About EEStor Corporation

The Company’s mission is to be the provider of leading edge electrical energy storage and related capacitor technologies. The Company operates on the principle and belief that a fundamental breakthrough in energy storage will be the catalyst for positive environmental and economic change globally. The Company’s business strategy is focused on licensing opportunities across a broad spectrum of industries and applications, building on its recent technology achievements related to high voltage solid state capacitors. The most recent advancements in the Company’s technology have resulted in it focusing its licensing activities on the substantial global electrical grid storage markets.

The Company holds an approximate 71.3% as-converted equity and voting interest and certain technology rights to a solid-state capacitor and related energy storage technologies currently under development by EEStor, Inc. (“EEStor”). The acquisition of the controlling interest in EEStor on January 27, 2014 aligned the businesses of both companies and now allows the Company to benefit from other revenue streams that may be available to EEStor.

EEStor, Inc.’s capacitor and energy storage technology is still under development and a number of further development milestones must be achieved before commercial viability can be fully established. There are significant risks associated with the development of new technologies such as EEStor, Inc,’s capacitor and energy storage technology and readers are directed to the “Risk Factors” disclosed in EEStor Corporation’s public filings on SEDAR.
