(the “Company”),. ~~received~~The aCompany’s ~~deficiency~~common ~~letter~~stock ~~(the~~was ~~“Notification Letter”)~~suspended ~~from~~on ~~The~~February 24, ~~NASDAQ~~2012 ~~Stock~~and ~~Market~~has ~~(“NASDAQ”)~~not ~~notifying~~traded ~~the~~on ~~Company~~NASDAQ since that intime. ~~accordance~~NASDAQ ~~with~~will ~~Listing~~file ~~Rules~~a ~~5101,~~Form ~~5110(b),~~25 ~~and~~with ~~IM-5101-1,~~ the ~~staff~~Securities ofand ~~the~~Exchange ~~NASDAQ~~Commission ~~has~~to ~~determined~~complete ~~that~~ the ~~Company’s~~delisting. ~~securities~~The delisting ~~will~~becomes beeffective ~~delisted~~10 ~~from The~~days ~~Nasdaq~~after ~~Stock~~the ~~Market~~Form 25 is filed.

The ~~NASDAQ staff reached its decision under Nasdaq Listing Rules 5101, 5110(b), and IM-5101-1 following the~~ Company’s ~~announcement~~common ~~that~~stock ~~the~~is ~~Company~~currently ~~and~~trading ~~its~~on ~~wholly owned operating subsidiary United Solar Ovonic LLC (“USO” and together with~~ the ~~Company, the “Debtors”) voluntarily filed petitions for relief under the~~ ~~provisions~~Pink ofOTC ~~Chapter~~Markets 11 (~~“Chapter 11”) of Title 11 of~~ the ~~United States Bankruptcy Code (~~“~~Bankruptcy~~Pink ~~Code~~Sheets”) inunder the ~~United~~symbol ~~States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Michigan (the~~ “~~Bankruptcy Court,~~ENERQ.” ~~and such cases~~However, the ~~“Chapter~~Company 11can ~~Cases”).~~give ~~The~~no ~~Chapter~~assurance 11that ~~Cases~~trading ~~are~~in ~~being~~its ~~administered~~common ~~under~~stock ~~the~~will ~~captions~~continue ~~“In~~on rethe ~~Energy~~Pink ~~Conversion~~Sheets ~~Devices,~~or ~~Inc.,”~~any ~~Case~~other ~~No. 12-43166~~securities ~~and~~exchange ~~“In~~or requotation ~~United Solar Ovonic LLC,” Case No~~medium. ~~12-43167.~~

Given this continued listing requirement, the early status of the Chapter 11 Cases and the demands the Chapter 11 Cases have posed on the Company’s resources, the Company does not plan to appeal the Staff’s determination to delist the Company’s common stock. Accordingly, trading of the Company’s common stock will be suspended at the opening of business on February 24, 2012, and a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which will remove the Company’s securities from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market.

After the Company’s common stock is delisted by NASDAQ, it may trade on the OTC Bulletin Board (“OTC BB”) or the Pink OTC Markets Inc. (the “Pink Sheets”), but only if a market maker applies to quote the Company’s common stock. There is no assurance that any market maker will decide to quote the Company’s common stock immediately following delisting by NASDAQ, or at all, and thus there is no assurance that the Company’s common stock will be eligible to trade on the OTC BB or the Pink Sheets.
