Offering Circular (Subject to
Completion)
Dated [ ], 2026
This Offering Circular Follows the Form 1-A Disclosure Format
Energea Portfolio 4 USA LP (the "Company", "us", "we", "our" and
similar terms) is a limited partnership organized under the laws of
Delaware to invest in the acquisition, development, and operation of
solar energy projects in the United States (each a "Project").
The Company may also lend money to Development Companies and use solar
projects as collateral rather than acquiring Projects for direct
ownership (each a "Loan"). The Company's day-to-day operations
are managed by Energea Global LLC (the "General Partner" and
together with its affiliates "Energea Global").
The Company is currently offering up to $50.0 million in limited
partnership interests designated as "Class A Investor Shares"
(the "Offering") pursuant to Regulation A ("Regulation A")
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").
The Class A Investor Shares are offered at a fixed price of $1.10 per
Class A Investor Share. The minimum initial investment is $100.
There is currently no established secondary market for the Class A
Investor Shares, and Investors may not be able to sell their Class A
Investor Shares. While Investors should view an investment in the
Company as long-term, the Company offers a Redemption Plan in order
to provide Investors with an opportunity to obtain liquidity. See
Securities Being Offered: The Class A Investor Shares-Summary of LP
Agreement and Authorizing Resolution-Redemption Plan and Risk
Factors-No Market for the Class A Investor Shares; Limits on
Transferability.
Investors may not be able to sell their Class A Investor Shares
except by submitting a Redemption Request to the Company through our
General Partner's website, www.energea.com (the
"Platform"). Pursuant to the Redemption Plan, Investors must hold their Class
A Investor Shares for at least 60 days before they can request
redemption of their Class A Investor Shares via the Platform; if the
General Partner agrees to honor a Redemption Request, the Company
has 90 days to make payment on such redemption; and the General
Partner may, in its sole discretion, amend, suspend, or terminate
the Redemption Plan at any time without prior notice. Additionally,
Class A Investor Shares may not be transferred without the Company's
consent, which can be withheld in its sole discretion, and the
General Partner has a right of first refusal to purchase any Class A
Investor Shares proposed to be transferred. See Redemption Plan and
Risk Factors-No Market for the Class A Investor Shares.
Investors should note that the General Partner may decide to
sell the Projects or the Company at any time. Should the
General Partner decide to sell
the Company, Investors could be forced to sell their Class A
Investor Shares at the direction of the
General Partner. See Drag-Along
Right.
The purchase of these securities involves a high degree of risk.
Before investing, you should read this entire Offering Circular and
exhibits hereto, including Risk Factors.

forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this Offering
Circular and the risk that actual results will differ materially
from the expectations expressed in this Offering Circular will
increase with the passage of time. We undertake no obligation to
publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements after the
date of this Offering Circular, whether because of new information,
future events, changed circumstances or any other reason.
Considering the significant uncertainties inherent in the
forward-looking statements included in this Offering Circular,
including, without limitation, those named above and those named
under Risk Factors, the inclusion of such forward-looking statements
should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person
that the objectives and plans set forth in this Offering Circular
will be achieved.

Energea Portfolio 4 USA LP (the "Company") is a limited
partnership organized under the laws of Delaware. The Company has
elected to be taxed as a "C" corporation for United States federal and
state income tax purposes. The Company's day-to-day operations are
managed by Energea Global LLC (the "General Partner").
The Company was created to invest in the acquisition, development, and
operations of solar energy projects in the United States (each a
"Project"). The Projects will sell power and, in some cases,
environmental commodities, to offtakers (we collectively refer to
offtakers of electricity and environmental commodities as
"Customers") who purchase the power or the environmental
commodities under long-term contracts. The Company may also lend money
to Development Companies (which we collectively refer to as
"Borrowers") and use solar projects as collateral rather than
acquiring Projects for direct ownership (each a "Loan").
To date, the Projects and Loans have produced a stable and predictable
stream of cash flow from Customers and Borrowers. As the Company earns
revenue, it uses the revenue to pay for operating expenses (see
Our Operating Expenses) and distributes the remaining cash to the
holders of our Class A Investor Shares (our "Investors"), our Reg
D Investors (as such term is defined herein and together with the
Investors, the "Limited Partners") and the holders of our Common
Shares (which is currently the General Partner). See
Company Operations and Other Matters.
Projects are currently owned by special-purpose entities (each, a
"SPE"). Each SPE is organized as a U.S. limited liability
company. Generally speaking, under U.S. law, the assets and liabilities
of different legal entities are distinct. Thus, the liabilities of a
Project held in one SPE should not affect the assets of another Project
held in a different SPE.
The Company is offering up to $50.0 million of Class A Investor Shares
pursuant to Regulation A. The proceeds of our Offering will be used to
construct and/or acquire Projects and to issue Loans.
We are offering to sell, and seeking offers to buy, the shares only
in jurisdictions where such offers and sales are permitted. You
should rely only on the information contained in this Offering
Circular. We have not authorized anyone to provide you with any
information other than the information contained in this Offering
Circular. The information contained in this Offering Circular is
accurate only as of its date, regardless of the time of its delivery
or of any sale or delivery of our securities. Neither the delivery
of this Offering Circular nor any sale or delivery of our securities
shall, under any circumstances, imply that there has been no change
in our affairs since the date of this offering circular. This
offering circular will be updated and made available for delivery to
the extent required by the federal securities laws.
The Company generates cash flow in five ways: (i) payments from
Projects, (ii) payments from Loans (iii) Liquidated Damages from
Construction Agreements, (iv) Net Proceeds from Capital Transactions,
and (v) returns from investments (for example, interest gained from a
money market savings account from cash-on-hand) ("Company Investments"). Cash flow will first be used to pay operating costs and expenses,
including Fees and reimbursements payable to our General Partner (see
Our Operating Expenses). The remaining cash flow, if any, is
distributed to the Limited Partners at the discretion of the General
Partner (see Distributions).
Be advised that only proceeds on the interest, and not on the repayment
of the principal, which the Company receives from Loans and returns from
Company Investments will be eligible for distribution. Repayment of
principal of either Loans or Company Investments will not be eligible to
be distributed to the Limited Partners and will be available for
investment by the Company, in the General Partner's sole discretion.
Page 3
See Compensation of General Partner and Distributions for
more detailed information regarding Fees and distributions payable to
the General Partner.
Investors have no voting rights.
CAUTION: ALTHOUGH THE CASH FLOW FROM OUR PROJECTS AND LOANS WILL LARGELY
BE ESTABLISHED BY CONTRACT IN ADVANCE, THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT OUR
PROJECTS OR LOANS WILL GENERATE ANY POSITIVE CASH FLOW.
BUYING CLASS A INVESTOR SHARES IS SPECULATIVE AND
INVOLVES SIGNIFICANT RISK, INCLUDING THE RISK THAT INVESTORS COULD LOSE
SOME OR ALL OF THEIR MONEY. THIS SECTION DESCRIBES SOME OF THE MOST
SIGNIFICANT FACTORS THAT THE COMPANY BELIEVES MAKE AN INVESTMENT IN THE
CLASS A INVESTOR SHARES RISKY. THE ORDER IN WHICH THESE FACTORS ARE
DISCUSSED IS NOT INTENDED TO SUGGEST THAT SOME FACTORS ARE MORE
IMPORTANT THAN OTHERS.
You should carefully consider the following risk factors in
conjunction with the other information contained in this offering
circular before purchasing the CLASS A INVESTOR SHARES.
Risks Associated with Renewable Energy Projects: The market for
renewable energy is changing rapidly. If renewable technology proves
unsuitable for widespread commercial deployment or if demand for
renewable energy products, especially solar energy products, fails to
develop sufficiently, our Projects and Loans might not be able to
generate enough revenues to achieve and sustain profitability. The
factors influencing the widespread adoption of renewable energy
technology include but are not limited to: cost-effectiveness of
renewable energy technologies as compared with conventional
technologies; performance and reliability of renewable energy products
as compared with conventional energy products; and the success of other
enabling technologies such as battery storage and Distributed Energy
Resource Management Systems ("DERMS").
The Investment Environment May Change Over Time: The
Company's investment in the Projects and Loans is intended to extend
over a period of years, during which the business, economic, political,
regulatory, and technology environment within which the Company operates
may undergo substantial changes, some of which may be adverse to the
Company. The General Partner will have the exclusive right and authority
(within limitations set forth in the LP Agreement) to determine the
manner in which the Company shall respond to such changes, and Limited
Partners generally will have no right to withdraw from the
Company or to demand specific modifications to the Company's operations
in consequence thereof. A major recession or adverse developments in the
securities or credit markets might have an impact on the Company's
investments in the Projects and Loans. In addition, factors specific to
the Projects and Loans may have an adverse effect on the Company.
Changes in the Solar Investment Tax Credit Could Adversely Affect Our
Business:
The Solar Investment Tax Credit ("ITC"), which is administered by
the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"), allows qualified applicants
to claim an amount equal to 20% of the eligible cost basis for
qualifying solar energy property. Any changes to the laws or IRS
guidance regarding ITC could materially and adversely affect our
business and financial results. Moreover, the legislative agenda in
Washington remains fluid, with the proposed "Big Beautiful Bill"
signaling potential structural changes to the ITC framework and other
key federal incentives. These developments are already causing some
project sponsors to delay financial closes or rework underwriting
assumptions and may ultimately slow the pace of greenfield development
over the coming quarters.
Net Losses: We are currently incurring net
losses and may continue incurring net losses in the future. If our
operating expenses exceed our expectations, our financial performance
could be adversely affected. If our revenue does not grow to offset
these increased expenses, we may never become profitable. In future
periods, we may not have any revenue growth, or our revenue could
decline.
Page 4
Distributions to Investors: Whether to distribute operating cash
flow or capital proceeds and how much to distribute, is at the sole
discretion of the General Partner. No returns are guaranteed, and
Investors will receive distributions only if the Company generates
distributable cash flow from the Projects and Loans. Investors will not
have any recourse in the event we are unable to pay distributions.
Because we have not made any profit to date and have no current or
accumulated earnings and profits, such cash, any such distributions to
Investors will be considered a return of capital for U.S. federal income
tax purposes to the extent that the distributions do not exceed the
adjusted tax basis of the U.S. Holder's Class A Investor Shares. See
Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Result
of Operation-Distributions.
Distributions Generally: Our ability to achieve our investment
objectives and to pay distributions depends upon the performance of our
General Partner in the acquisition of our Projects and Loans and the
ability of our General Partner to source investment opportunities for
us. In the event we are unable to timely locate suitable investments, we
may be unable or limited in our ability to pay distributions, and we may
not be able to meet our investment objectives. If we pay distributions
from sources other than our cash flow from Projects and Loans, we will
have less funds available for investments and your overall return will
be reduced.
Competition: There are many solar developers actively acquiring
solar projects in the United States. Some of which are multi-national
independent power producers (such as Brookfield and NextEra). In
addition to these large established players, there are several smaller
developers the Company views as direct competition. Aggressive pricing
by competitors or the entrance of new competitors could reduce the
Company's profitability and ability to acquire and develop Projects or
to issue high-quality Loans.
Our Customers and/or Borrowers Might Default: The Company will
have a variety of Customers and Borrowers, including businesses, utility
companies, municipalities and schools. Some Customers could default. A
default would hurt the Project in question financially, reducing the
anticipated returns to Investors. Customers and Borrowers may face
intense competition, changing business and economic conditions, risks of
technological acceptance and obsolescence or other developments that may
adversely affect their ability to pay. Within the limitations set forth
in the LP Agreement, the General Partner will have the right and
authority to cause the Company's investment management and liquidation
strategies and procedures to deviate from those described in this
Offering Circular.
We Might Own Only a Small Number of Projects: If the Company is
successful in raising the current maximum offering amount of $50.0
million in this Offering, the Company would likely acquire or invest in
between 10 and 20 Projects. If the Company raises significantly less
than the maximum offering amount, it may not be able to invest in as
many Projects. If the Company owns only a small number of Projects,
Investors will be exposed to greater concentration risk.
Possible Changes in Governmental Policies: The Projects depend
on both state and federal level energy policies. These policies could
expire, phase-out over time, require renewal by the applicable
authority, or become a victim of political pressure. The U.S. government
and many states have instituted several changes to their policies over
the past several years. Some of those changes have positively affected
our business while others have had a negative impact. The new policies
could disfavor solar projects in general and our Projects in particular.
Delays in Connecting to Power Grid: The
Projects must be physically connected to the power grid, a process that
involves sophisticated engineering and government regulation. Delays are
not uncommon. For example, the utility involved might be required to
perform physical upgrades to allow for the safe and consistent
generation, distribution, and/or transmission of electricity from a
Project to the grid. Delays in the performance of the interconnecting
utility's obligations to make such grid upgrades can negatively impact
the financial performance of the Company.
Operational Risks: The Projects are subject
to operating and technical risks, including risk of mechanical
breakdown, failure to perform according to design specifications, labor
and other work interruptions and other unanticipated events that
adversely affect operations. The success of each Project, once built,
depends in part upon efficient operations and maintenance.
Page 5
Construction and Development Risks: In some
cases, the Company will invest in Projects before construction is
complete. Construction of any kind involves risk, including labor
unrest, bad weather, design flaws, the unavailability of materials,
fluctuations in the cost of materials, and labor shortages. Delays are
common, which could adversely affect the economics of the Company.
