CLI provides 100% of costs for to-be-built sustainable energy projects, in exchange for a CLI lease with either of the following two options: CLI buys land and provides a Major Company with 100% of project costs. The Major Company leases land and improvements from CLI and the Major Company subleases the land and improvements to an industry-related company that will operate the energy project (“Project Operator”). The Sublease payments are fixed in the amount equal to the CLI rent (“Base Rent”) plus 50% of the Project Operator’s projected net income after Base Rent. At the end of the CLI lease term, the Major Company buys out CLI for $1.00 and the Major Company owns the land and improvements free and clear.  CLI buys land and provides 100% of project improvement costs to a 50/50 joint venture (“JV”) between the Major Company and Project Operator. The JV leases the land and improvements from CLI. The Major Company receives 50% of the JV’s net income after the CLI lease payment in exchange for a lease guaranty from the Major Company. At the end of the lease term, the JV buys out CLI for $1.00 and the JV owns the project free and clear of any debt. PROJECT COSTS: $10-300 million LEASE TYPE: Absolute Triple net with Lessee buying out CLI for $1.00 at the end of the lease term. LEASE TERM: 10-20 years LEASE PAYMENTS: CLI initial annualized rent is typically at an interest rate well below commercial rates and major company corporate bond yields. Annual rent escalations are typically 3.00%.
