Note 1. - Nature of the business

Atlantica Sustainable Infrastructure plc (“Atlantica” or the “Company”) is a sustainable infrastructure company that owns, manages and invests in renewable energy, storage, efficient natural gas & heat, transmission lines and water assets focused on North America (the United States, Canada and Mexico), South America (Peru, Chile and Uruguay) and EMEA (Spain, Algeria and South Africa).

Atlantica’s shares began trading on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “ABY” on June 13, 2014. The symbol changed to “AY” on November 11, 2017.

Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. (“Algonquin”) is the largest shareholder of the Company and currently owns a 44.2% stake in Atlantica. Algonquin’s voting rights and rights to appoint directors are limited to 41.5% and the difference between Algonquin´s ownership and 41.5% will vote replicating non-Algonquin’s shareholders’ vote.

During 2020, the Company completed the following acquisitions:

On April 3, 2020, the Company made an initial investment in the creation of a renewable energy platform in Chile, together with financial partners, where it owns approximately a 35% stake and has a strategic investor role. The first investment was the acquisition of a 55 MW solar PV plant (“Chile PV 1”). The Company’s initial contribution was approximately $4 million. In addition, on January 6, 2021, the Company closed its second investment through the platform with the acquisition of a 40 MW solar PV plant (“Chile PV 2”). This asset started commercial operation in 2017 and its revenue is partially contracted. The total equity investment for this new asset was approximately $5.0 million. The platform intends to make further investments in renewable energy in Chile and to sign PPAs with credit worthy off-takers.

In January 2019, the Company entered into an agreement with Abengoa (references to “Abengoa” refer to Abengoa, S.A., together with its subsidiaries, or Abenewco1, S.A. together with its subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise requires) for the acquisition of a 51% stake in Tenes, a water desalination plant in Algeria. Closing of the acquisition was subject to certain conditions precedent, which were not fulfilled. In accordance with the terms of the share purchase agreement, the advance payment made for the acquisition was converted into a secured loan to be reimbursed by Befesa Agua Tenes, the holding company of Tenes, together with 12% per annum interest, through a full cash-sweep of all the dividends to be received from the asset. On May 31, 2020, the Company entered into a new agreement, which provides the Company with certain additional decision rights, a majority at the board of directors of Befesa Agua Tenes and control over the asset.

On August 17, 2020, the Company closed the acquisition of Liberty’s equity interest in Solana. Liberty was the tax equity investor in the Solana project. The total equity investment is expected to be up to $285 million of which $272 million has already been paid. The total price includes a deferred payment and a performance earn-out based on the average annual net production of the asset in the four calendar years with the highest annual net production during the five calendar years of 2020 through 2024.

In December 2020, the Company reached an agreement with Algonquin to acquire La Sierpe, a 20 MW solar asset in Colombia for a total equity investment of approximately $20 million. Closing is expected to occur after the asset reaches commercial operation, currently expected to occur in the third quarter of 2021. Closing is subject to conditions precedent and regulatory approvals. Additionally, the Company agreed to invest in additional solar plants in Colombia with a combined capacity of approximately 30 MW.

In January 2021 the Company closed the acquisition of 42.5% of the equity of Rioglass, a supplier of spare parts and services in the solar industry, increasing its stake to 57.5%. In addition, on July 22, 2021 the Company exercised the option to acquire the remaining stake of 42.5%. The investment made in 2021 to acquire the additional 85% equity, resulting in a 100% ownership, has been approximately $17.1 million (Note 5). The Company initially classified the investment as held for sale in the Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements for the period ended March 31, 2021. Nevertheless, the accounting requirements of IFRS 5, Non.current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, to classify the investment as held for sale are no longer fulfilled given that the sale is no longer considered highly probable. Accordingly, as prescribed in IFRS 5, the investment has been fully consolidated from the acquisition date in January 2021.

On April 7, 2021, the Company closed the acquisition of Coso, a 135 MW renewable asset in California. Coso is the third largest geothermal plant in the United States and provides base load renewable energy to the California Independent System Operator (California ISO). It has PPAs signed with three investment grade off-takers, with a 19-year average contract life. The total equity investment was approximately $130 million (Note 5). In addition, on July 15, 2021, the Company paid an additional amount of approximately $40 million to reduce project debt.

On May 14, 2021, the Company closed the acquisition of Calgary District Heating, an approximately 55 MWt district heating asset in Canada for a total equity investment of approximately $22.5 million (Note 5). Calgary District Heating has been in operation since 2010 and represents the first investment of the Company in this sector, which is recognized as a key measure for cities to reduce emissions by the UN Environment Program. The asset provides heating services to a diverse range of government, institutional and commercial customers in the city of Calgary.

On June 16, 2021, the Company acquired a 49% interest in a 596 MW portfolio of wind assets in the United States (Vento II) for a total equity investment net of cash consolidated at transaction date of approximately $180.7 million (Note 7). EDP Renewables owns the remaining 51%. The assets have PPAs with investment grade off-takers with five-year average remaining contract life.

(*)	Commercial Operation Date

The Kaxu project financing arrangement contains cross-default provisions related to Abengoa such that debt defaults by Abengoa, subject to certain threshold amounts and/or a restructuring process, could trigger a default under the Kaxu project financing arrangement. The insolvency filing by the individual company Abengoa S.A. on February 22, 2021 represents a theoretical event of default under the Kaxu project finance agreement. Although the Company does not expect the acceleration of debt to be declared by the credit entities, Kaxu does not have what International Accounting Standards define as an unconditional right to defer the settlement of the debt for at least twelve months, as the cross-default provisions make that right conditional. Therefore, Kaxu total debt (Note 15) has been presented as current in the Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements of the Company as of June 30, 2021 for an amount of $359 million, in accordance with International Accounting Standards 1 (“IAS 1”), “Presentation of Financial Statements”. The Company is currently negotiating a waiver from the creditors and/or contractual modifications to permanently remove the cross-default provision.

Use of estimates

Some of the accounting policies applied require the application of significant judgment by management to select the appropriate assumptions to determine these estimates. These assumptions and estimates are based on the Company´s historical experience, advice from experienced consultants, forecasts and other circumstances and expectations as of the close of the financial period. The assessment is considered in relation to the global economic situation of the industries and regions where the Company operates, taking into account future development of its businesses. By their nature, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty; therefore, actual results could materially differ from the estimates and assumptions used. In such cases, the carrying values of assets and liabilities are adjusted.

The most critical accounting policies, which require significant management estimates and judgment are as follows:

●

Contracted concessional agreements.

●

Impairment of contracted concessional assets.

●

Assessment of control.

●

Derivative financial instruments and fair value estimates.

●

Income taxes and recoverable amount of deferred tax assets.

Table of Contents

As of the date of preparation of these Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements, no relevant changes in estimates made are anticipated and, therefore, no significant changes in the value of assets and liabilities recognized at June 30, 2021, are expected.

Although these estimates and assumptions are being made using all available facts and circumstances, it is possible that future events may require management to amend such estimates and assumptions in future periods. Changes in accounting estimates are recognized prospectively, in accordance with IAS 8, in the consolidated income statement of the period in which the change occurs.

Note 3. - Financial risk management

Atlantica’s activities are exposed to various financial risks: market risk (including currency risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. Risk is managed by the Company’s Risk, Finance and Compliance Departments, which are responsible for identifying and evaluating financial risks, quantifying them by project, region and company, in accordance with mandatory internal management rules. Written internal policies exist for global risk management, as well as for specific areas of risk. In addition, there are official written management regulations regarding key controls and control procedures for each company and the implementation of these controls is monitored through internal audit procedures.

These Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements do not include all financial risk management information and disclosures required for annual financial statements and should be read together with the information included in Note 3 to Atlantica’s annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020 included in the 2020 20-F.

Note 4. - Financial information by segment

Atlantica’s segment structure reflects how management currently makes financial decisions and allocates resources. Its operating and reportable segments are based on the following geographies where the contracted concessional assets are located: North America, South America and EMEA. In addition, based on the type of business, as of June 30, 2021, the Company had the following business sectors: Renewable energy, Efficient natural gas & Heat, Transmission lines and Water. The business sector “Efficient natural gas” has been renamed “Efficient natural gas & Heat” in these Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements as it includes the Calgary District Heating asset acquired in May 2021 (Note 5).

Atlantica’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), which is the CEO, assesses the performance and assignment of resources according to the identified operating segments. The CODM considers the revenue as a measure of the business activity and the Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of the performance of each segment. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as profit/(loss) for the period attributable to the parent company, after adding back loss/(profit) attributable to non-controlling interests, income tax, share of profit/(loss) of associates carried under the equity method, finance expense net, depreciation, amortization and impairment charges of entities included in these Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements.

In order to assess performance of the business, the CODM receives reports of each reportable segment using revenue and Adjusted EBITDA. Net interest expense evolution is assessed on a consolidated basis. Financial expense and amortization are not taken into consideration by the CODM for the allocation of resources.

Table of Contents

Additionally, the Company owns the following derivatives instruments:

currency options with leading international financial institutions, which guarantee minimum Euro-U.S. dollar exchange rates. The strategy of the Company is to hedge the exchange rate for the distributions from its Spanish assets after deducting euro-denominated interest payments and euro-denominated general and administrative expenses. Through currency options, the Company hedges 100% of its euro-denominated net exposure for the next 12 months and 75% of its euro denominated net exposure for the following 12 months, on a rolling basis. Hedge accounting is not applied to these options.

the conversion option of notes issued in July 2020 (Note 14), with a negative fair value of $17.9 million as of June 30, 2021 recorded as a derivative liability (derivative liability of $25.9 million as of December 31, 2020).

Note 10. - Fair value of financial instruments

Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified based on the nature of the inputs used for the calculation of fair value:

●	Level 1: Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

●	Level 2: Fair value is measured based on inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

●	Level 3: Fair value is measured based on unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

As of June 30, 2021, all the financial instruments measured at fair value correspond to derivatives and have been classified as Level 2, except for the investments held in Ten West Link, which has been classified as Level 3.

Interest accrues at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 3-month EURIBOR plus 4.50%. The interest rate on the Note Issuance Facility 2019 is fully hedged by an interest rate swap resulting in the Company paying a net fixed interest rate of 4.24%. The Note Issuance Facility 2019 provided that the Company may capitalize interest on the notes issued thereunder for a period of up to two years from closing at the Company´s discretion, subject to certain conditions, and the Company elected to capitalize such interest until the end of 2020. The Note Issuance Facility 2019 has been fully repaid on June 4, 2021, and subsequently delisted from the Official List of The International Stock Exchange.

On October 8, 2019, the Company filed a euro commercial paper program (the “Commercial Paper”) with the Alternative Fixed Income Market (MARF) in Spain. The program had an original maturity of twelve months and was extended for another twelve-month period on October 8, 2020. The program allows Atlantica to issue short term notes over the next twelve months for up to €50 million (approximately $59 million), with such notes having a tenor of up to two years. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had €11.5 million (approximately $13.6 million) issued and outstanding under the program at an average cost of 0.57% (€17.4 million, approximately $20.6 million, as of December 31, 2020).

Upon exchange, the notes may be settled, at the election of the Company, into Atlantica ordinary shares, cash or a combination thereof. The exchange rate is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events.

As per IAS 32, “Financial Instruments: Presentation”, the conversion option of the Green Exchangeable Notes is an embedded derivative classified within the line “Derivative liabilities” of these Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements (Note 9). It was initially valued at transaction date for $10 million, and prospective changes to its fair value are accounted for directly through the profit and loss statement. The principal element of the Green Exchangeable Notes, classified within the line “Corporate debt” of these Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements, is initially valued as the difference between the consideration received from the holders of the instrument and the value of the embedded derivative, and thereafter, at amortized cost using the effective interest method as per IFRS 9, “Financial Instruments”.

On December 4, 2020, the Company entered into a loan with a local bank (Bank loan) for €5 million, approximately $5.9 million. The Bank loan accrues interest at a rate per year equal to 2.50%. The maturity date is December 4, 2025.

Note 15. - Project debt

This note shows the project debt linked to the contracted concessional assets included in Note 6 of these Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements.

Project debt is generally used to finance contracted assets, exclusively using as guarantee the assets and cash flows of the company or group of companies carrying out the activities financed. In addition, the cash of the Company´s projects includes funds held to satisfy the customary requirements of certain non-recourse debt agreements and other restricted cash for an amount of $292 million as of June 30, 2021 ($280 million as of December 31, 2020).

Table of Contents

The breakdown of project debt for both non-current and current liabilities as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 is as follows:

	Balance as of June 30,		Balance as of December 31,
	2021		2020
	($ in thousands)
Non-current		4,678,849		4,925,268
Current		695,341		312,346
Total Project debt		5,374,190		5,237,614

The increase in total project debt as of June 30, 2021 is primarily due to business combinations for a total amount of $322 million (Note 5), partially offset by the lower value of debt denominated in Euros given the depreciation of the Euro against the U.S. dollar since December 31, 2020, and the repayment of Project debt for the period in accordance with the financing arrangements.

The Kaxu project financing arrangement contains cross-default provisions related to Abengoa such that debt defaults by Abengoa, subject to certain threshold amounts and/or a restructuring process, could trigger a default under the Kaxu project financing arrangement. The insolvency filing by the individual company Abengoa S.A. on February 22, 2021 represents a theoretical event of default under the Kaxu project finance agreement. Although the Company does not expect the acceleration of debt to be declared by the credit entities, Kaxu does not have what International Accounting Standards define as an unconditional right to defer the settlement of the debt for at least twelve months, as the cross-default provisions make that right conditional. Therefore, Kaxu total debt has been presented as current in the Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements of the Company as of June 30, 2021 for an amount of $359 million, in accordance with International Accounting Standards 1 (“IAS 1”), “Presentation of Financial Statements”. The Company is currently negotiating a waiver from the creditors and/or contractual modifications to permanently remove the cross-default provision.

The repayment schedule for project debt in accordance with the financing arrangements and assuming there will be no acceleration of the Kaxu debt, as of June 30, 2021, is as follows and is consistent with the projected cash flows of the related projects:

Remainder of 2021
Interest repayment		Nominal repayment		Between January and June 2022		Between July and December 2022		2023		2024		2025		Subsequent years		Total

The repayment schedule for project debt in accordance with the financing arrangements as of December 31, 2020, was as follows and was consistent with the projected cash flows of the related projects:

2021					2022		2023		2024		2025		Subsequent years		Total

	19,287			293,059		328,364		355,806		371,548		508,843		3,360,707		5,237,614

Other Liabilities		222,444		201,002
Grants and other non-current liabilities		1,221,702		1,229,767

As of June 30, 2021, the amount recorded in Grants primarily corresponds to the ITC Grant awarded by the U.S. Department of the Treasury to Solana and Mojave for a total amount of $658 million ($674 million as of December 31, 2020). The amount recorded in Grants as a liability is progressively recorded as other income over the useful life of the asset.

Table of Contents

The remaining balance of the “Grants” account corresponds to loans with interest rates below market rates for Solana and Mojave for a total amount of $339 million ($352 million as of December 31, 2020). Loans with the Federal Financing Bank guaranteed by the Department of Energy for these projects bear interest at a rate below market rates for these types of projects and terms. The difference between proceeds received from these loans and its fair value, is initially recorded as “Grants” in the consolidated statement of financial position, and subsequently recorded progressively in “Other operating income”.

Total amount of income for these two types of grants for Solana and Mojave is $29.4 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 (Note 20).

Other liabilities primarily include $52 million of non-current finance lease liabilities and $106 million of dismantling provision as of June 30, 2021 ($52 million and $88 million as of December 2020, respectively).

Note 17. - Trade payables and other current liabilities

Trade payables and other current liabilities as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 are as follows:

	Balance as of June 30,		Balance as of December 31,
	2021		2020

Trade accounts payable		74,689		54,219
Down payments from clients		4,244		416
Other accounts payable		54,522		37,922
Total		133,455		92,557

Trade accounts payables mainly relate to the operation and maintenance of the plants.

Nominal values of trade payables and other current liabilities are considered to be approximately equal to fair values and the effect of discounting them is not significant.

Note 18. - Income Tax

The effective tax rate for the periods presented has been established based on Management’s best estimates, taking into account the tax treatment of permanent differences and tax credits.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, income tax amounted to a $33,128 thousand expense with respect to a profit before income tax of $37,615 thousand. In the six-month period ended June 30, 2020, income tax amounted to a $3,471 thousand expense with respect to a loss before income tax of $22,721 thousand. The effective tax rate differs from the nominal tax rate mainly due to unrecognized tax loss carryforwards in UK entities, provisions for potential tax contingencies and permanent tax differences in some jurisdictions.

Note 19. - Financial expense, net

Financial income and expenses

The following table sets forth financial income and expenses for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020:

Interest rates losses on derivatives: cash flow hedges		(30,642	)		(38,592	)
Total		(189,524	)		(210,113	)

Interest from other debts is primarily interest on the notes issued by ATS, ATN, Solaben Luxembourg, Hypesol Solar Inversiones (the company financing the Helios projects) and Atlantica Sustainable Infrastructure Jersey. The decrease in the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 is primarily due to the acquisition of Liberty’s equity interest in Solana in August 2020, which was accounted for as a liability in these Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements, in accordance with IAS 32.

