CORPORATE HISTORY

Throughout its history, Horizon has gone through several stages and business models. The Company began in 1998 as a “build-transfer” developer known as Zilkha Renewable Energy, followed by a period of ownership by Goldman Sachs as a “developer-owner-operator” beginning in 2005. EDP acquired Horizon on July 2, 2007. In December 2007, Horizon’s ownership was transferred from EDP to EDPR. In June 2008, EDP listed 22.5% shares of EDP Renováveis in an initial public offering on the Euronext Lisbon Stock Exchange, upon which it immediately became a member of the benchmark Portuguese Stock Index-20 (PSI-20) as its fifth-largest company by market capitalization.
