DEDHAM, Mass., April 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Atlantic Power Corporation (NYSE: AT) (TSX: ATP) ("Atlantic Power" or the "Company") announced today that it has obtained a final court order from the Supreme Court of British Columbia approving its previously announced arrangement with certain affiliates (collectively the "Purchasers") of infrastructure funds managed by I Squared Capital Advisors (US) LLC.

The previously announced transaction with the Purchasers (the "Transaction") remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including approval of the holders of the Company's convertible debentures ("Convertible Debentures"), certain remaining regulatory approvals and third-party consents, and other customary closing conditions. As previously disclosed, the parties intend to close the Transaction without the approval of the holders of the Convertible Debentures unless a sufficient number of Convertible Debentures are voted in favor of the Transaction as currently structured. The parties are continuing to work through the steps required to do so and additional details will be provided once these steps are substantially finalized.

The Transaction has received approval from the holders of common shares of the Company and the holders of preferred shares and medium term notes of certain of the Company's subsidiaries. The Transaction also has received certain required regulatory approvals, including an advance ruling certificate from the Canadian Commissioner of Competition under the Competition Act (Canada) on February 5, 2021, the expiration of the required waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 on March 9, 2021, and the approval of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission on April 2, 2021. The parties currently expect to close the Transaction in the second quarter of 2021.