Losses from interest rate derivatives designated as cash flow hedges primarily correspond to transfers from equity to financial expense when the hedged item impacts the consolidated income statement.

Net exchange differences

Net exchange differences primarily correspond to realized and unrealized exchange gains and losses on transactions in foreign currencies as part of the normal course of business of the Company.

Other financial income and expenses

The following table sets out Other financial income and expenses for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021, and 2020:

Other financial income		21,434			11,468
Other financial losses		(8,133	)		(8,649	)
Total		13,301			2,819

Other financial income in the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, includes a $5.7 million income for non-monetary change to the fair value of derivatives of Kaxu for which hedge accounting is not applied, and $8 million income further to the change in the fair value of the conversion option of the Green Exchangeable Notes since December 2020 (Note 14). Residual items are primarily interests on deposits and loans, including non-monetary changes to the amortized cost of such loans.

Other financial losses include guarantees and letters of credit, other bank fees, non-monetary changes to the fair value of derivatives for which hedge accounting is not applied and of financial instruments recorded at fair value through profit and loss, and other minor financial expenses.

Note 20.- Other operating income and expenses

The increase in Other operating expenses in 2021 is primarily due to the business combinations made effective during the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 (Note 5).

Note 21. - Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share have been calculated by dividing the loss attributable to equity holders by the average number of outstanding shares.

Diluted earnings per share for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 have been calculated considering the potential issuance of 3,347,305 shares on the settlement of the Green Exchangeable Notes (Note 14).

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis should be read together with, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, our Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements and our Annual Consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB and other disclosures including the disclosures under “Part II. Item 1A. Risk Factors” and “Item 3.D – Risk Factors” in our Annual Report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs, which are based on assumptions we believe to be reasonable. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in such forward-looking statements. The results shown here are not necessarily indicative of the results expected in any future period. Please see our Annual Report for additional discussion of various factors affecting our results of operations.

Overview

We are a sustainable infrastructure company with a majority of our business in renewable energy assets. In 2020, our renewable sector represented approximately 74% of our revenue, with solar energy representing approximately 70%. We complement our renewable assets portfolio with storage, efficient natural gas and heat and transmission infrastructure assets, as enablers of the transition towards a clean energy mix. We are also present in water infrastructure assets, a sector at the core of sustainable development. Our purpose is to support the transition towards a more sustainable world by investing in and managing sustainable infrastructure, while creating long-term value for our investors and the rest of our stakeholders.

As of the date of this quarterly report, we own or have an interest in a portfolio of diversified assets, both in terms of business sector and geographic footprint. Our portfolio consists of 34 assets with 2,018 MW of aggregate renewable energy installed generation capacity (of which approximately 71% is solar), 343 MW of efficient natural gas-fired power generation capacity, 55MWt of district heating capacity, 1,166 miles of transmission lines and 17.5 M ft³ per day of water desalination.

We currently own and manage operating facilities in North America (United States, Canada and Mexico), South America (Peru, Chile, and Uruguay) and EMEA (Spain, Algeria and South Africa). We intend to expand our portfolio, while maintaining North America, South America and Europe as our core geographies.

Our assets generally have contracted revenue (regulated revenue in the case of our Spanish assets and one transmission line in Chile). We focus on long-life facilities, as well as long-term agreements that we expect to produce stable, long-term cash flows. As of June 30, 2021, our assets had a weighted average remaining contract life of approximately 16 years. Most of the assets we own, or which we hold an interest in, have project-finance agreements in place. We intend to grow our cash available for distribution and our dividend to shareholders through organic growth and by investing in new assets and/or businesses where revenue may not be fully contracted.

We believe we can achieve organic growth through the optimization of the existing portfolio, escalation factors at many of our assets and the expansion of current assets, particularly our transmission lines, to which new assets can be connected. Additionally, we should have repowering opportunities in certain existing renewable energy assets.

Additionally, we expect to acquire assets from third parties leveraging the local presence and network we have in geographies and sectors in which we operate. We have also entered into and intend to enter into agreements or partnerships with developers and asset owners to acquire assets. We also invest directly and through investment vehicles with partners in assets under development or construction.

Table of Contents

We have signed a ROFO agreement with AAGES, a joint venture designed to invest in the development and construction of contracted clean energy and contracted water infrastructure assets, created by Algonquin, a North American diversified generation, transmission and distribution utility company that owns a 44.2% stake in our capital stock.

With this business model, our objective is to pay a consistent and growing cash dividend to shareholders that is sustainable on a long-term basis. We expect to distribute a significant percentage of our cash available for distribution as cash dividends and we will seek to increase such cash dividends over time through organic growth and through the acquisition of assets. Pursuant to our cash dividend policy, we intend to pay a cash dividend each quarter to holders of our shares.

Recent Acquisitions

In January 2019, we entered into an agreement for the acquisition of Tenes, a water desalination plant. Closing of the acquisition was subject to certain conditions precedent, which were not fulfilled. In accordance with the terms of the share purchase agreement, the advance payment made for the acquisition was converted into a secured loan to be reimbursed by Befesa Agua Tenes, together with 12% per annum interest, through a full cash-sweep of all the dividends to be received from the asset. On May 31, 2020, we entered into a new agreement, which provides us with certain additional decision rights and a majority at the board of directors of Befesa Agua Tenes. Therefore, we concluded that we have had control over Tenes since May 31, 2020 and as a result we have fully consolidated the asset from that date.

On April 3, 2020 we made an investment in the creation of a renewable energy platform in Chile, together with financial partners, in which we now own approximately a 35% stake and have a strategic investor role. The first investment was the acquisition of a 55 MW solar PV plant in April 2020 (Chile PV 1). Our initial contribution was approximately $4 million. On January 6, 2021 we closed our second investment through the platform with the acquisition of Chile PV 2, a 40 MW PV plant. This asset started commercial operation in 2017 and its revenue is partially contracted. The total equity investment in this new asset was approximately $5.0 million. We have concluded that we have control over these assets, and we have been fully consolidating them since their respective acquisition dates. The platform intends to make further investments in renewable energy in Chile and to sign PPAs with creditworthy off-takers.

On August 17, 2020 we closed the acquisition of the Liberty Ownership Interest in Solana. Liberty was the tax equity investor in Solana. The total equity investment is expected to be up to $285 million, including earn out, of which $272 million has already been paid. The total price includes a deferred payment and a performance earn-out based on the average annual net production of the asset in the four calendar years with the highest annual net production during the five calendar years of 2020 to 2024.

In December 2020 we reached an agreement with Algonquin to acquire La Sierpe, a 20 MW solar asset in Colombia for a total equity investment of approximately $20 million. Closing is expected to occur after the asset reaches commercial operation, currently expected to occur in the third quarter of 2021. Closing is subject to conditions precedent and regulatory approvals. Additionally, we agreed to invest in additional solar plants in Colombia with a combined capacity of approximately 30 MW.

In January 2021 we closed the acquisition of a 42.5% equity interest in Rioglass, a supplier of spare parts and services in the solar industry, increasing our equity interest to 57.5%. In addition, on July 22, 2021 we exercised the option to acquire the remaining 42.5% equity interest in Rioglass. The total investment made in 2021 to acquire the additional 85% equity interest, resulting in a 100% ownership, has been approximately $17.1 million. We have fully consolidated Rioglass in our EMEA and Renewables segments.

In April, 2021, we closed the acquisition of Coso, a 135 MW renewable asset in California. Coso is the third largest geothermal plant in the United States and provides base load renewable energy to the California Independent System Operator (California ISO). It has PPAs signed with three investment grade off-takers, with a 19-year average contract life. The total equity investment was approximately $130 million. In addition, on July 15, 2021, as previously announced, we paid an additional amount of $40 million to reduce project debt.

In May 2021 we closed the acquisition of Calgary District Heating, a district heating asset in Canada, for a total equity investment of approximately $22.5 million. The asset has availability-based revenue with inflation indexation and 20 years of weighted average contract life. Contracted capacity and volume payments represent approximately 80% of the total revenue.

On June 16, 2021 we closed the acquisition of a 49% interest in a 596 MW wind portfolio in the U.S. for a total equity investment of $198.3 million. EDP Renewables owns the remaining 51%. The assets have PPAs with investment grade off-takers with a five-year average remaining contract life. The portfolio has no debt as of today and we may raise some non-recourse project debt in the future.

In October 2018, we reached an agreement to acquire PTS, a natural gas transportation platform located in Mexico. We initially acquired a 5% stake in the project and had an agreement to acquire an additional 65% stake subject to the asset entering into commercial operation, non-recourse project financing being closed and final approvals and other conditions. Given that the project financing did not close, in June 2021, we reached an agreement with our partner to sell our 5% ownership in the project at cost. There are no other costs or liabilities related to this investment.

Recent Developments

On July 30, 2021, our board of directors approved a dividend of $0.43 per share. The dividend is expected to be paid on September 15, 2021, to shareholders of record as of August 31, 2021.

Potential implications of Abengoa developments

Abengoa, which is currently our largest supplier and used to be our largest shareholder, went through a restructuring process which started in November 2015 and ended in March 2017, and obtained approval for a second restructuring in July 2019. On August 18, 2020 Abengoa filed pre-insolvency proceedings in Spain for the individual company Abengoa, S.A. (the holding company). On February 22, 2021, Abengoa, S.A. filed for insolvency proceedings. Based on the public information filed in connection with these proceedings, such insolvency proceedings do not include other Abengoa companies, such as Abenewco1, S.A., the controlling company of the subsidiaries performing the operation and maintenance services for us.

The project financing arrangement for Kaxu contains cross-default provisions related to Abengoa. A debt default by Abengoa, subject to certain threshold amounts and/or a restructuring process, could trigger a default under the Kaxu project financing arrangement. In March 2017, Atlantica obtained a waiver with respect to its Kaxu project financing arrangement, which waives any potential cross-defaults by Abengoa up to that date, but the waiver did not cover potential future cross-default events. The insolvency filing by the individual company Abengoa S.A. in February 2021 represents a theoretical event of default under the Kaxu project finance agreement for which we do not yet have a waiver. Although we do not expect the Kaxu project debt lenders to accelerate the debt or take any other action, a cross-default scenario, if not cured or waived, may entitle lenders to demand repayment, limit distributions from the asset or enforce on their security interests, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. We are negotiating a waiver from the creditors and/or contractual modifications to permanently remove the cross-default provision.

Table of Contents

In addition, the insolvency filing by the individual company Abengoa, S.A. on February 22, 2021 may cause an insolvency filing of Abenewco1, S.A., the controlling company of the subsidiaries performing the operation and maintenance services, or insolvency filings of subsidiaries of Abenewco1, S.A. A deterioration in the financial position of Abengoa and of certain of its subsidiaries may result in a material adverse effect on certain of our operation and maintenance agreements. Abengoa and its subsidiaries provide operation and maintenance services for some of our assets. We cannot guarantee that Abengoa and/or its subcontractors will be able to continue performing with the same level of service (or at all) and under the same terms and conditions, and at the same prices. Because we have long-term operation and maintenance agreements with Abengoa for many of our assets, if Abengoa cannot continue performing current services at the same prices, we may need to renegotiate contracts and pay higher prices or change the scope of the contracts. For our assets in EMEA, where Abengoa provides most of the operation and maintenance services, we may need to change the operation and maintenance supplier, or we may need to internalize part of these services in the upcoming months. This could also cause us to change suppliers or to pay higher prices or change the level of services. This may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

The insolvency filing by Abengoa S.A. in February 2021, the potential insolvency filing by Abenewco1, S.A. (or any of its subsidiaries), a deterioration in the financial situation of Abengoa or the implementation of a new viability plan may also result in a material adverse effect on Abengoa’s and its subsidiaries’ obligations, warranties and guarantees, and indemnities covering, for example, potential tax liabilities for assets acquired from Abengoa, or any other agreement. In addition, Abengoa has represented that we would not be a guarantor of any obligation of Abengoa with respect to third parties. Abengoa agreed to indemnify us for any penalty claimed by third parties resulting from any breach in Abengoa’s representations. Certain of these indemnities and obligations are no longer valid after the insolvency filing by Abengoa, S.A. in February 2021. A potential insolvency of Abenewco1, S.A. may also terminate the remaining obligations, indemnities and guarantees. In addition, in Mexico, Abengoa was the owner of a plant that shares certain infrastructure and has certain back-to-back obligations with ACT which may result in a material adverse effect on ACT and on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. According to public information, this plant is currently controlled by a third party. We refer to “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Relationship with Algonquin and Abengoa” in our Annual Report for further discussion of potential implications of the Abengoa situation.

Factors Affecting the Comparability of Our Results of Operations

Acquisitions and Non-recurrent Projects

The results of operations of Chile PV 1 and Tenes have been fully consolidated since April and May 2020, respectively. Tenes was recorded under the equity-method from January 2019 to May 2020, at which point we then gained control over the asset and started to fully consolidate it. The results of operations of Chile PV 2, Coso and Calgary District Heating have been fully consolidated since January, April and May 2021, respectively. Vento II has been recorded under the equity method since June 15, 2021.

In addition, the results of operations of Rioglass have been fully consolidated since January 2021. In the first half of 2021, most of Rioglass operating results relate to a specific solar project which is expected to end in 2021, and which represented $58.0 million in revenue and $1.1 million in Adjusted EBITDA, included in our EMEA and Renewable energy segments for the first half of 2021 and which are non-recurrent.

Table of Contents

Impairment

IFRS 9 requires impairment provisions to be based on expected credit losses on financial assets rather than on actual credit losses. For the first half of 2021 we recorded a reversal of the expected credit loss impairment provision at ACT for $19.4 million following an improvement of its client’s credit risk metrics in the line “Depreciation, amortization, and impairment charges”. We recorded an expected credit loss impairment provision for $35.7 million for the first half of 2020.

Change in the useful life of the solar plants in Spain

In September 2020, following a thorough analysis of recent developments in the Energy and Climate Policy Framework adopted by Spain in 2020, we decided to reduce the useful life of the solar plants in Spain from 35 years to 25 years after COD, effective from September 1, 2020. This change in the estimated useful life was accounted for as a change in accounting estimates in accordance with IAS 8, Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors. As a result, we recorded an approximately $33.9 million increase in “Depreciation and amortization and impairment charges” in the first half of 2021 compared with the same period of the previous year.

Significant Trends Affecting Our Results of Operations

Solar, wind and geothermal resources

The availability of solar, wind and geothermal resources affects the financial performance of our renewable assets, which may impact our overall financial performance. Due to the variable nature of solar, wind and geothermal resources, we cannot predict future availabilities or potential variances from expected performance levels from quarter to quarter. Based on the extent to which the solar, wind and geothermal resources are not available at expected levels, this could have a negative impact on our results of operations.

Capital markets conditions

The capital markets in general are subject to volatility that is unrelated to the operating performance of companies. Our growth strategy depends on our ability to close acquisitions, which often requires access to debt and equity financing to complete these acquisitions. Fluctuations in capital markets may affect our ability to access this capital through debt or equity financings.

Exchange rates

Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar, as most of our revenue and expenses are denominated or linked to U.S. dollars. All our companies located in North America and most of our companies in South America have their revenue and financing contracts signed in, or indexed totally or partially to, U.S. dollars, with the exception of Calgary, with revenue in Canadian dollars. Our solar power plants in Spain have their revenue and expenses denominated in euros, and Kaxu, our solar plant in South Africa, has its revenue and expenses denominated in South African rand. Project financing is typically denominated in the same currency as that of the contracted revenue agreement. This policy seeks to ensure that the main revenue and expenses streams in foreign companies are denominated in the same currency, limiting our risk of foreign exchange differences in our financial results.

Our strategy is to hedge cash distributions from our Spanish assets. We hedge the exchange rate for the distributions from our Spanish assets after deducting euro-denominated interest payments and euro-denominated general and administrative expenses. Through currency options, we have hedged 100% of our euro-denominated net exposure for the next 12 months and 75% of our euro-denominated net exposure for the following 12 months. We expect to continue with this hedging strategy on a rolling basis.

Table of Contents

Although we hedge cash-flows in euros, fluctuations in the value of the euro in relation to the U.S. dollar may affect our operating results. For example, revenue in euro-denominated companies could decrease when translated to U.S. dollar at the average foreign exchange rate solely due to a decrease in the average foreign exchange rate, in spite of revenue in the original currency being stable. Apart from the impact of these translation differences, the exposure of our income statement to fluctuations of foreign currencies is limited, as the financing of projects is typically denominated in the same currency as that of the contracted revenue agreement.