Equipment Supply Constraints: The
construction of renewable energy facilities relies on the availability
of certain equipment that may be in limited supply, such as solar
modules, trackers, inverters and monitoring systems. Much of this
equipment comes from China. There is no guarantee that the production of
this equipment will match demand and this may adversely impact the
ability to construct and the cost of the Projects.
Finding Credible Development Companies and Projects: Attracting
and retaining relationships with Development Companies who can originate
Projects with quality Customers is critical to the success of the
Company (see Investment Strategy). If we are unable to acquire a
large enough volume of quality Projects, our revenues may be lower than
projected.
Risks Upon Disposition of Investments: If the Company sells a
Project, it might be required to make representations about the business
and financial affairs of the Project, and to indemnify the purchaser if
those representations prove to be inaccurate or misleading. These
arrangements may result in contingent liabilities.
Regulatory Risks: The Projects will be
subject to extensive regulatory requirements, including those imposed by
U.S. environmental, safety, labor and other regulatory and political
authorities. These regulatory requirements may impose substantial costs
on the Projects or an SPE. Further, should any Project or SPE fail to
comply with one or more regulatory requirements, it could result in
substantial fines and penalties or a shutdown of the Project or
SPE.
Unavailability of Insurance Against Certain Catastrophic Losses:
Certain losses of a catastrophic nature, such as earthquakes, wars,
terrorist attacks or other similar events, may be either uninsurable or
insurable at such high rates that to maintain such coverage would cause
an adverse impact on the related Project. As a result, not all Projects
may be insured against all possible risks. If a major uninsured loss
occurs, the Company could lose both the amount it invested in and
anticipated profits from the affected Projects.
Potential Environmental Liability: The
Projects, like any large-scale physical plant, could cause environmental
contamination under some circumstances. Further, the SPE could be found
liable for environmental contamination that occurred before the Project
was built. The cost of remediation and penalties could be very large.
Liability for Personal Injury and Damage to Property: The
Company could be held liable for accidents and injuries at the Project
site. The SPE will carry insurance to protect against the potential
losses, but the insurance might not be adequate.
Global or National Economic Conditions: An economic slowdown the
U.S. or globally could affect our Customers and /or Borrowers and
therefore our Projects, Loans and Company Investments.
No Participation in Management: Investors
will have no voting rights and no right to participate in the management
of the Company or the Projects. Instead, the General Partner will make
all decisions. You will have the ability to replace our management team
only under very limited circumstances, as described in
Summary of LP Agreement and Authorizing Resolution.
Page 6
Reliance on Management: The success of the
Company and its Projects will depend in part on the skills of our
General Partner and its management team. If our General Partner fails to
retain its key personnel, the Company and its Investors could suffer.
Sale of Other Securities: The Company could,
at any time, sell classes of Company shares other than those being
offered by this Offering, for example, in a private placement
(including, but not limited to, the sale of Reg D Shares). A different
class of securities could have greater rights than those associated with
the Class A Investor Shares, including but not limited to preferential
rights to distributions.
Limitations on Rights in Investment Agreements:
To purchase Class A Investor Shares, you are required to sign an
investment agreement, in one of the forms attached hereto depending on
your preferred method of investment, which shall either be the choice
to (i) make a one-time purchase of Class A Investor Shares, (ii) make
an initial purchase of Class Investor Shares, followed by subsequent
of purchases of Class A Investor Shares over a periodic basis or (iii)
make an initial purchase of Class A Investor Shares, followed by
subsequent purchases of Class A Investor Shares using the proceeds of
distributions received from the Company (such investment agreements,
the "Investment Agreements"). The Investment Agreements will
limit your rights in several important ways if you believe you have
claims against us arising from the purchase of your Class A Investor
Shares:
·
Any claims arising from your purchase of Class A Investor Shares must
be brought in the state or federal courts located in Wilmington,
Delaware, which might not be convenient to you.
·
You would not be entitled to recover any lost profits or special,
consequential, or punitive damages. However, that limitation does not
apply to claims arising under Federal securities laws.
Following your initial purchase of Class A Investor Shares, you may to
continue to participate in this Offering by electing to either (i)
establish with the Company, a plan for you to automatically invest in
the Offering on a periodic basis, subject to the terms of an Auto-Invest
Agreement signed by you and the Company or (ii) to reinvest the
distributions you receive from your Class A Investor Shares into the
purchase of additional Class A Investor Shares, subject to the terms and
conditions of the applicable Investment Agreement, signed by you and the
Company.
General Partner's Drag-Along Rights: The General Partner
may decide to sell the Projects or the Company at any time. Should the
General Partner decide to sell the Company, Investors could be forced to
sell their Class A Investor Shares at the direction of the General
Partner according to the General Partner's drag-along rights granted to
them in the LP Agreement (see
Summary of LP Agreement and Authorizing Resolution).
Forum Selection Provision: Our Investment Agreements and our LP
Agreement both provide that disputes will be handled solely in the state
or federal courts located in the state of Delaware. We included this
provision primarily because (i) the Company is organized under Delaware
law, (ii) Delaware courts have developed significant expertise and
experience in corporate and commercial law matters and
investment-related disputes (which typically involve very complex legal
questions), particularly with respect to alternative entities (such as
LPs), and have developed a reputation for resolving disputes in these
areas in an efficient manner, and (iii) Delaware has a large and
well-developed body of case law in the areas of corporate and
alternative entities law and investment-related disputes, providing
predictability and stability for the Company and its Investors. This
provision could be unfavorable to an Investor to the extent a court in a
different jurisdiction would be more likely to find in favor of an
Investor or be more geographically convenient to an Investor. It is
possible that a judge would find this provision unenforceable and allow
an Investor to file a lawsuit in a different jurisdiction.
Section 27 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") provides that Federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction over
lawsuits brought under the Exchange Act, and that such lawsuits may be
brought in any Federal district where the defendant is found or is an
inhabitant or transacts business. Section 22 of the Securities Act
provides that Federal courts have concurrent jurisdiction with State
courts over lawsuits brought under the Securities Act, and that such
lawsuits may be brought in any Federal district where the defendant is
found or is an inhabitant or transacts business. Investors cannot waive
our (or their) compliance with federal securities laws. Hence, to the
extent the forum selection provisions of the Investment Agreements or
the LP Agreement conflict with these Federal statutes, the Federal
statutes would prevail.
Page 7
Waiver of Right to Jury Trial: The Investment
Agreements and the LP Agreement both provide that legal claims will be
decided only by a judge, not by a jury. The provision in the LP
Agreement will apply not only to an Investor who purchases Class A
Investor Shares in the Offering, but also to anyone who acquires Class A
Investor Shares in secondary trading. Having legal claims decided by a
judge rather than by a jury could be favorable or unfavorable to the
interests of an owner of Class A Investor Shares, depending on the
parties and the nature of the legal claims involved. It is possible that
a judge would find the waiver of a jury trial unenforceable and allow an
owner of Class A Investor Shares to have his, her, or its legal claim
decided by a jury. In any case, the waiver of a jury trial in both the
Investment Agreements and the LP Agreement do not apply to claims
arising under the federal securities laws.
Conflicts of Interest: The interests of the
Company and the General Partner could conflict with the interests of
Investors in a number of ways, including:
·
Our General Partner and its officers perform similar roles for other
entities that are affiliated with the General Partner and are not
required to devote all of their time and effort to the Company and are
only required to devote such time to our affairs as their duties
require.
·
Our General Partner will receive Fees based, in part, on the amount of
cash flow the Company generates. The
General Partner might, therefore, have an incentive to raise more
capital and invest in more Projects and Loans than
they would otherwise, leading them to invest in borderline Projects and
Loans.
·
The entire business of the General Partner consists of investing in
solar projects, including solar projects in the United States. There
could be conflicts between Projects they decide to invest in through the
Company and projects they invest in through other vehicles.
Risk of Failure to Comply with Securities Laws: The Offering
relies on an exemption from registration with the SEC pursuant to
Regulation A. If the Offering did not qualify for exemption from
registration under the Securities Act, the Company could be subject to
penalties imposed by the federal government and state regulators, as
well as to lawsuits from Investors.
We may be subject to claims for recission or damages from our
Investors.
Through December 26, 2023, a prior offering sold 2,777,601 Class A
Investor Shares and raised approximately $2,911,000 in capital (the "Prior Offering"). During the Prior Offering, we may not have been eligible for an
exemption from registration under the Securities Act for certain sales
of Class A Investor Shares because we did not file a post-qualification
amendment on at least an annual basis with updated financial statements
as required by Rules 251(d)(3)(i)(F) and 252(f)(2)(i) of Regulation A,
and because of the at-the-market prohibition in Rule 251(d)(3)(ii) of
Regulation A. Unless another exemption from registration under the
Securities Act is available for these sales, we may be subject to claims
for recission or damages for sales of up to $1,840,517 of Class A
Investor Shares that were made following the first anniversary of the
initial qualification of the Prior Offering
No Market for the Class A Investor Shares; Limits on
Transferability:
There is currently no established market for the Class A Investor
Shares. An Investor who wishes to sell or otherwise transfer their Class
A Investor Shares may be limited because:
·
There will be no established market for the Class A Investor Shares,
meaning the Investor could have a hard time finding a buyer for its
shares.
·
Although the Company offers a Redemption Plan, there is no guarantee
that an Investor who wants to sell his, her, or its Class A Investor
will be able to do so.
·
Class A Investor Shares may not be transferred without the Company's
consent, which we can withhold in our sole discretion. The Company also
has a right of first refusal to purchase any Class A Investor Shares
proposed to be transferred.
Page 8
Our General Partner reserves the right to reject any Redemption Request
for any reason or no reason or to amend or terminate the Redemption Plan
without prior notice. Therefore, you may not have the opportunity to
make a Redemption Request prior to a potential termination of the
Redemption Plan and you may not be able to sell any of your Class A
Investor Shares back to the Company pursuant to the Redemption Plan.
Moreover, if you do sell your Class A Investor Shares back to the
Company pursuant to the Redemption Plan, you may not receive the same
price you paid for the Class A Investor Shares being redeemed. In
addition, pursuant to our Redemption Plan, an Investor may only (a) have
one outstanding Redemption Request at any given time and (b) request
that we redeem up to $50,000 worth of Class A Investor Shares per each
Redemption Request. For more information regarding the Redemption Plan
see Redemption Plan.
"Best efforts-no minimum" offering. The Offering is a "best
efforts" basis and does not require a minimum amount to be raised. This
means that any investment made could be the only investment in this
Offering, leaving the Company without adequate capital to pursue its
business plan. If we are not able to raise sufficient funds, we may not
be able to fund our investment strategy as planned, and our growth
opportunities may be materially adversely affected. This could increase
the likelihood that an investor may lose their entire investment.
Corporate Governance Risk: As a non-listed company conducting an
exempt offering pursuant to Regulation A, the Company is not subject to
a number of corporate governance requirements that an issuer conducting
a registered offering or listed on a national stock exchange would be.
For example, the Company does not have (i) a board of directors of which
a majority consists of "independent" directors under the listing
standards of a national stock exchange, (ii) an audit committee composed
entirely of independent directors and a written audit committee charter
meeting a national stock exchange's requirements, (iii) a
nominating/corporate governance committee composed entirely of
independent directors and a written nominating/corporate governance
committee charter meeting a national stock exchange's requirements, (iv)
a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors and
a written compensation committee charter meeting the requirements of a
national stock exchange, and (v) independent audits of the Company's
internal controls.
The Company is an "Emerging Growth Company" Under the JOBS Act: Today, the Company qualifies as an "emerging growth company" under the
JOBS Act of 2012. If the Company were to become a public company (e.g.,
following a registered offering of its securities) and continued to
qualify as an emerging growth company, it would be able to take
advantage of certain exemptions from the reporting requirements under
the Exchange Act and exemptions from certain investor protection
measures under the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002. Using these exemptions
could benefit the Company by reducing compliance costs but could also
mean that Investors receive less information and fewer protections than
they would otherwise. However, these exemptions - and the status of the
Company as an "emerging growth company" in the first place - will not be
relevant unless and until the Company becomes a public reporting
company.
The Company has elected to delay complying with any new or revised
financial accounting standard until the date that a company that is not
an "issuer" (as defined under Section 2(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of
2002) is required to comply with such new or revised accounting
standard, if such standard also applies to companies that are not
issuers. As a result, owners of Class A Investor Shares might not
receive the same disclosures as if the Company had not made this
election.
For example, because we are an emerging growth company, you will not be
able to depend on any attestation from our independent registered public
accounting firm as to our internal control over financial reporting for
the foreseeable future. Our independent registered public accounting
firm will not be required to attest to the effectiveness of our internal
control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act until the later of the year following our first
annual report required to be filed with the Commission or the date we
are no longer an "emerging growth company" as defined in the JOBS Act.
Accordingly, you will not be able to depend on any attestation
concerning our internal control over financial reporting from our
independent registered public accounting firm for the foreseeable
future.
Breaches of Security: It is possible that our
Platform, systems or the systems of third-party service providers could
be "hacked," leading to the theft or disclosure of confidential
information Investors provide to us. Because techniques used to obtain
unauthorized access or to sabotage systems change frequently and
generally are not recognized until they are launched, the Company,
General Partner and our service providers may be unable to anticipate
these techniques or to implement adequate defensive measures.
Page 9
Unanticipated changes in our tax laws that may impact us, the enactment
of new tax legislation, or exposure to additional income tax liabilities
could affect our profitability: We are obligated to comply with income
tax laws in the regions where we operate, including recent changes like
the Inflation Reduction Act. These evolving tax regulations could impact
our financial health. We also face potential tax audits that may result
in additional tax assessments, with uncertain outcomes. Changes to our
effective tax rate, driven by shifts in our operational structure, could
have significant effects on our financial well-being.
