<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On September&nbsp;15, 2011, Energy Conversion Devices, Inc. (the &#147;Company&#148;), received a
deficiency letter (the &#147;Notification Letter&#148;) from The NASDAQ Stock Market (&#147;NASDAQ&#148;) notifying the
Company that it no longer meets NASDAQ&#146;s requirements for continued listing on the NASDAQ Global
Select Market under NASDAQ Listing Rule&nbsp;5450(a)(1) (the &#147;Bid Price Rule&#148;) because the minimum bid
price of the Company&#146;s common stock has not equaled or exceeded $1.00 at least once over a period
of 30 consecutive trading days. The Notification Letter does not impact the Company&#146;s listing on
the NASDAQ Global Select Market at this time and the Company&#146;s common stock will continue to trade
on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol &#147;ENER.&#148;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;NASDAQ explained in the Notification Letter that under NASDAQ Listing Rule&nbsp;5810(c)(3)(A), the
Company will be afforded 180 calendar days, or until March&nbsp;13, 2012, to regain compliance with the
Bid Price Rule. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Company&#146;s common stock must
meet or exceed $1.00 per share for at least 10 consecutive business days. If the Company does not
regain compliance by March&nbsp;13, 2012, NASDAQ will provide written notification to the Company that
the Company&#146;s common stock will be subject to delisting from the NASDAQ Global Select Market. The
Company may, however, be eligible for an additional grace period if it satisfies the continued
listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing
standards (with the exception of the Bid Price Rule) for listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market, and
submits a timely notification to NASDAQ to transfer the listing of our common stock to the NASDAQ
Capital Market. The Company may also appeal NASDAQ&#146;s delisting determination to a NASDAQ Hearings
Panel.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company intends to actively monitor the bid price of our common stock and will consider
available options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with the NASDAQ requirements.
Such actions could include implementation of a reverse split of the Company&#146;s common stock, which
would need to be authorized by the Company&#146;s stockholders, or other possible actions. However, the
Company has not yet determined what action to pursue to ensure compliance with NASDAQ&#146;s continued
listing requirements, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain
compliance with NASDAQ&#146;s continued listing requirements or successfully transition to the NASDAQ
Capital Market.
