UGE Announces Corporate Planning Initiatives

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - December 7, 2018) - UGE International Ltd. (TSXV: UGE) (the "Company" or "UGE"), a leader in renewable energy solutions for the commercial and industrial sector, is pleased to announce it is working on several corporate initiatives as it looks to rebound and achieve stronger results in 2019.

The initiatives include:

● Identifying additions to its board of directors that can best support the Company going forward;

● Forming a shareholder advisory group, which will actively support the company in identifying new board members as well as providing feedback and guidance on the Company's strategy; and

● Updating its strategic plan and corporate branding, as it completes its shift from the majority of its revenue coming from EPC (Engineer, Procure, Construct) services, to one primarily focused on developing, deploying, and owning its projects.

The Company would also like to bring attention to several recent achievements aimed to position it for a strong 2019:

● A number of new customer wins in high growth US and international markets, including the Company's first financed projects in the Philippines;

● Reduction of overhead expenses in less profitable and lower growth markets, which were estimated at 30% on an annualized basis as of our September 30, 2018 financials, compared with beginning of year numbers;

● Exploring opportunities that exist in the cannabis sector; and

● The issuance of the Company's first green bond, which helps position UGE to own its self-developed projects for the first time.

"We are excited about the high growth our sector is experiencing, and is poised to experience in the coming years," stated Nick Blitterswyk, CEO of UGE. "We look forward to executing on these initiatives, among others, in the coming weeks and into early 2019, as we build our business in the high growth solar industry."
