Maryland Heights, Mo., July 3, 2014 – SunEdison, Inc. (NYSE: SUNE), a leading solar technology manufacturer and solar energy services provider, completed its acquisition of a 50% ownership stake in Silver Ridge Power, LLC (“SRP”) from a subsidiary of The AES Corporation for approximately $178.6 million in cash, after giving effect to certain pre-closing adjustments to the initial purchase price pursuant to the provisions of the acquisition agreement. Through its ownership in the SRP joint venture, SunEdison now owns a 50% interest in (i) 336 MW of solar power plant operating projects, including the 266 MW Mt.
