ISE Limited Completes Initial Public Offering (Canada)

Begins trading on Toronto Stock Exchange

TORONTO - (Marketwire - Feb. 23, 2010) - ISE Limited (TSX: ISE) announced today that it has successfully completed its initial public offering of 3,450,000 common shares at a price of C$6.00 per common share for gross proceeds of C$20,700,000. The common shares begin trading today on Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol "ISE". The offering was sold through a syndicate of underwriters co-led by Raymond James Ltd. and RBC Dominion Securities Inc., and including Cormark Securities Inc. and Jacob Securities Inc.

Certain shareholders of ISE have granted the underwriters an over-allotment option, exercisable for a period of 30 days from closing, to purchase up to an additional 517,500 common shares at the offering price of C$6.00 per share. ISE will not receive any proceeds derived from the sale of common shares on exercise of the over-allotment option, if any.
ISE intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for research and development, capital equipment purchases, secured convertible promissory note repayment, and sales and marketing expansion.

"We are proud to become a public company on Toronto Stock Exchange," stated Rick Sander, CEO and President of ISE Limited. "This new corporate milestone enables us to continue building upon a strong foundation of hybrid-electric drive system products and energy storage system products for the heavy duty vehicle market. In December 2009, Long Beach Transit, our customer since 2001, reached 10 million miles in revenue service with its fleet of gasoline hybrid-electric buses powered by our hybrid-electric drive systems. In Fall 2009, we booked sales of our lithium energy storage systems to two major global manufacturers of heavy duty vehicles. We are excited to have successfully completed our initial public offering, which will enable us to expand sales globally and invest further in our energy storage system technologies, controls software and power electronics."
"ISE is an excellent example of a U.S.-based company that has successfully accessed the capital it needs on Toronto Stock Exchange," said Kevan Cowan, President TSX Markets and Group Head of Equities. "We are very proud to have the company on our market."