The price of Class A Investor Shares was determined by our General
Partner (see Price of Class A Investor Shares). The Company sells
shares to raise capital for the purchase and construction of Projects
and to issue Loans. As new Investors purchase Class A Investor Shares
(or other classes of stock, see Other Concurrent Offerings),
existing Investors may be temporarily diluted until new Projects are
acquired and/or constructed and new Loans are originated and contribute
to monthly cash flow. Cash in treasury may be invested into Company
Investments to optimize yield and minimize the dilution impact. Such
Company Investments will not earn as high of a return as we expect to
earn on our investments in Projects and Loans.
Additionally, we may in the future offer additional classes and/or
series of Investor Shares (such as in the Reg D Offering) or other
securities convertible into or exchangeable for such class or series of
Investor Shares. Although no assurances can be given that we will
consummate a financing, in the event we do, or in the event we sell
additional classes and/or series of Investor Shares (such as in the Reg
D Offering) or other securities convertible into shares of our Class A
Investor Shares in the future, additional and substantial dilution will
occur. In addition, investors purchasing Class A Investor Shares
or other securities in the future could have rights superior to Class A
Investor Shares Investors in this Offering. Subsequent offerings at a
lower price (a "down round") could result in additional dilution.
The Company is offering to sell up to $50,000,000 of Class A Investor
Shares to the public. As of June 1, 2026, the Company had authorized
2,000,000,000 Class A Investor Shares, of which approximately 8,790,063
Class A Investor Shares were issued and outstanding, and approximately
1,991,209,937 Class A Investor Shares remained authorized but unissued.
This Offering is being conducted as a continuous offering pursuant to
Rule 251(d)(3) of Regulation A, meaning that while the offering of
securities is continuous, active sales of securities may happen
sporadically over the term of the Offering. Further, the acceptance of
subscriptions, whether via the Platform or otherwise, may be briefly
paused at times to allow us to effectively and accurately process and
settle subscriptions that have been received.
The Offering commenced on June 26, 2024 and will end on the sooner of
(i) a date determined by the Company, or (ii) the date the Offering is
required to terminate by law.
Page 10
Only the Company is offering securities in this Offering. None of our
existing officers, directors, or stockholders (including the General
Partner) are offering or selling any of their securities of the Company
in this Offering.
The Company is not using an underwriter or broker to sell the Class A
Investor Shares and is not paying commissions. Class A Investor Shares
will be offered and sold only through the Platform.
This is a "best efforts - no minimum" offering. This means that the
Offering does not have a minimum threshold amount that we must raise
before we can have a closing. Even if a very small number of Class A
Investor Shares are sold, the Company does not plan to return funds to
Investors.
The Company reserves the right to reject any subscription to purchase
Class A Investor Shares in this Offering in whole or in part and for any
reason (or no reason). If the Company rejects an investment, it will
promptly return all the Investor's money without interest or deduction.
Anyone can buy Class A Investor Shares. The General Partner does not
intend to limit investment to people with a certain income level or net
worth, although there are limits on how much non-accredited investors
may invest in this Offering (see
Limit on the Amount a Non-Accredited Investor Can Invest).
The General Partner intends to advertise the Offering using the Platform
and through other means, including public advertisements, social media
and audio-visual materials, in each case, only as we authorize and in
compliance with the rules and regulations of Regulation A. Although
these materials will not contain information that conflicts with the
information in this Offering Circular and will be prepared with a view
to presenting a balanced discussion of risk and reward with respect to
the Class A Investor Shares, the advertising materials will not give a
complete understanding of this Offering, the Company, or the Class A
Investor Shares and are not to be considered part of this Offering
Circular.
The Offering is made only by means of this Offering Circular and
prospective Investors must read and rely on the information provided in
this Offering Circular in connection with their decision to invest in
Class A Investor Shares.
In addition to this Regulation A offering, the Company may conduct
concurrent private offerings of securities under Rule 506(c) of
Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933. These private offerings (the
"Reg D Offerings") will be open exclusively to verified
accredited investors and may be offered through general solicitation and
advertising, in compliance with applicable securities laws. Each of
these classes of Company shares ("Reg D Shares") offered to
investors participating in these private offerings (the "Reg D Investors") shall participate in distributions with the Investors on a
pari passu basis.
Securities sold pursuant to Regulation D will not be registered with the
SEC and will be subject to transfer restrictions.
Proceeds from the Regulation D offering will be combined with proceeds
from this Offering and used by the Company for the same common purpose
(see Use of Proceeds). While proceeds from each offering may be
used to acquire overlapping or similar energy infrastructure assets, the
Company will maintain separate accounting of capital raised under each
offering and allocate capital in a manner consistent with the rights and
expectations of each investor class.
We expect to use all of the net proceeds of this Offering to acquire,
develop and construct Projects and to issue Loans. Proceeds waiting to
be invested into Projects and Loans may be temporarily invested into
Company Investments like government bonds or money market accounts. For
more information regarding our investment strategy, see
Investment Strategy. For more information regarding current
Projects and Loans, see Description of Property
Page 11
We expect to pay for operating expenses at the Company with cash flow
from the Projects and Loans, but if the Projects and Loans have not
earned enough revenue to pay for any given operating expense, the
General Partner may use the proceeds from this Offering to pay such
operating expense. The types of operating expenses that the Company
expects to pay are described in Our Operating Expenses.
The capital raised in this Offering will not be used to compensate
officers or directors because the Company has no employees. However,
Offering proceeds may be used to pay Fees owed to the General Partner
and its affiliates (see Compensation of General Partner).
The Company expects to pay operating expenses, including Fees, from
available Company cash, including cash flow from Projects, Loans and
Company Investments and, if necessary, Offering proceeds.
The General Partner may make short term advances to the Company to make
payments on an as-needed basis. The General Partner has also secured a
loan on behalf of the Company. We do not anticipate any additional
sources of capital apart from funds from operations, the advances, funds
generated through this Offering (and other offerings) and the loan to
fund the Projects and Loans.
It is important to note that no capital will be allocated to any Project
or Loan until it has received formal approval from the Investment
Committee and has been reported in accordance with the appropriate
procedures (see Investment Committee).
We might invest in Projects or Loans using the General Partner's capital
before we have raised enough capital from Investors. In that case, we
will replace the General Partner's capital with capital from Investors
as soon as we raise it. To the extent the General Partner or its
affiliates invest capital, they will do so on the same price and terms
as the Investors (see Compensation of General Partner).
The table below sets forth our estimated use of proceeds from this
Offering assuming we sell $50.0 million in Class A Investor
Shares. This is a "best effort" offering. This Offering does not
have a minimum to close. The Company is not paying commissions to
underwriters, brokers, or anyone else in connection with the sale or
distribution of the Class A Investor Shares. In some cases, retirement
custodians, investment advisers, and other intermediaries will offer to
invest on behalf of their clients. In such cases, the custodian,
adviser, or intermediary will be paid a fee from their client's invested
funds. In such cases, the client (rather than the Company) is paying
those fees.

The Company will reimburse the General Partner in an amount up to
5% of proceeds from this Offering to pay for organization and
offering expenses, including marketing expenses. Any such amounts in
excess of such 5% will be paid, without reimbursement, by the
General Partner.
The Company reserves the right to change the above use of proceeds
without notice if the General Partner believes it is in the best
interests of the Company.
Page 12
The Company's offices are located at 52 Main Street, Chester, CT 06412.
The Company itself has no employees. Rather, the Company has engaged the
General Partner to manage the Company and utilizes employees and
services provided by the General Partner as described more fully in the
section
Directors, Executive Officers & Significant Employees.
Energea Portfolio 4 USA LP is a limited partnership, treated as a "C"
corporation for United States federal and state income tax purposes, and
organized under the laws of Delaware as of March 11, 2021. The Company
and its day-to-day operations are managed by Energea Global LLC (the "General Partner" or "Energea Global"). The Company was created to invest in the
acquisition, development, and operations of solar energy projects in the
USA (each a "Project"). The Company may also lend money to
Development Companies and use solar projects as collateral rather than
acquiring Projects for direct ownership (each a "Loan").
The primary sources of revenue for the Company comes from payments made
by customers who buy energy from the Projects ("Customers") and
borrowers who make principal and interest payments on Loans
("Borrowers"). The Company's profitability depends on generating
revenues from Projects and Loans that exceed the operating costs (see
Our Operating Expenses).
Projects are each owned by a special-purpose entity ("SPE"). As
of the date of this Offering Circular, the Company owns 100% of each SPE
(except for Tax Equity, as hereinafter defined), although there could be
instances where the Company is a partner in a SPE with another party. In
all cases, the Company expects to exercise management control over each
SPE.
The Company generally plans to hold the Projects indefinitely, creating
a reliable stream of cash flow for Investors. Should the Company decide
to sell Projects in the future, however, the General Partner would
consider the following factors:
·
Yield and Cashflow: Many investment funds look for reliable
cashflows generating a targeted yield. With both revenue and most
expenses locked in by contract, the cash flow from any Project should be
predictable and consistent for as long as 25 years.
·
Project Consolidation: Some of the Projects will be too small or
unusual for institutional buyers to consider purchasing on their own.
The Company could package these Projects into a larger, more
standardized portfolio that will be attractive to these larger, more
efficiency-focused players. In the aggregate, a portfolio of Projects
might be expected to generate 50+ megawatts of power with relatively
uniform power contracts, engineering standards, and underwriting
criteria. A portfolio of that size can bear the fees and diligence
associated with an institutional-grade transaction or securitization.
·
Cash Flow Stabilization: When the Company buys a Project, it
will typically share the construction or repowering risk with the
Development Company that originated the Project. Larger investors are
generally unwilling to take on construction risk and will invest only in
Projects that are already generating positive cash flow, referred to as
"stabilization". Thus, the Company may acquire Projects before
stabilization and sell them after stabilization. Institutional investor
interest in the Portfolio should increase as the portfolio stabilizes.
·
Increase in Residual Value: When the Company acquires a Project,
the appraisal is based solely on the cash flows projected from executed
Power Purchase Agreement (see Summary of Supporting Contracts), with no residual value assumed for the Project.
There is a high probability that a Project will continue to create
revenue after its initial contract period in the form of a contract
extension, repositioning, or sale of energy into the merchant energy
markets. This creates a sort of built-in "found value" for our Projects,
which may be realized upon sale.
Page 13
The Company sources most of its Projects from third parties in the
United States who specialize in developing solar projects ("Development Companies"). The Company's relationship with Development Companies may take
several different forms. A Development Company might: (i) identify a
potential project and permit, engineer and construct it, (ii) provide
operations and maintenance support for a Project after it is built, or
(iii) sell a Project to us and exit entirely.
Development Companies are compensated for their work and their risk. As
of the date of this Offering Circular, the General Partner does not
currently own a Development Company in the U.S. and the Company acquires
all Projects from unrelated Development Companies. The General Partner
may create or acquire a Development Company if Projects from third
parties become overpriced, if an exceptional market opportunity presents
itself or if deal flow is slow and we require additional development
capacity. If the Company were to acquire a Project from a Development
Company that is related to the General Partner or an affiliate of the
General Partner, we will cap the related-party origination fee at 5.0%
of the overall Project's cost, which we believe is below the standard
market rate for developing a Project (see
Compensation of General Partner).
The General Partner reviews Projects submitted by the Development
Companies and seeks to identify Projects that we believe represent the
greatest opportunity for risk-adjusted returns. We are specifically
searching for Projects in states with what we believe to be favorable
economic conditions, large addressable markets and well-defined
renewable energy policies, like Connecticut, New York, Massachusetts and
California. When we find a Project that meets these fundamental
criteria, we consider the Project for investment and attempt to
negotiate a Project Purchase and Sale Agreement (see
Summary of Supporting Contracts), allowing the Company to take
ownership of the Project.
The Company is particularly focused on investing in Projects that have
been operational for at least five years, because we believe that these
seasoned assets are more predictable and buying them at this stage helps
the Company avoid the complexity and expenses related to tax equity
project finance (a form of investment typical at the beginning of a
project's life in the U.S. solar market). We believe there are a large
number of small to medium-scale solar projects in the U.S. that are
aging and could be acquired for attractive prices.
We primarily invest in Projects with the following characteristics:
·
Power Capacity: We intend to focus on Projects of between 0.1
megawatts and 10 megawatts, although we may pursue larger projects if
the right opportunity presents itself. (NOTE: The capacity of a solar
project is determined in accordance with "standard testing conditions"
established by certain laboratories worldwide. The actual output of a
solar project fluctuates with solar irradiance.)
·
Locations: We select locations based primarily on:
o Demand for alternative energy;
o Efficient access for maintenance;
o Interconnection points with the electricity grid;
o Solar irradiance; and
o State-level policies that enable the development of renewable energy
projects.
·
Right to Land: Some Projects owned by the Company will be
installed on Customer's rooftops, while others will be located on remote
parcels of real estate. In either scenario, the Company, and more
specifically, the SPE, will obtain rights to access the Project ("Access Rights") to construct and maintain the Project. For rooftop Projects, Access
Rights are most commonly granted through the Power Purchase Agreement
with the Customer. For Projects on remote real estate, the SPE will
either purchase or lease the site to ensure adequate Access Rights are
protected.
Page 14
·
Connecting Projects to the Distribution Grid: All Projects
acquired or constructed by the Company will require permission to
interconnect to the local electric grid. This permission is granted by
the local interconnecting utility company through an Interconnection
Agreement and an associated Permission to Operate.
