NOTICE OF ORDINARY GENERAL MEETING
MultiPower ASA
('MultiPower' or the 'Company')
Notice of Ordinary General Meeting
The board of MultiPower posted to shareholders yesterday a notice of Ordinary General Meeting ('OGM') to be held Monday 30 June 2008 at 10.00 hours CET at the Company's offices at Martin Linges vei 15-25, 1367 Snarøya together with its annual report and accounts for the year ended 31 December 2007.
Subject to the approval of the general assembly at the OGM, 87,500,000 new shares will be issued at a price of NOK 0.05 per share (approximately 0.49p). If approved the placing would raise a total of NOK 4,375,000 (approximately £430,000).
The board have decided it is in the best interests of the Company to carry out a fundraising in order to strengthen the equity position of the Company. Due to timing and to avoid substantial costs (including the preparation of a prospectus in connection with a rights issue) and given the immediate requirement for working capital, the placing has been restricted to a number of institutions, directors and individuals connected with the Company. GladiNOK AS, which is owned by Eirik Ansnes, who is responsible for certain marketing and product development activities on behalf of the Company, is not currently a shareholder of MultiPower.
