/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES/

RENO, NV and VANCOUVER, May 13, 2015 /CNW/ - Polaris Infrastructure Inc. (formerly Ram Power, Corp.) (TSX: RPG) (the "Company" or "Polaris") announced today that, in accordance with the terms of the private placement agreement (the "Transaction Agreement") dated April 20, 2015 between the Company and Goodwood Inc., it has completed the equity financing and recapitalization transaction (the "Transaction") that was previously announced on April 20, 2015.

"The injection of equity capital, combined with a significant restructuring of its balance sheet, will enable the Company to focus on optimizing the cash flow generation of the San Jacinto project over the long term," said Marc Murnaghan, the Company's newly-appointed Chief Executive Officer.

The first step of the Transaction was completed when the Company closed a private placement offering on April 30, 2015 of 18,598,500,000 subscription receipts (the "Subscription Receipts") at a price per Subscription Receipt of Cdn$0.004 ("Subscription Price") for gross proceeds of approximately Cdn$74 million. Each Subscription Receipt entitled the holder to receive, without payment of additional consideration, one pre-Share Consolidation (as defined below) common share in the capital of the Company (each a "Pre-Consolidation Share"), upon the satisfaction of certain release conditions. The Company is pleased to announce that, as of today, the escrow release conditions have been fully satisfied, the Subscription Receipts have been converted into common shares and the proceeds of the private placement have been released to the Company.

As previously announced, the Company's name was changed from "Ram Power, Corp." to "Polaris Infrastructure Inc." and a change of the Company's Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") stock symbol from "RPG" to "PIF" is expected to become effective on May 19, 2015. 

As part of the closing of the Transaction, the following steps occurred today:

(1)	the Company's outstanding Cdn$53,016,338 aggregate principal amount of 8.5% senior secured debentures, together with approximately Cdn$1,642,054 of accrued and unpaid interest were converted into approximately 10,931,678,292 Pre-Consolidation Shares at a conversion price of Cdn$0.005 per share;
(2)	a binding agreement was entered into giving effect to certain amendments to the US$245 million credit facilities of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Polaris Energy Nicaragua, S.A., which owns and operates the operating geothermal energy project located in the northwest of Nicaragua near the city of Leon. The amendments are consistent with those contemplated in the Company's April 20, 2015 news release;
(3)	the Company's common shares have been consolidated (the "Share Consolidation") at a ratio of 2,000 Pre-Consolidation Shares for each post-consolidation common share in the capital of the Company (each a "Post-Consolidation Share"). A total of approximately 31,026,418,906 Pre-Consolidation Shares were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Share Consolidation, which resulted in a total of approximately 15,513,157 Post-Consolidation Shares being currently issued and outstanding following completion of the Share Consolidation.  The Company's common shares are expected to begin trading on the TSX on a post-Share Consolidation basis on May 19, 2015.
(4)	the board of directors of the Company has been reconstituted to consist of the following five directors: Marc Murnaghan, Jorge Bernhard and Jaime Guillen (each of whom is a newly appointed director of the Company), and Antony Mitchell and James Lawless (each of whom is an existing director of the Company); and
(5)	Marc Murnaghan has been appointed as Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

Biographical information regarding Messrs. Murnaghan, Bernhard and Guillen was provided in the April 20, 2015 news release announcing the entering into of the Transaction Agreement by the Company.

The completion of the Transaction resulted in certain adjustments being made to the Company's outstanding common share purchase warrants (the "Warrants") in accordance with the terms of the warrant indenture dated March 27, 2013 between the Company and CST Trust Company, as warrant agent (the "Warrant Indenture").  Previously the exercise price of the Warrants was Cdn$0.30 per Pre-Consolidation Share.  In accordance with the adjustment terms of the Warrant Indenture, the exercise price is now $600 per Post-Consolidation Share and the exchange ratio of the Warrants has been adjusted to 2,000 Warrants for 1 Post-Consolidation Share. As a result of these adjustments, and due to the insignificant trading volume of the Warrants, the TSX has advised the Company that the Warrants will be delisted from the TSX.
