Introduction

Capitalised terms used but not defined in this "Introduction" section and the "Key Information for Intermediaries" section are defined in the Terms and Conditions and mean the same where used in those sections.

VH Global Sustainable Energy Opportunities plc (the "Company") is proposing to undertake an initial public offering ("IPO") of up to 400 million ordinary shares of £0.01 each in the capital of the Company (the "Shares") at £1.00 per Share and admission of the Shares to the premium listing segment of the Official List of the Financial Conduct Authority and to trading on London Stock Exchange’s main market for listed securities ("Admission"). A Prospectus (as defined in the Terms and Conditions) is expected to be published on or around 6 January 2021. It is currently expected that the IPO will include (i) a placing to certain institutional investors in the United Kingdom and elsewhere (the "Placing"); (ii) an offer for subscription to investors in the United Kingdom("UK") (the "Offer for Subscription"); and (iii) an offer of Shares by the intermediary financial institutions (participating on behalf of Retail Investors (defined below)) ("Intermediary" or "Intermediaries") appointed by the Company in the United Kingdom (the "Intermediaries Offer"), together, the "Offer".

Please read this document carefully, as it includes the terms and conditions that your firm is required to accept, without modification and in full, if your firm is to participate as an Intermediary.

This document and the information contained in it are confidential. Whether your firm decides to apply to participate or not, prior to the publication of the Prospectus, you are not permitted to disclose any information about the Offer or to indicate that your firm will be participating as an Intermediary or to solicit or accept any requests for information on or expressions of interest in the Offer from potential Retail Investors. For further details see "Prior to the date of the prospectus" on page 22. The terms and conditions in this Information Booklet set out when and the manner in which you will be authorised to communicate in relation to the Offer in the event that your application is successful. Confidentiality is of the utmost importance. Should you be found not to have complied with the foregoing, this will jeopardise your firm's potential involvement as an Intermediary in the Offer and all other rights are reserved in this regard.

You should also take careful note of the restrictions on advertising and communicating information on the Offer that will be imposed. If your firm wishes to participate as an Intermediary, please check that your firm has the necessary regulatory approvals (see page 16) and complete and return the application form at the back of this document to [email protected] as soon as possible and in accordance with the instructions on the form.

Your firm's application to participate will then be reviewed. Your firm's acceptance as an Intermediary will not be confirmed until you have received an email approving your firm's participation sent by Solid Solutions Associates (UK) Limited in its capacity as Intermediaries Offer Adviser. You must, however, abide strictly by the terms and conditions in this document with immediate effect and on a continuing basis in order to be eligible to be considered for appointment as an Intermediary and not to put any such appointment at risk.

If you have any queries, please contact Nigel Morris either on 07850 825701 or by email: [email protected]

Overseas Persons

Intermediaries may accept applications from individuals located only in the United Kingdom, but only if they are appropriately authorised or regulated to do so. The Prospectus will specify that Retail Investors must comply with all laws and regulations applicable to their agreement to purchase Shares.

Retail Investors that can apply for Shares in the Intermediaries Offer

"Retail Investors" comprise investors in the usual type of the Intermediary's client base, which may include individuals aged 18 years or over, companies and other bodies corporate, partnerships, trusts, associations and other unincorporated organisations.

· Retail Investors may apply to purchase Shares in the Intermediaries Offer through an intermediary. Retail Investors may also make applications that are designated to be made on behalf of an individual aged under 18.

Multiple and Joint Applications

Only one application for Shares may be made for the benefit of any one person in the Intermediaries Offer. Intermediaries may not make multiple applications on behalf of the same Retail Investors. If and when Intermediaries are communicating with any potential Retail Investor they should bring to their attention that multiple applications are not allowed. However, Intermediaries are not obliged to enquire with Retail Investors, or other Intermediaries, as to whether the Retail Investor is applying in the Intermediaries Offer through another Intermediary.

Joint applications are permitted in the Intermediaries Offer.

