KSK Power Ventur PLC 15 November 2007 KSK Power Ventur plc ('KSK' or 'the Company') New arrangements with General Electric Company ('GE') and Board changes KSK Power Ventur plc (AIM: KSK.L), the power project development company with interests in multiple power plants across India, today announces that it has entered into a strategic relationship with GE (NYSE: GE), a diversified business with extensive global energy sector expertise and headquartered at Fairfield, Connecticut, USA. GE proposes to participate in the debt and equity of the Company and its subsidiaries (the 'KSK Group'). As a first step, GE has purchased the indirect interest of Mr. Hari Kiran Vadlamani ('Kiran') one of the promoter Directors of KSK, who has decided to resign from the KSK Group. Full details of the acquisition of this interest are set out below. Additionally, GE has provided term sheets for debt valued at approximately US$120 million to certain KSK Group companies. Kiran has predominantly been involved in the asset management side of the KSK Group, including the 'Small is Beautiful' fund which has invested in various third party Indian power projects. Kiran has decided to leave KSK and explore new pastures. The board of KSK is being strengthened by the appointment of a GE senior executive with significant global experience in the energy space as an additional Non-Executive Director. It is anticipated such appointment will be finalised shortly and full details will be announced at that time. The Company also anticipates making another announcement in due course on steps to further strengthen the main board. The board of KSK anticipates that this association with GE will bring significant value and opportunity for the Company and its shareholders. GE is a strong strategic partner, which has both extensive experience and understanding of the energy space as well as being endowed with deep financial resources to support the Group's major initiatives. This new arrangement with GE will build on and complement KSK's existing strong association and investment joint venture with Lehman, which continues to look at new opportunities. K&S Consulting Group Private Limited ('K&S Consulting') held the entire issued share capital of Sayi Power Energy Limited ('Sayi'). In turn, Sayi holds 100 million ordinary shares in KSK (representing approximately 77.6 per cent of the issued share capital of KSK). GE Energy Financial Services, a business unit of GE, has acquired Kiran's entire interest in the KSK Group through a 25.77 per cent shareholding in Sayi. Kiran ceases to have any interest in the KSK Group and has resigned as Director from the constituents of the KSK Group with immediate effect. The remaining 74.23 per cent shareholding in Sayi will continue to be held by K&S Consulting on behalf of the remaining two promoter Directors, Kishore and Sastry. Sayi continues to hold 100 million ordinary shares in KSK. Commenting on these new initiatives, Padma Bhushan T L Sankar, Chairman of KSK said: 'Kiran has chosen a new path after many long years of association with KSK. All of us at KSK thank him for his role in the formative and growth periods of KSK. We wish him well in his new ventures. As for GE, we are pleased now to be working closely with such a well-respected entity and will see them participating at various levels of our business. We believe it will strengthen our resource and operational areas'. For further information, please contact KSK Power Ventur plc +91-40-23559922 S. Kishore, Executive Director K.A.