In our discussion of operating results, we have included foreign exchange impacts in our revenue by providing constant currency revenue growth. The constant currency presentation is not a measure recognized under IFRS and excludes the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We believe providing constant currency information provides valuable supplemental information regarding our results of operations. We calculate constant currency amounts by converting our current period local currency revenue using the prior period foreign currency average exchange rates and comparing these adjusted amounts to our prior period reported results. This calculation may differ from similarly titled measures used by others and, accordingly, the constant currency presentation is not meant to substitute recorded amounts presented in conformity with IFRS as issued by the IASB, nor should such amounts be considered in isolation.

Impacts associated with fluctuations in foreign currency are discussed in more detail under “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk—Foreign exchange risk”. Fluctuations in the value of the South African rand in relation to the U.S. dollar may also affect our operating results.

Interest rates

We incur significant indebtedness at the corporate and asset level. The interest rate risk arises mainly from indebtedness at variable interest rates. To mitigate interest rate risk, we primarily use long-term interest rate swaps and interest rate options which, in exchange for a fee, offer protection against a rise in interest rates. As of December 31, 2020, approximately 92% of our project debt and close to 100% of our corporate debt either has fixed interest rates or has been hedged with swaps or caps. Nevertheless, our results of operations can be affected by changes in interest rates with respect to the unhedged portion of our indebtedness that bears interest at floating rates, which typically bear a spread over EURIBOR or LIBOR.

Key Financial Measures

We regularly review a number of financial measurements and operating metrics to evaluate our performance, measure our growth and make strategic decisions. In addition to traditional IFRS performance measures, such as total revenue, we also consider Adjusted EBITDA. Our management believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors and other users of our financial statements in evaluating our operating performance because it provides them with additional tools to compare business performance across companies and across periods. EBITDA is widely used by investors to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items such as interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods and book value of assets, capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDA is widely used by other companies in our industry.

Note:—

(1)

Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as profit/(loss) for the period attributable to the parent company, after adding back loss/(profit) attributable to non-controlling interests, income tax, share of profit/(loss) of associates carried under the equity method, finance expense net, depreciation, amortization and impairment charges of entities included in our financial statements. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of performance under IFRS as issued by the IASB, and you should not consider Adjusted EBITDA as an alternative to operating income or profits or as a measure of our operating performance, cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities or as a measure of our ability to meet our cash needs or any other measures of performance under generally accepted accounting principles. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful indicator of our ability to incur and service our indebtedness and can assist securities analysts, investors and other parties to evaluate us. Adjusted EBITDA and similar measures are used by different companies for different purposes and are often calculated in ways that reflect the circumstances of those companies. Adjusted EBITDA may not be indicative of our historical operating results, nor is it meant to be predictive of potential future results. See “Item 2— Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Key Financial Measures.”

(2)	Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA for each geography and business sector divided by revenue for each geography and business sector.

Operational Metrics

In addition to the factors described above, we closely monitor the following key drivers of our business sectors’ performance to plan for our needs, and to adjust our expectations, financial budgets and forecasts appropriately.

●

MW in operation in the case of Renewable energy and Efficient natural gas & heat assets, miles in operation in the case of Transmission and Mft3 per day in operation in the case of Water assets, are the indicators which provide information about the installed capacity or size of our portfolio of assets.

●	Production measured in GWh in our Renewable energy and efficient natural gas & heat assets provides information about the performance of these assets.

●

Availability in the case of our efficient natural gas & heat assets, Transmission and Water assets also provides information on the performance of the assets. In these business segments revenues are based on availability, which is the time during which the asset was available to our client totally or partially divided by contracted availability or budgeted availability, as applicable.

(3)	Includes 43MW corresponding to our 30% share of Monterrey and 55 MWt corresponding to thermal capacity for Calgary District Heating.

(4)	GWh produced includes 30% of the production from Monterrey.

Production in the renewable business sector increased by 33.9% in the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, compared to the same period of the previous year. The increase was mainly driven by the contribution from the recently acquired renewable assets Coso, Chile PV 1, Chile PV 2 and Vento II, bringing approximately 393 GWh of additional electricity generation. Production also increased at Kaxu due to the unscheduled outage that affected part of the first half of 2020, largely covered by insurance, as well as in Spain and in North America mainly due to better solar radiation. This increase in production was offset by a decrease in production of 6.5% in our wind assets in South America due to lower wind resource.

Efficient natural gas & heat production was lower in the first half of 2021 compared to the same period from 2020 due to lower production at ACT, mainly due to lower demand from our off-taker. This did not affect our revenue as the contract is based on availability.

In Water, the decrease in availability was largely due to the installation of some new safety-related equipment at Tenes during the first quarter of 2021. Our transmission lines, where revenue is also based on availability, continue to achieve high availability levels.

Comparison of the Six-Month Periods Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

The significant variances or variances of the significant components of the results of operations are discussed in the following section.

Revenue

Revenue increased by 31.2% to $611.2 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, compared to $465.7 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020. On a constant currency basis, revenue for the first half 2021 was $586.5 million, representing an increase of 26% compared to the first half of 2020. On a constant currency basis and excluding the Rioglass non-recurrent solar project previously described, revenue for the first half 2021 was $528.5 million, representing an increase of 13.5% compared to the first half of 2020. The increase in revenue was primarily due to the contribution of the recently acquired assets Coso, Calgary, Chile PV1 and Chile PV2, as well as Tenes, which we started to fully consolidate beginning in May 2020. Revenue was also higher at Kaxu, where an unscheduled outage affected production in part of the first half of 2020. Damage and business interruption were covered by our insurance, however insurance proceeds were recorded in “Other operating income”. In addition, revenue increased at ACT mainly due to higher revenue in the portion of the tariff related to operation and maintenance services, driven by higher operation and maintenance costs for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period of the previous year. At ACT, operation and maintenance costs are higher in the quarters preceding any major maintenance, the next of which is scheduled for the end of 2021. Additionally, revenue increased at our solar assets in Spain and North America, mainly due to higher solar radiation in the first half of 2021 compared to the same period of the previous year. These effects were partially offset by a decrease in revenue from our wind assets in South America, largely caused by lower wind resource.

Other operating income

The following table sets forth our other operating income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 and 2020:

	Six-month period ended June 30,
Other operating income	2021		2020
	($ in millions)
Grants	$	29.6	$	29.5
Insurance proceeds and other		10.7		27.7
Total	$	40.3	$	57.2

In the first half of 2020, we recorded a $13.7 million income corresponding to compensation received from our insurance company for the Kaxu project and $6.6 million in insurance income received at Solana and Mojave. In the first half of 2021, Insurance proceeds and other mainly corresponded to $6.8 million in profit resulting from the purchase of a long-term operation and maintenance account payable at a discounted price, compared to a $2.5 million in profit in the first half of 2020.

“Grants” represent the financial support provided by the U.S. government to Solana and Mojave and consist of an ITC Cash Grant and an implicit grant in relation to the below market interest rates of the project loans with the Federal Financing Bank. Grants were stable in the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period in the previous year.

Employee benefit expenses

Employee benefit expenses increased to $39.0 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, compared to $24.3 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020. The increase was mainly due to the consolidation of Coso and Rioglass.

Depreciation, amortization and impairment charges

Depreciation, amortization and impairment charges decreased by $5.1 million to $188.9 million for the first six-month period ended June 30, 2021, compared to $194.0 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020.

The decrease was mainly due to a reversal of the expected credit loss impairment provision at ACT. IFRS 9 requires impairment provisions to be based on the expected credit loss of the financial assets in addition to actual credit losses. ACT recorded a reversal of the expected credit loss impairment provision of $19.4 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, while in the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 there was an increase of $35.7 million in the expected credit loss impairment provision. This effect was partially offset by an increase of depreciation and amortization at our solar assets in Spain. In September 2020 we reduced the useful life of our Spanish solar assets from 35 to 25 years after COD, which increased our depreciation and amortization charges for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 by approximately $33.9 million compared to the same period in the previous year. Depreciation and amortization also increased due to the impact of foreign exchange translation differences for approximately $10.7 million and due to the consolidation of the assets recently acquired.

Other operating expenses

The following table sets forth our other operating expenses for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 and 2020:

	Six-month period ended June 30,
Other operating expenses	2021					2020
	$ in millions		% of revenue			$ in millions		% of revenue

Raw materials		44.8		7.3	%		4.2		0.9	%
Total	$	215.8		35.3	%	$	126.1		27.1	%

Other operating expenses increased by 71.1% to $215.8 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, compared to $126.1 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020, mainly due to higher raw material costs corresponding to the aforementioned Rioglass non-recurrent solar project.

Other operating expenses also increased due to higher operation and maintenance costs at our solar assets in North America primarily due to of the major maintenance works carried out in the first quarter of 2021 at one of the Mojave turbines and to some equipment replacement. Operation and maintenance costs also increased at ACT as costs are higher at this asset in the quarters prior to the major overhaul, which is scheduled to be performed at the end of 2021. Other operating expenses also increased due to the contribution of the recently consolidated assets Coso, Calgary, Chile PV1, Chile PV2, Tenes and Rioglass.

Operating profit

As a result of the above factors, operating profit for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 increased by 16.4% to $207.8 million, compared to $178.5 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020.

Financial income

Financial income decreased to $1.2 million for the first six-month period ended June 30, 2021 compared to $5.7 million for the same period of the previous year. In the first half of 2020, financial income included $3.8 million non-cash income resulting from the refinancing of the Cadonal project debt.

Financial expense

The following table sets forth our financial expense for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 and 2020:

	Six-month period ended June 30,
Financial expense	2021			2020
	($ in millions)
Interest expense:
—Loans from credit entities	$	(128.8	)	$	(132.2	)
—Other debts		(30.0	)		(39.3	)
Interest rates losses derivatives: cash flow hedges		(30.6	)		(38.6	)
Total	$	(189.5	)	$	(210.1	)

Financial expense decreased by 9.8% to $189.5 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 compared to $210.1 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020.

Interest on “Loans from credit entities” decreased mainly due to the refinancing of Helios 1&2 in 2020, solar assets located in Spain, as interest accrued for these assets is now classified in “Other debts”. The decrease was also due to a decrease in interest in loans indexed to LIBOR, JIBAR and EURIBOR, since the expected reference rates were lower in the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period in the previous year. In addition, the first half of 2020 included costs and expenses related to the prepayment of the Note Issuance Facility 2017.

Table of Contents

Interest on “Other debts” mainly corresponds to interest expense on the notes issued by ATS, ATN, Solaben Luxembourg, Helios, interest on the Green Exchangeable Notes and interest related to Liberty’s tax equity investment in Solana until August 2020. The decrease was mainly caused by the acquisition of Liberty’s equity interest in Solana in August 2020. From an accounting perspective, Liberty’s equity investment in Solana was recorded as a liability with interest accruing in Interest on other debt.

Interest rate losses on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges correspond primarily to transfers from equity to financial expense when the hedged item impacts profit and loss. The decrease was mainly due to lower losses from the Helios swap, which was canceled after the Helios project debt was refinanced in 2020 with a new fixed rate financing. The decrease was also due to an accounting reclassification of the swap hedging the loan from Kaxu. From an accounting perspective such derivative does not qualify as a cash flow hedge and since September 2020, it is recorded at fair value with an impact on “Other financial income/(expense)”. This decrease was partially offset by an increase of losses, mainly driven by an increase in swaps hedging loans indexed to LIBOR, as a result of lower than expected reference rates.

Other financial income/(expense), net

	Six-month period ended June 30,
Other financial income /(expense), net	2021			2020
	($ in millions)
Other financial income	$	21.4		$	11.4

Other financial income/(expense), net increased to $13.3 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, compared to a $2.8 million in the same period of the previous year. The increase in “Other financial income” was mainly due to an increase in the fair value of our interest rate swap at Kaxu, resulting from an increase in expected interest rates. Although the objective of this swap is to hedge a loan indexed to variable interest rate, from an accounting perspective the derivative does not qualify as a cash flow hedge and it is recorded at fair value with an impact on Other financial income/(expense). “Other financial income” also includes $8.0 million income from the mark-to-market of the derivative liability embedded in the Green Exchangeable Notes. Other financial expense includes expenses for guarantees and letters of credit, wire transfers, other bank fees and other minor financial expenses.

Share of profit/(loss) of associates carried under the equity method

Share of profit of associates carried under the equity method increased to $2.6 million profit in the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 compared to $1.6 loss for six-month period ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to a lower loss in Monterrey and higher profit in Honaine.

Profit/(loss) before income tax

As a result of the factors mentioned above, we reported a profit before income tax of $37.6 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, compared to a loss before income tax of $22.7 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020.

Income tax

The effective tax rate for the periods presented has been established based on management’s best estimates. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, income tax amounted to an expense of $33.1 million, with a profit before income tax of $37.6 million. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2020, income tax amounted to an expense of $3.5 million, with a loss before income tax of $22.7 million. The effective tax rate differs from the nominal tax rate mainly due to unrecognized tax loss carryforwards in UK entities, provisions for potential tax contingencies and permanent tax differences in some jurisdictions.

Profit attributable to non-controlling interests

Profit attributable to non-controlling interests was $11.3 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 compared to a profit of $2.0 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020. Profit attributable to non-controlling interests corresponds to the portion attributable to our partners in the assets that we consolidate (Kaxu, Skikda, Solaben 2 & 3, Solacor 1 & 2, Seville PV, Chile PV 1, Chile PV 2 and Tenes). The increase is due to higher profits at Kaxu and to the consolidation of Tenes since the second quarter of 2020.

Loss/(profit) attributable to the parent company

As a result of the factors mentioned above, loss attributable to the parent company amounted to $6.8 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, compared to a loss of $28.2 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020.

Segment Reporting

We organize our business into the following three geographies where the contracted assets and concessions are located: North America, South America and EMEA. We have also identified four business sectors based on type of activity: Renewable energy, Efficient natural gas & heat, Transmission lines and Water. Our Renewable energy sector includes renewable energy production activities and since January 1, 2021, Rioglass activities. Rioglass is a supplier of spare parts and services to the solar industry. We report our results in accordance with both criteria. Our Efficient natural gas & heat segment has been renamed to include Calgary District Heating which has been consolidated since its acquisition in May 2021.

North America

Revenue increased by 13.2% to $178.8 million for the first half of 2021, compared to $157.9 million for the first half of 2020. The increase was mainly due to the contributions from the recently acquired assets, Coso and Calgary. Revenue also increased due to an increase in revenue at ACT due to higher revenue in the portion of the tariff related to operation and maintenance services, driven by higher operation and maintenance costs for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021. Revenue at our solar assets in North America also increased mainly due to higher solar radiation during the period.

Table of Contents

Adjusted EBITDA decreased by 5.5% to $131.6 million for the first half of 2021, compared to $139.3 million for the same period of 2020. Adjusted EBITDA decreased at our solar assets in North America mainly due to insurance income received in the first half of 2020 amounting to approximately $6.6 million and higher operation and maintenance expenses in the first half of 2021, resulting primarily from the major maintenance works performed in the first half of 2021 at one of the Mojave turbines, as well as some equipment replacement. Adjusted EBITDA also decreased at ACT mainly due to higher operating and maintenance expenses for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021. At ACT, operation and maintenance costs are higher in the quarters preceding any major maintenance works, the next of which is scheduled at the end of 2021. Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased to 73.6% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, compared to 88.2% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020, mainly due to the events described above in relation to revenue and Adjusted EBITDA in North America.

South America

Revenue increased by 4.5% to $78.4 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, compared to $75.0 million for the same period of the previous year and Adjusted EBITDA remained largely stable at $60.2 million for the first six-month period ended June 30, 2021, compared to $59.8 million for the same period of 2020. The increase in revenue was primarily due to the contribution of Chile PV1 and Chile PV2. Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased to 76.8% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, compared to 79.7% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 mainly due to an accounting adjustment in Quadra 1&2, as these assets are recorded under IFRIC 12- financial model.

EMEA

Revenue increased by 52.1% to $354.0 million for the first half of 2021, compared to $232.8 million for the same period of 2020. On a constant currency basis, revenue for the first half 2021 was $329.4 million which represents an increase of 41.5% compared to the first half of 2020. On a constant currency basis and excluding the aforementioned Rioglass non-recurrent solar project, revenue for the first half 2021 was $271.4 million which represents an increase of 16.6% compared to the first half of 2020. The increase was primarily due to higher revenue at Kaxu, where an unscheduled outage affected production in part of the first quarter of 2020. Damage and business interruption were covered by our insurance, however insurance proceeds were recorded in “Other operating income”. Revenue also increased due to the contribution from Tenes, fully consolidated since the second quarter of 2020 and to higher revenue in Spain, where solar radiation was higher than in the same period of the previous year.