Prospectus and PRIIPS KID

When the Offer opens, each Intermediary will be sent an electronic (PDF) copy of the Prospectus and PRIIPS KID. The Prospectus and PRIIPS KID supplied will not contain an application form for use in connection with the Intermediaries Offer. The Prospectus may be placed on the Intermediary's Designated Website, if it has one. Intermediaries will be required to ensure that access to the Prospectus and any other information related to the Offer is restricted to persons who confirm that they are physically located in the United Kingdom. In addition, if Intermediaries are requested by the Company and/or the Intermediaries Offer Adviser to include, or provide links, on their Designated Website to any other documents or information relating to the Offer or the Company, each Intermediary shall be required to do so. Intermediaries will be able to request a reasonable number of printed copies of the Prospectus by emailing the Intermediaries Offer Adviser, at [email protected] a minimum of five business days prior to the expected date for publication of the Prospectus.

Authorised Distributor Intermediaries

It is possible for an Intermediary to apply to the Company to be appointed as an authorised distributor Intermediary in connection with the Intermediaries Offer ("Authorised Distributor Intermediary").

An Authorised Distributor Intermediary is an Intermediary which will conduct marketing and promotional activities in connection with the Intermediaries Offer but will rely on another appointed Intermediary (referred to as an "Executing Intermediary") to submit applications for Shares on behalf of Retail Investors procured by that Authorised Distributor Intermediary. Such Retail Investors shall be retail clients of both the Authorised Distributor Intermediary and the Executing Intermediary.

In order for an Intermediary to apply to be appointed as an Authorised Distributor Intermediary, it should first contact the Intermediaries Offer Adviser in order to discuss the requirements of an Authorised Distributor Intermediary and the application procedure to be followed.

Each Authorised Distributor Intermediary and each Executing Intermediary are each "Intermediaries" (as such term is used in the Terms and Conditions). Each Authorised Distributor Intermediary and each Executing Intermediary must comply in full with the Terms and Conditions which apply to all Intermediaries, save that it is acknowledged that applications for Shares in the Intermediaries Offer on behalf of Retail Investors procured by Authorised Distributor Intermediaries will be submitted by the relevant Executing Intermediary. In addition, each Executing Intermediary shall at all times be responsible for the compliance by each of its Authorised Distributor Intermediaries with these Terms and Conditions. Any breach of the Terms and Conditions by an Authorised Distributor Intermediary constitutes both a breach of the Terms and Conditions by that Authorised Distributor Intermediary and also the relevant Executing Intermediary. Further information is set out in the Terms and Conditions.

Applications to the Intermediaries

Retail Investors will be applying for a specific monetary value in Pounds Sterling of Shares at the offer price, being £1.00 per Share (the "Offer Price"). The minimum application per Retail Investor is £1,000.

Each Intermediary will be required to notify by email the Intermediaries Offer Adviser their total demand to date on a daily basis for the last 10 business days of the Offer Period. This information must not be disclosed to any other person.

Application by the Intermediaries

Each Intermediary will submit to Computershare, a single Intermediaries Offer Order Form (as defined in the Terms and Conditions) that aggregates all of that Intermediary's underlying applications from Retail Investors, save that if an Intermediary wants to receive commission in respect of some Retail Investors, a fee and no commission in respect of some Retail Investors and neither commission nor a fee in respect of other Retail Investors then they must complete separate Intermediary Offer Orders.

Only underlying applications from Retail Investors received by Computershare, before the close of the Intermediaries Offer may be included on, or taken into account in, the Intermediaries Offer Order(s).

Full details and deadlines of the application process will be confirmed to Intermediaries on 6 January 2021 when the Offer is expected to open.

Allocation and settlement

The allocation policy for the Intermediaries Offer will be determined solely by the Company (in consultation with the Intermediaries Offer Adviser). Each Intermediary will be required to apply the allocation policy to each of its underlying applications from Retail Investors. The allocation policy will be published and made available to Intermediaries prior to the commencement of dealings in the Shares following the deadline for online entry of Intermediaries Offer Orders.

