Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 6, 2024) - Synex Renewable Energy Corporation (TSX: SXI) ("Synex" or the "Company") today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Sea Breeze Power Corp. ("Sea Breeze"), has entered into a definitive agreement (the "Asset Purchase Agreement") with a leading renewable energy company (the "Buyer") pursuant to which Sea Breeze has agreed to sell to the Buyer its wind energy project known as the Bouleau Mountain Wind Project (the "Wind Project"), located in British Columbia, Canada (the "Transaction").

The purchase price of the Wind Project will be approximately $4.7 million, subject to entering into an EPA (as defined herein) with respect to the Wind Project, plus a royalty payment equal to one precent of the gross revenue of the Wind Project. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Buyer has agreed to pay Sea Breeze an initial amount of $0.4 million in cash upon the closing of the Transaction with the remaining balance being paid upon the Wind Project achieving certain milestones, including the entering into of an electricity purchase agreement (the "EPA") with British Columbia Hydro and Power Authority ("BC Hydro") and the commercial operations of the Wind Project.

Synex expects the Transaction to close during the third quarter of 2024, subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.

Mr. Daniel Russell, the President and Chief Executive Officer of both Synex and Sea Breeze, commented "as part of our ongoing strategic review of the Company with the aim of enhancing shareholder value, the sale of the Bouleau Mountain Wind Project reconfirms the significant value of our entire wind license portfolio. The Bouleau Mountain Wind Project is only one site of the many wind development sites Synex acquired in 2021 in connection with its acquisition of Sea Breeze. With our best-in-class wind license portfolio, we believe that we are in an ideal position to further commercialize our license portfolio given BC Hydro's renewed commitment to acquire new clean energy sources in British Columbia."

During the interim period prior to the closing of the Transaction, Sea Breeze will continue to develop the Wind Project in the ordinary course in compliance with applicable laws and the terms and conditions of the Asset Purchase Agreement.