Adjusted EBITDA increased by 18.0% to $204.8 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 compared to $173.5 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020. On a constant currency basis, Adjusted EBITDA for the first half 2021 was $187.5 million which represents an increase of 8.1% compared to the first half of 2020. On a constant currency basis and excluding the aforementioned Rioglass non-recurrent solar project, Adjusted EBITDA for the first half 2021 was $186.4 million which represents an increase of 7.4% compared to the first half of 2020. The increase was mainly due to the contribution from Tenes and higher Adjusted EBITDA in Spain, resulting from higher revenue. Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased to 57.9% for the first half of 2021 compared to 74.5% for first half of 2020 mainly due to lower margin at the Rioglass non-recurrent solar project and higher than usual Adjusted EBITDA margin in Kaxu in the first half of 2020 due to insurance proceeds recorded in “Other Operating Income” and lower Adjusted EBITDA margins at some of the assets recently acquired.

Renewable energy

Revenue increased by 36.8% to $471.6 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, compared to $344.7 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020. On a constant currency basis, revenue for the first half 2021 was $447.0 million which represents an increase of 29.7% compared to the first half of 2020. On a constant currency basis and excluding the aforementioned Rioglass non-recurrent solar project, revenue for the first half 2021 was $389.0 million which represents an increase of 12.9% compared to the first half of 2020. The increase was primarily due to the contribution from the recently acquired assets Coso, Chile PV1 and Chile PV2. Revenue also increased due to higher revenue at Kaxu as explained above. Revenue also increased in Spain and in our solar assets in North America largely due to higher solar radiation in the first half of 2021.

Adjusted EBITDA increased by 6.8% to $293.6 million for the first half of 2021, compared to $274.8 million for the first half of 2020. On a constant currency basis, Adjusted EBITDA for the first half 2021 was $276.2 million, stable when compared to the same period of the previous year. On a constant currency basis and excluding the aforementioned Rioglass non-recurrent solar project, Adjusted EBITDA for the first half 2021 was $275.2 million, stable when compared to the same period of the previous year. Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased to 62.3% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 from 79.7% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 mainly due to lower margin at the non-recurrent one-off project previously described, higher than usual Adjusted EBITDA margin at Kaxu in the first half of 2020 due to insurance proceeds recorded in “Other Operating Income” and lower Adjusted EBITDA margins at some of the recently acquired assets.

Efficient natural gas & heat

Revenue increased by 12.5% to $58.5 million for the first six-month period ended June 30, 2021, compared to $52.0 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020, while Adjusted EBITDA decreased by 1.3% to $45.3 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, compared to $45.9 million in the same period of the previous year. At ACT, operation and maintenance costs are higher in the quarters preceding any major maintenance works, the next of which is scheduled at the end of 2021. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased due to these higher operation and maintenance costs. Revenue increased due to higher operation and maintenance costs, since there is a portion of revenue related to operation and maintenance services plus a margin. Revenue also increased due to the contribution from the recently acquired district heating asset, Calgary.

Revenue remained stable at $53.6 million in the first six-month period ended June 30, 2021, compared to $53.4 million in the first six-month period ended June 30, 2020. Adjusted EBITDA decreased by 1.6% to $42.5 million in the first six-month period ended June 30, 2021 compared to $43.2 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 mainly due to an accounting adjustment in Quadra 1&2, as these assets are recorded under IFRIC 12 financial model, which is also the main reason for the decrease in Adjusted EBITDA margin.

Water

Revenue increased to $27.5 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, compared to $15.6 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020. Adjusted EBITDA increased to $15.2 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, compared to $8.7 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020. The increases were mainly due to the contribution from Tenes, which we started to consolidate in the second quarter of 2020. Adjusted EBITDA margin was stable compared to the same period of the previous year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal liquidity and capital requirements consist of the following:

●	debt service requirements on our existing and future debt;

●	cash dividends to investors; and

●	investments and acquisitions of new assets, companies and operations.

As a normal part of our business, depending on market conditions, we will from time to time consider opportunities to repay, redeem, repurchase or refinance our indebtedness. Changes in our operating plans, lower than anticipated sales, increased expenses, acquisitions or other events may cause us to seek additional debt or equity financing in future periods. There can be no guarantee that financing will be available on acceptable terms or at all. Debt financing, if available, could impose additional cash payment obligations and additional covenants and operating restrictions. In addition, any of the items discussed in detail under “Item 3.D—Risk Factors” in our Annual Report and other factors may also significantly impact our liquidity.

(2)	Corporate Cash corresponds to cash and cash equivalents held at Atlantica Sustainable Infrastructure plc.

Cash at the project level includes $292.2 million and $279.8 million in restricted cash balances as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 respectively. Restricted cash consists primarily of funds required to meet the requirements of certain project debt arrangements. In the case of Solana, part of the restricted cash is expected to be used for equipment replacements. Restricted cash also includes Kaxu’s cash balance, given that the project financing of this asset is under a theoretical event of default due to the developments at Abengoa (see “Potential Implications of Abengoa developments” above).

As of June 30, 2021, we had no borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and $10 million of letters of credit were outstanding under this facility. In March 2021 we increased the notional amount of this facility from $425 million to $450 million and extended its maturity to December 2023. As a result, as of June 30, 2021 approximately $440 million was available under our Revolving Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2020, we had no borrowings, $10 million of letters of credit were outstanding and approximately $415 million was available under our Revolving Credit Facility.

Management believes that the Company’s liquidity position, cash flows from operations and availability under its revolving credit facility will be adequate to meet the Company’s financial commitments and debt obligations; growth, operating and maintenance capital expenditures; and dividend distributions to shareholders. Management continues to regularly monitor the Company’s ability to finance the needs of its operating, financing and investing activity within the dictates of prudent balance sheet management.

Credit Ratings

Credit rating agencies rate us and certain of our debt securities. These ratings are used by the debt markets to evaluate a firm’s credit risk. Ratings influence the price paid to issue new debt securities, as they indicate to the market our ability to pay principal, interest and dividends.

In March and April 2021 both S&P Global Rating (“S&P”) and Fitch Ratings Inc. (“Fitch”) upgraded Atlantica’s corporate rating to BB+. The following table summarizes our credit ratings as of the date of this quarterly report. Both ratings outlooks are stable.

Sources of liquidity

We expect our ongoing sources of liquidity to include cash on hand, cash generated from our operating activities, project debt arrangements, corporate debt and the issuance of additional equity securities, as appropriate, and based on market conditions. Our financing agreements consist mainly of the project-level financings for our various assets and our corporate debt financings, including our Green Exchangeable Notes, the Note Issuance Facility 2020, the 2020 Green Private Placement, the Green Senior Notes, the Revolving Credit Facility and our commercial paper program.

Green Senior Notes

On May 18, 2021 we issued the Green Senior Notes amounting to an aggregate principal amount of $400 million due in 2028. The Green Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 4.125% per year, payable on June 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing December 15, 2021, and will mature on June 15, 2028.

Table of Contents

The Green Senior Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated May 18, 2021, by and among Atlantica as issuer, Atlantica Peru S.A., ACT Holding, S.A. de C.V., Atlantica Infraestructura Sostenible, S.L.U., Atlantica Investments Limited, Atlantica Newco Limited, Atlantica North America LLC, as guarantors, BNY Mellon Corporate Trustee Services Limited, as trustee, The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, as paying agent, and The Bank of New York Mellon SA/NV, Dublin Branch, as registrar and transfer agent.

Our obligations under the Green Senior Notes rank equal in right of payment with our outstanding obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility, the 2020 Green Private Placement, the Note Issuance Facility 2020 and the Green Exchangeable Notes.

Green Exchangeable Notes

On July 17, 2020, we issued 4.00% Green Exchangeable Notes amounting to an aggregate principal amount of $100 million due in 2025. On July 29, 2020, we issued an additional $15 million aggregate principal amount in Green Exchangeable Notes. The Green Exchangeable Notes are the senior unsecured obligations of Atlantica Jersey, a wholly owned subsidiary of Atlantica, and fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Atlantica on a senior, unsecured basis. The notes mature on July 15, 2025, unless they are repurchased or redeemed earlier by Atlantica or exchanged, and bear interest at a rate of 4.00% per annum.

Noteholders may exchange all or any portion of their notes at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding April 15, 2025, only during certain periods and upon satisfaction of certain conditions. Noteholders may exchange all or any portion of their notes during any calendar quarter if the last reported sale price of Atlantica’s ordinary shares for at least 20 trading days during a period of 30 consecutive trading days, ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than 120% of the exchange price on each applicable trading day. On or after April 15, 2025, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date thereof, noteholders may exchange any of their notes at any time, at the option of the noteholder. Upon exchange, the notes may be settled, at our election, into Atlantica ordinary shares, cash or a combination of both. The initial exchange rate of the notes is 29.1070 ordinary shares per $1,000 of the principal amount of notes (which is equivalent to an initial exchange price of $34.36 per ordinary share). The exchange rate is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events.

Our obligations under the Green Exchangeable Notes rank equal in right of payment with our outstanding obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility, the 2020 Green Private Placement, the Note Issuance Facility 2020 and the Green Senior Notes.

Note Issuance Facility 2020

On July 8, 2020, we entered into the Note Issuance Facility 2020, a senior unsecured euro-denominated financing with a group of funds managed by Westbourne Capital as purchasers of the notes issued thereunder for a total amount of approximately $166 million (€140 million). The notes under the Note Issuance Facility 2020 were issued on August 12, 2020 and are due on August 12, 2027. Interest accrues at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the 3-month EURIBOR plus a margin of 5.25% with a floor of 0% for the EURIBOR. We have entered into a cap at 0% for the EURIBOR with 3.5 years maturity to hedge the variable interest rate risk.

Our obligations under the Note Issuance Facility 2020 rank equal in right of payment with our outstanding obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility, the 2020 Green Private Placement, the Green Exchangeable Notes and the Green Senior Notes. The notes issued under the Note Issuance Facility 2020 are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by our subsidiaries Atlantica Infraestructura Sostenible, S.L.U., Atlantica Peru, S.A., ACT Holding, S.A. de C.V., Atlantica Investments Limited, Atlantica Newco Limited and Atlantica North America LLC.

2020 Green Private Placement

On March 20, 2020 we entered into a senior secured note purchase agreement with a group of institutional investors as purchasers providing for the 2020 Green Private Placement. The transaction closed on April 1, 2020 and we issued notes for a total principal amount of €290 million (approximately $344 million), maturing in June 20, 2026. Interest accrues at a rate per annum equal to 1.96%. If at any time the rating of these senior secured notes is below investment grade, the interest rate thereon would increase by 100 basis points until such notes are again rated investment grade.

Our obligations under the 2020 Green Private Placement rank equal in right of payment with our outstanding obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility, the Note Issuance Facility 2020 and the Green Senior Notes. Our payment obligations under the 2020 Green Private Placement are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by our subsidiaries Atlantica Infraestructura Sostenible, S.L.U., Atlantica Peru, S.A., ACT Holding, S.A. de C.V., Atlantica Investments Limited, Atlantica Newco Limited and Atlantica North America LLC.

Note Issuance Facility 2019

On April 30, 2019, we entered into the Note Issuance Facility 2019, a senior unsecured financing with a group of funds managed by Westbourne Capital as purchasers of the notes issued thereunder for a total amount of €268 million, approximately $318 million. In June 4, 2021 we prepaid the Note Issuance Facility 2019 in full before maturity in accordance with the terms thereof, with the proceeds of the Green Senior Notes.

Revolving Credit Facility

On May 10, 2018, we entered into a $215 million Revolving Credit Facility with a syndicate of banks. The Revolving Credit Facility was increased by $85 million to $300 million on January 25, 2019, and was further increased by $125 million (to a total limit of $425 million) on August 2, 2019. On March 1, 2021, this facility was further increased by $25 million (to a total limit of $450 million) and the maturity date was extended to December 31, 2023. In addition, the lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility have the option to extend the maturity date of all or any portion of their commitments and/or loans for additional consecutive 365 day periods, upon request from us subject to certain conditions. Under the Revolving Credit Facility, we are also able to request the issuance of letters of credit, which are subject to a sublimit of $100 million that are included in the aggregate commitments available under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to: (A) for Eurodollar rate loans, LIBOR plus a percentage determined by reference to our leverage ratio, ranging between 1.60% and 2.25% and (B) for base rate loans, the highest of (i) the rate per annum equal to the weighted average of the rates on overnight U.S. Federal funds transactions with members of the U.S. Federal Reserve System arranged by U.S. federal funds brokers on such day plus 1 /2 of 1.00%, (ii) the prime rate of the administrative agent under the Revolving Credit Facility and (iii) LIBOR plus 1.00%, in any case, plus a percentage determined by reference to our leverage ratio, ranging between 0.60% and 1.00%.

Our obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility rank equal in right of payment with our outstanding obligations under the 2020 Green Private Placement, the Note Issuance Facility 2020, the Green Exchangeable Notes and the Green Senior Notes. Our payment obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by our Atlantica Infraestructura Sostenible, S.L.U., Atlantica Peru, S.A., ACT Holding, S.A. de C.V., Atlantica Investments Limited, Atlantica Newco Limited and Atlantica North America LLC. The Revolving Credit Facility is also secured with a pledge over the shares of the subsidiary guarantors, the collateral of which is shared with the holders of the notes issued under the 2020 Green Private Placement.

Other Credit Lines

In July 2017, we signed a line of credit with a bank for up to €10.0 million (approximately $11.9 million) which was available in euros or U.S. dollars. On June 30, 2021, the maturity was extended to July 1, 2023. Amounts drawn accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the 3-month EURIBOR or LIBOR, plus a margin of 2%, with a floor of 0% for the EURIBOR or LIBOR. As of June 30, 2021, no amounts were drawn under this line of credit.

In December 2020, we also entered into a loan with a local bank for €5 million (approximately $5.9 million). The maturity date is December 4, 2025. The loan accrues interest at a rate per annum equal to 2.50%.

Commercial Paper Program

On October 8, 2019, we filed a euro commercial paper program with the Alternative Fixed Income Market (MARF) in Spain. The program had an original maturity of twelve months and was extended for another twelve-month period on October 8, 2020. The program allows Atlantica to issue short term notes for up to €50 million, with such notes having a tenor of up to two years. As of June 30, 2021, we had €11.5 million (approximately $13.6 million) issued and outstanding under the Commercial Paper Program at an average cost of 0.57%.

At-The-Market Program

On August 3, 2021, we established an “at-the-market program” and entered into a Distribution Agreement with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as sales agent, dated August 3, 2021 under which the Company may offer and sell from time to time up to $150 million of our ordinary shares and pursuant to which J.P. Morgan Securities LLC may sell its common stock by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined by Rule 415(a)(4) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. We intend to use the proceeds from these sales to finance growth opportunities and for general corporate purposes.

Sales of the ordinary shares, if any, may be made in ordinary brokers’ transactions through the NASDAQ Global Select Market or as otherwise agreed between the Company and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC as sales agent, using commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its normal trading and sales practice. The ordinary shares may be sold at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. The ordinary shares to be issued under the “at-the-market program” will be issued pursuant to a prospectus supplement, dated August 3, 2021, in connection with a takedown from our shelf registration statement on Form F-3 filed on August 3, 2021. Such ordinary shares may be offered only by means of such prospectus supplement, forming a part of the effective registration statement.

On August 3, 2021, we entered into an agreement with Algonquin, pursuant to which we will offer Algonquin the right but not the obligation, on a quarterly basis, to purchase a number of ordinary shares to maintain its percentage interest in Atlantica at the average price of the shares sold under the Distribution Agreement in the previous quarter, adjusted for any dividends, distributions, reorganizations or business combinations or similar transactions as if the portion of such shares equivalent to the portion of the shares issued under the ATM prior to the record date had also been issued to Algonquin prior to the record date with respect to such event. In the event that Algonquin exercises such right, subject to certain conditions further described in the ATM Plan Letter Agreement, including that a material adverse effect in relation to the Company shall not have occurred, we and Algonquin will enter into a subscription agreement with a settlement date no earlier than three business days and no later than one hundred and eighty days from Algonquin’s notice that it is subscribing for the ordinary shares.

Uses of liquidity and capital requirements

Cash dividends to investors

We intend to distribute a significant portion of our cash available for distribution to shareholders on an annual basis, less all cash expenses including corporate debt service and corporate general and administrative expenses and less reserves for the prudent conduct of our business (including, among others, dividend shortfall due to fluctuations in our cash flows), on an annual basis. We intend to distribute a quarterly dividend to shareholders. Our board of directors may, by resolution, amend the cash dividend policy at any time. The determination of the amount of the cash dividends to be paid to shareholders will be made by our board of directors and will depend on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, long-term prospects and any other matters that our board of directors deem relevant.

Our cash available for distribution is likely to fluctuate from quarter to quarter and, in some cases, significantly as a result of the seasonality of our assets, the terms of our financing arrangements, maintenance and outage schedules, among other factors. Accordingly, during quarters in which our projects generate cash available for distribution in excess of the amount necessary for us to pay our stated quarterly dividend, we may reserve a portion of the excess to fund cash distributions in future quarters. During quarters in which we do not generate sufficient cash available for distribution to fund our stated quarterly cash dividend, if our board of directors so determines, we may use retained cash flow from other quarters, and other sources of cash.

