Enova Systems Announces Decision to Maintain AIM Status and Appointment of New Nominated Advisor and Broker
TORRANCE, Calif. Enova Systems Inc. (the Company) (NYSE AMEX: ENA) (AIM: ENV) (AIM: ENVS) ), a leading developer of proprietary hybrid electric and all-electric drive systems and drive system components for the emerging green commercial vehicle market, has determined to maintain the listing of its ordinary shares on the AIM Exchange. Further to the announcement made on April 21, 2011, and in light of discussions with a number of the Companys shareholders, the board has reviewed its decision to cancel its admission of Ordinary Shares to trading on AIM and has decided to maintain its AIM quotation. The Company believes this decision will best serve the interests of its shareholders, many of whom indicated a desire to continue to support the Company through its quotation on AIM.
Having committed to continue trading its Ordinary Shares on AIM, the Company is pleased to announce the appointment of Daniel Stewart & Company (Daniel Stewart) as its Nominated Adviser and Broker with immediate effect.
