3 Company Overview Reservoir Capital is a renewable energy company with over 80 MW of hydroelectric (HPP) and geothermal projects (GPP) under development in Serbia, Bosnia and Montenegro The 59.1 MW Brodarevo HPP in Serbia has a positive feasibility study (completed in June 2012) and is close to being fully permitted to start construction In February 2013 Reservoir was granted a Concession for the MW Cehotina HPP in Bosnia Vranjska Banja GPP in Serbia has a tested 5 MW geothermal resource and potential for MW 3

4 Hydro Power & Europe Clean and renewable, consumes no raw materials High capacity factors (45-55%) compared to wind and solar (20-30%) A safe and proven technology in use for over a century Improves grid stability because of its flexibility and predictability The EU has mandated that 20% of its power will be renewable by 2020 Southeastern Europe has the only significant undeveloped hydropower potential Geographical location of the Balkans at the crossroads between east and west 4

13 Brodarevo Project - Advantages Brodarevo is a run-of-river project, with minimal social and environmental impacts, that will generate clean energy and promote sport and tourism in the Lim valley. The projected 146m capital investment goes to one of the poorest regions of Serbia, with the majority spent with local contractors, creating ~1,000 jobs during the 5-year constructions period. Approximately one third of the investment will be spent on land purchases, new roads and new transmission lines that will be government owned. The infrastructure works include 7.5 km of new public roads and tunnels that will shorten the M-21 by 2km and improve its safety. Project will generate electricity and tax revenues on a long-term basis. 13