The latest dividends paid and declared are presented below:

Acquisitions and investments

The acquisitions detailed below have been and are expected to be part of our uses of liquidity in 2021:

In January, 2021 we closed our second investment through the platform with the acquisition of Chile PV 2, a 40 MW PV plant. The total equity investment in this new asset was approximately $5.0 million.

In January 2021 we closed the acquisition of a 42.5% equity interest in Rioglass increasing our equity interest to 57.5%, for which we paid $8.4 million and we paid an additional $3.6 million, deductible from the final payment, for an option to acquire the remaining 42.5% under the same conditions. On July 22, 2021, we exercised such option and paid $4.8 million, resulting in a 100% ownership.

In April, 2021, we closed the acquisition of Coso, a 135 MW renewable asset in California. The total equity investment was approximately $130 million, which was paid in April 2021. In addition, on July 15, 2021, we paid an additional amount of $40 million to reduce project debt.

Table of Contents

In May 2021 we closed the acquisition of Calgary District Heating, a district heating asset in Canada, for a total equity investment of approximately $22.5 million.

On June 16, 2021 we closed the acquisition of a 49% interest in Vento II, a 596 MW wind portfolio of in the U.S. for a total equity investment of $198.3 million.

In December 2020 we reached an agreement with Algonquin to acquire La Sierpe, a 20 MW solar asset in Colombia for a total equity investment of approximately $20 million. Closing is expected to occur after the asset reaches commercial operation, currently expected in the third quarter of 2021. Closing is subject to conditions precedent and regulatory approvals. Additionally, we agreed to invest in additional solar plants in Colombia with a combined capacity of approximately 30 MW.

Cash flow

The following table sets forth cash flow data for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 and 2020:

Net cash flows provided by operating activities

Net cash provided by operating activities in the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 amounted to $246.3 million, compared to $148.4 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2020. The increase was largely due to a positive change in working capital compared to the negative change in working capital for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020. This is mainly due to shorter collection periods in 2021, particularly in Mexico where Pemex is catching-up on the collection delays which started in the second half of 2019. In our assets in Spain, collection periods have also been shorter in the first half of 2021. The increase was also due to higher profit for the period adjusted by finance expenses and non-monetary adjustments, mainly due to higher Adjusted EBITDA, as we explain in “Segment Reporting”.

Table of Contents

Net cash used in investing activities

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, net cash used in investing activities amounted to $327.0 million and corresponded mainly to $323.1 million paid for the acquisitions of Vento II, Coso, Calgary, Chile PV2 and Rioglass. Net cash used in investing activities also includes investments in concessional assets for $16.6 million, mainly corresponding to maintenance capital expenditure and equipment replacements in Solana. These cash outflows were partially offset by $13.2 million of dividends received from Amherst Island Partnership by AYES Canada, most of which were paid to our partner in this project.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2020, net cash provided by investing activities was $16.8 and mainly corresponded to $11.1 million from the acquisition of Tenes, since the cash consolidated from the acquisition date is higher than the payment made under the agreement signed in May 2020. Investing cash flow for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 also includes $7.4 million proceeds related to the amounts Solana received under obligations from the EPC Contractor. From an accounting perspective, because this payment resulted from obligations under the EPC contract, the amount received was recorded as reducing the asset value and was therefore classified as cash provided by investing activities. These effects were partially offset by the amount paid for the acquisition of Chile PV 1.

Net cash used in financing activities

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, net cash used in financing activities amounted to $96.7 million and includes the repayment of principal of our project financing agreements for an approximate amount of $164.4 and $105.8 million of dividends paid to shareholders and non-controlling interests. These cash outflows were partially offset by the proceeds from the equity private placement closed in January 2021 for a net amount of $130.6 million. In addition, in the second quarter of 2021 we prepaid the Note Issuance Facility 2019 for $354.2 with the proceeds of the Green Senior Notes issued, amounting to $394.0 million, which created a net cash inflow of $32.9 million.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2020, net cash provided by financing activities was $71.9 million and mainly corresponded to the proceeds from the 2020 Green Private Placement and the Green Project Finance, for a total amount of $468.3 million and to the withdrawal of approximately $90.0 million under the Revolving Credit Facility. This increase was partially offset by the repayment of $308.8 million of the Note Issuance Facility 2017, with the proceeds from the 2020 Green Private Placement, the scheduled repayment of principal of our project financing agreements for an approximate amount of $116.6 million and $97.5 million of dividends paid to shareholders and non-controlling interest.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

Our activities are exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. Risk is managed by our Risk Management and Finance Departments in accordance with mandatory internal management rules. The internal management rules provide written policies for the management of overall risk, as well as for specific areas, such as exchange rate risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, use of hedging instruments and derivatives and the investment of excess cash.

Table of Contents

Market risk

We are exposed to market risk, such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates fluctuations. All of these market risks arise in the normal course of business and we do not carry out speculative operations. For the purpose of managing these risks, we use swaps and options on interest rates and foreign exchange rates. None of the derivative contracts signed has an unlimited loss exposure.

Foreign exchange risk

The main cash flows from our subsidiaries are cash collections arising from long-term contracts with clients and debt payments arising from project finance repayment. Given that financing of the projects is generally denominated in the same currency in which the contract with the client is signed, a natural hedge exists for our main operations.

Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar, as most of our revenue and expenses are denominated or linked to the U.S. dollar. Our assets located in North America and most of our assets in South America have their PPAs, or concessional agreements, and financing contracts signed in, or indexed totally or partially, to U.S. dollars. Our solar power plants in Spain have their revenues and expenses denominated in euros, and Kaxu, our solar plant in South Africa, has its revenue and expenses denominated in South African rand.

Although we hedge cash-flows in euros, fluctuations in the value of the euro in relation to the U.S. dollar may affect our operating results. In subsidiaries with functional currency other than the U.S. dollar, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using end-of-period exchange rates. Revenue, expenses and cash flows are translated using average rates of exchange. Fluctuations in the value of the South African rand in relation to the U.S. dollar may also affect our operating results.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk arises mainly from our financial liabilities at variable interest rate (less than 10% of our total project debt financing). We use interest rate swaps and interest rate options (caps) to mitigate interest rate risk.

As a result, the notional amounts hedged as of June 30, 2021, contracted strikes and maturities, depending on the characteristics of the debt on which the interest rate risk is being hedged, are very diverse, including the following:

●	Project debt in euro: 100% of the notional amount, maturities until 2030 and average strike interest rates of between 0.00% and 4.87%

●	Project debt in U.S. dollars: between 75% and 100% of the notional amount, maturities until 2040 and average strike interest rates of between 0.82% and 5.27%

In connection with our interest rate derivative positions, the most significant impact on our Annual Consolidated Financial Statements relates to the changes in EURIBOR or LIBOR, which represents the reference interest rate for the majority of our debt.

In relation to our interest rate swaps positions, an increase in EURIBOR or LIBOR above the contracted fixed interest rate would create an increase in our financial expense, which would be positively mitigated by our hedges, reducing our financial expense to our contracted fixed interest rate. However, an increase in EURIBOR or LIBOR that does not exceed the contracted fixed interest rate would not be offset by our derivative position and would result in a net financial loss recognized in our consolidated income statement. Conversely, a decrease in EURIBOR or LIBOR below the contracted fixed interest rate would result in lower interest expense on our variable rate debt, which would be offset by a negative impact from the mark-to-market of our hedges, increasing our financial expense up to our contracted fixed interest rate, thus likely resulting in a neutral effect.

In relation to our interest rate option positions, an increase in EURIBOR or LIBOR above the strike price would result in higher interest expenses, which would be positively mitigated by our hedges, reducing our financial expense to our capped interest rate, whereas a decrease of EURIBOR or LIBOR below the strike price would result in lower interest expenses.

In addition to the above, our results of operations can be affected by changes in interest rates with respect to the unhedged portion of our indebtedness that bears interest at floating rates.

In the event that EURIBOR and LIBOR had risen by 25 basis points as of June 30, 2021, with the rest of the variables remaining constant, the effect in the consolidated income statement would have been a loss of $2.8 million and an increase in hedging reserves of $25.4 million. The increase in hedging reserves would mainly be due to an increase in the fair value of interest rate swaps designated as hedges.

Credit risk

The credit rating of Eskom is currently CCC+ from S&P , Caa1 from Moody’s and B from Fitch. Eskom is the off-taker of our Kaxu solar plant, a state-owned, limited liability company, wholly owned by the government of the Republic of South Africa. Eskom’s payment guarantees to our Kaxu solar plant are underwritten by the South African Department of Energy, under the terms of an implementation agreement. The credit ratings of the Republic of South Africa as of the date of this report are BB-/Ba2/BB- by S&P, Moody’s and Fitch, respectively.

In addition, Pemex’s credit rating is currently BBB from S&P, Ba3 from Moody’s and BB- from Fitch. We experienced significant delays in collections from Pemex since the second half of 2019, although collections have recently improved.

In 2019, we also entered into a political risk insurance agreement with the Multinational Investment Guarantee Agency for Kaxu. The insurance provides protection for breach of contract up to $78.0 million in the event the South African Department of Energy does not comply with its obligations as guarantor. We also have a political risk insurance in place for our assets in Algeria up to $38.2 million, including two years dividend coverage. These insurance policies do not cover credit risk.

Liquidity risk

The objective of our financing and liquidity policy is to ensure that we maintain sufficient funds to meet our financial obligations as they fall due.

Project finance borrowing permits us to finance projects through project debt and thereby insulate the rest of our assets from such credit exposure. We incur project finance debt on a project-by-project basis.

The repayment profile of each project is established based on the projected cash flow generation of the business. This ensures that sufficient financing is available to meet deadlines and maturities, which mitigates the liquidity risk.

Legal Proceedings

A number of Abengoa’s subcontractors and insurance companies that issued bonds covering Abengoa’s obligations under such contracts in the U.S, included some of Atlantica’s non-recourse subsidiaries in the U.S. at the time that the plants we currently own as co-defendants in claims against Abengoa were being constructed. Generally speaking, the Atlantica subsidiaries were dismissed as defendants at early stages of the processes. In relation to a claim filed by a group of insurance companies against a number of Abengoa’s subsidiaries and against Solana (Arizona Solar One) for Abengoa related losses of approximately $20 million that could increase, according to the insurance companies, up to a maximum of approximately $200 million if all their exposure resulted in losses. Atlantica reached an agreement with all but one of the above-mentioned insurance companies, under which they agreed to dismiss their claims in exchange for payments of approximately $4.3 million, which were paid in 2018. The insurance company that did not join the agreement has temporarily halted legal actions against Atlantica, and Atlantica does not expect this particular claim to have a material adverse effect on its business.

In addition, an insurance company covering certain Abengoa obligations in Mexico claimed certain amounts related to a potential loss. Atlantica reached an agreement under which Atlantica´s maximum theoretical exposure would in any case be limited to approximately $35 million, including $2.5 million to be held in an escrow account. In January 2019, the insurance company called on this $2.5 million from the escrow account and Abengoa reimbursed this amount in accordance with the indemnities in force between Atlantica and Abengoa. The payments by Atlantica will only happen if and when the actual loss has been confirmed and after arbitration if the Company initiates it. We used to have indemnities from Abengoa for certain potential losses, but such indemnities are no longer valid following the insolvency filing by Abengoa S.A. in February 2021.

Atlantica is not a party to any other significant legal proceedings other than legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business. Atlantica is party to various administrative and regulatory proceedings that have arisen in the ordinary course of business.

While Atlantica does not expect these proceedings, either individually or in combination, to have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results of operations, because of the nature of these proceedings Atlantica is not able to predict their ultimate outcomes, some of which may be unfavorable to Atlantica.

DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT

August 3, 2021

J.P. Morgan Securities LLC

383 Madison Avenue

New York, New York 10179

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Atlantica Sustainable Infrastructure plc, registered in England and Wales with the company number 08818211 and having its registered office at Great West House (Gw1), Great West Road, Brentford TW8 9DF, London, United Kingdom (the “Company”), confirms its agreement with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as agent and/or principal under any Terms Agreement (as defined in Section 1(a) below) (“you” or the “Agent”), with respect to the issuance and sale from time to time by the Company, in the manner and subject to the terms and conditions described below in this Distribution Agreement (this “Agreement”), of ordinary shares with a nominal value $0.10 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), of the Company having an aggregate Gross Sales Price (as defined in Section 2(b) below) of up to $150,000,000 (the “Maximum Amount”) on the terms set forth in Section 1 of this Agreement. Such shares are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Shares” and are described in the Prospectus referred to below.

The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement on Form F-3 (File No. 258395) (the “Registration Statement”) for the registration of the Shares and other securities of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (collectively, the “Act”); and such registration statement sets forth the terms of the offering, sale and plan of distribution of the Shares and contains additional information concerning the Company and its business. Except where the context otherwise requires, “Registration Statement” as used herein, means the Registration Statement, as amended at the time of such Registration Statement’s effectiveness for purposes of Section 11 of the Act, as such section applies to the Agent, including (1) all documents filed as a part thereof or incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein and (2) any information contained or incorporated by reference in a prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act, to the extent such information is deemed, pursuant to Rule 430B or Rule 430C under the Act, to be part of the Registration Statement at the effective time. “Base Prospectus” means the prospectus dated August 3, 2021 filed as part of the Registration Statement, including the documents incorporated by reference therein as of the date of such prospectus; “Prospectus Supplement” means the prospectus supplement dated the date hereof to the base prospectus and relating to the Shares, filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act in connection with a public offering or sale of Shares pursuant hereto, in the form furnished by the Company to the Agent in connection with the offering of the Shares; “Prospectus” means the Prospectus Supplement (and any additional prospectus supplement prepared in accordance with the provision of Section 4(h) of this Agreement and filed in accordance with the provisions of Rule 424(b)) together with the Base Prospectus attached to or used with the Prospectus Supplement; and “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus” has the meaning set forth in Section 3(b). Any reference herein to the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement, the Prospectus or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus shall, unless otherwise stated, be deemed to refer to and include the documents, if any, incorporated by reference, or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 6 of Form F-3 under the Act, as of the date of such Base Prospectus, Prospectus Supplement or the Prospectus, as the case may be (the “Incorporated Documents”), including, unless the context otherwise requires, the documents, if any, filed as exhibits to such Incorporated Documents. Any reference herein to the terms “amend,” “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus shall, unless stated otherwise, be deemed to refer to and include the filing or furnishing of any document pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (collectively, the “Exchange Act”) on or after the initial effective date of the Registration Statement, or the date of the Base Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement, the Prospectus or such Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, as the case may be, that is incorporated by reference therein or deemed incorporated by reference. References in this Agreement to financial statements or other information that is “contained,” “included,” “described,” “set forth” or “provided” in the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement, the Prospectus or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus and any similar references shall, unless stated otherwise, include any information incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein. Pursuant to an agreement entered into with Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. (“Algonquin”), Algonquin or one or more of its subsidiaries as designated by Algonquin (the "AQN Investor") has the right but not the obligation to purchase a number of ordinary shares to maintain its percentage interest in the Company, subject to certain adjustments and conditions. In connection with this, on August 3, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement (the "ATM Plan Letter Agreement") with Algonquin, pursuant to which the Company will offer the AQN Investor the right but not the obligation (the "ATM Preemptive Right") on a quarterly basis, to purchase a number of ordinary shares to maintain its percentage interest in the Company at the average price of the Shares sold under this Agreement adjusted for any dividends, distributions, reorganizations or business combinations or similar transactions in the previous quarter in connection with the furnishing and filing by the Company of its quarterly or annual financial statements on Form 6-K or Form 20-F with the Commission and certain quarterly meetings of Algonquin’s board of directors, subject to certain conditions further described in the ATM Plan Letter Agreement, including the non-occurrence of a material adverse effect with respect to the Company. In the event that the AQN Investor exercises such ATM Preemptive Right, the Company and the AQN Investor will enter into a subscription agreement with a settlement date no earlier than three business days and no later than one hundred and eighty calendar days from Algonquin's notice that it is subscribing for the ordinary shares.

The Company and the Agent agree as follows:

1. Issuance and Sale.

(a) Upon the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and provided the Company provides the Agent with any due diligence materials and information reasonably requested by the Agent necessary for the Agent to satisfy its due diligence obligations, on any Exchange Business Day (as defined below) selected by the Company, the Company and the Agent shall enter into an agreement in accordance with Section 2 hereof regarding the number of Shares to be placed by the Agent, as agent, and the manner in which and other terms upon which such placement is to occur (each such transaction being referred to as an “Agency Transaction”). The Company may also offer to sell the Shares directly to the Agent, as principal, in which event such parties shall enter into a separate agreement (each, a “Terms Agreement”) in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto (with such changes thereto as may be agreed upon by the Company and the Agent to accommodate a transaction involving additional underwriters), relating to such sale in accordance with Section 2(g) of this Agreement (each such transaction being referred to as a “Principal Transaction”). As used herein, (i) the “Term” shall be the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the earlier of (x) the date on which the aggregate Gross Sales Price of Shares issued and sold pursuant to this Agreement and any Terms Agreements equal to the Maximum Amount and (y) any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8, (ii) an “Exchange Business Day” means any day during the Term that is a trading day for the Exchange other than a day on which trading on the Exchange is scheduled to close prior to its regular weekday closing time, and (iii) “Exchange” means the Nasdaq Global Select Market.

