Active Power Announces Transfer of Listing to
The NASDAQ Capital Market


AUSTIN, Texas (June 20, 2012) – Active Power, Inc. (NASDAQ: ACPW), manufacturer of continuous power and infrastructure solutions (the “Company”), announced today that its application to transfer the listing of its common stock from The NASDAQ Global Market to The NASDAQ Capital Market has been approved by NASDAQ. The NASDAQ Capital Market is one of the three markets for NASDAQ-listed stock and operates in the same manner as The NASDAQ Global Market. Companies listed on The NASDAQ Capital Market must meet certain financial requirements and adhere to NASDAQ's corporate governance standards. The transfer will be effective at the opening of business on June 21, 2012. The Company’s common stock will continue to trade under the symbol “ACPW.”

As previously reported on Dec. 19, 2011, NASDAQ notified the Company that its listed security no longer met the minimum $1.00 bid price per share requirement and subsequently the Company was unable to regain compliance within the 180-day period provided. NASDAQ has determined, however, that upon transfer to The NASDAQ Capital Market, the Company is eligible for an additional 180 calendar day period, or until Dec. 17, 2012, to meet the minimum $1.00 bid price per share requirement. If at any time during this additional time period the closing bid price of the Company's security is at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, the Company will be in compliance with the requirement and the matter will be closed. If compliance is not regained, the Company’s common stock may be delisted, subject to the Company’s right to appeal the delisting determination at that time.
