Director Resignations
24 September 2009
Renewable Power & Light plc (AIM: RPL) ("RPL" or "the Company"), today announces
that Mr Donald Verbick and Mr Mark Draper have resigned as directors of the
Company with immediate effect. The resignations of Mr Verbick and Mr Draper have
been accepted by the board of directors of the Company (the "Board").
At a general meeting on 19 August 2009 the Company decided to adopt a new
investment policy to dispose of its operating assets, further reduce overheads,
preserve cash and maximize and realise value for shareholders. These
resignations are part of the ongoing implementation of this policy.
Mr Verbick was the Senior Vice-President and operations officer of the Company.
Mr Verbick has agreed to continue to act as a director of RPL Holdings Inc., the
Company's wholly owned US subsidiary, for such time as required by the Board.
Mr Draper was a non-executive director of the Company.
The Board would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr Verbick and Mr Draper
for their valuable contribution to the Company.

Dealing Disclosure Requirements
Under the provisions of Rule 8.3 of the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the
'Code'), if any person is, or becomes, 'interested' (directly or indirectly) in
1% or more of any class of 'relevant securities' of RPL, all 'dealings' in any
'relevant securities' of that company (including by means of an option in
respect of, or a derivative referenced to, any such 'relevant securities') must
be publicly disclosed by no later than 3.30pm (London time) on the London
business day following the date of the relevant transaction.
This requirement will continue until the date on which the offer becomes, or is
declared, unconditional as to acceptances, lapses or is otherwise withdrawn or
on which the 'offer period' otherwise ends. If two or more persons act together
pursuant to an agreement or understanding, whether formal or informal, to
acquire an 'interest' in 'relevant securities' of RPL, they will be deemed to be
a single person for the purpose of Rule 8.3. Under the provisions of Rules 8.1
of the Code, all 'dealings' in 'relevant securities' of RPL by a potential
offeror, or RPL, or by any of their respective 'associates', must be disclosed
by no later than 12.00 noon (London time) on the London business day following
the date of the relevant transaction.
A disclosure table, giving details of the companies in whose 'relevant
securities' 'dealings' should be disclosed, and the number of such securities in
issue, can be found on the Takeover Panel's website at
www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk.
'Interests in securities' arise, in summary, when a person has long economic
exposure, whether conditional or absolute, to changes in the price of
securities. In particular, a person will be treated as having an 'interest' by
virtue of the ownership or control of securities, or by virtue of any option in
respect of, or derivative referenced to, securities.
Terms in quotation marks are defined in the Code, which can also be found on the
Panel's website. If you are in any doubt as to whether or not you are required
to disclose a 'dealing' under Rule 8, you should consult the Panel.
