As previously disclosed, on June 20, 2012 at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Satcon Technology Corporation (the “Company”), the Company’s stockholders approved a proposal that authorized the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), in its discretion, to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s outstanding common stock, subject to certain parameters.  On July 3, 2012, the Board approved a reverse stock split on a 1-for-8 exchange ratio.  The Company anticipates that the reverse stock split will be effective and that its common stock will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis on The NASDAQ Capital Market at the opening of trading on July 19, 2012.  No fractional shares will be issued and, instead, fractional shares will be rounded up to the nearest whole share.  The Company issued a press release on July 9, 2012 announcing the reverse stock split, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
