Anthony Kongats, Chief Executive Officer of Cap-XX commented:

'We were very pleased by substantial demand from institutional shareholders and welcome their support for our product and strategy, the raising brings us closer to commercialisation and volume sales to the mobile handset market, which remains on schedule.'

Notes to Editors:

CAP-XX is a world leader in the design and manufacture of thin-form supercapacitors and power management systems, predominantly for portable electronic devices.

The unique feature of CAP-XX's supercapacitors is their ability to store high volumes of energy and output high power levels within a thin-form design. These attributes will be critical for the next generation of high volume, power-hungry portable electronic devices, including mobile phones and solid state drives. 

Portable devices are one of the fastest growing segments of the electronics market and provide the greatest opportunities for CAP-XX's products.  CAP-XX's products are already an established enabling technology for the current generation of wireless devices.