Along with the allocation policy, each Intermediary will be advised by Computershare of the aggregate number of Shares allocated to it, and the amount payable for those Shares at the Offer Price.

The Intermediary will make payment for the Shares allocated to it, by means of the CREST system, against delivery of the Shares, via a Delivery vs Payment (“DvP”) DEL message in favour of Computershare’s 8RA08 CREST account.

Commissions and Fees

Each Intermediary may choose whether or not to be paid commission and/or a fee by Computershare in connection with the Intermediaries Offer. It should be noted that where an Intermediary gives a Retail Investor a personal recommendation, it is prohibited from receiving commission in relation to any such Retail Investor's application. Furthermore, no firm providing a platform service as defined in the Rules ("Platform Service Provider") may accept or solicit commission in respect of any Retail Investor's application but may be remunerated by platform charges in accordance with the Rules. Consequently, each Intermediary should ensure that separate Intermediaries Offer Orders are submitted in respect of commission, fees and charges/fee- based orders.

Intermediaries electing to be paid commission or fees

If an Intermediary elects to receive a commission and/or fee payment, subject to Admission and subject to the Terms and Conditions, Computershare will pay to that Intermediary either: (i) a commission of 0.5 per cent. of the Allocation Value in cash or Shares; and/or (ii) a payment in connection with, inter alia, the administering of corporate actions and/or advertising in relation to the Intermediaries Offer, equal to such an amount in that respect as is notified by the relevant Intermediary to Computershare prior to the close of the Intermediaries Offer, subject to a cap equal to 0.5 per cent. of the Allocation Value of the Shares allocated to, and paid for by, such Intermediary in the Intermediaries Offer, subject to the rules described below. If an Intermediary elects to receive a commission and/or fee from Computershare, the Intermediary may choose either:

· not to charge Retail Investors any fee or commission for applying on their behalf in the Intermediaries Offer; or

· accept commission and/or fees from Computershare and to charge fees or commission, to the extent permissible by the Rules, to Retail Investors for applying on their behalf in the Intermediaries Offer. However, any such fees or commissions charged to a Retail Investor, when aggregated with the commission and/or fees received from Computershare, must not exceed the lower of (a) 2.5 per cent. of the Allocation Value of the Shares allocated to the relevant Retail Investor and (b) such Intermediary's normal charges that it charges to Retail Investors for services of this nature.

Intermediaries must not pay to any Retail Investor any of the commission and/or fees received from Computershare, save to the extent that Intermediaries are able to in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. However, Intermediaries are permitted to offset any fees or commissions received from Computershare against any amounts of fees or commissions which would be otherwise payable by a Retail Investor to that Intermediary.

Any commission and/or fees to be paid to an Intermediary by Computershare may be withheld in the circumstances described in the Terms and Conditions.

Intermediaries electing or required not to be paid commission and/or fees by Computershare r

If an Intermediary elects or is required not to receive any commission and/or fee payment from Computershare, the Intermediary may charge fees or commissions, to the extent permissible by the Rules, to Retail Investors for applying for Shares in the Intermediaries Offer. However, the aggregate of any such fees and commissions charged to a Retail Investor must not exceed the lower of (a) 2.5 per cent. of the allocation of the Shares allocated to the relevant Retail Investor and (b) such Intermediary's normal charges that it charges to Retail Investors for services of this nature.

