The transaction is subject to the Cameroon government approval and certain conditions precedent, which should be fulfilled or waived during the second quarter of 2014 so that the transaction is expected to close at that time.

These businesses were previously reported in EMEA Generation segment and "Corporate and Other".

Under the terms of the sale agreement, the buyer has an option to purchase the Company's 100% interest in Armenia Mountain, a 101 MW wind project in Pennsylvania at a fixed price of $75 million. The option is exercisable between January 1, 2015 and April 1, 2015 (both dates inclusive). The sale transaction closed on January 30, 2014 and net proceeds of $27 million were received.
