Etrion Provides Update on Italian Operations and Schedules Investor Conference Call


June 25, 2014, Geneva, Switzerland – Etrion Corporation (Etrion or the Company)
(TSX: ETX / OMX: ETX), a solar independent power producer, provides an update on
the Company’s Italian operations and schedules an investor conference call at
10:00 Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) / 16:00 Central European Time (CET) on
Thursday, June 26, 2014.
Italian Government Proposal

On June 24, 2014, the Italian government published a new decree outlining, among
other things, certain proposed changes to the current Italian Feed-in-Tariff
(FiT) regime. This decree, effective June 25, 2014, is subject to Parliamentary
approval, which is expected to take place within 60 days of the decree’s
publication, during which time, the new decree may be amended or fully rejected.

The Italian FiT currently entails a 20-year commitment from the Italian state
-owned company, Gestore Servizi Energetici (GSE), to pay a constant premium rate
for all solar electricity produced at a fixed rate defined on the basis of the
connection date. Etrion’s Italian solar parks have an average residual incentive
period of 16 years. In addition to the FiT, solar power generators in Italy
receive the spot market rate for all solar electricity produced. In 2013, the
spot market accounted for approximately 15% of Etrion’s Italian revenues.

The proposed changes would impact the revenues received by solar power producers
by reducing the annual FiT incentive to be paid by the GSE. Specifically, the
proposal outlines a reduction of the original FiT, effective January 2015,
between 17% and 25%, depending on the remaining incentive period, offset by an
extension of the incentive period from 20 to 24 years. Alternatively, solar
power producers can voluntarily elect a flat 8% reduction of the FiT for the
remaining incentive period without an extension. In addition, the new decree
introduces certain changes to the payment of the FiT, starting July 2014,
whereby approximately 10% is delayed until June of the following year.

The final implementation of the law is uncertain, and it is possible that
changes to the new decree may be introduced by Parliament. Etrion is working
closely with legal advisors and project lenders to assess the implications of
the proposed decree.

Management Comments

Marco A. Northland, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “I am very
disappointed with the measures proposed by the Italian government and the impact
this could have on the solar market and foreign direct investment in Italy.
Although this proposed decree is not yet final, we have started to analyse the
potential impact such decree may have on our Italian portfolio and are exploring
options to best optimize the economics given Etrion’s strong track record in
Italy and above expectation performance. The proposed changes highlight the
importance of our strategy shift two years ago to diversify into new markets
with different contract regimes.”

Mr. Northland continued, “All of our growth plans today are focused on countries
outside of Europe, and Italy represents less than 50% of our expected installed
capacity in 2015. In Chile, construction of the 70 MW Project Salvador is ahead
of schedule, and we expect to begin generating electricity by the end of Q4
-2014. In Japan, we expect to reach financial close on our first two projects
with a combined capacity of 34 MW by the end of Q3-2014 and begin construction
by the end of the year.”

Investor Conference Call

A conference call/webcast to discuss the proposed changes will be held on
