3 CPILP strategic review concludes |
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 CPCs 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 |

(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, CPILPs facilities outside of North Carolina would become part of Atlantics generation fleet.