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, the Company appoints the Agent as agent in connection with the offer and sale of Shares in any Agency Transactions entered into hereunder. The Agent will use commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its normal trading and sales practices, to sell such Shares in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions hereof and of the applicable Transaction Acceptance (as defined below). Neither the Company nor the Agent shall have any obligation to enter into an Agency Transaction. The Company shall be obligated to issue and sell through the Agent, and the Agent shall be obligated to use commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and as provided herein and in the applicable Transaction Acceptance, to place Shares only if and when the Company makes a Transaction Proposal to the Agent related to such an Agency Transaction and a Transaction Acceptance related to such Agency Transaction has been delivered to the Company by the Agent as provided in Section 2 below.

(c) The Agent, as agent in any Agency Transaction, hereby covenants and agrees not to make any sales of the Shares on behalf of the Company pursuant to this Agreement other than (A) by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions between members of the Exchange that qualify for delivery of a Prospectus in accordance with Rule 153 under the Act and meet the definition of an “at the market offering” under Rule 415(a)(4) under the Act (such transactions are hereinafter referred to as “At the Market Offerings”) and (B) such other sales of the Shares on behalf of the Company in its capacity as agent of the Company as shall be agreed by the Company and the Agent in writing under a Terms Agreement.

(d) If Shares are to be sold in an Agency Transaction in an At the Market Offering, the Agent will confirm in writing to the Company the number of Shares sold on any Exchange Business Day and the related Gross Sales Price and Net Sales Price (as each of such terms is defined in Section 2(b) below) no later than six hours prior to the opening of trading on the immediately following Exchange Business Day in which the Shares are sold under this Section 1(d).

(e) If the Company or its transfer agent (if applicable) shall default on its obligation to deliver Shares to the Agent pursuant to the terms of any Agency Transaction or Terms Agreement (other than as a result of the Agent failing to timely deliver the Transaction Acceptance), the Company shall (i) indemnify and hold harmless the Agent and its successors and assigns from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses arising from or as a result of such default by the Company and (ii) notwithstanding any such default, pay to the Agent the commission to which it would otherwise be entitled in connection with such sale in accordance with Section 2(b) below.

(f) The Company acknowledges and agrees that (i) there can be no assurance that the Agent will be successful in selling the Shares, (ii) the Agent shall incur no liability or obligation to the Company or any other person or entity if it does not sell Shares for any reason other than a failure by the Agent to use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable law and regulations to sell such Shares in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and (iii) the Agent shall be under no obligation to purchase Shares on a principal basis pursuant to this Agreement, except as may otherwise be specifically agreed by the Agent and the Company in a Terms Agreement.

2. Transaction Acceptances and Terms Agreements.

(a) The Company may, from time to time during the Term, propose to the Agent that they enter into an Agency Transaction to be executed on a specified Exchange Business Day or over a specified period of Exchange Business Days, which proposal shall be made to the Agent by telephone or by email from any of the individuals listed as an authorized representative of the Company on Schedule A hereto to make such sales and shall set forth the information specified below (each, a “Transaction Proposal”). If the Agent agrees to the terms of such proposed Agency Transaction or if the Company and the Agent mutually agree to modified terms for such proposed Agency Transaction, then the Agent shall promptly deliver to the Company by email a notice (each, a “Transaction Acceptance”) confirming the terms of such proposed Agency Transaction as set forth in such Transaction Proposal or setting forth the modified terms for such proposed Agency Transaction as agreed by the Company and the Agent, as the case may be; provided that, following such email confirming acceptance, the Company will also be obligated to promptly return the countersigned Transaction Acceptance to the Agent by email for the parties’ records, whereupon such Agency Transaction shall become a binding agreement between the Company and the Agent. Each Transaction Proposal shall specify:

(i)

the Exchange Business Day(s) on which the Shares subject to such Agency Transaction are intended to be sold (each, a “Purchase Date”);

(ii)

the maximum number of Shares to be sold by the Agent (the “Specified Number of Shares”) on, or over the course of, such Purchase Date(s), or as otherwise agreed between the Company and Agent and documented in the relevant Transaction Acceptance (in any event not in excess of the amount available for issuance under the Prospectus and the currently effective Registration Statement as described below);

(iii)

the lowest price, if any, at which the Company is willing to sell Shares on each such Purchase Date or a formula pursuant to which such lowest price shall be determined (each, a “Floor Price”);

(iv)

if other than 1.00% of the Gross Sales Price, the Agent’s discount or commission; and

(v)

other customary parameters and conditions.

A Transaction Proposal shall not set forth a Specified Number of Shares and Floor Price, the product of which, when added to the aggregate Gross Sales Price of Shares previously purchased and to be purchased pursuant to pending Transaction Acceptances (if any) hereunder and any Terms Agreements, results or could result in a total Gross Sales Price that exceeds the Maximum Amount nor shall it set forth a Floor Price which is lower than the minimum price therefor designated, if any, from time to time by any authorized representative of the Company on Schedule A hereto to whom such authority has been duly and properly delegated by the Company’s board of directors. The Company shall have responsibility for maintaining records with respect to the aggregate number and aggregate Gross Sales Price of Shares sold and for otherwise monitoring the availability of Shares for sale under the Registration Statement and for insuring that the aggregate number and aggregate Gross Sales Price of Shares offered and sold does not exceed, and the price at which any Shares are offered or sold is not lower than, the aggregate number and aggregate Gross Sales Price of Shares and the minimum price therefor designated, if any, from time to time by any authorized representative of the Company on Schedule A hereto to whom such authority has been duly and properly delegated by the Company’s board of directors. In the event that more than one Transaction Acceptance with respect to any Purchase Date(s) is delivered by the Agent to the Company, the latest Transaction Acceptance shall govern any sales of Shares for the relevant Purchase Date(s), except to the extent of any action occurring pursuant to a prior Transaction Acceptance and prior to the delivery to the Company of the latest Transaction Acceptance. The Company or the Agent may, upon notice to the other such party by telephone (confirmed promptly by e-mail), suspend or terminate the offering of the Shares pursuant to Agency Transactions for any reason; provided, however, that such suspension or termination shall not affect or impair the parties’ respective obligations with respect to the Shares sold hereunder prior to the giving of such notice or their respective obligations under any Terms Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the terms of any Agency Transaction contemplate that Shares shall be sold on more than one Purchase Date, then the Company and the Agent shall mutually agree to such additional terms and conditions as they deem reasonably necessary in respect of such multiple Purchase Dates, and such additional terms and conditions shall be set forth in or confirmed by, as the case may be, the relevant Transaction Acceptance and be binding to the same extent as any other terms contained therein. During any term of suspension, the Company shall not be obligated to deliver (or cause to be delivered) any of the documents referred to in Sections 6(b) through 6(d) and 6(f), be deemed to affirm any of the representations or warranties contained in this Agreement pursuant to Sections 3 or 6(a) hereof, or be obligated to conduct any due diligence session referred to Section 6(f) until the termination of the suspension and the recommencement of the offering of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement (which recommencement shall constitute a Bring-Down Delivery Date, as defined in Section 6(b)).

(b) The Purchase Date(s) in respect of the Shares deliverable pursuant to any Transaction Acceptance shall be set forth in or confirmed by, as the case may be, the applicable Transaction Acceptance. Except as otherwise agreed between the Company and the Agent, the Agent’s commission for any Shares sold through the Agent pursuant to this Agreement shall be a percentage, not to exceed 1.00%, of the actual sales price of such Shares (the “Gross Sales Price”), which commission shall be as set forth in or confirmed by, as the case may be, the applicable Transaction Acceptance; provided, however, that such commission shall not apply when the Agent acts as principal, in which case such commission or a discount shall be set forth in the applicable Terms Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Company engages the Agent for a sale of Shares that would constitute a “distribution,” within the meaning of Rule 100 of Regulation M under the Exchange Act or a “block” within the meaning of Rule 10b-18(a)(5) under the Exchange Act, the Company will provide the Agent, at the Agent’s request and upon reasonable advance notice to the Company, on or prior to the Settlement Date the opinions of counsel, accountants’ letters and officers’ certificates pursuant to Section 5 hereof that the Company would be required to provide to the Agent in connection with the sales of Shares pursuant to a Terms Agreement, each dated the Settlement Date, and such other documents and information as the Agent shall reasonably request, and the Company and the Agent will agree to compensation that is customary for the Agent with respect to such transaction. The Gross Sales Price less the Agent’s commission and after deduction for any transaction fees, transfer taxes (including any UK stamp duty and/or stamp duty reserve tax) or similar taxes or fees imposed by any governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory organization in respect of the sale of the applicable Shares is referred to herein at the “Net Sales Price.”

(c) Payment of the Net Sales Price for Shares sold by the Company on any Purchase Date pursuant to a Transaction Acceptance shall be made to the Company by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Company (which the Company shall provide to the Agent at least one Exchange Business Day prior to the applicable Agency Settlement Date (as defined below)) against delivery of such Shares to the Agent’s account, or an account of the Agent’s designee, at The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit and Withdrawal at Custodian System (“DWAC”) or by such other means of delivery as may be agreed to by the Company and the Agent. Such payment and delivery shall be made at or about 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Exchange Business Day (or such other day as may, from time to time, become standard industry practice for settlement of such a securities issuance or as agreed to by the Company and the Agent) following each Purchase Date (each, an “Agency Settlement Date”).

(d) If, as set forth in or confirmed by, as the case may be, the related Transaction Acceptance, a Floor Price has been agreed to by the parties with respect to a Purchase Date, and the Agent thereafter determines and notifies the Company that the Gross Sales Price for such Agency Transaction would not be at least equal to such Floor Price, then the Company shall not be obligated to issue and sell through the Agent, and the Agent shall not be obligated to place, the Shares proposed to be sold pursuant to such Agency Transaction on such Purchase Date, unless the Company and the Agent otherwise agree in writing.

(e) If either party has reason to believe that the exemptive provisions set forth in Rule 101(c)(1) of Regulation M under the Exchange Act are not satisfied with respect to the Shares, it shall promptly notify the other party and sales of the Shares under this Agreement, any Transaction Acceptance or any Terms Agreement shall be suspended until that or other exemptive provisions have been satisfied in the judgment of each party.

(f)

(i) If the Company wishes to issue and sell the Shares pursuant to this Agreement but other than as set forth in Section 2(a) of this Agreement, it will notify the Agent of the proposed terms of the Principal Transaction. If the Agent, acting as principal, wishes to accept such proposed terms (which it may decline to do for any reason in its sole discretion) or, following discussions with the Company, wishes to accept amended terms, the Company and the Agent shall enter into a Terms Agreement setting forth the terms of such Principal Transaction.

(ii)The terms set forth in a Terms Agreement shall not be binding on the Company or the Agent unless and until the Company and the Agent have each executed and delivered such Terms Agreement accepting all of the terms of such Terms Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of a Terms Agreement, the terms of such Terms Agreement shall control.

(g) Each sale of the Shares to the Agent in a Principal Transaction shall be made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and a Terms Agreement, which shall provide for the sale of such Shares to, and the purchase thereof by, the Agent. A Terms Agreement may also specify certain provisions relating to the reoffering of such Shares by the Agent. The commitment of the Agent to purchase the Shares pursuant to any Terms Agreement shall be deemed to have been made on the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements of the Company contained, and shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth, in this Agreement and such Terms Agreement. Any such Terms Agreement shall specify the number of the Shares to be purchased by the Agent pursuant thereto, the price to be paid to the Company for such Shares, any provisions relating to rights of, and default by, underwriters, if any, acting together with the Agent in the reoffering of the Shares, and the time and date (each such time and date being referred to herein as a “Principal Settlement Date”; and, together with any Agency Settlement Date, a “Settlement Date”) and place of delivery of and payment for such Shares.

(h) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not offer, sell or deliver, or request the offer or sale, of any Shares pursuant to this Agreement (whether in an Agency Transaction or a Principal Transaction) and, by notice to the Agent given by telephone (confirmed promptly by email), shall cancel any instructions for the offer or sale of any Shares, and the Agent shall not be obligated to offer or sell any Shares, (i) during any period in which the Company’s insider trading policy, as it exists on the date of this Agreement, would prohibit the purchases or sales of the Company’s Ordinary Shares by any of its officers or directors, which such period shall be deemed to end on the date on which the Company’s subsequent Annual Report (as defined below) or Quarterly Report (as defined below) is filed or furnished, respectively, with the Commission, (ii) during any period in which the Company is, or could be deemed to be, in possession of material non-public information or (iii) at any time from and including the date on which the Company shall issue a press release containing, or shall otherwise publicly announce, its earnings, revenues or other results of operations through and including the time that is 24 hours after the time that the Company furnishes or files, respectively, a quarterly report on Form 6-K, containing reviewed quarterly financial statements for the three months ended March 31, June 30 or September 30 (each a “Quarterly Report”) or an annual report pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act on Form 20-F (the “Annual Report”), as applicable.

(i) The Company agrees that any offer to sell, any solicitation of an offer to buy, or any sales of Shares by the Company under this Agreement shall be effected only on any Exchange Business Day.

(j) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not authorize the issuance and sale of, and the Agent, as sales agent, shall not be obligated to use its commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its normal trading and sales practices, to sell, any Shares at a price lower than the minimum price therefor designated, if any, from time to time by the Company’s board of directors or, if permitted by applicable law and the Company’s memorandum and articles of association, a duly authorized committee thereof or any authorized representative of the Company on Schedule A hereto to whom such authority has been duly and properly delegated by the Company’s board of directors, or in a number in excess of the number of Shares approved for listing on the Exchange, or in excess of the number or amount of Shares available for issuance on the Registration Statement or as to which the Company has paid the applicable registration fee, it being understood and agreed by the parties hereto that compliance with any such limitations shall be the sole responsibility of the Company.

3. Representations, Warranties and Agreements of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Agent, on and as of (i) the date hereof, (ii) each date on which the Company receives a Transaction Acceptance (the “Time of Acceptance”), (iii) each date on which the Company executes and delivers a Terms Agreement, (iv) each Time of Sale (as defined in Section 3(a)), (v) each Settlement Date and (vi) each Bring-Down Delivery Date (as defined in Section 6(b)) (each such date listed in (i) through (vi), a “Representation Date”), as follows:

(a) The Company meets the requirements for use of Form F-3 under the 1933 Act. The Registration Statement is an “automatic shelf registration statement” (as defined in Rule 405) and the Shares have been and remain eligible for registration by the Company on such automatic shelf registration statement. Each of the Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective under the 1933 Act. No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, and, no order preventing or suspending the use of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus has been issued and no proceedings for any of those purposes have been instituted or are pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, contemplated. The Company has complied with each request (if any) from the Commission for additional information.

The Registration Statement, at the time of its effectiveness and as of the date hereof and, as then amended or supplemented, as of each other Representation Date will comply, in all material respects, with the requirements of the Act; the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, at the time each was filed with the Commission, and, in each case, as of each Representation Date, complied and will comply in all material respects, with the requirements of the Act and each Prospectus delivered to the Agent for use in connection with this offering was identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.

The documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, when they became effective or at the time they were or hereafter are filed with the Commission, complied and will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission under the 1934 Act (the “1934 Act Regulations”).

(b) Neither the Registration Statement nor any amendment thereto, at its effective time, on the date hereof or, as of each Representation Date, contained, contains or will contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted, omits or will omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

The Company has complied and will comply in all material respects with the requirements of Rule 433 under the Act applicable to any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, including timely filing with the Commission where required, legending and record keeping.

The Company and its subsidiaries maintain a system of “internal control over financial reporting” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the 1934 Act), that complies with the requirements of the 1934 Act and have been designed by, or under the supervision of, management, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS-IASB as issued by the IASB. The Company and its subsidiaries’ internal controls over financial reporting are effective and the Company and its subsidiaries are not aware of any material weakness in their internal controls over financial reporting.

