OPC noted the following with respect to the Consolidated Project: The planning and development procedures for the Consolidated Project are in preliminary stages, and the approvals required for developing and planning of the Consolidated Project have not yet been obtained, and there is no certainty that these approvals will be obtained or as to the time it will take to obtain such approvals.

The development of the Consolidated Project and its execution is subject to various conditions, including the approval of a plan (which includes the assessment of planning, environmental and security issues, planning of connection to the grid and transmission capabilities), obtaining permits, executing construction, securing the connection to the grid, licensing and regulatory terms and conditions (including regulations), contracting relevant suppliers (including equipment and construction suppliers) and securing funding, which have not yet materialized and may not materialize and the final terms and conditions are uncertain.