Worked Example

For example, a Retail Investor is allocated £1,000 worth of Shares. The Intermediary may:

· accept commission of 0.5 per cent. of the Allocation Value and not charge its Retail Investors anything so the Retail Investor pays no commissions, charges or fees; or

· accept commission of 0.5 per cent. of the Allocation Value and charge its Retail Investors up to 2 per cent. of the Allocation Value, so the fees and commissions charged to the Retail Investor when aggregated with the commission received from Computershare is a total of up to £25 (provided that this amount is not higher than the amount such Intermediary normally charges Retail Investors for services of this nature); or

· accept fee of up to 0.5 per cent. of the Allocation Value and not charge its Retail Investors anything so the Retail Investor pays no charges, fees or commissions; or

· accept fee of up to 0.5 per cent. of the Allocation Value and charge its Retail Investors up to 2.5 per cent. of the Allocation Value, less the percentage fee paid by Computershare so the fees or commissions charged to the Retail Investor when aggregated with the fee received from Computershare is a total of up to £25 (provided that this amount is not higher than the amount such Intermediary normally charges Retail Investors for services of this nature); or

· not accept any commission and/or fees from Computershare and charge its Retail Investors up to 2.5 per cent. of the Allocation Value, so the Retail Investor pays a total of up to £25 (provided that this amount is not higher than the amount such Intermediary normally charges Retail Investors for services of this nature); or

· neither accept any commission and/or any fees from Computershare nor charge its Retail Investors, so the Retail Investor pays no charges, fees or commissions.

General provisions

As used above, the "Allocation Value" is calculated as the product of (i) the final aggregate number of Shares allocated to such Intermediary for allocation to its Retail Investors under the Intermediaries Offer and (ii) the Offer Price of the Shares. Each Intermediary must indicate on their "Application for Appointment as an Intermediary" form whether or not they choose to be paid commission and/or fees by Computershare. If an Intermediary wants to receive commission in respect of some Retail Investors, a fee in respect of some Retail Investors and neither commission nor a fee in respect of other Retail Investors then it must confirm this in advance with Computershare. The Intermediary will then be required to submit one "Application for Appointment as an Intermediary" form to [email protected] and throughout the Offer submit separate Intermediaries Offer Order Forms to Computershare in relation to each.

The Intermediaries Offer Adviser may, in its discretion, following consultation with the Company, agree to satisfy any fee or commission payable to an Intermediary pursuant to the Terms and Conditions in Shares, such Shares to be issued at the Offer Price.

Each Intermediary must ensure that each of its Retail Investors pays the full value of the Shares allocated to that Retail Investor at the Offer Price. This means that Intermediaries are prohibited from selling Shares to Retail Investors at less than the Offer Price.

Intermediaries may charge Retail Investors a fee or commission for holding the allocated Shares for them (including any fees relating to the opening of an Individual Savings Account (or ISA), a Junior Individual Savings Account (or Junior ISA) or a Self-Invested Personal Pension (or SIPP) for that purpose), provided that the Intermediary has disclosed the fees and terms and conditions of providing those services to each Retail Investor prior to the underlying application being made.

The Placing and Offer for Subscription

Firms may choose to apply for Shares in the Placing and the Offer for Subscription, as applicable, instead of, or as well as, in the Intermediaries Offer. Firms should be aware that:

· the Placing will be available to certain institutional investors in the United Kingdom and elsewhere and the Offer for Subscription will be available to investors in the United Kingdom;

· in the Placing and the Offer for Subscription, there will neither be a common allocation policy applied to demand from all retail stockbrokers, nor will there be any commitment given as to the treatment of demand from retail stockbrokers compared with the treatment of demand from other investors; and

· no commission will be paid to any applicant for Shares in respect of any subscriptions pursuant to the Placing and Offer for Subscription.

Firms interested in participating in the Placing and the Offer for Subscription can find out how to do so by emailing the Intermediaries Offer Adviser at [email protected]

No publication of Research Reports relating to the Company

Intermediaries are not permitted at any time to publish Research Reports in connection with the IPO until after Admission. "Research Reports" means any research report (or any information contained in any research report) relating to the Company or the IPO which fall within the scope of "investment research" or "non-independent research" within the meaning of the FCA's Conduct of Business Sourcebook Chapter 12 or which otherwise constitute investment research. In the event that any Research Reports are available to Retail Investors by logging on to an Intermediary's website, such Intermediary must immediately remove such Research Reports until after Admission.