The Company and each of its subsidiaries have complied in all material respects with all applicable statutes, orders, rules and regulations in regard to such plans, agreements, policies and arrangements. The present value of all accrued benefits under each such plan, based on those assumptions used to fund such plan, as calculated by the Company’s actuaries, did not, as of the last annual valuation date prior to the date on which this representation is made, exceed the value of the assets of such plan allocable to such benefits by an amount which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(ff) Each “employee benefit plan,” within the meaning of Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), for which the Company has or could reasonably expect to have any liability, contingent or otherwise, including due to the Company being a member of a “Controlled Group” (defined as any controlled group of corporations within the meaning of Section 414 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) that includes the Company) (each, a “Plan”), has been maintained in compliance with its terms and the requirements of any applicable statutes, orders, rules and regulations, including but not limited to ERISA and the Code, except for any failure to comply that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No prohibited transaction, within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, has occurred with respect to any Plan subject to such provisions excluding transactions effected pursuant to a statutory or administrative exemption and transactions that would not have a Material Adverse Effect. For each Plan that is subject to the funding rules of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA, no failure to satisfy the “minimum funding standard” or “minimum required contribution” (as such terms are defined in Section 412 or 430 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA), whether or not waived, has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur, except for any such failure that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. As of the end of the prior plan year, the fair market value of the assets of each Plan that is subject to ERISA and is required to be funded under ERISA equals or exceeds the actuarial present value of the benefit liabilities, within the meaning of Section 4041 of ERISA, under such Plan (determined based on reasonable actuarial assumptions and the asset valuation principles established by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation), except for any failure to be so funded that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No “reportable event,” as defined in Section 4043 of ERISA (other than an event with respect to which the 30-day notice requirement has been waived), has occurred with respect to any Plan, except for any such event that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any members of its Controlled Group have incurred or reasonably expect to incur (i) liability under Title IV of ERISA with respect to the termination or underfunding of any pension plan, or (ii) any withdrawal liability within the meaning of Section 4201 of ERISA from a plan subject to Title IV of ERISA, in each case, except for any such liability that would not have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company has not incurred and does not reasonably expect to incur liability with respect to any “employee welfare benefit plan” (within the meaning of Section (3)(1) of ERISA) subject to ERISA providing medical, health or life insurance or other welfare type benefits for current or future retired or terminated employees, their spouses or their dependents (other than in accordance with Section 4980B of the Code), in each case, except for any such liability that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(gg) Neither the Company or any of its subsidiaries has taken any action, nor have any other steps been taken or legal proceedings commenced or, so far as each of the Company and its subsidiaries is aware, threatened against the Company or any of its subsidiaries for the winding-up or dissolution or for any similar or analogous proceeding in any jurisdiction concerning the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or for the Company or any of its subsidiaries to enter into any arrangement or composition for the benefit of creditors, or for the appointment of a receiver, administrative receiver or examiner.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) no Bring-Down Delivery Date shall be deemed to occur during any period where either the Company or the Agent has suspended sales hereunder and (ii) the period from and including the date hereof until the date that the Company notifies the Agent that it intends to commence sales under this Agreement shall be deemed to be such a period of suspended sales and no commencement of the offering of the Shares shall be deemed to occur during such period.

(c) Each Bring-Down Delivery Date, the Company shall, unless the Agent agrees otherwise, cause to be furnished to Agent (A) the written US and English law opinions and negative assurance letter of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom (UK) LLP, English and United States, counsel to the Company, and (B) the written US and English law opinions and negative assurance letter of Latham & Watkins (London) LLP, English and United States counsel to the Agents, each dated as of the applicable Bring-Down Delivery Date and delivered within one Exchange Business Day after the applicable Bring-Down Delivery Date or, in the case of a Bring-Down Delivery Date resulting from a Principal Settlement Date, dated and delivered on such Principal Settlement Date, of the same tenor as the opinions and letters referred to in Section 5(a)(ii) or Section 5(b) hereof, as applicable, but modified as necessary to relate to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as amended and supplemented to the time of delivery of such opinions and letters, or, in lieu of such opinions and letters, each such counsel shall furnish the Agent with a letter substantially to the effect that the Agent may rely on the opinion and letter of such counsel referred to in Section 5(a)(ii) or Section 5(b), as applicable, furnished to the Agent, to the same extent as though they were dated the date of such letter authorizing reliance (except that statements in such last opinion and letter of such counsel shall be deemed to relate to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as amended and supplemented to the time of delivery of such letters authorizing reliance). The requirement to provide opinions pursuant to this paragraph shall be waived for any Bring-Down Delivery Date described in the second paragraph of Section 6(b) of the definition thereof occurring at a time at which no instruction to the Agent to sell Shares pursuant to this Agreement has been delivered by the Company or is pending. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company subsequently decides to sell Shares following any such Bring-Down Delivery Date when the Company relied on such waiver and did not provide the Agent the opinions pursuant to this paragraph, then before the Company instructs the Agent to sell Shares pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall provide the Agent with such opinions.

(d) Each Bring-Down Delivery Date, the Company shall, unless the Agent agrees otherwise, cause Ernst & Young, S.L. and, if applicable, Deloitte S.L., to furnish to the Agent a “comfort” letter, dated as of the applicable Bring-Down Delivery Date and delivered within one Exchange Business Day after the applicable Bring-Down Delivery Date or, in the case of a Bring-Down Delivery Date resulting from a Principal Settlement Date, delivered on such Principal Settlement Date, of the same tenor as the letter referred to in Section 5(a)(iii) hereof, but modified to relate to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as amended and supplemented to the date of such letter, and, if the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus shall include or incorporate by reference the financial statements of any entity or business (other than the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries), the Company shall, if requested by the Agent, cause a firm of independent public accountants to furnish to the Agent a “comfort” letter, dated as of the applicable Bring-Down Delivery Date and delivered within one Exchange Business Day after the applicable Bring-Down Delivery Date or, in the case of a Bring-Down Delivery Date resulting from a Principal Settlement Date, delivered on such Principal Settlement Date, addressing such matters as the Agent may reasonably request. The requirement to provide “comfort” letters from the independent public accountants pursuant to this paragraph shall be waived for any Bring-Down Delivery Date described in the second paragraph of Section 6(b) of the definition thereof occurring at a time at which no instruction to the Agent to sell Shares pursuant to this Agreement has been delivered by the Company or is pending. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company subsequently decides to sell Shares following any such Bring-Down Delivery Date when the Company relied on such waiver and did not provide the Agent the “comfort” letters from the accountants described in this paragraph, then before the Company instructs the Agent to sell Shares pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall provide the Agent with such letters.

(e) (i) No order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement shall be in effect, and no proceeding for such purpose or pursuant to Section 8A under the Act shall be pending before or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened by the Commission; the Prospectus and each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus shall have been timely filed with the Commission under the Act (in the case of a Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, to the extent required by Rule 433 under the Act); and all requests by the Commission for additional information shall have been complied with to the satisfaction of the Agent and no suspension of the qualification of the Shares for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or of the initiation or threatening of any proceedings for any of such purposes, shall have occurred and be in effect at the time the Company delivers a Transaction Proposal to the Agent or the time the Agent delivers a Transaction Acceptance to the Company; and (ii) the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus shall not contain an untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading at the time the Company delivers a Transaction Proposal to the Agent or the time the Agent delivers a Transaction Acceptance to the Company.

(f) The Company shall reasonably cooperate with any reasonable due diligence review requested by the Agent or its counsel from time to time in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or any Terms Agreement, including, without limitation, (i) at the commencement of each intended Purchase Date and any Time of Sale or Settlement Date, providing information and making available appropriate documents and appropriate corporate officers of the Company and, upon reasonable request, representatives of Ernst & Young, S.L. (and, if the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Permitted Free-Writing Prospectus shall include or incorporate by reference the financial statements of any entity or business (other than the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries), representatives of the independent public accountants that audited or reviewed such financial statements) for an update on diligence matters with representatives of the Agent and (ii) at each Bring-Down Delivery Date and otherwise as the Agent may reasonably request, providing information and making available documents and appropriate corporate officers of the Company and representatives of Ernst & Young, S.L. (and, if the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Permitted Free-Writing Prospectus shall include or incorporate by reference the financial statements of any entity or business (other than the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries), representatives of the independent public accountants that audited or reviewed such financial statements) for one or more due diligence sessions with representatives of the Agent and its counsel. The requirement to conduct a due diligence session and cooperate with any due diligence efforts of the Agent shall be waived for any Bring-Down Delivery Date described in the second paragraph of Section 6(b) of the definition thereof occurring at a time at which no instruction to the Agent to sell Shares pursuant to this Agreement has been delivered by the Company or is pending. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company subsequently decides to sell Shares following any such Bring-Down Delivery Date when the Company relied on such waiver and did not conduct a due diligence review or cooperate with any due diligence effort of the Agent, then before the Company instructs the Agent to sell Shares pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall conduct a due diligence session and cooperate with the due diligence efforts of the Agent.

(g) The Company will disclose, in its Annual Reports or Quarterly Reports, as applicable, the number of the Shares sold through the Agent under this Agreement and any Terms Agreement, and the Gross Sales Price and Net Sales Price to the Company from the sale of the Shares and the compensation paid by the Company with respect to sales of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement during the relevant quarter.

All opinions, letters and other documents referred to in Sections 6(b) through (d) above shall be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Agent. The Agent will provide the Company with such notice (which may be oral, and in such case, will be confirmed via e-mail as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter) as is reasonably practicable under the circumstances when requesting an opinion, letter or other document referred to in Sections 6(b) through (d) above.

8. Termination.

(a)

(i)

The Company may terminate this Agreement in its sole discretion at any time upon prior written notice to the Agent. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party, except that (A) with respect to any pending sale, the obligations of the Company, including in respect of compensation of the Agent, shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination until such Share sale has been completed; and (B) the provisions of Sections 3, 4 (except that if no Shares have been previously sold hereunder or under any Terms Agreement, only Section 4(l)), 9, 13, 15 and 17 of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination.

9. Indemnity and Contribution.

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent, its affiliates, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Agent within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, reasonable out of pocket legal fees and other expenses incurred in connection with any suit, action or proceeding or any claim asserted, as such fees and expenses are incurred), that arise out of, or are based upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, not misleading or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), any “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Act or any road show as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Act (a “road show”), or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to the Agent furnished to the Company in writing by the Agent expressly for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by the Agent consists of the information described as such in subsection (b) below.

(b) The Agent agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, its officers who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in paragraph (a) above, but only with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to the Agent furnished to the Company in writing by the Agent expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or any road show, it being understood and agreed upon that such information shall consist solely of the information in the first sentence of the ninth and tenth paragraph under the caption “Plan of Distribution” in the Prospectus Supplement.

(c) If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against any person in respect of which indemnification may be sought pursuant to either Section 9(a) or 9(b) above, such person (the “Indemnified Person”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnification may be sought (the “Indemnifying Person”) in writing; provided that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under this Section 9 except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided, further, that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under this Section 9. If any such proceeding shall be brought or asserted against an Indemnified Person and it shall have notified the Indemnifying Person thereof, the Indemnifying Person shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person (who shall not, without the consent of the Indemnified Person, be counsel to the Indemnifying Person) to represent the Indemnified Person and any others entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 9 that the Indemnifying Person may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding, as incurred. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel), but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless (i) the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the Indemnifying Person has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person; (iii) the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Person; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) included both the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood and agreed that the Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for (A) the Agent and its affiliates, directors and officers and its control persons, if any, or (B) the Company, its directors, its officers who signed the Registration Statement and its control persons, if any, as the case may be, and that all such reasonable fees and expenses shall be paid or reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate firm for the Agent and its affiliates, directors and officers and its control persons, if any, shall be designated in writing by the Agent, and any such separate firm for the Company, its directors, its officers who signed the Registration Statement and its control persons, if any, shall be designated in writing by the Company. The Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Person agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No Indemnifying Person shall, without the written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnification is or could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an Indemnified Person shall have requested an Indemnifying Person to reimburse the Indemnified Person for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this Section 9(c), the Indemnifying Person agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such Indemnifying Person of the aforesaid request and (ii) such Indemnifying Person shall not have reimbursed the Indemnified Person in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in Sections 9(a) and 9(b) above is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Person under such Sections, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Agent, on the other, from the offering of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement and any Terms Agreements or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Agent, on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Agent, on the other, shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds (before deducting expenses) received by the Company from the sale of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement and any Terms Agreements and the total discounts and commissions received by the Agent in connection therewith bear to the aggregate Gross Sales Price of such Shares. The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and Agent, on the other, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, on the one hand, or by Agent, on the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

(e) The Company and the Agent agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 9(d) above. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in Section 9(d) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9, in no event shall the Agent be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total discounts and commissions received by the Agent with respect to the offering of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement and any Terms Agreements exceeds the amount of any damages that the Agent has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(f) The remedies provided for in this Section 9 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity.

10. Tax

(a) Transfer duties: The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent, its affiliates (as such term is defined in Rule 501(b) under the 1933 Act (each, an “Affiliate”)), its selling agents and each person, if any, who controls the Agent within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever in respect of any stamp duty and (if applicable) stamp duty reserve tax, registration, issuance, transfer, documentary and all other similar taxes and duties wherever imposed, including any related costs, fines, interest and/or penalties (each a “Transfer Duty” and together “Transfer Duties”) which are paid by the Agent or any Affiliate thereof in respect of (i) the creation, issuance or delivery by the Company of the Shares, in the manner contemplated by this Agreement to the Agent through the facilities of DTC, (ii) the acquisition of the Shares (whether as agent or as principal) pursuant to the arrangements contemplated by this Agreement through the facilities of DTC, (iii) the initial sale and delivery (including any agreement for sale or delivery) by the Agent of the Shares (whether as agent or as principal) in book-entry form within DTC to purchasers thereof, provided that the Company shall not be liable to make a payment under this Section where the relevant Transfer Duty arises as a result of any transfer of, or agreement to transfer, the Shares subsequent to any such initial sale or delivery by the Agent to purchasers thereof pursuant to the arrangements contemplated by this Agreement and (iv) the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b) VAT: Where a sum (a “Relevant Sum”) is paid or reimbursed to the Agent or any of its Affiliates pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (including under Section 9 (Indemnification) of this Agreement) in respect of any loss, damage, liability, cost, charge or expense and that loss, damage, liability, cost, charge or expense includes an amount in respect of VAT (the “VAT Element”), the Company shall pay an amount to the Agent or Affiliates thereof in respect of the VAT Element which shall be determined as follows (i) to the extent that the Relevant Sum constitutes for VAT purposes payment or reimbursement of consideration for a supply of goods or services made to the Agent or Affiliate thereof (including where the Agent or Affiliate thereof acts as agent for the Company and is treated as receiving and making a supply in accordance with section 47(3) of the UK Value Added Tax Act 1994), a sum equal to the proportion of the VAT Element that such person determines to be irrecoverable input tax in the hands of the Agent or its Affiliate (or the representative member of the VAT group of which the Agent or such Affiliate is a member), that determination is to be conclusive save in the case of manifest error; and (ii) to the extent that the Relevant Sum constitutes for VAT purposes the reimbursement of a cost or expense incurred by the Agent or any of its Affiliates as agent for the Company (excluding where the Agent or such Affiliate acts as agent for the Company and is treated as receiving and making a supply in accordance with section 47(3) of the UK Value Added Tax Act 1994), a sum equal to the whole of the VAT Element, subject to the Agent or relevant Affiliate using reasonable endeavors to provide the Company with a valid VAT invoice addressed to the Company in respect of the supply to which the Relevant Sum relates. If the performance by the Agent or any of its Affiliates of any of its obligations under this Agreement shall represent for VAT purposes the making by the Agent or such Affiliate (or the representative member of the VAT group of which such person is a member) of any supply of goods or services that is taxable at a positive rate to the Company or any of its Affiliates, the recipient of the supply shall (or, failing that, the Company shall) pay to the Agent or such Affiliate, in addition to the amounts otherwise payable by it to the Agent or such Affiliate pursuant to this Agreement, an amount equal to the VAT chargeable on such supply, that payment to be made as soon as reasonably practicable following a demand for payment and in any event within five Business Days of such person requesting the same and against production by the Agent or such Affiliate of a valid VAT invoice. For the purposes of this Agreement, “VAT” shall mean any value added tax chargeable within the European Union under or pursuant to Council Directive 2006/112/EC, value added tax chargeable within the United Kingdom in accordance with the Value Added Tax Act 1994 and any other similar tax, wherever imposed.

(c) Payments free of deductions and withholdings: All sums payable to any of the Agent or their Affiliates under this Agreement (including, without limitation, any payment arising from a breach of the representation or warranties under this Agreement or any sum payable under Section 9 (Indemnification)) shall be paid in full, free and clear of all deductions or withholdings unless the deduction or withholding is required by law, in which event the Company (or to the extent relevant, any Affiliate thereof) shall increase the sum payable to such amount as will ensure that the net amount received by the Agent or any Affiliate thereof will equal the full amount which would have been received by it had no such deductions or withholdings been made.

(d) Gross up: If any taxing or other authority competent to impose any liability in respect of tax or responsible for the assessment, administration or collection of tax or enforcement of any law in relation to tax (a “Tax Authority”) brings into charge (or into any computation of income, profits or gains for the purposes of any charge) to tax of an Agent or Affiliate thereof any sum payable by or on behalf of the Company under this Agreement (including in circumstances where any relief is available in respect of such charge to tax) the amount so payable shall be increased by such amount (the “Gross Up Amount”) as will ensure that after subtraction of the amount of any such charge to tax which arises taking into account any tax credit or refund attributable to the matters giving rise to such payment (or that would arise but for the availability of any other relief in respect of that charge to tax) the payee receives a sum equal to the amount that would have been payable had no such tax been chargeable. This Section shall not apply in respect of any tax incurred by the relevant Agent or Affiliate thereof on its actual net income, profits or gains in respect of (i) any commissions payable under this Agreement; or (ii) any discounts received by the Agent or Affiliate thereof with respect to the offering of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement and any Terms Agreement.

