AUSTIN, TX -- (Marketwire) -- 11/05/12 -- Active Power (NASDAQ: ACPW), manufacturer of UPS (uninterruptible power supply) systems and modular infrastructure solutions, announced that its board of directors has authorized its management to obtain the required shareholder and other approvals and prepare and file the necessary documents to effect a 5-for-1 reverse split of its outstanding and authorized common and preferred stock. The reverse stock split is subject to the approval of Active Power's shareholders. Active Power filed a preliminary proxy statement with the SEC today for a special meeting of shareholders at which time such approval will be sought. The date and other details of the special meeting will be communicated to shareholders at a later date. Active Power currently expects to complete the reverse split by the end of the fourth quarter of 2012. "Our intent is to continue to trade on the NASDAQ Capital Market," said Doug Milner, president and CEO, at Active Power. "To that end and after careful evaluation of our options, we have decided to pursue a reverse stock split to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement of the NASDAQ Capital Market. In addition to sustaining our NASDAQ listing, we believe a higher share price resulting from a reverse stock split will help broaden our shareholder base by increasing our appeal to institutional investors and as a result enhance long-term shareholder value."

This press release is not a solicitation of shareholders or their votes on the proposed reverse split.
