PRESS RELEASE PARIS LA DÉFENSE, 14 APRIL 2015

ACQUISITION OF 14 PHOTOVOLTAIC POWER PLANTS ON REUNION ISLAND (3 MWP)

Albioma has acquired 14 rooftop photovoltaic power plants from Ciel et Terre and Samfi Invest. The new facilities, located on Reunion Island, have a combined power generating capacity of 3 MWp.

Electricity generated by these installations, which were commissioned in 2010/2011, will be sold via contracts with a residual term of 16 years.

As the new facilities are located close to Albioma's existing photovoltaic power plants, they will benefit from the proximity and technical expertise of the Group's operating teams, generating significant synergies.

This acquisition increases the Group's photovoltaic installed capacity on Reunion Island to 26.5 MWp, representing 16% of total local capacity. Albioma thus becomes the region's first photovoltaic power producer.

Albioma now operates photovoltaic power plants with a total capacity of 74 MWp.

Next on the agenda: turnover for the first quarter of the 2015 financial year, on 29 April 2015 before trading hours.

Albioma is an independent energy producer and world leader in the conversion of biomass into a highlyeffective source of energy, in collaboration with its agri-business partners. For more than 20 years, Albioma has operated power plants recovering bagasse, a fibrous by-product of sugar cane, replaced by coal outside the sugar cane harvest. Its unique expertise has enabled Albioma to establish itself as an indispensable partner in the sugar and ethanol industry in the French overseas territories and Mauritius. Albioma is now developing power plants using only biomass, which recover, in addition to bagasse, green waste and wood industry residue. The Group also operates a highly-efficient photovoltaic installation and agricultural anaerobic digestion units. In 2014, the Group, which already had a presence in mainland France, the French overseas territories and Mauritius, began operating in Brazil, the world's leading sugar cane producer.