(e) Tax Credits: If the Company pays a Gross Up Amount under the paragraph (d) above or an increased sum under the Section entitled “Payments free of deductions and withholdings” and the payee subsequently determines, acting in its absolute discretion (but in good faith), that it has obtained and utilized a refund of tax or credit against tax in respect of such amount, the payee shall reimburse the Company within a reasonable time with an amount equal to such proportion of that refund or credit as the payee determines (acting in good faith) shall leave it after such reimbursement in no worse position than it would have been in had the tax giving rise to the liability to pay the Gross Up Amount or increased sum under the Section entitled “Payments free of deductions and withholdings” not been chargeable. Nothing in this Section shall oblige the payee to disclose to the Company, nor shall the Company be entitled to inspect, any of the books and other records of the payee nor shall anything herein prevent the payee from arranging its tax and commercial affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit and, in particular, the payee shall not be under any obligation to claim credit or relief from or against its corporate profits or similar liability to tax in respect of the amount of such deduction, withholding or tax as aforesaid in priority to any other reliefs available to it.

ATM PLAN LETTER AGREEMENT

August 3, 2021

Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. (“AQN”)

354 Davis Road, Suite 100

Oakville, Ontario, L6J 2X1

Canada

Attention:	Arun Banskota
	Chief Executive Officer

CC:	Jennifer Tindale
	Chief Legal Officer

	Michael J. Aiello
	David Avery-Gee
	Matthew Gilroy
	Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP

Dear Mr. Banskota:

Atlantica Sustainable Infrastructure plc (the “Company”) intends to establish an “at-the-market program” for an aggregate offering size of up to $150,000,000 (the “ATM Program”), by which the Company may offer and sell its ordinary shares at any time and from time to time through one or more designated sales agents (the “Agent”), through ordinary brokers’ transactions through the NASDAQ Global Select Market (“NASDAQ”) at market prices, in block transactions or as otherwise agreed between the Company and the Agent (each an “ATM Sale”), pursuant to (i) a Distribution Agreement to be entered into with the Agent (the “Distribution Agreement”), (ii) the Company's registration statement on Form F-3 (the “Registration Statement”) and (iii) a related base prospectus and prospectus supplement to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (together the “Prospectus”).

In connection with the establishment of the above referenced ATM Program, the parties to this letter (this "letter agreement") agree as follows:

AQN acknowledges and agrees to the

establishment of the ATM Program,

each ATM Sale,

any related actions in furtherance of the foregoing, and

the filing of the Registration Statement and Prospectus, in each case for so long as the ATM Program is in full force and effect,

on condition that the Company agrees that, each of AQN or one or more of its subsidiaries designated by AQN (one or more entities, the “Investor”) collectively (in such proportions or other allocation as determined by AQN) shall have and are hereby granted the right (but not the obligation) (the “ATM Preemptive Right”), to subscribe in cash, in each case at the per Equity Security subscription price equal to the Catch-up Exercise Price (as defined below), for Equity Securities of the Company up to the amount equal to (i) the total amount of Equity Securities sold in each respective ATM Sale during the Catch-up Period (as defined below) divided by (ii) 1 minus its Percentage Interest as of the Catch-Up Date (as defined below) immediately prior to such Catch-up Period and multiplied by (iii) its Percentage Interest as of the Catch-up Date immediately prior to such Catch-up Period (such number of Equity Securities, the “Maximum Shares”), as set forth below. For purposes of calculating the Investor’s Percentage Interest under this letter agreement, there shall be added to the numerator and the denominator any Subscribed Catch-up Shares (as defined below) which the Investor has the right to acquire in respect of previous Catch-up Periods for which the Closing (as defined in the subscription agreement to be executed pursuant to this letter agreement) has not yet occurred (including any Subscribed Catch-up Shares which were not previously acquired in accordance with Section 5). To the extent any Subscribed Catch-up Shares relating to a subscription agreement pursuant to this letter agreement (x) fail to settle by the closing date in the relevant subscription agreement or (y) such subscription agreement is otherwise terminated, in each case, due to a breach by the Investor, the Investor’s Percentage Interest under this letter agreement shall be adjusted to remove any such shares for the purposes of calculating the Investor’s Percentage Interest and the number of Subscribed Catch-up Shares shall be reduced so that the Investor is entitled to subscribe for a number of shares resulting in a Percentage Interest no greater than if such shares had not been subscribed for.

In connection with the ATM Preemptive Right, the Company shall:

Such party is a company validly existing and duly incorporated, organized and registered under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation;

This letter agreement has been duly authorized and executed by it and constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of it;

All necessary consents, authorisations, notifications, actions or other things required to be taken, fulfilled or done by it in accordance with applicable law (including, without limitation: (i) the obtaining of any consent, approval or license, (ii) the making of any filing or registration; or (iii) the obtaining of any shareholder approval) for the carrying out of the transactions contemplated by this letter agreement or the performance by it of the terms of this letter agreement, have been obtained or made and are, or will on Closing (as defined in the subscription agreement to be executed pursuant to this letter agreement) be, in full force and effect;

The Company represents and warrants to AQN that as of each Catch-up Date, it is not aware of any material, non-public information with respect to the Company and its subsidiaries that has not been disclosed to AQN. To the extent the Company is unable to make the representations and warranties in this Section 5, the Company shall notify the Investor in the relevant Catch-up Notice and it shall not be considered a breach of this letter agreement. If the Company notifies the Investor in the Catch-up Notice that it is unable to make the representations and warranties in this Section 5 (such notice, the “Original Catch-up Notice”), the Investor may, in its sole discretion, elect to (a) subscribe for the Subscribed Catch-up Shares for the applicable Catch-up Period by the Exercise Deadline in the Catch-up Notice provided that the Investor will make the representations in paragraphs 1 and 2 in Schedule 3 of the subscription agreement appended hereto to the Company and acknowledge that the Company has advised it that the Company is in possession of material, non-public information with respect to the Company that has not been disclosed to AQN or (b) have the option of subscribing for the Subscribed Catch-up Shares for the applicable Catch-up Period either (i) following the next Catch-up Date on which the representations and warranties in this Section 5 can be made by the Company, or (ii) following any Catch-up Date relating to a later Catch-up Period (provided that the Investor will make the representations in paragraphs 1 and 2 in Schedule 3 of the subscription agreement appended hereto to the Company and acknowledge that the Company has advised it that the Company is in possession of material, non-public information with respect to the Company that has not been disclosed to AQN), in each case, at the Catch-up Exercise Price in the Original Catch-up Notice (i.e., for the Catch-up Period immediately preceding such notice).

The parties to this letter agreement agree that this letter agreement is not in breach of the Shareholders Agreement, dated as of 5 March 2018, by and among AQN and Abengoa-Algonquin Global Energy Solution B.V. (“AAGES”) and the Company, as amended from time to time (the “Shareholders Agreement"). Further, the parties to this letter agreement acknowledge that for the purpose of determining any pre-emptive rights of AQN and AAGES under the Shareholders Agreement, the calculation of Percentage Interest in connection with such pre-emptive rights shall be adjusted as follows: (a) the denominator shall be decreased by the number of shares issued under the ATM Program with respect to which the Investor has not yet had the opportunity to deliver an Investor Notice, and (b) the numerator and the denominator shall be increased by any Subscribed Catch-up Shares for which the Closing has not yet occurred. AQN further agrees that it will not directly or indirectly take action, nor entice AAGES, to assert a breach of the Shareholders Agreement by the Company with respect to the ATM Program subject to the Company’s compliance with the terms of this letter agreement. AQN shall use best efforts to cause AAGES to sign a joinder to Section 6 of this letter agreement prior to the delivery of any Investor Notice. The parties agree that the second sentence of this paragraph 6 is for the benefit of the parties and AAGES and is enforceable by AAGES in accordance with the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.

Except as otherwise provided in this letter agreement, any notice, demand or other communication to be served under this letter agreement shall be in writing and shall be served upon any party hereto only by email.

A notice or demand served by email shall be deemed to have been given two hours following dispatch unless evidence of receipt is received earlier (other than by an automated reply generated in response to such e-mail), save that if it is delivered later than 5.00 p.m. Eastern Time on a Business Day or at any time on a day which is not a Business Day, it shall be deemed to have been given at 8.00 a.m. Eastern Time on the next Business Day, provided in each case that no undeliverable or e-mail bounce back message is received.

We hereby appoint the Chairman of the Related Party Committee as our true and lawful attorney (the “Attorney”) pursuant to the Powers of Attorney Act 1971 (the “Act”) with authority on our behalf and in our name to do each of the following things in respect of [total number of shares in excess of 41.5%] ordinary shares in the Company of which we are, or we (or any of our affiliates) agreed to become, the beneficial owner (the “Designated Shares”):

(i)

to the extent that we are the registered holder of the Designated Shares, to irrevocably appoint the person acting as chairman of any general meeting of the Company as our proxy to exercise our rights to attend, speak and vote as set out below at each general meeting of the Company in respect of the Designated Shares; and

(ii)

to the extent that we are not the registered holder of the Designated Shares, to instruct the registered holder of such Designated Shares and, if applicable, to instruct the broker in whose account such Designated Shares are held to require such registered holder, to irrevocably appoint the person acting as chairman of any general meeting of the Company as its proxy to exercise its rights to attend, speak and vote as set out below at each general meeting of the Company in respect of the Designated Shares.

The Attorney shall direct, or, if applicable, shall instruct the broker in whose account the Designated Shares are held to direct, the registered holder of the Designated Shares to instruct the person acting as chairman of any general meeting of the Company (using a form of proxy approved by the Board of Directors of the Company for such purpose) to vote all Designated Shares on the resolutions proposed at each general meeting of the Company (and any other business which may properly come before the meeting) “For” or “Against” in a manner which reflects the proportion of “For” and “Against” votes cast on each resolution proposed at that general meeting (other than the votes cast in respect of ordinary shares in the Company beneficially owned by us or any of our affiliates).

This power of attorney may only be revoked upon written notice to this effect delivered to the Attorney by us and the Company, but is otherwise irrevocable. However, in accordance with section 5 of the Act, if this power of attorney is revoked and a person, without knowledge of the revocation, deals with the Attorney, the transaction between them shall, in favour of that person, be as valid as if the power had then been in existence. We and the Company hereby agree and hereby notify you that the Power of Attorney dated [date of most recent Power of Attorney] granted to the Attorney with respect to [number of shares subject to most recent Power of Attorney] ordinary shares in the capital of the Company is hereby revoked (the “Revocation”).

We agree and acknowledge that no person or corporation having dealings with the Attorney under this power of attorney shall be under any obligation to make any enquiries as to whether the power to act hereunder has arisen and all voting of Designated Shares done in the lawful and proper exercise of any power conferred by this deed shall be valid and binding upon it.

This power of attorney shall be enforceable by the Attorney pursuant to the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999. Except as set out in the preceding sentence, we do not intend that any term of this power of attorney should be enforceable by any person who is not the Attorney by virtue of the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 or otherwise.

This power of attorney and any claim, dispute or difference (including non-contractual claims, disputes or differences) arising out of or in connection with it or its subject matter shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, English law. We irrevocably agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England to settle any claim, dispute or difference (including non-contractual claims, disputes or differences) arising out of or in connection with this power of attorney or its subject matter (including a dispute regarding the existence, validity, formation, effect, interpretation, performance or termination of this power of attorney) and that accordingly any proceedings be brought in such courts.

It should be understood that we have not been responsible for investigating or verifying the accuracy of any facts or the reasonableness of any statement of opinion or intention contained in or relevant to any Document.

Assumptions

5.	In considering the Documents and for the purpose of rendering this opinion we have with your consent assumed without investigation or verification:

(a)

(c)

that there is no agreement or arrangement which modifies, supersedes or is inconsistent with any Document;

(d)

that each of the statements contained in the Certificate is true and correct as at the date of this opinion;

(e)

the minutes and resolutions referred to in paragraphs 3(g) and 3(h) were validly passed and remain in full force and effect without modification;

(f)

that the Distribution Agreement constitutes valid and binding obligations of each of the parties thereto enforceable under all applicable laws;

(g)

that all consents, approvals, notices, filings, recordations, licences, orders, authorisations, publications, registrations and other similar formalities which are necessary under any applicable laws or regulations in order to permit the execution, performance or enforceability of the Distribution Agreement have been duly made or obtained within the period permitted by such laws or regulations;

(h)

that the Distribution Agreement has been entered into for bona fide commercial reasons and on arm’s length terms by each of the parties thereto, the Distribution Agreement has not been entered into as a result of misrepresentation, mistake, duress or unlawful activity, and there has been no fraud inducing any party to enter into the Distribution Agreement on the terms set out therein;

(i)

the performance of any obligations under the Distribution Agreement that either fall to be performed outside England or that are impacted by applicable local law, is not contrary to applicable local law and there is no local legal requirement that the performance of such obligations by that party needs to be governed by local law;

(j)

that the information revealed by our searches and enquiries of the public documents relating to the Company kept at Companies House in Cardiff, including an online search in respect of the Company on the Companies House Service, and our oral enquiry of the Central Registry of Winding up Petitions referred to in paragraph 6(a) below was accurate in all respects and has not since the time of such searches or enquiries been altered; and

(k)

that the Company will not as a consequence of the transactions contemplated by the Distribution Agreement and the Prospectus Supplement become, insolvent or unable to pay its debts for the purposes of the Insolvency Act 1986 or any other analogous legislation.

Opinion

6.	On the basis of the assumptions set out above and subject to the qualifications set forth below and any matters not disclosed to us and having regard to such considerations of English law as we consider relevant, we are of the opinion that:

(a)

the Company has been incorporated and registered in England and Wales and:

(i)

our enquiry today of the public documents relating to the Company kept at Companies House in Cardiff, including an online search in respect of the Company on the Companies House Service, revealed no order or resolution for the winding up of the Company and no notice of appointment in respect of the Company of a liquidator, receiver, administrative receiver or administrator; and

(ii)

the Central Registry of Winding up Petitions has confirmed in response to our oral enquiry made today that no petition for the winding up of the Company has been presented within the period of six months covered by such enquiry;

(b)

the Company has the requisite legal authority to issue the Offered Shares and the issue of the Offered Shares has been duly authorised by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company; and

(c)

when (i) the Offered Shares have been allotted and issued for consideration as described in the Prospectus Supplement and (ii) valid entries in the books and registers of the Company have been made, the Offered Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable (it being understood that the term “non-assessable” has no recognised meaning under English law, and for the purposes of this opinion means that, under the Companies Act 2006 (as amended), the Articles and any resolution taken under the Articles approving the issuance of the Offered Shares, no holder of such Offered Shares is liable, solely because of such holder’s status as a holder of such Offered Shares, for additional assessments or calls for further funds by the Company or any other person).

Qualifications

7.	The opinions set forth above are subject to the following qualifications:

(a)

the searches and enquiries of the public documents relating to the Company kept at Companies House in Cardiff, including an online search in respect of the Company on the Companies House Service, and our oral enquiry of the Central Registry of Winding up Petitions referred to in paragraph 6(a) above are not conclusively capable of revealing whether or not:

(i)

a winding up petition has been received or a winding up order has been made or a resolution passed for the winding up of the Company; or

(ii)

an administration order has been made in relation to the Company; or

(iii)

a receiver, administrative receiver, administrator or liquidator has been appointed in relation to the Company,

as notice of these matters may not be filed with the Registrar of Companies immediately and, when filed, may not be entered on the public file of the relevant company immediately. Those searches and enquiries are not capable of revealing, prior to the making of the relevant order, whether or not a winding up petition or a petition for an administration order has been presented nor would they reveal if insolvency proceedings have begun elsewhere;

(b)

if any agreement is entered into for a purpose prohibited by sections 678 and 679 of the Companies Act 2006, it will be void;

(c)

this opinion is subject to and may be limited by all applicable laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, administration, liquidation, reorganisation, moratorium or any analogous procedure and other laws of general application relating to or affecting the rights of creditors;

(d)

we express no opinion as to taxation matters; and

(e)

we express no opinion as to whether the Registration Statement or the Prospectus Supplement contains all the information required by applicable law and/or regulation.

We hereby consent to the reference to our firm under the heading “Legal Matters” in the Prospectus Supplement. We also hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Company’s current report on Form 6-K to be filed with the Commission on 3 August 2021, which will be incorporated by reference into and deemed part of the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. This opinion is expressed as of the date of this opinion unless otherwise expressly stated, and we disclaim any undertaking to advise you of any subsequent changes in the facts stated or assumed herein or of any subsequent changes in applicable laws.

Yours faithfully,

/s/ Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP
