UTILITIES: RAME ENERGY (RAME.L); 15.125p/�14.4m CORP UPDATE: SIGNIFICANT FUNDING TERMS AGREED
� Following on from its financing agreement with Banco Santander on its first wind projects, Raki and Huajache (15MW of capacity), Rame has now signed Indicative Terms with Santander for equity financing on its next four projects in Chile with a combined capacity of 118 MW.

This is an exclusive framework agreement including indicative terms with Santander Investment Chile Limitada ("Santander") for up to US$69m of equity financing. � Subject to due diligence and final contracts, Santander would fund 80 to 90 per cent of the equity capital for the project as well as being responsible for structuring the debt packages.

Rame would contribute the balance of the equity.

Further, as part of the Agreement, Rame has a Call Option Right to acquire Santanders equity upon commencement of the commercial operations, based on an already agreed formula. � Importantly, the Terms also stipulates that Santander would pay an already agreed price per MW to Rame on purchasing its interests as well as contracting Rame to oversee the build-out of all four projects.

This would provide both an injection of cash into Rame, which would help fund its own equity positions, and project management fees during the construction phase. � The Terms envisage that the four projects commence commercial operations by 31 December 2015 at the latest, with this being a slight acceleration on our previously assumed timetable for the last project. � Finally, The Terms also specify that Santander should be consider first for the equity financing of future projects developed by Rame up until 31 December 2016, suggesting that it remains keen to work with Rame beyond the projects captured in the above arrangement. � Full initiation to follow in due course. NORTHLAND UK VIEW: Given this development, we remain confident that Rame is delivering on its strategy to become an independent power provider ("IPP") in Chile by the end of this year and that it will have over 100MW of installed capacity by the end of 2015.

Our valuation on Rame in the pre-IPO note was based on a risked-weighted NPV model; given that we see the agreement as de-risking the financing of these projects, we are now reviewing our previous US$40m company valuation with a likely revision to the upside.

Full initiation to follow in due course.

Under the Terms it is proposed that, subject to due diligence and final contracts, Santander would acquire each project for an already agreed price per MW and provide between 80 and 90 per cent.

Rame shall contribute the balance of the equity and Santander shall be responsible for structuring the debt packages. The Terms envisage that the four projects commence commercial operations by 31 December 2015 at the latest.

As part of the Agreement, the Company has a Call Option Right to acquire Santanders equity upon commencement of the commercial operations, based on an already agreed formula.

In addition, Rame will be contracted by Santander to oversee the construction of all four projects.

The Terms also specify that Santander should be considered first for the equity financing of future projects developed by Rame up until 31 December 2016.

The Terms allow us to monetise the true market value of our development activities prior to construction, further enhance our earnings visibility and provide us with a clearly defined and de-risked route to full ownership at completion.

We will be working closely with Santander to satisfy the various due diligence requirements and conditions precedent to move to a full contract and shareholders agreement on each project as we did with our first two projects, Raki and Huajache, both of which remain on track to become operational in Q4 2014.

I look forward to providing further updates in due course." **ENDS**
