The bearers of these options can subscribe to new shares (one voting and preference registered share per option) in the period from 8 April 2014 to 22 April 2014 at a subscription price of EUR 0.014 each. The option exercise notice required for this will be available for download on the homepage of iQ Power AG for the above period. In addition, on the basis of the authorization in Article 3a of the Articles of Association, the Board of Directors has resolved to increase the share capital by up to CHF 1,540,000 by issuing up to 154,000,000 voting and preference registered shares with a nominal value of CHF 0.01 per share to be paid up in full. The new voting and preference shares will have full dividend rights from 1 January 2013. Existing shareholders will be granted an indirect subscription right in proportion to their existing equity interest. The subscription ratio is 3.65 to 1 for registered shares with a nominal amount of CHF 0.03 each (ISIN CH0020609688) and 10.93 to 1 for voting and preference registered shares with a nominal amount of CHF 0.01 each (ISIN CH0199540599). This means that ownership of 3.65 registered shares or 10.93 voting and preference registered shares of iQ Power AG will entitle the owner to subscribe for one new voting and preference registered share at a subscription price of EUR 0.01275 per voting and preference registered share. The subscription period is also from 8 April 2014 to 22 April 2014. The number of pre-emption rights attributable to shareholders will be determined by their holdings of registered shares and voting and preference registered shares at the close of trading on 7 April 2014. To exercise their pre-emption rights, we ask that shareholders issue their custodian bank with corresponding instructions using the subscription order form provided by the custodian banks. Above and beyond their subscription rights, shareholders can also submit an additional binding subscription order for an unlimited number of new voting and preference registered shares (oversubscription) allowing them to subscribe for new voting and preference registered shares that are not subscribed for as part of the indirect offer for subscription. However, this does not grant a legal right to allocation. New voting and preference shares not subscribed by existing shareholders can be offered to interested third parties by the company at the same conditions as part of a private placement during the subscription period. The net proceeds from the capital increase will be used to procure tools, repay liabilities and strengthen iQ Power AG's asset base, thereby improving its credit quality and liquidity position. Further information can be found in the issue prospectus prepared in accordance with Art. 652a of the Swiss Code of Obligations, which will be available for download shortly on the homepage of iQ Power AG.
