORROWINGS, WHICH MAY CONSTITUTE A RETURN OF CAPITAL AND REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF CAPITAL AVAILABLE TO US FOR INVESTMENT. ANY CAPITAL RETURNED TO STOCKHOLDERS THROUGH DISTRIBUTIONS WILL BE DISTRIBUTED AFTER PAYMENT OF FEES AND EXPENSES. |
| • | OUR PREVIOUS DISTRIBUTIONS TO STOCKHOLDERS WERE FUNDED FROM TEMPORARY FEE REDUCTIONS THAT ARE SUBJECT TO REPAYMENT TO OUR ADVISER. THESE DISTRIBUTIONS WERE NOT BASED ON OUR INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE AND MAY NOT CONTINUE IN THE FUTURE. IF OUR ADVISER HAD NOT AGREED TO MAKE EXPENSE SUPPORT PAYMENTS, THESE DISTRIBUTIONS WOULD HAVE COME FROM YOUR PAID IN CAPITAL. THE REIMBURSEMENT OF THESE PAYMENTS OWED TO OUR ADVISER WILL REDUCE THE FUTURE DISTRIBUTIONS TO WHICH YOU WOULD OTHERWISE BE ENTITLED. |