Further information for Intermediaries

Intermediaries may expect to receive the following information at various milestones throughout the process of the Offer. If an Intermediary is appointed as an Intermediary after the relevant milestone has been reached, then all the relevant documents would be provided upon the appointment of that Intermediary being confirmed as an Intermediary.

Documents provided on the date that the Offer is launched to Intermediaries appointed at that time by email:

· Prospectus;

· PRIIPS KID;

· Factsheet; and

· Offer launch press release.

None of the Company, the Investment Adviser, Numis Securities, Computershare or the Intermediaries Offer Adviser, nor any of their respective subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, employees, members or agents (as applicable), is acting for the Intermediary or any Retail Investor in connection with the Intermediaries Offer, nor will treat any Intermediary or any Retail Investor as its client by virtue of an Intermediary's application on behalf of any Retail Investor or otherwise in connection with the Intermediaries Offer. The Intermediaries Offer Adviser will not be responsible for providing the Intermediary or any Retail Investor with any protections afforded to customers of the Intermediaries Offer Adviser, nor will the Company, the Investment Adviser, Numis Securities, Computershare or the Intermediaries Offer Adviser, nor any of their respective subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, employees, members or agents (as applicable) be providing advice to any Intermediary or any Retail Investor.

Each Intermediary acknowledges and agrees that: (i) none of the Company, the Investment Adviser, Numis Securities, Computershare, the Intermediaries Offer Adviser, nor any of their respective subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, employees, members or agents has advised it or any Retail Investor or owes it or any Retail Investor any duties or has any responsibilities to it or any Retail Investor concerning the price of the Shares, the suitability of

the Shares or otherwise in connection with the Intermediaries Offer, the Offer, the Terms and Conditions or any of the arrangements or transaction contemplated thereby; and (ii) it is solely the Intermediaries who owe duties and responsibilities to Retail Investors concerning each of the foregoing set out in (i).

5. Eligibility to be appointed as an Intermediary

In order to be eligible to be considered by the Company for appointment as an Intermediary, each Intermediary must satisfy the following eligibility criteria (the "Eligibility Criteria"). Each Intermediary must be either:

· authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") or the Prudential Regulation Authority (the "PRA") in the UK;

· authorised by a competent authority in another European Economic Area jurisdiction and have validly passported that authorisation into the UK;

· a member firm of the London Stock Exchange plc conducting business in the UK;

and in each case have appropriate permission to act as an Intermediary (which, in the UK, is, at a minimum, the authorisation of the FCA to deal in investments as agent), provided that for Authorised Distributor Intermediaries (see below), the appropriate permission in the UK is, at a minimum, the authorisation of the FCA to making arrangements with a view to transactions in investments.

In addition, each Intermediary must either;

· be a member of the CREST paperless settlement system administered by Euroclear UK & Ireland Limited ("CREST"); or

· if the Intermediary is not a member of CREST, have made arrangements with a clearing firm that is a member of CREST (a "Clearing Firm") to enable such Clearing Firm to process the settlement of orders on behalf of the Intermediary. Such settlement account must be in the name of the Clearing Firm as nominee or in the name of the Intermediary.

Notwithstanding the Eligibility Criteria set out above, each Intermediary must also have (and is solely responsible for ensuring that it has) all licences, consents and approvals necessary to enable it to act as an Intermediary in the United Kingdom.

In addition to the Eligibility Criteria set out above, it is a continuing requirement that each Intermediary shall be, and at all times remain, of good repute and in compliance with all laws, rules and regulations applicable to it (determined by the Company in its sole and absolute discretion). If any Intermediary ceases to be of good repute, the Company shall be entitled to terminate such Intermediary's appointment as an Intermediary pursuant to the section headed "Termination" below.

Prior to any Notice of Appointment being sent to an Intermediary, the Intermediaries Offer Adviser may separately contact the prospective Intermediary to complete any relevant "Know Your Client" procedures. Appointment as an Intermediary is conditional on the satisfactory completion of any such "Know Your Client" procedures.

