Zug, Switzerland, 12 January 2017 - iQ Power Licensing AG (ISIN: CH0268536338; WKN/Security Number: A14M1C; Symbol: IQL) a developer and marketer of technologies for environmentally friendly and technologically innovative starter batteries for motor vehicles and licenses in these technologies, announces several important events of interest to investors.

Summary:
The first vehicles by an automotive manufacturer using a battery containing iQ Power technology, a premium class SUV and a pick-up truck, are now being produced in series in Brazil. The battery is an EFB type battery for extra-long cycle life, because the vehicle uses an engine with start-stop technology. Use of the iQ Power Technology more than doubles the cycle life as per test results at Licensee, Moura Baterias. Contractual obligations do not allow details such as manufacturer and model name to be publicized.

In South Korea, the Court has approved the application by Discover Energy Group (DEG), Canada, which will lead to DEG obtaining majority control of iQ Power Asia Inc. (IQPA), Gwangju, Rep. of Korea. It is anticipated that, following fulfillment of all requirements, the court will exit as administrator after only one year rather than the seven years earlier than planned.

The Board of Directors of iQ Power Licensing AG (IQPLAG) has approved a subscription by Discover Energy Group, Canada (DEG), to a mandatory convertible loan of iQPLAG equaling EUR 2,5 million. The terms of the bond are similar to the existing convertible bond, ISIN: DE000A1GXE20, with the exception that DEG is obligated to convert into shares of IQPLAG at a future time. Further, the Board of Directors of iQ Power Licensing AG (IQPLAG) has approved a subscription to a non-mandatory convertible loan to DEG equaling EUR 2,5 million. Following final negotiations regarding valuation, the loan may be converted into additional shares in IQPA or IQPA's DEG controlled holding company. Due to the financial restructuring, the current shareholding of iQ Power Licensing AG (IQPLAG) has been greatly reduced through court mandated capital reductions for all shareholders.
