Ener1, Inc. Raises $29.7 Million of Equity Capital Through Warrant Exercise

FT. LAUDERDALE, FL | Posted on May 21st, 2008

"As anticipated, all of the institutional investors that participated in the November 2007 financing exercised their warrants," said Charles Gassenheimer, Chairman of Ener1, Inc. "The only investor that did not exercise its warrants was a family trust that already has a substantial investment in Ener1. We are pleased with the results of the November financing round, and believe that this provides us the foundation for growth and certainty, in an uncertain capital markets environment. Additionally, we intend this to be the last form of private financing, and should any capital need to be raised, it will be in the form of public financing. We also now have access to a $7 million equipment lease facility that will help finance our plant expansion in Indianapolis and increase our financial flexibility."
