Recap: the CPILP strategic review 4 In October 2010, Capital Power Corporation (CPC) and Capital Power Income LP (CPILP) announced a strategic review Phase 1. The review looked at options for maximizing value for CPILP unitholders and CPC shareholders. Some of the options considered: 100% sale of CPILP (Capital Power would not participate) Spin-out of CPILP into a standalone company Sale of CPC’s interest and management agreement to a third-party Phase 2. The first phase concluded that a 100% sale of CPILP was the best way to maximize value for unitholder and shareholders. The second phase of the review was a sales process. The sales process has resulted in transaction agreements, announced today. However, if for any reason the transactions do not close, we would expect to return to the other options evaluated in Phase 1

 


CPILP strategic review concludes with transaction agreements 5 Capital Power Corp. (CPC) to acquire the Roxboro and Southport plants from CPILP Atlantic Power Corporation (Atlantic) to acquire CPILP and its 18 facilities outside of North Carolina Upon closing, CPILP’s facilities outside of North Carolina would become part of Atlantic’s generation fleet. CPILP unitholders would receive a mix of cash and Atlantic common shares The proposed transactions are supported by the Independent Directors of CPILP and the Boards of CPC and Atlantic Conditions must be met in order for the transactions to occur, including approval votes by CPILP unitholders and Atlantic shareholders expected in Q4 2011 If the transactions proceed, closing is expected in late 2011.