·
Our Solar Equipment: Generally, we use the same basic equipment
that is used across the solar industry: the solar panels themselves,
which turn sunlight into electrical energy, and the inverters, which
convert the direct current from the panels to the alternating current
used in homes and businesses. However, we buy our equipment only from
certain manufacturers who we believe are known for high quality and
financial strength.
·
State-Level Incentives and Environmental Commodities: Many
states in the United States have certain incentives to promote the
development of renewable energy projects. There is a wide range of
state-level incentives that include an environmental commodity known as
renewable energy credits ("RECs"), property and sales tax
exemptions, net metering and community solar. The Company will seek to
optimize those state-level incentives in order to increase the expected
return on investment for Investors which may include transactions with
third parties to monetize the RECs.
·
Tax Incentives: In addition to state-level incentives, the
federal government of the United States has created multiple tax-related
incentives to promote the development of renewable energy projects. The
incentives include the Investment Tax Credit ("ITC") and Modified
Accelerated Cost Recovery System ("MACRS") accelerated
depreciation and bonus depreciation. The Company will seek to optimize
those federal-level incentives in order to increase the expected return
on investment for Investors which may include transactions with third
parties for the purpose to monetizing certain tax advantages ("Tax Equity").
·
Minimum Technical Requirements ("MTR"): All technical aspects of each Project we invest in must meet the
Company's MTR. The MTR is a comprehensive list of all venders and
equipment makes/models which have gotten through the General Partner's
due diligence process and are acceptable for use in the Projects. We
analyze venders and the equipment they make to predict the field
performance of the equipment and the financial strength behind
warranties and guarantees. In addition to tracking venders and materials
used in the construction, we also track best installation practices
through the MTR. Each Project leaves lessons learned, and those lessons
are incorporated into the collective memory of the General Partner by
being added to the best practices component of the MTR.
·
When the Company Invests in Projects: Normally, the Company will
not invest in a Project until the applicable contracts named above in
Rights to Land,
Connecting Projects to the Distribution Grid, and Our Solar
Equipment
have been negotiated and executed. Thus, in most cases
Investors are not exposed to significant Project-level risks until all
these agreements are signed. However, the General Partner might make
exceptions for Projects which we believe to be exceptionally promising.
The General Partner will have sole discretion over whether to acquire or
invest in a Project. See Risk Factors for more information.
The Company may provide Loans to Borrowers in the United States.
Borrowers are usually Development Companies or a project SPE owned by a
Development Company. These Loans are designed to finance the development
of new solar energy projects while relying on the credit of existing
projects or other collateral that rests on the balance sheet of the
Borrower as collateral. Each time a new project reaches commercial
operation; it contributes to the Borrower's overall collateral which
allows the Company to extend additional credit to the Borrower.
·
Loan Issuance: As the Company raises capital through this
Offering, the General Partner may lend some or all of it to Borrowers
each month. Each disbursement is amortized on a separate amortization
schedule which adheres to the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement
(see Summary of Supporting Contracts).
·
Collateral: The Loans are senior debt and collateralized by a
pledge of the shares in the Borrower's enterprise which includes solar
projects held on the corporate balance sheet. Thus, by serving as the
sole lender to a Borrower, the solar projects act as the primary form of
collateral. As Loans are issued, the Borrower uses the loan proceeds to
develop and construct more projects which are added to the overall
collateral calculations.
Page 15
As the Projects achieve commercial operation, the Borrower's customer
begins to make payments to our Borrower for energy produced by the
Projects. In some cases, payments from the customers to our Borrower are
made directly to a segregated account controlled by the Company. As a
condition to close a Loan, the Borrower grants the Company controlling
rights to the trust account and/or collateralized assets so that, in the
event of a default, the General Partner can easily step into the
Borrower's cash flow to prevent revenue leakage during a default
event. We believe the Company is particularly well-suited to issue
Loans when solar projects act as collateral due to our General Partner's
extensive experience owning and operating solar projects.
·
Loan Management: The General Partner will oversee the
performance and compliance of Borrowers and the associated collateral.
Their responsibilities include continuous monitoring of construction
progress, energy production and cash flows to help ensure that loan
terms are met. By working closely with the Borrowers and their projects,
we mitigate risks associated with project delays and underperformance
which could impair the Borrower. Close scrutiny of underlying projects
during due diligence and loan servicing also ensures an efficient
step-in during a default scenario.
The ITC, a foundational element of U.S. renewable energy policy, was
significantly restructured through the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022
("IRA") and subsequent regulatory developments. Historically, the
ITC allowed renewable energy developers-particularly in solar and
wind-to claim a federal tax credit based on a percentage of project
capital expenditures. This credit was used to offset the developer's tax
liability, reducing effective project costs and incentivizing
investment. However, the previous framework posed challenges for
entities without sufficient tax appetite, requiring them to engage in
complex and expensive tax equity structures such as partnership flips or
sale-leasebacks, which often excluded smaller sponsors due to scale and
cost constraints.
The IRA introduced a major change by making ITCs transferrable, allowing
project sponsors like our SPEs to sell unused tax credits to unrelated
third parties for cash. We believe that this change addresses one of the
key inefficiencies in the original structure by opening access to the
value of tax credits regardless of the sponsor's own tax capacity which
should result in a more flexible and efficient path to monetizing tax
incentives, improving capital recycling, and enabling broader
participation in renewable energy finance. Recent IRS guidance has
further clarified implementation of this provision, including
registration requirements and anti-abuse rules, which should further
enable a growing market of tax credit buyers and sellers to transact
with greater certainty. The Company expects to benefit from improved
pricing, reduced transaction costs, and the ability to monetize credits
at the individual project level rather than relying exclusively on
aggregated or institutional-scale tax equity transactions.
However, it is important to note that the tax credit regime remains
subject to change, and future legislation could materially alter the
structure, availability, or value of the ITC. In particular, the
sweeping federal legislative package currently under discussion-commonly
referred to as the "Big Beautiful Bill"-is rumored to include
substantial changes to U.S. energy tax policy. While the precise
contents and timeline of such legislation remain uncertain, there is a
risk that it could modify or limit the transferability of credits,
introduce new eligibility requirements, or impose additional constraints
on credit buyers or sellers. These potential changes could impact the
Company's ability to have its SPEs monetize tax credits as anticipated
and may cause our investment strategy to focus exclusively on acquiring
operational projects which are no longer impacted by ITC considerations.
When we find a Project or Loan that meets the fundamental criteria
described above, we consider the opportunity at a multi-disciplinary
committee of experienced renewable energy executives of the General
Partner ("Investment Committee"). To approve a Project or Loan
for funding, a unanimous approval of the investment by the Investment
Committee is required to move forward. A copy of the memorandum prepared
by the General Partner for each Project or Loan is provided to Investors
on the Platform and in our filings with the SEC through "Form 1-U" and 253(g)(2) filings. As of the date of this Offering Circular, the
Investment Committee consists of the members outlined in the table

Our net income depends, in large part, on our ability to source, acquire
and manage investments with attractive risk-adjusted yields. We compete
with many other entities engaged in renewable energy in the U.S. market,
including individuals, corporations, private funds, and other entities
engaged in renewable energy investment activities, many of which have
greater financial resources and lower costs of capital available to them
than we have. In addition, there are numerous companies with asset
acquisition objectives similar to ours, and others may be organized in
the future, which may increase competition for the investments suitable
for us.
There are numerous companies with investment objectives similar to ours.
That said, the industry is going through a consolidation phase where a
large pool of market participants is being consolidated into a smaller
group of "successful" enterprises. Thus, we believe that we will have
fewer competitors today than we would have had five years ago, but those
competitors are generally larger and more sophisticated than those that
have folded or sold their position in the market.
Competitive variables include market presence and visibility, amount of
capital to be invested per Project and underwriting standards. To the
extent that a competitor is willing to risk larger amounts of capital in
a particular transaction or to employ more liberal underwriting
standards when evaluating potential investments than we are, our
investment volume and profit margins could be impacted. Our competitors
may also be willing to accept lower returns on their investments and may
succeed in buying the Projects that we have targeted for acquisition.
Although we believe that we are well-positioned to compete effectively
in each facet of our business, there is competition in the market and
there can be no assurance that we will compete effectively or that we
will not encounter increased competition in the future that could limit
our ability to grow the portfolio in the future and conduct our business
effectively.
The revenue from our Projects and Loans consists primarily of the
payments we receive from Customers and Borrowers under their respective
agreements. For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024,
respectively, the Company's total revenue was $641,029 and $329,680,
respectively, which is broken down below:

This PQA is not providing, or purporting to provide, any tax advice to
Investors. Every potential Investor is advised to seek the advice
of his, her or its own tax professionals before making this investment.
The securities sold in this Offering may have issues related to taxation
at many levels, including tax laws and regulations at the state, local
and federal levels in the United States, and at all levels of government
in non-U.S. jurisdictions.
It is impractical to comment on all aspects of federal, state, local and
foreign tax laws that may affect the tax consequences of participation
in the Company. Therefore, each prospective Investor should satisfy
himself, herself or itself as to the tax consequences of participating
in the Company by obtaining independent advice from his, her or its own
tax advisers. Furthermore, while the Company will furnish to you any
information required to be provided to you under applicable tax laws,
preparation and filing of each Investor's tax returns shall be such
Investor's responsibility.
The following summarizes certain significant Federal income tax
consequences of acquiring Class A Investor Shares. This summary is based
on the current tax laws in the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code"), the Treasury regulations issued by the
Internal Revenue Service ("Regulations"), and current
administrative rulings and court decisions, all as they exist today. The
Company will report its income and losses using the calendar year ending
December 31 (the "Calendar Year"). All of these tax authorities
could change in the future (and such change may possibly be retroactive
so as to result in different U.S. federal income tax consequences from
those set forth below).
This is only a summary, applicable to a generic Investor. Your personal
situation could differ. We encourage you to consult with your own tax
advisor before investing.
U.S.
Federal Income Taxes
As used herein, the term "U.S. Holder" means a beneficial owner
of the Class A Investor Shares that is, for U.S. federal income tax
purposes, an individual citizen or resident of the United States, a
corporation (or any other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S.
federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws
of the United States or any state or political subdivision thereof or
the District of Columbia, an estate the income of which is subject to
U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source, or a trust, if a
court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision
over the administration of the trust and one or more U.S. persons
control all of the substantial decisions of the trust or if a valid
election is in place to treat the trust as a U.S. person.
Page 19
In addition, if a partnership, including any entity or arrangement,
domestic or foreign, classified as a partnership for United States
federal income tax purposes, holds Class A Investor Shares, the tax
treatment of a partner generally will depend on the status of the
partner and upon the activities of the partnership. Accordingly,
partnerships that hold Class A Investor Shares, and partners in such
partnerships, should consult their tax advisors.
The Company is a Delaware limited partnership but has affirmatively
elected to be treated as a corporation under Subchapter C of the Code
for federal income tax purposes. Thus, the Company will be taxed
at regular corporate rates on its income before making any distributions
to holders of Class A Investor Shares as described below.
Distributions to U.S. Holders out of the Company's current or
accumulated earnings and profits, if any, will be taxable as dividends.
A non-corporate U.S. Holder who receives a distribution constituting
"qualified dividend income" may be eligible for reduced federal income
tax rates. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors
regarding the characterization of corporate distributions as "qualified
dividend income." Dividends received by a corporate U.S. Holder may be
eligible for the corporate dividends-received deduction if certain
holding periods are satisfied. Distributions in excess of the Company's
current and accumulated earnings and profits will not be taxable to a
U.S. Holder to the extent that the distributions do not exceed the
adjusted tax basis of the U.S. Holder's Class A Investor Shares. Rather,
such distributions will reduce the adjusted basis of such U.S. Holder's
Class A Investor Shares. Distributions in excess of current and
accumulated earnings and profits that exceed the U.S. Holder's adjusted
basis in its Class A Investor Shares will be taxable as capital gain in
the amount of such excess if the Class A Investor Shares are held as a
capital asset. In addition, Section 1411 of the Code imposes on
individuals, trusts and estates a 3.8% tax on certain investment income
(the "3.8% NIIT").
Upon any taxable sale or other disposition of Class A Investor Shares, a
U.S. Holder will recognize gain or loss for federal income tax purposes
on the disposition in an amount equal to the difference between the
amount of cash and the fair market value of any property received on
such disposition; and the U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in the Class
A Investor Shares. A U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in the Class A
Investor Shares generally equals his or her initial amount paid for the
Class A Investor Shares and decreased by the amount of any distributions
to the Investor in excess of the Company's current or accumulated
earnings and profits. In computing gain or loss, the proceeds that U.S.
Holders receive will include the amount of any cash and the fair market
value of any other property received for their Class A Investor Shares,
and the amount of any actual or deemed relief from indebtedness
encumbering their Class A Investor Shares. The gain or loss will be
long-term capital gain or loss if the Class A Investor Shares are held
for more than one year before disposition. Long term capital gains of
individuals, estates and trusts currently are taxed at a maximum rate of
20% (plus any applicable state income taxes) plus the 3.8% NIIT.
The Code imposes an alternative minimum tax on individuals and
corporations. Certain items of the Company's income and loss may be
required to be taken into account in determining the alternative minimum
tax liability of Investors.
The Company will report its income and losses using the Calendar Year.
The Company will furnish each Investor with the information needed to be
included in his or her federal income tax returns, if any; provided,
however, the Investors shall be responsible for determining their
adjusted basis in their respective Class A Investor Shares. Each
Investor is personally responsible for preparing and filing all personal
tax returns that may be required as a result of his purchase of Class A
Investor Shares. The tax returns of the Company will be prepared by
accountants selected by the Company.
