/THIS MEDIA RELEASE IS NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES/

MONTRÉAL, Sept. 16, 2015 /CNW Telbec/ - Boralex Inc. ("Boralex" or the "Corporation") (TSX: BLX) issued, on August 31, 2015, a redemption notice to redeem on September 30, 2015, $150,000,000 of the $244,079,000 total principal amount of its 6.75% convertible unsecured subordinated debentures (TSX: BLX.DB) (the "Debentures") then outstanding, on a pro rata basis.

Holders of Debentures have the right to convert their Debentures, at their option, into Class A shares of Boralex at a conversion price of $11.68 per share, representing a conversion rate of 8.56164 Boralex shares per $100 principal amount of debentures.

Due to logistical constraints and in order to provide for a smooth and orderly redemption and conversion process, CDS & Co., the registered holder of the Debentures, CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. (collectively, "CDS") and Computershare Trust Company of Canada (the "Computershare"), the debentures trustee for the Debentures, have decided that the record date to determine holders of record will be as of the close of business on Monday, September 28, 2015 (the "Record Date"). Likewise, CDS and Computershare have decided that the last day it will accept conversion submissions will be as of the close of business on Friday, September 25, 2015. CDS and Computershare will begin to accept conversions of Debentures not redeemed as of October 1, 2015, the day immediately following the redemption date.

The Debentures to be redeemed will be selected by the Computershare on a pro rata basis to the nearest multiple of $100 in accordance with the principal amount of the Debentures registered in the name of each holder as of the Record Date.

Holders of Debentures will receive $101.68 per $100 principal amount of Debentures redeemed, which is comprised of: (i) $100 (being the principal amount); and (ii) $1.68 (being the accrued and unpaid interest thereon up to September 29, 2015 inclusively) (together, the "Redemption Price"). Holders of Debentures redeemed need not take any action in order to receive the Redemption Price.
