Paris/Mannheim, 1 April 2014 - Funds advised by Triton ("Triton") have
entered into an agreement to acquire the auxiliary components business of
Alstom's Thermal Power division for an Enterprise Value of around EUR730

The auxiliary components business is part of the steam segment within

and gas-gas heaters for thermal power plants, heat transfer solutions for a
variety of petrochemical and industrial processes, and grinding mills for
diversified industrial applications. Headquartered in Mannheim, Germany,
the company employs over 1,500 people worldwide, with operations in
Germany, the USA, Japan, China, India, Brazil, Switzerland and the Czech
Republic. For the fiscal year ending 31 March, 2014, the business is
expected to generate revenues in excess of EUR430 million, with strong
growth prospects for the years ahead.

"Triton looks forward to working with the management team and employees to
strengthen and grow the company," says Peder Prahl, Director of the General
Partner of the Triton funds.

"This transaction highlights the strength and value of Alstom portfolio of
activities, and illustrates the group's ability to deliver on its strategy
of selective, value-enhancing disposals", said Nicolas Tissot, Chief
Financial Officer of Alstom.

The development of the business will rely on a mutually beneficial
relationship between Triton and Alstom. Philippe Cochet, President of
Thermal Power added: "This sale will ensure a solid future for employees
and a sustainable quality of service for customers. Alstom, which already
contributed up to 20% of the sales, will remain a major customer."
