Solar Energy Initiatives spins off Solar Park Initiatives

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, USA: Solar Energy Initiatives Inc., executing on its corporate mission to Renew The Nation via economic development through the sale and installation of solar thermal, photovoltaic (PV) and other solar technologies, announced that it will be spinning off Solar Park Initiatives Inc., its wholly owned solar park company.

SNRY’s shareholders of record, as of October 15, 2009, will receive one common share of Solar Park Initiatives, Inc. for every two common shares of SNRY owned. The transaction is cash and tax free for all SNRY shareholders. SNRY’s shareholders as of the record date will not be required to pay for any shares distributed to them, take any action to receive the stock dividend, and will be classified as a “tax free” transaction for SNRY shareholders.

It is anticipated that Solar Park Initiatives will announce the hiring of key management, with extensive business and alternative energy backgrounds, in the next 30 days. It is believed that Solar Park Initiatives will begin trading as a public company by late 2009 or early 2010.

As a result of the spin-off, both companies are expected to benefit from sharper management focus, clearer strategic vision and greater opportunities to access and allocate capital, while concentrating on investments in their respective growth areas. The anticipated result is enhanced value for all shareholders.

Solar Park Initiatives will focus on developing large utility-scale solar parks. Under this arrangement the new company will manage a previously announced West Texas solar park project (estimated to be over 300 megawatts) while pursuing other solar park projects currently under evaluation by SNRY.

Solar Park Initiatives will target projects ranging from 10 to 500 megawatts in geographies favorable for development. SNRY will procure the solar system technologies for Solar Park Initiatives’ projects, thus enabling both companies to enjoy a symbiotic relationship while focusing on their core businesses.

David Fann, CEO of Solar Energy Initiatives, stated: “With a pipeline of $100 million in commercial/municipal solar projects, and the exceptional opportunities facing our solar park company, we felt that this was the right time for this transaction. Our Board of Directors decided to spin off the solar park company based on the opportunity to create a second successful public company that would benefit our shareholders.

“SNRY is ideally positioned to assist municipalities, located around the US, to go solar and benefit from low cost, high return solar solutions, while Solar Park Initiatives, Inc. will focus on large scale power plants, providing power to the residential sector while reducing strain on the grid. This spin off is consistent with the strategy we have been executing to position SNRY for long-term growth, while creating value for our shareholders.”