6. Authorised Distributor Intermediaries

It is possible for an Intermediary to apply to the Company to be appointed as an Authorised Distributor Intermediary in connection with the Intermediaries Offer.

An "Authorised Distributor Intermediary" is an Intermediary which will conduct marketing and promotional activities in connection with the Intermediaries Offer but will rely on another appointed Intermediary (an "Executing Intermediary") to submit applications for Shares on behalf of Retail Investors procured by that Authorised Distributor Intermediary. Such Retail Investors shall be retail clients of both the Authorised Distributor Intermediary and the Executing Intermediary.

In order for an Intermediary to apply to be appointed as an Authorised Distributor Intermediary, it should first contact the Intermediaries Offer Adviser in order to discuss the requirements of an Authorised Distributor Intermediary and the application procedure to be followed.

The appointment by the Company of Authorised Distributor Intermediaries shall at all times be conditional on the continued appointment of the Executing Intermediary as an Intermediary. Therefore, each Intermediary which seeks to apply to be appointed as an Authorised Distributor Intermediary must first agree with the relevant Executing Intermediary that the Executing Intermediary is willing to act in this capacity. In the event that the Executing Intermediary nominated by an Authorised Distributor Intermediary ceases to be appointed as an Intermediary in the Intermediaries Offer, such Authorised Distributor Intermediary must promptly either (i) nominate an alternative Intermediary as an Executing Intermediary or (ii) cease to act as an Authorised Distributor Intermediary in the Intermediaries Offer.

In communicating with Retail Investors, each of the Authorised Distributor Intermediary and the Executing Intermediary must make clear that the Retail Investor is a client of both the Authorised Distributor Intermediary and the Executing Intermediary.

Each Authorised Distributor Intermediary and each Executing Intermediary are "Intermediaries" (as such term is used in the Terms and Conditions). Each Authorised Distributor Intermediary and each Executing Intermediary must comply in full with the Terms and Conditions which apply to all Intermediaries, save that it is acknowledged that applications for Shares in the Intermediaries Offer on behalf of Retail Investors procured by Authorised Distributor Intermediaries will be submitted by the relevant Executing Intermediary.

In addition, the Executing Intermediary shall at all times be responsible for the compliance by each of its Authorised Distributor Intermediaries with these Terms and Conditions. Any breach of the Terms and Conditions by an Authorised Distributor Intermediary constitutes both a breach of the Terms and Conditions by that Authorised Distributor Intermediary and also the relevant Executing Intermediary.

Any commission and/or fee paid by Computershare in connection with applications for Shares in the Intermediaries Offer shall be paid only to the Executing Intermediary. Neither the Company, Computershare, nor the Intermediaries Offer Adviser shall concern itself with, or have any responsibility for, any commission or fee arrangements which may be made between an Authorised Distributor Intermediary and an Executing Intermediary. For the avoidance of doubt, the right of the Intermediaries Offer Adviser to withhold commissions and fees payable to an Executing Intermediary applies both in relation to breaches of the Terms and Conditions by that Executing Intermediary and also each Authorised Distributor Intermediary of such Executing Intermediary.

7. Consent to being named as a financial intermediary

Each Intermediary consents to being named as a financial intermediary participating in the Intermediaries Offer in the Prospectus and in any offering documents, press releases, advertisements, publications, financial promotions, websites or other documents published by or on behalf of the Company, the Investment Adviser, Numis Securities, Computershare and/or the Intermediaries Offer Adviser (each a "Publication").

Each Intermediary confirms that the contents of its Application for Appointment are true and correct in all respects and that its legal name, trading name (if applicable), registered address, office address and website may be included in any Publication.

8. Authorisation to use the Prospectus

The Prospectus will state that the Company has authorised each Intermediary to use the Prospectus during the period that the Intermediaries Offer is open for acceptance by Retail Investors. This is subject always to compliance with these Terms and Conditions and the appointment of such Intermediary not having been terminated by the Company.

