Peer Group Issuers, Footnote For 2023 and 2024, the Peer Group TSR set forth in this table uses the ALPS Clean Energy ETF, which we also use in the stock performance graph required by Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K included in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2024. The comparison assumes $100 was invested for the period starting December 31, 2019, through December 31, 2024 in the Company and in the ALPS Clean Energy ETF, respectively. For 2020, 2021 and 2022, the Peer Group TSR uses the FTSE NAREIT All Equity REIT Index. ALPS Clean Energy ETF is a growing, US-based, well-diversified, mid-cap investor in climate-positive real assets that we believe is well positioned to serve as a peer group index. ALPS Clean Energy ETF is comprised of companies who generally own or operate assets similar to our investments in renewable energy projects as well other companies positively exposed to the energy transition. Historical stock performance is not necessarily indicative of future stock performance.

Additional 402(v) Disclosure
In accordance with rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, we provide the following disclosure regarding executive compensation for our principal executive officer (“PEO”)
and Non-PEO NEOs and Company performance for the fiscal years listed below. The Compensation Committee did not consider the pay versus performance disclosure below in making its pay decisions for any of the years shown.
The amounts shown for Compensation Actually Paid have been calculated in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K and do not reflect compensation actually earned, realized, or received by the Company’s NEOs. These amounts reflect the Summary Compensation Table total with certain adjustments as described in footnote 3 below.

Non-GAAP Measure Description We determined Adjusted EPS to be the most important financial performance measure used to link Company performance to Compensation Actually Paid to our PEO and Non-PEO NEOs in 2024. See Item 7 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed on February 14, 2025, for an explanation of Adjusted Earnings, including a reconciliation to the relevant GAAP measure. This performance measure may not have been the most important financial performance measure for prior years and we may determine a different financial performance measure to be the most important financial performance measure in future years.
