Update regarding Extraordinary General Meeting

Acta S.p.A. (AIM: ACTA), the hydrogen energy company, announces that, following the announcement made on 4 December 2014, an Extraordinary General Meeting ("EGM") was convened today at the third call.

The EGM was called to put in place the authorities needed to allow the Board to determine and approve the issue of up to EUR8,000,000 in nominal share capital, denominated in shares of 0.6 euro cents each, during the thirty six months following the shareholders meeting. However, insufficient votes were received to constitute a quorum for the meeting, and the meeting therefore did not take place.

Following the announcement made on 12 December 2014 the Board can confirm that the Company has applied to enter into Concordato in continuità aziendale ex art. 160 e seguenti R.D. 16 Marzo 1942 n. 267 ("Concordato") in order to protect the assets and intellectual property of the business going forwards.

About Acta S.p.A.

Acta S.p.A. is a developer and manufacturer of a range of clean energy products. Based on its world-leading expertise in alkaline membrane technology, the Company has developed a unique range of low-cost, compact hydrogen generators (electrolysers) which produce pure, dry compressed hydrogen at high efficiency from renewable or grid power.

In April 2013 Acta launched the Acta Power, an integrated electrolyser and fuel cell system for use in back-up power and renewable energy storage applications. Best understood as a "Hydrogen Battery", the system converts energy from renewable or grid power when it is available and stores it in the form of hydrogen, and then converts the hydrogen back to electrical power when needed due to grid black-out or lack of solar / wind power.

This system has extensive application as a back-up power unit for telecommunications base stations, where it competes on cost against traditional battery and diesel solutions, while offering a cleaner solution and better service. In particular, the use of rainwater and the generation of hydrogen on-site removes the cost and logistical barriers of fuel delivery, while also avoiding the theft risk associated with diesel, methanol and battery systems.

The supply of fuel cell back-up power systems for telecommunications base stations represents a large and fast-growing market, especially in extensively bad-grid and off-grid locations such as in Asia and Africa. Battery sales to the Chinese telecoms industry are currently valued at $4.7 bn to $7.8 bn per annum (Fuel Cell Today, China).

Acta holds a portfolio of patents and patent applications on its key technologies, manufactures its products through a combination of production, component subcontracting, and final product assembly and quality control, and has established distribution channels through partnerships in China, India, SE Asia, Australia, Africa, Middle East, Germany, UK, USA and South America.

Acta S.p.A. is based near Pisa, Italy, and was admitted to trading on AIM in October 2005.