Page 20
If the tax returns of the Company are audited, it is possible that
substantial legal and accounting fees will have to be paid to
substantiate our position and such fees would reduce the cash otherwise
distributable to Investors.
Each Investor must either report Company items on his or her tax return
consistent with the treatment on the information return of the Company
or file a statement with his tax return identifying and explaining the
inconsistency. Otherwise the IRS may treat such inconsistency as a
computational error and re-compute and assess the tax without the usual
procedural protections applicable to federal income tax deficiency
proceedings.
The Code imposes interest and a variety of potential penalties on
underpayments of tax.
The foregoing discussion addresses only selected issues involving
Federal income taxes and does not address the impact of other taxes on
an investment in the Company, including federal estate, gift, or
generation-skipping taxes, or State and local income or inheritance
taxes. Prospective Investors should consult their own tax advisors with
respect to such matters.
The Company will cause the SPEs to enter into six (6) main contracts for
each Project:
·
Purchase and Sale Agreements: When the General Partner
identifies a project that it believes, in its sole discretion, meets the
investment criteria of the Company, it signs a "Purchase and Sale Agreement" to acquire the rights to the Project from a Development Company.
·
Tax Equity Agreements: In the U.S., some solar projects qualify
for one or more tax incentives. These incentives reduce tax liabilities
to both federal and state government in exchange for making an
investment into a solar project (see "Tax Equity"). When we elect
to transfer tax credits to a Tax Equity investor under the rules
specified in the IRA, we will do so under the terms and conditions of a
"Tax Equity Agreement".
·
Power Purchase Agreements: In all cases, the SPEs will sell
electricity produced by the Projects to Customers pursuant to a contract
we refer to as a "Power Purchase Agreement".
·
Purchase and Sale Agreements for Environmental Commodities: In
some cases, the SPEs will sell environmental commodities produced by the
Projects to third parties pursuant to a contract we refer to as an "Purchase and Sale Agreement for Environmental Commodities".
·
Construction Contracts: To build the Projects, the SPE
will hire a third party to provide engineering, procurement, and
construction services pursuant to a contract referred to as a "Construction Contract".
·
Project Maintenance Contracts: The SPE will then hire a third
party to operate and maintain the Projects pursuant to a contract we
refer to as a "Project Maintenance Contract".
Page 21
The Company will enter into three (3) main contracts when making a Loan
to a Borrower:
·
Loan Agreement: A Loan Agreement ("Loan Agreement") is a
contract where the Lender provides funds to a Borrower up to a specified
limit over a set borrowing period. The Borrower uses these funds to
construct new solar projects. The Borrower grants the Lender a
first-priority lien on all its assets as collateral, including the solar
projects. The agreement includes conditions for advances, default
triggers, and remedies for the Lender, with covenants ensuring
compliance and asset segregation.
·
Collateral Agreements: The "Collateral Agreements" are a
collection of agreements and instruments designed to secure obligations
under a Loan Agreement between a Borrower and the Company. These
documents collectively establish, and perfect the Company's security
interests in various assets and equity interests of the Borrower and
related parties. They may include personal guarantees, corporate
guarantees, promissory notes outlining repayment terms, and pledge
agreements granting the Company priority liens on specific collateral.
Supporting resolutions and certificates confirm the Borrower's
authorization and compliance. The Collateral Agreements address
repayment conditions, default remedies, rights over collateral, and
ensure the Company's enforcement capabilities while defining limits on
recourse where applicable.
·
Trust Agreement: Some, but not all, Loans will also have a "Trust Agreement". In circumstances where the General Partner requires more fiscal
oversite over a Borrower, we will set up a trust which will receive all
of the Borrowers revenue (usually payments for energy from their
customers). The General Partner will instruct the Trustee to pay
principal and/or interest payments owed to the Company prior to
distributing the remaining cash to the Borrower for their use in
operations.
Material Legal
Proceedings
As of the date of this Offering Circular, neither the Company, nor any
of the Company's SPEs, are currently involved in any material legal
proceedings.
A comprehensive discussion on risks of investing in the Company can be
found at the beginning of this Offering Circular. Below are risks that
we believe deserve specific attention, as they have the highest
likelihood of impacting Investor returns. Following each risk is a brief
description of mitigating strategies to be employed by the General
Partner:
·
Solar Irradiance: Energea Global forecasts the energy
production of each Project based on historical weather patterns. A
deviation from historical weather patterns could result in
lower-than-expected electrical production and decreased dividends.
Projected returns use a P-50 production estimate. P-50 is an estimate of
electrical production where there is a 50% statistical probability that
the Project will produce more electricity and a 50% probability that the
Project will produce less. This is an industry standard method of
weather prediction and production estimating.
o Mitigating Strategy: Diversifying across many Projects and
different geographical markets helps to mitigate the solar irradiance
risk of any specific Project. The Projects are impossible to predict one
day to the next, but over a year, it is actually quite predictable for
experienced managers. Loans carry a lower exposure to solar irradiance
than Projects. A "debt service coverage ratio" is designed to "make
room" for the collateral to underperform and still make the debt service
payment as scheduled. While the effects of solar irradiance on Projects
in the short term are almost impossible to predict, we believe that in
the long term the effects of solar irradiance become more predictable.
Page 22
·
Theft / Damage: The equipment may be subject to
theft or damage which is beyond the Company's control.
Mitigating Strategy: Energea Global always carries insurance to
protect against major loss. We carry property insurance to cover theft
or unexpected damage to the equipment as well as business interruption
insurance to cover lost income during Project downtime. Many of the
Projects are on Customer's rooftops where they enjoy some level of
protection. Loans are less exposed to theft and damage losses.
·
Construction: There is a risk that the Project could
encounter unforeseen delays or costs during the construction phase that
could potentially delay dividends and result in a lower-than expected
IRR.
o Mitigating Strategy: All Construction Contracts (see summary of
Summary of Supporting Contracts) have liquidated damages
clauses. Liquidated damages hold the contractor building the Project
responsible for any lost revenue resulting from construction delays. The
Company has been successful capturing liquidated damages from
construction companies in the past when Projects are delayed, but we may
not be able to capture them in the future. The Company also acquires all
Projects on a fixed-price basis to limit our exposure to cost overruns
during construction.
·
Customer Default: The primary source of revenue from
Projects and Loans will come from long-term Purchase Power Agreements
and Loans. There is a risk that an entity could default on the Purchase
Power Agreement or Loan.
o Mitigating Strategy: Energea Global carefully evaluates the
credit risk of the Customers and Borrowers. Most of the contracts with
the Company or SPEs are with large utility companies, large corporations
and U.S. municipalities, which we believe mitigates risk.
·
Materials / Equipment: Equipment may fail or break down
resulting in lower than anticipated production or unplanned additional
operating expenses.
o Mitigating Strategy: Equipment used in the Projects come with
warranties (ranging from 2 to 25 years depending on the component) and
guarantees from contractors (ranging from 2 to 5 years). Warranties and
guarantees protect against failure when they are properly managed and
pursued. Energea Global also accounts for degradation in our project
models and sets aside a contingency reserve for unforeseen mechanical
issues that may arise.

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of
operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements
and the related notes thereto contained in this Offering Circular. The
following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect
our plans, estimates, and beliefs. Our actual results could differ
materially from those discussed in herein (see
Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors).
Unless otherwise indicated, the latest results discussed below are as of
December 31, 2025.
For financial statement purposes, the Company accounts for investments
in Projects under ASC 360. The Projects are carried at cost and will be
depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of
the related assets.
The Company evaluates for impairment under ASC 360, utilizing the
following required steps to identify, recognize and measure the
impairment of a long-lived asset to be held and used:
·
Indicators of impairment - Consider whether indicators of impairment
are present
·
Test for recoverability - If indicators are present, perform a
recoverability test by comparing the sum of the estimated undiscounted
future cash flows attributable to the long-lived asset in question to
its carrying amount (as a reminder, entities cannot record an impairment
for a held and used asset unless the asset first fails this
recoverability test).
·
Measurement of an impairment - If the undiscounted cash flows used in
the test for recoverability are less than the carrying amount of the
long-lived asset, determine the fair value of the long-lived asset and
recognize an impairment loss if the carrying amount of the long-lived
asset exceeds its fair value.
The company follows ASC 606 guidelines for revenue recognition. To apply
this principle, the standard establishes five key steps:
·
Step 1: Recognize the contract with the Customer/Borrower
·
Step 2: Specify performance obligations
Page 24
·
Step 3: Establish transaction price
·
Step 4: Allocate transaction price to performance obligations
·
Step 5: Recognize revenue
The U.S. energy infrastructure market is currently being shaped by two
primary forces: (i) the requirement for projects to achieve "safe
harbor" status by July 4, 2026, in order to preserve eligibility for ITC
benefits, and (ii) a significant increase in electricity demand,
including from data centers and artificial intelligence-related
applications. Together, these factors are driving an accelerated
development cycle across the sector and increasing the urgency to bring
new generation capacity online within a defined timeframe.
The July 4, 2026, safe harbor deadline has created a near-term "build
window" for eligible projects. Projects that do not meet this
requirement may not qualify for ITC benefits, which are a material
component of project economics. As a result, developers are prioritizing
the advancement of projects that can be progressed through key
milestones within this timeframe. This has led to increased competition
for equipment, development resources, and capital capable of supporting
projects through this accelerated timeline.
At the same time, demand for electricity is increasing, driven in part
by the expansion of data centers and artificial intelligence
infrastructure. This demand growth is contributing to expectations of
higher forward power prices and increasing the relative value of
generation capacity that can be delivered in the near term. Market
participants are increasingly focused on projects that can be brought
online within the current incentive framework and cost environment, as
these projects may benefit from both existing tax incentives and
favorable forward pricing conditions.
These dynamics have resulted in a concentration of activity around
projects that are capable of achieving near-term commercial operation
while maintaining eligibility for applicable incentives.
Development-stage capital is being deployed to support this accelerated
timeline, often in structures that allow for participation in
project-level equity as development milestones are achieved. The Company
believes this reflects a broader industry shift toward time-sensitive
project execution, with a focus on securing and advancing assets that
can be delivered within the current incentive window.
The Company's investment strategy is aligned with these market
conditions, emphasizing the identification and advancement of projects
that are positioned to meet applicable incentive requirements and
respond to increasing demand for electricity. As the market continues to
evolve, the Company expects that projects capable of achieving near-term
commercial operation within the current regulatory and economic
framework will represent a significant portion of investable
opportunities.
The Company intends to make distributions monthly, to the extent the
General Partner, in its discretion, determines that cash flow is
available for distributions and in a manner consistent with the
Authorizing Resolutions. Below are the activities of the Company that
generate the cash flow which could be used to fund distributions:
Page 25
·
Net income received from the Projects;
·
Interest payments received from the Borrowers;
·
Interest payments received from Company Investments;
·
Net Proceeds from Capital Transactions;
o Originates from the sale or refinancing of Projects;
o Net proceeds are the gross proceeds of the capital transaction minus
associated expenses, including debt repayment; and
·
Liquidated Damages from Construction Agreements;
o Penalties paid by "EPC" Contractors when Projects are delivered
behind schedule;
o Liquidated Damages are not booked as revenue but are considered
distributable cash flow.
Provided we have distributable cash flow, the General Partner may
authorize and declare distributions after retaining any amounts it
determines are appropriate for reserves, anticipated expenses, debt
service, capital needs, redemptions or other purposes.
To the extent the Company has distributable cash flow but has no current
or accumulated profit, such distributions are considered a return of
capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent that the
distributions do not exceed the adjusted tax basis of the U.S. Holder's
Class A Investor Shares and reported to Investors on a Form 1099-B. To
the extent the Company makes distributions from profits, such
distributions will be classified as dividends and reported to Investors
on a Form 1099-DIV.
Please note that in some cases, Investors have cancelled their
purchase of Shares after distributions were made. In that case, the
distribution allocated to that Investor is returned to the Company and
the bookkeeping is updated to reflect the change in cash distributed.
Thus, all figures below are subject to change.
Below is a table depicting the distributions made from the Company
since inception. The table is based on historical distributions paid
to holders of Class A Investor Shares, which the Company believes is
illustrative for holders of Reg D Investor Shares because the Class A
Investor Shares and the Reg D Investor Shares are pari passu with
respect to distributions.

*Note: Monthly cash-on-cash yield is calculated by dividing the
distribution amount by the portfolio's NAV (see Price of Class A
Investor Shares) at the time the distribution is issued. Year-end
cash-on-cash yields are calculated by summing all monthly cash-on-cash
yields for the respective year.
Page 27
The Company's operating results for the year ended December 31, 2025
reflect growth in its portfolio of operating Projects compared to
2024. Revenue increased due to a full year of operations from Projects
that commenced generation in 2024 and the addition of the Sandlot
Project in 2025. Operating expenses increased in line with the
expansion of the Company's portfolio, including higher costs
associated with operations, maintenance, and depreciation.
Depreciation expense increased in 2025 due to both a larger asset base
and a change in the estimated useful life of renewable energy assets
from 30 years to 20 years. As a result, the Company reported higher
operating income and net income compared to 2024.
