Alternus Energy Files SEC Form 10 to Become SEC Reporting Company

New York, NY, Aug. 14, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE -- Alternus Energy Inc. (OTC: ALTN) (the “Company” or “Alternus Energy”), a global renewable energy company, today announced that it has filed a registration statement on SEC Form 10 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to register its common stock under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The filing includes audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 and unaudited financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. 

Vincent Browne, Alternus Energy’s Chief Executive Officer, President and Chairman, commented, “By filing this registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, we have followed through on a key 2019 goal as set out in our shareholder update on May 30th. This filing is a significant milestone for the Company and moves us one step closer to our intention of further elevating the Company’s capital markets position by up-listing to a U.S. National Exchange. I believe this filing also sends a signal to investors of our continued focus to become more transparent in operations and reporting, which improves confidence and allows for a better understanding of our business model and market positioning. It is also evidence of the Company’s execution against its stated targets and goals. We continue to build a robust pipeline of interesting solar projects across Europe and other geographies, and remain confident of exiting 2019 with over 100MWs of owned solar projects, as previously stated, which will be a 5 times expansion in owned projects from 2018. These projects will be both operational and construction-in-process at year end, but collectively will represent over $15 million in annualized contracted revenues to ALTN. We continue to manage the business to maximize return for our shareholders by acquiring positive cash flow assets with long term income streams at the lowest possible risk to increase the Company’s value over time.”

The Company’s voluntary filing of the Form 10 with the SEC will make it subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 sixty days from the date of filing, which thereafter requires the filing of annual, quarterly and current report filings with the SEC. 

This announcement follows the Company’s comprehensive Shareholder Update and Outlook for 2019 issued on May 30th, and forms an integral part of its ongoing effort to improve investor transparency and communication. Alternus Energy will also be releasing a quarterly update summing up its operational progress and achievements by the end of August.
