Aix-en-Provence (France), September 29, 2014. Global EcoPower (FR0011289198 - ALGEP), a turnkey constructor of power plants using renewable energy sources, announces the launch by its subsidiary held up to 99.98%, the company INVESTEOLE, of a bond issue of a maximum amount of 4,900,000 euros.

The company INVESTEOLE, unlisted public company, with capital of € 37,000, registered under number 510 867 047 by the trade register of Aix-en-Provence, having its registered office at 75, rue Denis Papin, 13857 Aix-en-Provence, is dedicated to the holding and financing of wind farms and in particular the wind farm “Parc Eolien de la Vallée du Don”.

PURPOSE OF ISSUE

The bond issue is mainly intended to finance the construction of a wind farm « Parc Eolien de la Vallée du Don » with an installed capacity of 10 MW (5 turbines of 2 MW each), in order to operate it and possibly sell it to a third party investor. It will finance on an ancillary basis (approximately 32.6%) the needs arising from the daily operation of this project as well as those destined to allow seizing additional investment opportunities in wind power.

The assets will be legally held by the 100% subsidiary of INVESTEOLE, the company PARC EOLIEN DE LA VALLEE DU DON, a société par actions simplifiée with capital of 5.000 euros, registered under number 537 862 077 by the trade register of Aix-en-Provence, having its registered office at 75, rue Denis Papin, 13857 Aix-en-Provence. The operational management of the plant will be fully entrusted to Global EcoPower.

TERMS OF ISSUE

The decision to launch the bond issue was taken by the Board of Directors of INVESTEOLE on September 24, 2014. The main features of the bond issue are the following:

• The bond loan equals to the issuance of a total of four thousand nine hundred (4,900) bonds with a nominal value of one thousand (1,000) euros each;

• The Bonds will be issued at a subscription price equal to their nominal value of one thousand (1,000) euros;

• Coupon paid as follows:

• The maturity of the bonds is set at December 31, 2018 ;

• The bond will be complementary to bank financing granted to the company PARC EOLIEN DE LA VALLEE DU DON, currently being negotiated, amounting to about 12 million euros over 15 years, secured by several tangible and intangible security rights and backed by the assets and revenues of the power plant;

• Risk factors, including those related to the subordinated nature of the bondholders in relation to the bank lenders, to the absence of sequestration of funds guaranteeing compliance with the early redemption clause or to the part of bond financing not assigned to the plant and therefore not backed by its assets, are described in the Terms and Conditions governing the issue.