Operating Results for Fiscal Years ended December 31, 2025 and
2024
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had total assets of
$7,174,149 and $5,026,086, respectively, consisting of cash and cash
equivalents of $1,970,251 and $916,638, property and equipment, net of
depreciation, of $4,007,652 and $3,767,390, other current assets of
$124,377 and $70,200, and non-current assets of $1,071,869 and $271,858,
respectively. Total liabilities and partners'/members' equity were
$7,174,149 and $5,026,086, respectively. Liabilities totaled $582,472
and $517,090, respectively, and equity owned by Investors totaled
$6,591,677 and $4,508,996, respectively.
For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company
generated revenue of $641,029 and $329,680, respectively. The increase
was primarily attributable to a full year of operations from the Fresno
Airport Project and revenue from the Sandlot Project acquired in 2025.
Total operating expenses were $607,708 and $315,129 for the years ended
December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, consisting of general and
administrative expenses of $138,593 and $77,221 and project-level
operating expenses of $469,115 and $237,908, respectively. The increase
in operating expenses reflects the expansion of the Company's operating
portfolio and higher depreciation expense in 2025.
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, the Company reported
operating income of $33,321, compared to $14,551 in 2024. Total other
income/(expense) in 2025 was $110,882, compared to $27,889 in 2024. As a
result, the Company reported net income of $144,203 for 2025, compared
to $42,440 for 2024.
The Company might borrow money to invest in Projects, depending on the
circumstances at the time. If the Company needs to move quickly on a
Project and has not yet raised enough capital through the Offering, it
might make up the shortfall through borrowing. The General Partner will
make this decision on an as-needed basis. As of the date of this
Offering Circular neither the Company nor the Projects currently
have any loans.
We are dependent upon the net proceeds from the Offering to conduct our
proposed investments. We will obtain the capital required to purchase
new Projects, issue new Loans and conduct our operations from the
proceeds of the Offering and any future offerings we may conduct, from
secured or unsecured financings from banks and other lenders, from short
term advances from the General Partner and from undistributed funds from
our operations. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $1,970,251 of
cash on hand and equivalents, which will be used for acquisition of new
projects or loans.
The compensation described in this section was calculated using the
accrual method in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

(1) The above listed employees do not record specific hours to each
Company managed by Energea Global. Rather, the employees focus their
full-time and energy to each Project, portfolio, or process as needed.
The General Partner cannot estimate number of hours per week spent
managing this or any particular Company as the employees are salaried.
The work required to manage the Company and other companies managed by
Energea Global changes from time to time depending on the number and
frequency of Projects resulting from the amount they raise in each
Offering. As the companies grow, dedicated staff are brought in to
exclusively manage a specific company. As of December 31, 2025, there
are no staff members exclusively dedicated to the Company and it is
managed by the General Partner's executive team and certain
significant employees.
Marta Coelho, the General Partner's Controller, is the sister-in-law of
Mike Silvestrini, the Managing Partner. There are no other family
relationships among the executive officers and significant employees of
the General Partner.
Energea Global, the General Partner of the Company, is majority owned by
Mike Silvestrini, a resident of Chester, Connecticut.

Energea Global, the General Partner of the Company, is also the general
partner of three other funds formed to acquire and operate solar power
projects, each of which is conducting an offering under Regulation A:
·
Energea Portfolio 2 LP ("Portfolio 2"), which was formed to

Energea Portfolio 3 Africa LP ("Portfolio 3"), which was formed
to acquire and operate projects located in Africa.
The status of each of the Company's, Portfolio 2's, Portfolio 3's and
Portfolio 5's current and prior offerings, as of December 31, 2025, is
below:
*Gross of stock issuance costs
**Start-up costs funded by the General Partner
Our General Partner is
compensated when the Company pays the fees described in the table below
(collectively referred to as "Fees"):
Page 33
|
Type of Fee
|
Timing of Fee
|
Description
|
|
Management Fees
|
Ongoing
|
The General Partner will charge the Company a management fee at
an annualized rate of 1.5%, calculated and paid monthly. The fee
will be calculated based on the Company's prior month-end NAV,
gross of Management Fees and Carried Interest (see
Price of Class A Investor Shares).
|
|
Carried Interest
|
Annually
|
The General Partner will be entitled to a 15.0% annual performance
allocation based on the Company's Total Annual Return, subject to
a 7.0% annual Preferred Return, a 100% catch-up, and a high-water
mark / loss carryforward (see
Calculating Carried Interest).
|
|
Origination Fees
|
When Projects and Loans are originated
|
The General Partner might originate and develop Projects and
Loans that are acquired by the Company. If so, the General
Partner shall be entitled to compensation that is no greater
than 5.0% of the Project's cost or the Loan's amount.
|
|
O&M and Credit Management Services ("Ancillary Services")
|
Ongoing as services are rendered according to contract
|
Energea Brazil provides O&M and Credit Management services to
some of the Projects owned by the Company. After an extensive
search to identify third parties to provide these services, the
General Partner concluded that the nascent solar market in Brazil
lacked cost-effective and experienced options for these tasks.
Energea Brazil, on the other hand, agreed to provide these
services at prices that were lower than those offered through the
competitive search process and has extensive experience providing
these services to hundreds of projects across multiple global
markets.
|
|
Interest on Loans
|
Whenever due and payable
|
The General Partner might lend to the Company to fund the
acquisition or investment in Projects and Loans or for other
purposes. Such a loan will bear interest at market rates. The
amount of interest will depend on the amount and term of any
such loans.
|
·
"Base NAV" means the Company's Net Asset Value ("NAV") on
the first day of a calendar month.
·
"Net Contributions" means, for any calendar month, capital
contributions, subscriptions or share issuances during such calendar
month, net of redemptions, repurchases or other capital withdrawals.
·
"Total Monthly Return" means, for any calendar month, the sum of
(i) distributions paid to Investors, plus (ii) the change in Base NAV
compared to the previous month, minus (iii) Net Contributions.
·
"Total Annual Return" is the sum of the twelve consecutive Total
Monthly Return amounts for the Calendar Year.
·
"Preferred Return Rate" means a 0.583% per month (7.0% per
annum).
·
"Monthly Preferred Return Amount" is the Preferred Return
Rate multiplied by the the Base NAV.
·
"Annual Preferred Return Amount" is the sum of the twelve
consecutive Monthly Preferred Return Amounts for the Calendar Year.
Page 34
During the first quarter of each Calendar Year, the General Partner will
calculate the Total Annual Return for the previous Calendar Year. To the
extent the Total Annual Return exceeds the Annual Preferred Return
Amount, such excess shall be allocated first, 100% to the General
Partner until the General Partner has received the amount necessary to
produce the 15% Carried Interest for such Calendar Year, and thereafter
85% to Investors and 15% to the General Partner.
If the Total Annual Return is less than the Annual Preferred Return
Amount, the shortfall will be carried forward through a high-water
mark/loss carryforward mechanism and must be recovered before Carried
Interest may be earned in a future Calendar Year.
While calculated and accrued on a monthly basis, Carried Interest will
only crystallize at the end of each Calendar Year.
Deferment of Fees
While the General Partner is not entitled to any compensation other than
the Fees as described above, it may defer some or all of Fees at any
time based on the General Partner's assessment of the cash flow at the
Company. Some Fees may be deferred indefinitely at the discretion of the
General Partner. To date, the General Partner has provided services
without charging the full amount owed by the Company. As the Company and
its cash flow stabilize, the General Partner may charge for deferred
Fees ("Deferred Fees") - see
Fees Paid to General Partner for more information.

(1) Under SEC rules, a person is deemed to be a "beneficial owner" of a
security if that person has or shares "voting power," which includes
the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of such security.
A person also is deemed to be a beneficial owner of any securities
which that person has a right to acquire within 60 days. Under these
rules, more than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of
the same securities and a person may be deemed to be a beneficial
owner of securities as to which he or she has no economic or pecuniary
interest.
(2) Each listed beneficial owner, person or entity has an address in care
of our principal executive offices at 52 Main Street, Chester, CT
06412.
(3) Includes Class A Investor Shares held directly by Michael Silvestrini
and Christopher Sattler and, to the extent applicable, shares
beneficially owned through Energea Global LLC, which is controlled by
its principal equity holders. Michael Silvestrini and Christopher
Sattler hold 41.10% and 32.10%, respectively, of the equity interests
in Energea Global LLC.
The Company might enter into other transactions with related parties. If
so, any compensation paid by the Company to the related party shall be
(i) fair to the Company, and (ii) consistent with the compensation that
would be paid to an unrelated party.
By "related party" we mean:
·
The General Partner or a subsidiary of the General Partner;
·
Any director, executive officer, or significant employee of the Company
or the General Partner;
·
Any person who has been nominated as a director of the Company or the
General Partner;
·
Any person who owns more than 10% of the voting power of the Company or
the General Partner; and
·
An immediate family member of any of the foregoing.
As of the date of this Offering Circular, the Company has entered into
transactions with related parties in one circumstance:
·
Credit Advance: The Company entered into several credit advances
from the General Partner to accelerate the availability of capital
needed to make certain small payments. These amounts are recorded as
do-to/do-from transactions and no interest is charged to the Company for
these advances.
The Company has not, and does not intend to, enter into any related
party transaction with the General Partner or its subsidiaries or any
other related party other than those transactions described above in
Compensation of General Partner. As discussed above, the Company
may pay or reimburse the General Partner for marketing expenses,
management fees, Carried Interest, Ancillary Services and interest on
loans. There are no other expenses, nor will there be other expenses in
the future, where the Company pays a related party other than the Fees.
Page 36
The Company is offering up to $50,000,000 of Class A Investor Shares.
All of the rights and obligations associated with the Class A Investor
Shares are set forth in:
·
The LP Agreement, which can be found
here; and
·
The Authorizing Resolution, which can be found
here.
The price of Class A Investor Shares
is established by the General Partner. The General Partner considers the
Company's net asset value ("NAV") and the number of outstanding
shares in establishing the offering price.
The NAV is the Net Present Value ("NPV") of the Estimated Net
Operating Income ("Estimated NOI") of the Company. The Estimated
NOI calculation is the General Partner's estimation of future cash flow
from Projects, Loans and Company Investments minus operating expenses at
both the Project and Company levels.
To estimate cash flow from Projects, we estimate monthly energy produced
by each Project using predictive software called PVsyst. To estimate
monthly revenue for each Project, the energy rate described in the Power
Purchase Agreement ("Energy Rate") is multiplied by projected
kilowatt-hours ("kWh") throughout the term of the Power Purchase
Agreements. We then deduct the expected Project Operating Expenses to
determine the cash available for distribution to the Company from the
Projects. We also include anticipated interest payments from Loans and
anticipated returns from Company Investments, if any.
The Company calculates the NPV of Estimated NOI using a discount rate
determined by the Finance Committee of the General Partner (the "Discount Rate"). As of the date of this Offering, the Discount Rate is 7.0% per
annum. The Discount Rate is subject to periodic review based on market
conditions, interest rates, country risk, asset risk, financing
conditions, portfolio composition and other factors deemed relevant. The
Discount Rate is a valuation input only and is not a guaranteed return,
promised yield, or target investor return.
Class A Investor Shares and Reg D Investor Shares each differ by the
cost paid to third parties for discovering the investment opportunity.
While Reg D Investors may pay a broker dealers of registered investment
advisors, Class A Investors generally discover the Company through paid
marketing channels such as digital marketing, podcast advertising,
promotional events, etc.
When a Reg D Investor pays a broker dealer, for example, he, she or it
pays the broker dealer directly as opposed to being charged to the
Company. Only Class A Investors, who rely on broad marketing and
communications to discover the Company, pay for such communications as a
Company expense.
By dividing the baseline share price by 0.95, we assume marketing
expenses of the Company at 5% of total sold Class A Investments.
Investors will have no right to vote or otherwise participate in the
management of the Company. Instead, the Company will be managed by the
General Partner exclusively.
Page 37
The Company is governed by a Limited
Partnership Agreement dated June 10, 2025 (the "LP Agreement"). A
copy of the LP Agreement can be found
here. The Class A Investor Shares being offered were created by the General
Partner under an Authorizing Resolution pursuant to Section 3.01 of the
LP Agreement. A copy of the Authorizing Resolution can be found
here.
The LP Agreement establishes Energea Global LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company, as the General Partner.
The following summarizes some of the key provisions of the LP Agreement
and the Authorizing Resolution. This summary is qualified in its
entirety by the LP Agreement itself, a copy of which can be found
here, and by the Authorizing Resolution itself, a copy of which can be
found
here.
The Company was formed in Delaware on March 11, 2021, pursuant to the
Delaware Limited Liability Company Act. On June 10, 2025, the Company
converted from a Delaware limited liability company to a Delaware
limited partnership, pursuant to the Delaware Revised Uniform
Partnership Act.
Under the LP Agreement, ownership
interests in the Company are referred to as a "Share", while the
owners, are referred to as "Limited Partners".
The General Partner adopted the Authorizing Resolution to create the
Class A Investor Shares. Any Investor who buys Class A Investor Shares
in the Offering will be a Limited Partner under the LP Agreement.
The interests in the Company are denominated by 2,501,000,000 Shares.
2,000,000,000 of these Shares are designated as either Class B Shares,
Class C Shares, Class D Shares or Class I Shares, with the exact amount
of each such class being determined by the General Partner. In
accordance with the LP Agreement, the General Partner may reclassify any
unsold existing class of Investor Shares into one or more classes, by
adopting one or more authorizing resolutions.
The Class A Investor Shares will, for the most part, be owned by
Investors and are the subject of this Offering. As of December 31, 2025,
the General Partner did not own any Class A Investor Shares. By adopting
other authorizing resolutions, the General Partner may create, offer,
and sell other classes of Investor Shares in the future, which could
have rights superior to the rights of the Class A Investor Shares.
