VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / February 14, 2024 / RE Royalties Ltd. (TSXV:RE)(OTCQX:RROYF) ("RE Royalties" or the "Company"), a global leader in renewable energy royalty financing, is pleased to announce that further to its news release dated October 4, 2023, Revolve Renewable Power Corp. (TSXV:REVV) ("Revolve"), has completed the acquisition (the "Acquisition") of WindRiver Power Corporation ("WindRiver"), a Canadian based owner, operator and developer of wind and hydro projects in the Provinces of British Columbia and Alberta.

The Company provided a CAD $4.0 million secured loan (the "Loan") to support Revolve's acquisition of Windriver.

The Company also received a structuring fee of 1.0% on the Loan value at closing, and a gross revenue royalty of 0.5% on the acquired operating projects during the term of the Loan, growing to a gross revenue royalty of 1.0% upon repayment of the Loan for the remaining life of the power purchase agreements.

The Acquisition includes a minority ownership (21%) in two operational run-of-river hydro projects in British Columbia, and a majority ownership (51%) in an operational wind project in Alberta with a combined gross capacity of 23 MW (the "Operational Projects"). It also includes a majority ownership (70 to 87.5%) in two development-stage hydro projects in British Columbia with a combined gross capacity of 90 MW.

The Operational Projects receive revenue from Power Purchase Agreements with a prominent provincial utility and a municipal entity, for the hydro projects and the wind project, respectively. The Operational Projects have PPAs with remaining terms ranging from 32-35 years for the hydro projects and 11 years for the wind project.