9. Distribution of electronic and printed copies of the Prospectus

When the Offer opens, each Intermediary will be sent an electronic (PDF) copy of the full Prospectus and key information document relating to the Shares (the "PRIIPs KID") required by Regulation (EU) No. 1286/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council on Key Information Documents for Packaged Retail and Insurance-based Investment Products (the "PRIIPs Regulation") produced by Victory Hill Capital Advisors LLP in accordance with the requirements of the PRIIPs Regulation. The Prospectus and the PRIIPS KID should be placed on the Intermediary's Designated Website (as defined below), if it has one. Intermediaries will be required to ensure that access to these documents and any other information related to the Offer is restricted to persons who confirm that they are physically located in the United Kingdom. In addition, if Intermediaries are requested by the Company the Investment Adviser, or Numis Securities to include, or provide links, on their Designated Website to any other documents or information relating to the Offer, the Company, the Investment Adviser, and/or Numis Securities, each Intermediary shall be required to do so.

If a Retail Investor asks an Intermediary for a copy of the Prospectus and/or the PRIIPS KID in printed form, that Intermediary must send (in hard copy or via an email attachment or web link) such Prospectus and/or the PRIIPS KID to that Retail Investor at the expense of that Intermediary. Intermediaries will be able to request a reasonable number of printed copies of the Prospectus by emailing the Intermediaries Offer Adviser, at [email protected] a minimum of five business days prior to the expected date for publication of the Prospectus.

Intermediaries must not send the Prospectus or the PRIIPs KID (by any medium) to any person outside the United Kingdom, and specifically must not send the Prospectus or the PRIIPs KID (by any medium) to any person in the United States.

10. Acceptance of new Retail Investors

The Website will contain a list of participating Intermediaries which will provide the names of the Intermediaries and links to their respective website addresses.

In respect of any new Retail Investors, each Intermediary:

· confirms that the fees and charges to be charged by that Intermediary related to the Intermediaries Offer are the same as they normally charge. Intermediaries are not permitted to have different scales of fees and charges for holding and dealing in the Shares as opposed to their normal scales of fees and charges; and

· must take on as new clients any Retail Investor physically located in the United Kingdom who passes such Intermediary's usual and customary screening procedures for the acceptance of new clients.

11. Intermediary's responsibility for information and communications

Any relevant communications concerning any aspect of the Offer, including the Intermediaries Offer, issued by the Intermediary (or on its behalf) shall be the sole responsibility of the Intermediary and must comply with these Terms and Conditions and all relevant laws and regulations. Intermediaries must not send (by any medium) any advertising materials or other communications relating to the Offer (including the Prospectus, the PRIIPS KID or any other document provided to the Intermediary by the Company, the Investment Adviser, Numis Securities or the Intermediaries Offer Adviser) outside of the United Kingdom.

12. Intermediary's Designated Website

Each Intermediary may include details of the Offer on their website. Each Intermediary may host just a banner on their home page of its Designated Website and if such information is restricted to "VH Global Sustainable Energy Opportunities plc: Intermediaries Offer" and a contact telephone number then there are no further requirements for the contents of such banner.

An Intermediary may host further information on their website, such website being a website that is hosted in the United Kingdom and only targets the market of the United Kingdom (in relation to such Intermediary, each a "Designated Website"). Following the publication of the Prospectus, such Intermediary may advertise on its Designated Website the fact that it has been appointed as an Intermediary in connection with the Intermediaries Offer and direct interested parties to further information about the Intermediaries Offer set out on further web pages within its Designated Website, provided that in order to be able to navigate to such further web pages, interested parties must be required to accept the web gateway disclaimer which includes confirmation that they are physically located in the United Kingdom as set out in Appendix 1 to the Information Booklet ("Web Gateway Disclaimer").

An Intermediary should include in its "Application for Appointment" form the address of its own website on which such Intermediary may publish any information in connection with the Offer or the Intermediaries Offer.
