BORROWINGS EXTENDED TO 11 MAY 2015

Further to the announcement on 27 January 2015, the Board of Alpha Pyrenees is pleased to report that, following progress in the discussions with the Company's lenders, Barclays Bank PLC ("Barclays"), the maturity date of its borrowings of c €271m has been extended to 11 May 2015. The Trust is compliant with its borrowing covenants on the test date of 10 February 2015 and no further covenant tests are scheduled before the amended maturity date. A fee of 0.5% (c €1.35m) of the borrowed amount is being charged by Barclays for this extension period and this will be payable at 11 May 2015. The current interest rates will continue to apply to the facilities during the extension period.

This extension of the maturity date provides additional time for the Company to progress refinancing options including the potential refinancing of assets by third party lenders and potential asset sales. The Company will provide further updates in due course.
