Juhl Energy, Inc. Announces Reverse Split of Its Stock

PIPESTONE, MN--(Marketwired - Jan 29, 2016) - Juhl Energy Inc. (OTC PINK: JUHL) (the "Company"), a leading provider of Clean Energy Solutions and the Leader in Community Wind Power, announced today that a 1-for-10,000 reverse split of all outstanding shares of its common and preferred stock (hereinafter called "Capital Stock") will be effective on February 1, 2016.

The Company's board of directors (the "Board") recommended and the holders of a majority of our Capital Stock approved a 1-for-10,000 reverse stock split (the "Reverse Stock Split") of the Company's stock in which each 10,000 shares would be converted into one (1) share of stock. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split, and stockholders holding fractional share interests will be entitled to receive a cash payment in lieu of fractional share interests calculated at $0.216 per share of stock on a pre-split basis.

The Company established a Special Committee comprised of independent directors which recommended the reverse stock split to the Board after it considered a number of alternatives to address the lack of liquidity for the Company's stockholders. As part of their recommendation, the Company's Special Committee considered, among other things, the probability of a merger or sale of the Company; the relative illiquidity of the Company's common stock; and also considered the fairness opinion of an independent investment banking firm.

The Company's common stock is no longer traded on the OTCQB, but is traded on the OTC Markets Pink Sheet platform. Any trading conducted upon or following the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split will be conducted on a post-split basis. The new symbol will be JUHLD. The "D" will be removed in 20 business days and the symbol will then revert back to JUHL.

Following the effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split, the Company will have 10,000 shares of Common Stock authorized, of which approximately 3,666 shares will be issued and outstanding, and the Company will have 2,000 shares of preferred stock authorized consisting of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock, of which no shares of Series A Preferred Stock will be issued or outstanding and approximately 12 shares of Series B Preferred Stock will be issued and outstanding.
