Heliocentris' Agreement with Acta becomes effective
* Acta announces successful completion of its capital raising
* Heliocentris acquires equity stake in Acta of TEUR 250 in shares
* Strategic partnership agreement between Heliocentris and Acta becomes
effective
Berlin - 15 March 2012: Heliocentris, a specialist in autonomous energy
supply and energy efficiency solutions, has entered into a strategic
partnership agreement with Acta S.p.A. a leading developer and manufacturer
of compact hydrogen generators (electrolysers).
Heliocentris committed to invest EUR250,000 in the course of an equity
increase of Acta, conditional on the successful completion of a capital
increase to raise GBP 1.8 million (plus the investment by Heliocentris) to
finance the working capital requirements of the Company's current
commercial expansion.
This condition is now met and on 14 March 2012 Acta announced the
successful closing its financing round as planned. The gross proceeds of
the capital raise are GBP 2.0 million, the stocks were issued at a stock
price of GBP 0.04 each. Following this capital increase Heliocentris holds
an equity interest of 5.3% in Acta.
With this partnership, Heliocentris gets access to the highly competitive
and revolutionary electrolyser technology of Acta. Their noble metal free,
very low cost technology is an important strategic step for Heliocentris in
executing its strategy to offer zero emission clean power solutions, with
electrolysers allowing the storage of renewable energies such as solar or
wind power through hydrogen. So far the high cost of on-site hydrogen
production has been a big hurdle for the marketing of zero-emission diesel
genset replacement solutions using fuel cells. In this potentially huge
market the doors are now open for Heliocentris.
In the short term with the goal of early revenues from this technology
investment Heliocentris aims to introduce its Acta based electrolysers into
its training and lab market and so leverages its worldwide distribution
network here.
We also intend to implement this technology in our zero emission solutions
for telecom and other stationary power applications. In the telecom sector
Heliocentris is already established as one of the main players with
innovative energy efficiency solutions enabling mobile operators to reduce
their fuel costs by more than 50%. Replacing gensets by zero emission
hydrogen fuel cell solutions will be the consecutive next step for
Heliocentris.
