Power Clouds Announces FINRA Approval of Corporate Name Change to Alternus Energy and New Ticker Symbol: ALTN

NEW YORK, Dec. 06, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE -- Power Clouds Inc. () (OTC Pink: PWCL) today announces that on November 29, 2018, FINRA approved of the Company's corporate action request changing its name to Alternus Energy Inc. FINRA also approved a change of its ticker symbol to "ALTN" with an effective date at the open of the market on November 29, 2018. 

“Over the past 3 years we have been building the foundation for a sustainable and substantial long-term global business in alternative energy. With growth capital now in place due to our uni-tranche $20 million debt facility with InMost Partners LLC and the signing of an exclusive framework agreement with a leading developer in Germany to acquire at least 200MWs of solar projects it develops over the next 3 years, along with other similar relationships pending in the Netherlands, we now have the execution and funding relationships in place to significantly scale from our current base,” said ALTN Chairman and CEO Vincent Browne. 



“Given this inflection point in the business, along with our actions underway to pursue an up-listing of the Company to a US National Exchange (market conditions depending), we felt that now was the time to change the identity of the Company to one that better reflects our focus on alternative energy over the long term – not just in solar as it is today, but all forms of alternative energy projects and technologies that we can address in the future. We also wanted a corporate name that is understood in all corners of the world and can last for decades as we build a global brand. Alternus is the latin word for Alternative, and so what better name to address these requirements,” continued Mr. Browne. 



The Chairman and CEO also noted, “We plan to further progress into other European markets in 2019 and look forward to announcing some of the other exciting developments we are currently working on as they come to fruition as we continue our mission to become a leading independent power producer in green energy, and to do so at the lowest possible risk and highest possible returns for our shareholders.”