The General Partner has complete discretion over all aspects of the
business conducted by the Company. For example, the General Partner may
(i) create classes of Shares with such terms and conditions as the
General Partner may determine in its sole discretion; (ii) issue Shares
to any person for such consideration as the General Partner maybe
determine in its sole discretion, and admit such persons to the Company
as Limited Partners; (iii) engage the services of third parties to
perform services on behalf of the Company; (iv) enter into one or more
joint ventures; (v) purchase, lease, sell, or otherwise dispose of real
estate and other assets including Projects or Loans, in the ordinary
course of business or otherwise; (vi) enter into leases and any other
contracts of any kind; (vii) incur indebtedness on behalf of the
Company, whether to banks or other lenders; (viii) determine the amount
of the Company's distributable cash (as described herein), and, subject
to any authorizing resolutions, the timing and amount of distributions
to Limited Partners; (ix) determine the information to be provided to
the Limited Partners; (x) grant mortgages, liens, and other encumbrances
on the Company's assets; (xi) make all elections under the Code and the
provisions of State and local tax laws; (xiii) file a petition in
bankruptcy; (xiv) discontinue the business of the Company; and (xv)
dissolve the Company.
Page 38
Investors who purchase Class A Investor Shares will not have any right
to vote on any issue other than certain amendments to the LP Agreement,
or to remove the General Partner.
The General Partner can be removed for "cause" under a procedure set
forth in Section 5.06 of the LP Agreement.
The term "cause" includes:
·
An uncured breach of the LP Agreement by the General Partner; or
·
The bankruptcy of the General Partner; or
·
Certain misconduct on the part of the General Partner, if the
individual responsible for the misconduct is not terminated.
A vote to remove the General Partner for cause must be approved by
Limited Partners owning at least seventy five percent (75%) of the
issued and outstanding Class A Investor Shares and the Reg D Shares,
voting together as a single class (the Class A Investor Shares and the
Reg D Shares being collectively referred to herein as the "Investor Shares"). Whether "cause" exists would then be decided in arbitration
proceedings conducted under the rules of the American Arbitration
Association, rather than in a court proceeding.
These provisions are binding on every person who acquires Class A
Investor Shares, including those who acquire Class A Investor Shares
from a third party, i.e., not from the Company.
The LP Agreement protects the
General Partner and its employees and affiliates from lawsuits brought
by Investors. For example, it provides that the General Partner will not
be liable to the Company for mistakes, errors in judgment, or other acts
or omissions (failures to act) as long as the act or omission was not
the result of the General Partner's fraud or willful misconduct under
the LP Agreement. This limitation on the liability of the General
Partner and other parties is referred to as "exculpation."
The LP Agreement also requires the Company to indemnify (reimburse) the
General Partner, its affiliates, and certain other parties from losses,
liabilities, and expenses they incur in performing their duties. For
example, if a third party sues the General Partner on a matter related
to the Company's business, the Company would be required to indemnify
the General Partner for any losses or expenses it incurs in connection
with the lawsuit, including attorneys' fees. However, if it is
judicially determined that the General Partner is not entitled to be
exculpated under the standard described in the preceding paragraph by
the LP Agreement, the General Partner shall promptly reimburse the
Company for any reimbursed or advanced expenses.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no exculpation or indemnification is
permitted to the extent such exculpation or indemnification would be
inconsistent with the requirements of federal or state securities laws
or other applicable law.
The detailed rules for exculpation and indemnification are set forth in
section 6.02 of the LP Agreement.
Once an Investor pays for his, her, or its Class A Investor Shares, the
Investor will have no obligation to make further contributions to the
Company (except for the return of distributions under certain
circumstances as required by Sections 17-607 and 17-804 of the Delaware
LP Act, as described in more detail under
Liability To Make Additional Contributions below.
Page 39
No Investor will be personally liable for any of the debts or
obligations of the Company.
The manner in which the Company will distribute its available cash is
described in Distributions.
In general, Investors may freely transfer their Class A Investor Shares.
However, if an Investor wants to sell Class A Investor Shares, the
Investor may only offer the Class A Investor Shares to the General
Partner via the Platform. The General Partner generally has a first
right of refusal to purchase Class A Investor Shares pursuant to Article
8 of the LP Agreement. See
Risk Factors-No Market for the Class A Investor Shares; Limits on
Transferability.
If an Investor who is a human being (as opposed to an Investor that is a
legal entity) should die or become incapacitated, the Investor or his,
her or its successors will continue to own the Investor's Class A
Investor Shares.
The Company will pay certain management fees and other fees to the
General Partner, as summarized in
Compensation of General Partner.
The General Partner may require an Investor to sell his, her, or its
Class A Investor Shares back to the Company:
·
If the Investor is an entity governed by the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, Code section 4975, or any similar Federal, State,
or local law, and the General Partner determines that all or any portion
of the assets of the Company would, in the absence of the redemption,
more likely than not be treated as "plan assets" or otherwise become
subject to such laws.
·
If the General Partner determines that the Investor has engaged in
certain misconduct described in the LP Agreement.
If an Investor's Class A Investor Shares are purchased by the Company as
provided above, the purchase price will equal 90% of the Redemption
Price determined in accordance with the Redemption Plan.
The purchase price will be paid by wire transfer or other immediately
available funds.
If the General Partner wants to sell the business conducted by the
Company, it may affect the transaction as a sale of the Project owned by
the Company or as a sale of all the Shares in the Company. In the latter
case, Investors will be required to sell their Class A Investor Shares
as directed by the General Partner, receiving the same amount they would
have received had the transaction been structured as a sale of assets.
Page 40
All documents, including all tax-related documents, will be transmitted
by the Company to Investors via email and/or through the Platform.
The General Partner may amend the LP Agreement unilaterally (that is,
without the consent of anyone else) for a variety of purposes, including
to:
·
Cure ambiguities or inconsistencies in the LP Agreement;
·
Add to its own obligations or responsibilities;
·
Conform to this Offering Circular;
·
Comply with any law;
·
Ensure that the Company isn't treated as an "investment company" within
the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940;
·
Do anything else that could not reasonably be expected to have a
material adverse effect on Investors.
An amendment that has, or could reasonably be expected to have a
material adverse effect on Investors, requires the consent of the
General Partner and Investors holding a majority of the Class A Investor
Shares.
An amendment that would require an Investor to make additional capital
contributions, delete or modify any amendments listed in Section 11.03
of the LP Agreement or impose personal liability on an Investor requires
the consent of the General Partner and each affected Investor.
Within a reasonable period after the end of each fiscal year of the
Company, the General Partner will provide Investors with (i) a
statement showing in reasonable detail the computation of the amount
distributed, and the manner in which it was distributed (ii) a balance
sheet of the Company, (iii) a statement of income and expenses, and (iv)
such additional information as may be required by law. The financial
statements of the Company need not be audited by an independent
certified public accounting firm unless the General Partner so elects or
the law so requires. While the Company currently maintains audited
financial statements, under the LP Agreement, the Company is not
required to maintain audited financial statements unless the General
Partner so elects or the law so requires.
As a "Tier 2" issuer under Regulation A, the Company will also be
required to provide investors with additional information on an ongoing
basis, including annual audited financial statements, annual reports
filed on SEC Form 1-K, semiannual reports filed on SEC Form 1-SA,
special financial reports filed on SEC Form 1-K, and current reports on
SEC Form 1-U. If, however, our Class A Investor Shares are held "of
record" by fewer than 300 persons, these reporting obligations could be
terminated.
A Member's right to see additional information or inspect the books and
records of the Company is limited by the LP Agreement.
Page 41
Distributions made in liquidation of the Company will be made in the
manner described Distributions, depending on whether the
distributions consist of ordinary operating cash flow or net capital
proceeds.
The holders of the Class A Investor Shares will not have preemptive
rights. That means that if the Company decides to issue securities in
the future, the holders of the Class A Investor Shares will not have any
special right to buy those securities.
Once an Investor pays for his, her, or its Class A Investor Shares, the
Investor will have no obligation to make further contributions to the
Company (except for the return of distributions under certain
circumstances as required by Sections 17-607 and 17-804 of the Delaware
LP Act).
Under Section 17-607 of the Delaware LP Act, a limited partnership may
not make a distribution to a partner if, after the distribution, all
liabilities of the limited partnership, other than liabilities to
partners on account of their partnership interests and liabilities for
which the recourse of creditors is limited to specific property of the
limited partnership, would exceed the fair value of the assets of the
limited partnership. The Delaware LP Act provides that a partner who
receives a distribution and knew at the time of the distribution that
the distribution was in violation of Section 17-607 of the Delaware LP
Act shall be liable to the limited partnership for the amount of the
distribution for three years.
Under Section 17-804 of the Delaware LP Act, a limited partnership is
required to distribute its assets: (i) first to creditors, to the extent
otherwise permitted by law, in satisfaction of the limited partnership's
liabilities other than liabilities for which payment has been made and
distributions to partners and former partners; (ii) unless otherwise
provided in its limited partnership agreement, to partners and former
partners in satisfaction of liability for distributions under the
Delaware LP Act; and (iii) unless otherwise provided in its limited
partnership agreement, to partners first for the return of their
contributions and second respecting their partnership interests, in the
portions in which they share in distributions. The Delaware LP Act
provides that a member who receives a distribution and knew at the time
of the distribution that the distribution was in violation of Section
17-804 of the Delaware LP Act shall be liable to the limited partnership
for the amount of the distribution for three years.
In some situations, the General Partner might be required by law to
withhold taxes and/or other amounts from distributions made to
Investors. The amount we withhold will still be treated as part of the
distribution. For example, if we distribute $100 to an Investor and are
required to withhold $10 in taxes, for our purposes the Investor will be
treated as having received a distribution of $100 even though only $90
was deposited in the Investor's bank account.
At this time, all Investors are U.S. persons for all federal tax
purposes. To the extent at any point in the future any Investors may be
non U.S. persons, the distributions to Investors may be subject to
additional tax withholding and other reporting requirements.
The Company can only distribute as much cash flow as the Company has
available for distributions (see Distributions). There is no
guarantee that the Projects will generate enough cash flow, after paying
expenses, to distribute enough to pay a positive return to Investors or
even to return all their invested capital.
Page 42
Investors should note that the General Partner may, in its sole
discretion, amend, suspend, or terminate the Redemption Plan at any time
without prior notice for any reason, and the General Partner reserves
the right to reject any Redemption Request at any time for any reason.
Our Class A Investor Shares are currently not listed on a national
securities exchange or included for quotation on a national securities
market, and currently there is no intention to list our Class A Investor
Shares. While Investors should view an investment in the Company as
long-term, we are adopting a redemption plan ("Redemption Plan")
whereby an Investor has the opportunity to obtain liquidity.
At any time after sixty (60) days following the purchase of Class A
Investor Shares, an Investor may request redemption of their Class A
Investor Shares in accordance with the Company's Redemption Plan as set
forth herein.
In order to submit a redemption request ("Redemption Request")
Investors must (1) submit a time-stamped request via the Platform, (2)
have no more than one outstanding request at any given time, and (3)
request that the Company redeem no more than $50,000 worth of Class A
Investor Shares per request. In addition, the Redemption Plan is subject
to certain liquidity limitations, which may fluctuate depending on the
liquidity of the Company. We reserve the right to reject any Redemption
Request at any time to protect our operations and our non-redeemed
Investors, to prevent an undue burden on our liquidity, or for any other
reason, including, what we deem to be a pattern of excessive, abusive or
short-term trading.
As calculated below, the redemption price ("Redemption Price")
may be reduced by a discount based on the time of the Redemption
Request, rounded down to the nearest cent. The Redemption Price will be
equal to (i) the price of the Class A Investor Shares , reduced by (ii)
the aggregate sum of distributions, if any, with record dates during the
period between the Redemption Request date and the redemption date.
Based on the time when an Investor submits a Redemption Request, the
Redemption Prices are set forth below:
|
Holding Period from Date of Settlement
|
Redemption Price
(as percentage of per share redemption price)(1)
|
|
Settlement date to 60 days
|
No Redemptions
|
|
60 days to 3 years
|
95.0 % (2)
|
|
More than 3 years
|
100.0 % (3)
|
(1)
The Redemption Price will be the per share price for our Class A
Investor Shares in effect as of the time the Redemption Request is
made (i) reduced by any distributions, if any, with record dates
during the period between the Redemption Request date and the
redemption date and (ii) rounded down to the nearest $0.01.
(2) For Class A Investor Shares held between 60 days and three (3) years,
the Redemption Price includes a fixed 5.0% discount.
(3)
There is no discount to redemptions of Class A Investor Shares held
at least three (3) years.
Investors may withdraw their Redemption
Request at any time before the redemption is paid. If we agree to honor
a Redemption Request, such Redemption Request will be paid within 90
days.
In light of the SEC's current guidance on redemption plans, we generally
intend to limit redemptions in any calendar quarter to Class A Investor
Shares whose aggregate value is 5.00% of the NAV of all of our
outstanding Class A Investor Shares on the last business day of the
preceding quarter, with excess capacity carried over to later calendar
quarters in that Calendar Year, up to a maximum of 20.00% of the NAV of
all of our Class A Investor Shares outstanding during any Calendar Year.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, we are not obligated to redeem Class A
Investor Shares under the Redemption Plan.
