NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. ANY FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS RESTRICTION MAY CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF U.S. SECURITIES LAWS GTO Resources Inc. ("GTO") (NEX BOARD:GTR.H), Polaris Geothermal Inc. ("Polaris") (TSX:GEO), Western GeoPower Corp. ("Western") (TSX VENTURE:WGP) and Ram Power, Inc., a private Delaware corporation ("Ram"), previously announced on July 15, 2009 that they had entered into a letter of intent ("LOI") with respect to a proposed business combination to create a new, publicly-traded geothermal power company (the "Transaction"). GTO had also announced at that time that it intends to proceed with a private placement offering of subscription receipts, entitling purchasers to receive common shares in the combined entity following the Transaction. GTO is pleased to announce that it will increase the size of its proposed private placement to $156 million (the "Private Placement") from $100 million. An aggregate of 52 million subscription receipts will be offered at an anticipated price of $3.00 per subscription receipt, each exercisable into one common share of GTO (after giving effect to a 10 for 1 consolidation). In addition, GTO has agreed to grant the agents an over-allotment option (the "Over-Allotment Option"), exercisable in whole or in part prior to the closing of the Private Placement, to offer for sale up to an additional 7.8 million subscription receipts for additional proceeds of $23.4 million. The proceeds of the Private Placement, less the agents' expenses, will be held in escrow pending the completion of the Transaction. The proceeds of the Private Placement will be used to develop key projects of the combined businesses and for working capital and general corporate purposes upon completion of the Transaction. Any additional proceeds from the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option will be used for debt repayment of the combined entity. The Private Placement is subject to applicable regulatory approvals and is anticipated to close on or about August 18, 2009. Cormark Securities Inc. has been retained as financial advisor to GTO in connection with the Transaction and as lead agent in connection with the Private Placement. The LOI provides that GTO, Polaris and Western will negotiate and enter into a definitive arrangement agreement and Ram and GTO will enter into a share purchase and sale agreement. Further details regarding the proposed business combination will be detailed in a joint information circular (the "Joint Circular") which will be mailed to securityholders of GTO, Polaris and Western in connection with special shareholders' meetings to approve the Transaction. Closing of the Transaction contemplated by the LOI is subject to a number of conditions and approvals which include completion of the equity financing on acceptable terms; the satisfactory completion of due diligence investigations; the completion of a definitive agreement setting forth the terms and conditions set out in the LOI; approval of securityholders of GTO, Polaris and Western at a special meeting of such securityholders; approval of shareholders of Ram; approval of holders of debentures of Polaris; approval of certain lenders of Western; court approval; and the approval of all relevant regulatory authorities and third parties. There can be no assurance that the Transaction or the equity financing will be completed as proposed or at all. The LOI provides for termination rights, including in the event the Transaction is not completed by October 30, 2009. The common shares of GTO are currently halted from trading and will remain halted until further notice. Investors are cautioned that except as disclosed in the Joint Circular, any information released or received in connection with the Transaction may not be accurate or complete and should not be relied upon.
