Sharing the Company's rationale behind the divestment of the Chilean operations, Mike Garland, CEO of Pattern Energy, said:

"The price represents a 30 percent uplift over El Arrayán Wind's contribution to the Company's current value. While the purchase price demonstrates material embedded value in our assets, the primary reason for the sale was strategic. Chile was a good candidate for sale as it was one of the higher cost operations in our fleet because of the distance from the rest of our operations and the different legal, tax and regulatory environments."

Details of the Divestment

Pattern Energy's operations in Chile includes an 81 megawatt (MW) owned interest in the 115 MW El Arrayán Wind project. Affiliates of Arroyo Energy Investors have agreed to pay $67 million in cash for Pattern Energy's Chilean operations. The offer price represents a cash available for distribution (CAFD) multiple that is higher than the CAFD multiple for projects the Company has acquired in the past. The deal is expected to close in within 90 days of the signing of the agreement subject to customary closing conditions.

With the divestment, the Company expects that it will reduce annual spending of over $1 million related to administrative expenses of managing the operations in Chile. The Company plans to utilize the proceeds from the sale of operation for general corporate purposes including reducing of debt, strategic acquisitions, share buyback, etc.

The sale of El Arrayán Wind project was conducted simultaneously along with the sale of Conejo Solar project which is owned by Pattern Energy Group LP. The Conejo Solar project is also being sold to Arroyo. The Conflicts Committee of the Board of Directors of Pattern Energy reviewed the sale of El Arrayán Wind project after taking the Company's conflict of interest policies into consideration. Accordingly, Pattern Energy waived off its Right of First Offer (ROFO) for the Conejo Solar project. The Company's Board approved the sale of El Arrayán Wind project and the ROFO for the Conejo Solar project.
