Normal Course Issuer Bid

MONTRÉAL, Sept. 2, 2015 /CNW Telbec/ - Boralex Inc. ("Boralex" or the "Corporation") announces that the Toronto Stock Exchange accepted its notice of intention to begin a normal course issuer bid in respect of its Class A Shares. Purchases pursuant to the normal course issuer bid will commence on September 4, 2015 and will not continue beyond September 3, 2016. The Class A Shares purchased shall be cancelled.

The notice will enable Boralex to acquire up to 500,000 Class A Shares which represent approximately 1.04% of the 47,965,088 issued and outstanding Class A Shares as of August 25, 2015. During the last 12 months, no Class A Share was purchased by Boralex under a normal course issuer bid.

The average daily trading volume of Boralex's Class A Shares was 106,509 on the Toronto Stock Exchange over the last six completed calendar months (the "ADTV").  Accordingly, Boralex is entitled to purchase up to 25% of the ADTV on any trading day being 26,627 Class A Shares. All purchases will be made through the facilities of the Toronto Stock Exchange in accordance with its requirements.

Boralex considers that the Issuer Bid will provide the flexibility to purchase shares to offset the dilutive effects of the issuance of Class A Shares pursuant to the stock option plan. Boralex also considers that the shares to be acquired may, from time to time, be undervalued in the market and represent an excellent opportunity to enhance shareholder value.
