SHELTON, CONNECTICUT and TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 09/14/12 -- OPEL Technologies Inc. (TSX VENTURE:OPL)(OTCQX:OPELF) ("OPEL" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that, in response to high demand for its fully subscribed and completed $3,000,000 financing announced on September 10, 2012, it has completed a further financing resulting in proceeds of $1,234,870 through IBK Capital Corp. ("IBK") as agent. The private placement offering consisted of 5,369,000 Units at a price of $0.23. Each unit consists of one common share and one common share purchase warrant. One full warrant allows the holder to acquire one common share of OPEL for a period of three years at an exercise price of $0.35 per share. There are currently 112,102,900 common shares issued and outstanding.

The Company paid a cash commission equal to 7% of the funds raised and 10% of the units sold in the form of broker warrants. Each broker warrant allows the holder to acquire one common share of OPEL at a price of $0.23 for 48 months. All securities issued pursuant to the private placement are subject to a hold period which expires on January 14, 2013.

Leon Pierhal, CEO, and Peter Copetti, Executive Director, agreed that "the high degree of interest in OPEL's private placements reinforces our belief that our shareholders appreciate and support the new direction of the Company in divesting the solar division to focus on our core business which is ODIS Inc. and the POET Technology."