Page 43
We cannot guarantee that the funds, if any, set aside for the Redemption
Plan will be sufficient to accommodate all Redemption Requests. In the
event our General Partner determines, in its sole discretion, that we do
not have sufficient funds available to redeem all of the Class A
Investor Shares for which Redemption Requests have been submitted, such
pending Redemption Requests will be honored on a first in first out
basis, if at all. In the event that not all Redemption Requests are
being honored in a given quarter, due to reaching the 5.00% quarterly
limit or otherwise, the Redemption Requests not fully honored will carry
over to the first business day of the next quarter and Investors will
not need to submit a new Redemption Request the following quarter.
Investors will be notified within 10 days of submitting a Redemption
Request whether their request for Redemption has been accepted or
denied.
We intend to limit Investors to one (1) Redemption Request outstanding
at any given time, meaning that, if an Investor desires to request more
or less Class A Investor Shares be redeemed, such Investor must first
withdraw the first Redemption Request. For Investors who hold Class A
Investor Shares with more than one record date, Redemption Requests will
be applied to such Class A Investor Shares in the order in which they
settled, on a first in first out basis - meaning, those Class A Investor
Shares that have been continuously held for the longest amount of time
will be redeemed first. In addition, we intend to limit Redemption
Requests to $50,000 worth of Class A Investor Shares per Redemption
Request.
In addition, our General Partner may, in its sole discretion, amend,
suspend, or terminate the Redemption Plan at any time without prior
notice, including to protect our operations and our non-redeemed
Investors, to prevent an undue burden on our liquidity, following any
material decrease in our NAV, or for any other reason. In the event that
we suspend our Redemption Plan, we expect that we will reject any
outstanding Redemption Requests and do not intend to accept any new
Redemption Requests. In the event that we amend, suspend or terminate
our Redemption Plan, we will file an Offering Circular supplement and/or
Form 1-U, as appropriate, and post such information on the Platform to
disclose such action. Therefore, you may not have the opportunity to
make a Redemption Request prior to any potential termination of our
Redemption Plan.
Investors will own the majority of the Class A Investor Shares while the
General Partner will own all the Common Shares. As of December 31, 2025,
the General Partner did not own any Class A Investor Shares as described
herein. The principal rights associated with the Common Shares are as
follows:
·
Voting Rights: The Common Shares will have no voting
rights per se. However, the General Partner, in its capacity
as the general partner of the Company, will control the Company.
·
Obligation to Contribute Capital: Holders of the Common Shares
will have no obligation to contribute capital to the Company.
·
Redemptions: Holders of the Common Shares will have no right to
have Common Shares redeemed.
To purchase Class A Investor Shares, you are required to sign an
investment agreement, the forms of which are attached hereto (See How to Invest). Each of the Investment Agreements enable Investors to make an
initial purchase of Class A Investor Shares (to the extent the Investor
is making a one-time purchase of the Class A Investor Shares). The
Auto-Invest Agreement and the Auto-Reinvestment Agreement permit an
Investor to make a one-time purchase of Class A Investor Shares and/or
enable an Investor to elect to make additional purchases of Class A
Investor Shares, pursuant to the terms of this Offering, on a periodic
basis, by either (i) establishing with the Company, a plan for the
Investor to automatically invest in the Offering on a periodic basis,
subject to the terms of an Auto-Invest Agreement signed by the Investor
and the Company or (ii) to reinvest the distributions the Investor
receives from their Class A Investor Shares into the purchase of
additional Class A Investor Shares, subject to the terms and conditions
of the an Auto-Reinvestment Agreement, signed by the Investor and the
Company.
Page 44
The Investment Agreements will limit your rights in several important
ways if you believe you have claims against us arising from the purchase
of your Class A Investor Shares:
Any claims arising from your purchase of Class A Investor Shares must be
brought in the state or federal courts located in Wilmington, Delaware,
which might not be convenient to you.
You would not be entitled to recover any lost profits or special,
consequential, or punitive damages. However, that limitation does not
apply to claims arising under federal securities laws.
To the extent an Investor elects to automatically invest in the Offering
on a periodic basis, such Investor will be subject to the terms and
conditions of an Auto-Invest Agreement, which include, but are not
limited to the following:
·
Upon signing the Auto-Invest Agreement, the Investor will indicate the
number of additional Class A Investor Shares ("Additional Shares") the Investor intends to purchase and the intervals at which the
Investor will make such purchases, following their initial purchase of
Class A Investor Shares, on the Investor Information Sheet attached
thereto.
·
Price: The price of Additional Shares to be purchased by
Investor shall be the same price at which Class A Investor Shares are
then being offered in the Offering.
·
Opt Out: The Investor will have the ability cancel or pause the
Auto-Investments from the Purchaser's online Energea account settings
(https://www.energea.com/users/auto-invest), or by giving the Company at
least (30) calendar days' notice (via email).
·
Termination: In accordance with Regulation A, the Investor will
no longer be permitted to make Auto-Investments after the Offering is
terminated.
·
Limitation: The law limits how much an investor who is not
"accredited" within the meaning of 17 CFR §230.501(a) may invest in
the Offering. As such, the Investor's investments could be subject to a
cutback, and the Auto-Invest Agreement subject to termination, in the
event the Company meets or exceeds the maximum amount of the Offering
or, in the event the investor is non-accredited, the Investor's
cumulative amount of investments with the Company meets or exceeds the
maximum investment amounts permitted by a non-accredited investor under
Regulation A. Under either circumstance, the Investor would be redeemed
for those Class A Investor Shares subject to the cutback.
·
No Transfer of Shares: The Investor will be prohibited from
transferring the Shares purchased pursuant to the terms of the
Auto-Invest Agreement without complying with the terms of the LP
Agreement, subject to rights of first refusal in favor of the Company
and securities laws limitations.
·
Forum Selection: The Auto-Invest Agreement is governed by the
internal laws of Delaware. Pursuant to the terms of the Auto-Invest
Agreement, if the Investor is not otherwise subject to service of
process in Delaware, the Investor agrees to appoint and maintain an
agent in Delaware to accept service, and to notify the Company of the
name and address of such agent.
·
Potential for Cutback of Additional Shares Purchased: As a Tier
2 offering under Rule 251(a), the Investor's Class A Investor Shares
could be
subject to a cutback, and the agreement subject to termination, in
the event the Company meets or exceeds the maximum amount of the
Offering or, in the event the investor is non-accredited, the
Investor's cumulative amount of investments with the Company meets or
exceeds the maximum investment amounts permitted by a non-accredited
investor under Regulation A. Under either circumstance, the investor
would be redeemed for those Class A Investor Shares subject to the
cutback.
Page 45
To the extent an Investor elects to reinvest the distributions the
Investor receives from their Class A Investor Shares into the purchase
of additional Class A Investor Shares, such Investor will be subject to
the terms and conditions of an Auto-Invest Agreement, which include, but
are not limited to the following:
·
By signing the Auto-Reinvestment Agreement, the investor will agree to
use a portion of the amount of the distributions received from the
Company through the Investor's ownership of Class A Investor Shares to
purchase Additional Shares.
·
Price: The price of Additional Shares to be purchased by
Investor shall be the same price at which Class A Investor Shares are
then being offered in the Offering.
·
Opt Out: The Investor will have the ability cancel or pause the
Auto-Investments from the Purchaser's online Energea account settings
(https://www.energea.com/users/auto-invest), or by giving the Company at
least (30) calendar days' notice (via email).
·
Termination: In accordance with Regulation A, the Investor will
no longer be permitted to make Auto-Reinvestments after the Offering is
terminated.
·
Limitation: The law limits how much an investor who is not
"accredited" within the meaning of 17 CFR §230.501(a) may invest in
the Offering. As such, the Investor's investments could be subject to a
cutback, and the Auto-Reinvestment Agreement subject to termination, in
the event the Company meets or exceeds the maximum amount of the
Offering or, in the event the investor is non-accredited, the Investor's
cumulative amount of investments with the Company meets or exceeds the
maximum investment amounts permitted by a non-accredited investor under
Regulation A. Under either circumstance, the Investor would be redeemed
for those Class A Investor Shares subject to the cutback.
·
Investor Promises: The Investor promises, among other things,
that the Shares shall not be transferred without complying with the
terms of the LP Agreement, subject to rights of first refusal and
securities laws limits.
·
Forum Selection: The Auto-Reinvestment Agreement is governed by
the internal laws of Delaware. If the Investor is not otherwise subject
to service of process in Delaware, the Investor agrees to appoint and
maintain an agent in Delaware to accept service, and to notify the
Company of the name and address of such agent.
·
Potential for Cutback of Additional Shares Purchased: As a Tier
2 offering under Rule 251(a), the Investor's Class A Investor Shares
could be
subject to a cutback, and the agreement subject to termination, in
the event the Company meets or exceeds the maximum amount of the
Offering or, in the event the investor is non-accredited, the
Investor's cumulative amount of investments with the Company meets or
exceeds the maximum investment amounts permitted by a non-accredited
investor under Regulation A. Under either circumstance, the investor
would be redeemed for those Class A Investor Shares subject to the
cutback.
With respect to auto-reinvestments, investors will receive an email
notification that the Company has made a distribution. The email will
indicate what portion of the distribution will be reinvested to purchase
additional Class A Investor Shares and will include a hyperlink to the
then-current Offering Statement.
Page 46
The Company maintains a ledger of each non-accredited investor to track
the amounts such investor has made in order to ensure compliance with
the exemption. Furthermore, the Company maintains a robust
record-keeping system in order to monitor amounts raised under the
Offering. To the extent the Company exceeds the total Offering amount,
the Company will redeem those investors whose purchases of Class A
Investor Shares were in excess of the limits of the Offering and all
Auto-Reinvestment Agreements will be terminated, in each instance,
pursuant to their terms.
Upon receipt of the investor's Re-Investment Agreement, Investor
Information Sheet, and confirmation that the investor has created an
account on the Platform, the Company will take reasonable steps to
evaluate whether the information the investor has provided is sufficient
to establish whether such investor is accredited. If the investor is not
accredited, then pursuant to Rule 251(d)(2)(i)(C), the Company will
determine if the non-accredited investor's aggregate purchase price to
be paid by the investor is no more than ten percent (10%) of the greater
of such investor's: (1) annual income or net worth if a natural person;
or (2) revenue or net assets for such purchaser's most recently
completed fiscal year end if a non-natural person. The investor will
provide this information on the Investor Information Sheet and on the
Platform.
To buy Class A Investor Shares, go to the Platform and follow the
instructions. You will be asked for certain information about yourself,
including:
·
Your name and address
·
Your email address
·
Your social security number (for tax reporting purposes)
·
Whether you are an "accredited investor"
·
If you not an accredited investor, your income and net worth
You will also be asked to sign an Investment Agreement, a copy of which
is available
here.
To the extent you wish to participate in the Offering by automatically
investing on a periodic basis, you will be asked to sign an Auto-Invest
Agreement, a copy of which is available
here.
To the extent you wish to participate in the Offering by electing to use
the amount of distributions that you receive to purchase additional
Class A Investor Shares, you will be asked to sign an Auto-Reinvestment
Agreement, a copy of which is provided
here.
The minimum investment is $100. You will pay for your Class A Investor
Shares using one of the options described on the Platform.
The information you submit, including your signed Investment Agreement,
is called your "subscription." The General Partner will review your
subscription and decide whether to accept it. The General Partner has
the right to accept or reject subscriptions in our sole discretion, for
any reason or for no reason.
When you invest, your money will be held in an escrow account with a
third party until your subscription is reviewed and the General Partner
decides whether to accept it. When and if the General Partner confirms
that your subscription is complete and decided to accept your
subscription, the General Partner will release your money from the
escrow account to the Company.
Once the General Partner has accepted your subscription, you will be
notified by email and the investment process will be complete. The
General Partner will also notify you by email if it does not accept your
subscription, although it might not explain why.
Page 47
You will not be issued a paper certificate representing your Class A
Investor Shares.
Anyone can buy Class A Investor Shares. The General Partner does not
intend to limit investment to people with a certain income level or net
worth, although there are limits on how much non-accredited investors
may invest in this Offering.
As long as an Investor is at least 18 years old, they can invest in this
Offering. But if the Investor not an "accredited" investor, the amount
they can invest is limited by law.
Under 17 CFR §230.501, a regulation issued by the SEC, the term
"accredited investor" means:
·
A natural person who has individual net worth, or joint net worth with
the person's spouse, that exceeds $1 million at the time of the
purchase, excluding the value of the primary residence of such person;
·
A natural person with income exceeding $200,000 in each of the two most
recent years or joint income with a spouse exceeding $300,000 for those
years and a reasonable expectation of the same income level in the
current year;
·
A trust with assets in excess of $5 million, not formed for the
specific purpose of acquiring the securities offered, whose purchase is
directed by a sophisticated person;
·
A business in which all the equity owners are accredited investors;
·
An employee benefit plan, within the meaning of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act, if a bank, insurance company, or registered
investment adviser makes the investment decisions, or if the plan has
total assets in excess of $5 million;
·
A bank, insurance company, registered investment company, business
development company, or small business investment company;
·
A charitable organization, corporation, or partnership, not formed for
the specific purpose of acquiring the securities offered, with total
assets exceeding $5 million; or
·
A director, executive officer, or general partner of the company
selling the securities, or any director, executive officer, or general
partner of a general partner of that issuer.
If the Investor falls within any of those categories, then the Investor
can invest any amount permitted on the Platform. If the Investor does
not fall within any of those categories, then the most they can invest
in this Offering is the greater of:
·
10% of their annual income; or
·
10% of their net worth.
These limits are imposed by law, not by the Company.
The Company will determine whether an Investor is accredited when he,
she, or it creates an account on the Platform.
