​October 1, 2013  – Capital Power Corporation (TSX: CPX) (“Capital Power”) and EPCOR Utilities Inc. (“EPCOR”) announced today that EPCOR has entered into an agreement with a syndicate of underwriters, co-led by RBC Capital Markets, CIBC and Scotiabank, as bookrunners, for a secondary offering by a subsidiary of EPCOR, on a bought deal basis, of 9,600,000 common shares of Capital Power at an offering price of $21.00 per common share. Capital Power will not receive any of the proceeds ($201.6 million, before giving effect to the over-allotment option) from the sale of common shares by EPCOR’s subsidiary.

The underwriters have also been granted an option to purchase up to an additional 1,440,000 common shares at the issue price to cover over-allotments, if any, for additional gross proceeds of approximately $30,240,000. The over-allotment option is exercisable, in whole or in part, by the underwriters at any time up to 30 days after the closing of the offering. Capital Power will not receive any proceeds from the exercise of the over-allotment option.

The proceeds from the current offering will be used by EPCOR for repayment of commercial paper indebtedness and for general corporate purposes. After giving effect to this offering, but before giving effect to the over-allotment option, EPCOR will indirectly own approximately 19.0% of the common shares of Capital Power on a fully diluted basis. EPCOR plans to eventually sell all or a substantial portion of its remaining interest in Capital Power subject to market conditions, its requirements for capital and other circumstances that may arise in the future.

The common shares will be offered in all provinces and territories of Canada by way of a prospectus supplement to a base shelf prospectus of Capital Power. The offering will also be extended to Qualified Institutional Buyers in the United States pursuant to the exemptions from registration provided by Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”). Closing of the offering is expected to occur on or about October 10, 2013.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities of Capital Power in the United States or in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation of sale would be unlawful. These securities have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act or any U.S. state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States except in compliance with the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable U.S. state securities laws or pursuant to an exemption therefrom.
