ContourGlobal Receives US$37.8 Million in Insurance From OPIC for Combined Heat and Power Plants in Nigeria

LAGOS, Nigeria, October 14, 2010 - ContourGlobal announced today that it will receive US$37.8 million in
political risk insurance from the Overseas Private Investment Corporation
(OPIC), to support the company's construction and operations of three
Combined Heat and Power (CHP) generation plants for Nigeria Bottling Company
(NBC), an affiliate of Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company, S.A (CCH). The
construction, which is being carried out by ContourGlobal Solutions, Nigeria,
a subsidiary of ContourGlobal, will enable NBC to significantly reduce its
energy consumption, carbon dioxide emissions all while reducing production
costs in the West African country.

The projects supported by the OPIC political risk facility are, a 4
megawatt CHP plant in Ikeja, a 1.2 megawatt plant in Apapa, and a 3.6
megawatt plant in Benin (Nigeria), all of which will provide power, heat,
steam, and, in the case of Benin, food-grade CO2 to NBC's beverage bottling
facilities. The energy efficiency from CHP can be as high as 90 percent,
compared to 35-40 percent for conventional gas-fired simple cycle power
plants. Moreover, ContourGlobal's QuadGen process incorporates carbon capture
technology to remove, capture and purify approximately 95 percent of the CO2
from the CHP's flue gas. The purified CO2 is then used by the bottler and
other customers requiring food grade CO2.

The project is the latest initiative in an ongoing partnership between
ContourGlobal and OPIC. In October 2009, the two concluded a memorandum of
understanding by which OPIC agreed to provide ContourGlobal with financing
and political risk insurance to support power projects in emerging markets,
including highly energy-efficient facilities which substantially reduce
carbon dioxide emissions.

In April, OPIC's Board of Directors approved up to US$250 million to
support ContourGlobal's program of building and operating CHP plants for CCH
bottlers, largely in Eastern Europe and Nigeria. The loan agreement was
signed in August of this year.

"We are very pleased to have broken ground on these highly innovative
facilities and we look forward to working with OPIC as we continue our power
development activities in Nigeria for CCH-NBC and other customers," said
Stephane Loosen, Managing Director of ContourGlobal Solutions, Nigeria. "We
are proud to partner with OPIC on this transaction, an organization that has
high standards and strong commitment to clean energy."

OPIC President and CEO Elizabeth Littlefield, said, "Supporting energy
efficiency is a top priority for OPIC, and is exemplified by this innovative
project, which will also support local economic development in Nigeria."
