Europlasma: Progress and Financing for the Development of CHO-Power(R) Power Production Units

PARIS, June 14, 2010 - After signing the letter of intent in April 2010 with a fund
specialised in renewable energies for the development of CHO-Power
activities, Europlasma, the French group specialized in clean technologies
and renewable energy production, is reporting on progress made with the
project to develop the Morcenx biomass power production plant and is
announcing various developments in relation to the strategic approach
initially considered.

Progress made with the Morcenx CHO-Power unit

The CHO-Power production unit is a unique concept in the world
of energy reclamation from residual waste and/or biomass, based on the
gasification technique and improved with the technological advances enabled
by the plasma torch.

Following the announcement on April 8th, 2010 concerning the
signing of a letter of intent, the administrative due diligence processes
have been finalized and the Board of Directors has validated the term
sheet[1] project with Europlasma's financial partner. The next steps (in June
2010) will focus on finalizing the legal and administrative procedures to
ratify the partnership between Europlasma and the investment fund.

At this stage, the principles retained for financing the
project provide for a total of EUR36 million of resources over 30 months,
with EUR12.7 million to be covered by Europlasma. More specifically, a part
of the Europlasma contribution will enable the Group to have a 25% capital
stake in CHO-Power Morcenx as soon as work begins to build the CHO-Power
plant in Morcenx, a 12 MWe unit production capacity. In addition, under a
performance incentive mechanism, Europlasma may increase its interest in
CHO-Power Morcenx up to 45%. Meanwhile, the EPC contract (Engineering,
Procurement & Construction) of the CHO-Power Morcenx plant, will represent
approximately 15 million EUR of revenues in 2010 for Europlasma, with the
civil work beginning in July. The contribution of the capital financed by
Europlasma is needed for the definitive sealing of the agreement and the
project's operational launch.

Overall the financing process will be dedicated to building
CHO-Power production units with a capacity of 54 MWe over three years, with
the option to extend this financing to cover the building of a total of 200
MWe over five years. As a result, the Group's financial partner will be able
to contribute EUR50 million.

Europlasma's strategy for implementing the definitive agreement

Strengthening its capital: In connection with its April 8th,
2010 communication, Europlasma was looking to finance its contribution with
the increase in equity capital resulting mainly from the exercising of
existing warrants (BSA). Faced with a difficult market environment, the
majority of these warrants have not been exercised and expired on May 31st,
2010. In this context, the Board of Directors now intends to carry out a
capital increase. Indeed, out of the EUR12.7 million financed by Europlasma,
the Company will be inviting its shareholders and the financial market to
accompany it in this final development phase for EUR6 million. The various
possibilities reviewed by the Board of Directors revealed that, despite a
comfortable level of cash flow, the investment needed could not be covered in
full by Europlasma without undermining the Group's current business. In this
way, two operations, backed by the Company's main shareholders, could be
launched shortly:

    - a first issue, with preferential subscription rights
      maintained, open to all shareholders for a total of approximately EUR2
      million, and

    - a second issue, reserved for qualified investors, for EUR4
      million. Moreover, this issue would result in preferred shares being
      created, with the corresponding rights being exclusively political, no
      special financial rights being granted[2].

The delegations of authority prior to carrying out the private
placement (second operation presented above) and therefore finalizing the
financing of the first CHO-Power Morcenx project will be submitted for
approval by shareholders at the General Meeting on June 30th, 2010. The
projects are presented in detail in the "Board of Directors' report for the
Ordinary and Extraordinary General Meeting on June 30th, 2010", available on
Europlasma's internet site.

As Didier Pineau explains: "This is a key step for the launch
of the first CHO-Power plant. The market context is difficult, but we must
continue moving forward in order to confirm this outstanding opportunity for
development in the field of renewable energy production. The Company's
management team is fully committed to completing this final stage, which
Europlasma will contribute towards; at the same time, we have looked into the
solutions that will enable us to not only engage our shareholders in the
operation, but also meet the needs for speed and maximizing the funds raised
by calling on professional investors."

Modifying its governance: Following on from the structuring
initiatives launched in 2009 to further strengthen the Group's governance and
organization (creation of four permanent committees[3]) and with a view to
the development of CHO-Power units, new measures would have to be
implemented:

    - Separating the functions of Chairman and Chief Executive
      Officer. Mr. Didier Pineau will devote himself entirely to his position
      as the Group's Chief Executive Officer once the capital increase has
      been carried out. A Chairman of the Board of Directors will be
      appointed at a coming Board meeting.

    - Appointing a new director, Mr. Erik Martel, representing
      Credit Suisse Europlasma SPV LLC, Europlasma's leading shareholder.

    - Appointing Mr. Pierre Catlin, a member of the Strategy and
      Investment Committee, as an independent director.

Further to these appointments, the Board of Directors would
have six members, including two independent directors.

Furthermore, Cedric Berard, Europlasma's Chief Legal and
Financial Officer, is leaving the Group to pursue a new activity in capital
development. Since CHO-Power's financing is currently being finalized, Mr.
Berard has successfully completed his main mission. He has also played an
effective role in improving the profitability of the Group and its companies.
A process to recruit a new Chief Financial Officer is already underway.
