Sauer Energy Secures $15 Million Equity Line Funding

CAMARILLO, CA--(Marketwire - Dec 17, 2012) - Sauer Energy Inc. ("Sauer") (OTCBB: SENY), developer of the patented WindCharger™ brand vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) and manufacturer of the patented Helix vertical axis wind turbine, is pleased to announce that it has entered into an Equity Line Agreement with Eclipse Advisors, LLC, (Eclipse), a New York-based investor, for $15M that will facilitate expansion of manufacturing capabilities in order that it can accommodate the growing demand for WindCharger™ and Helix turbines. European American Equities, Inc. (EAE) served as exclusive agent for the issuer.

"Eclipse's capital commitment, which will be available to SEI upon the effectiveness of an SEC S1 Registration Statement, reflects faith in the market demand for our renewable energy products and technology for residential and small industrial customers. Knowing that Eclipse is a committed investor gives us a level of confidence and comfort with which we can succeed. This investment will allow us to devote our resources to manufacturing, the activation of our distribution network, and marketing and sales that will drive SEI into revenue reporting status more rapidly. It will also provide additional capital toward research and development," commented Dieter Sauer, CEO and President of Sauer Energy, Inc.

SEI expects that the support of Eclipse will accelerate the momentum of development and demand for SEI wind turbines that can bring residential communities together with vast advantages. Additionally this funding should accelerate the capability of SEI to reach out to various government agencies, such as FEMA and the military, with uniquely designed renewable energy solutions that will enhance the effectiveness of emergency crisis response. SEI should also be able to supply the international market sooner than originally planned due to the increase in funding.

"We are extremely grateful for the diligence and hard work of our financing team. Together, we will make a difference within the renewable energy sector by empowering individuals to produce their own electricity," added Mr. Sauer.

About Sauer Energy

Sauer Energy is a technology developer and manufacturer focused on the emerging renewable energy market. We believe that because it requires few parts, SEI's technology, which provides a new direction for wind capture, will easily scale from residential to small community and up to large industrial scale. The market opportunity for a new, innovative technology is unlimited. SEI has created the WindCharger™ model to provide a better solution for the use of wind capture for residential or small building use.

The WindCharger™ is one of Sauer Energy's key innovation priorities. With several patents in place and many more pending, SEI is engaged in manufacturing and commercialization now, and plans to see a financial return on its investments.

Due to the recent acquisition of the assets of Helix Wind, SEI plans to be able to offer the Helix vertical axis wind turbine systems in the near future. They are specifically designed to be pole mounted and can respond to the demand for applications that do not require roof mounting.
