Sandvika, March 22, 2013: Renewable Energy Corporation (REC) has today reached
an agreement with its lending banks to amend the terms of its bank credit
facility. Effectiveness of the new terms is subject to finalization of the
contract documents and customary closing conditions.

The credit facility is currently undrawn and REC held cash and cash equivalents
of NOK 1.9 billion at the end of 2012. The NOK 2 billion credit facility will be
reduced to a NOK 400 million revolving facility and a new guarantee facility of
additional NOK 400 million. Loans under the credit facility mature in April
2014, and issuance of guarantees must be made before maturity.

The covenants in the revolving credit facility and indemnification loans will be
amended and there will be no measurement of EBITDA   and leverage ratio until the
end of 2013. Main covenants of the facility can be found attached hereto.

With these adjustments REC reduces its overall financing cost and secures
facilities that are better suited for REC's current business needs.
