5 EESTOR (ESU:TSXV) HISTORY 2001 Founded as Feel Good Cars, focused on Low Speed Electric Vehicles (LSVs) 2004 Original Technology Agreement (TA) signed with EEStor, Inc. ( EEStor ) 2006 Feel Good Cars goes public. Raises $5 million. (total raised IPO to date: $40 million+) later changing the company name to Zenn Motor Company 2007 Combined equity investments in EEStor of US$7.5 million to increase stake to 10.7% 2013 Acquired 99.08% of Series A Preferred Shares of EEStor held by Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers for US$1.5 million and 3.7 million ZENN common shares and increased EEStor ownership to 41% 2014 Acquired additional common shares from existing EEStor shareholders with ZENN shares in order to obtain 71.3% controlling interest of EEStor 2014 EEStor focus realigned to initially certify and launch high-voltage solid state capacitor technology with ZENN changing its name to EEStor Corp. to reflect controlling interest 5

6 ABOUT EESTOR INC. Based in Cedar Park, TX (just outside Austin) Founded in 2001 by Richard Weir and Carl Nelson Richard Weir is currently Chief Science Officer and Co-Founder of EEStor EEStor is now controlled (71.3%) by EEStor Corp. (formally ZENN), with the remainder held primarily by the Weir family. The intent is for EEStor Corp. to obtain 100% ownership. EEStor has spent 13 years refining a Composition Modified Barium Titanate (CMBT) powder that can be used as a dielectric in capacitors, and to potentially allow for gamechanging electrical energy storage capabilities at disruptively low costs In 2014, Paumanok Publications, Inc., the world's largest supplier of market research and consulting services to the passive electronic component industry and run by Dennis Zogbi, was engaged to assist EEStor in the contextualization of its technology within the capacitor industry 6

7 CAPACITOR vs. BATTERY Capacitors are batteries first cousin they provide strong bursts of power over short periods of time. Tantalum Capacitors Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor Capacitors are used in virtually every electronic device with an overall market estimated at $18.2 Billion in Paumanok Publications, Inc. 7

8 EESTOR TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENTS In May 2014, the Board of EEStor (ESU:TSXV) approved Ian Clifford s four phased implementation plan for independent verification of the technology and improvement towards immediate commercialization: Phase 1 (Completed December 2014) Intertek Group plc (ITRK:LSE) was engaged to independently verify performance characteristics of EEStor s technology versus that of existing Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors Phase 2 (Completed March 2015) Intertek Group independently verified performance improvements of multi-layer sealed parts at higher voltages showing even further improved performance characteristics Phase 3 (Final Stage July 2015) Intertek Group to independently verify performance improvements of robotically produced multi-layer sealed parts at even higher voltages against existing internal performance results Phase 4 (Ongoing) This phase involves the ongoing development of EEStor s technology, alongside its acceptance in the capacitor market, using various highly polar polymers to bind the Barium Titanate powders to better provide characteristics for the broader energy storage market 8

9 PHASE 1(COMPLETE) On December 17, 2014, EEStor released: Intertek Group testing report, confirming performance characteristics significantly better than comparable high voltage aluminum electrolytic capacitors Paumanok Publications (Dennis Zogbi) market research report confirming disruptive market potential in the US$6 billion high voltage segment of the capacitor market, with an overall serviceable market of US$10 billion, including commentary on the near term readiness of EEStor s powders for the commercial market Rutgers University confirmation of the paraelectric structure of the CMBT powders (which enable the performance characteristics) 9

10 PHASE 2 (COMPLETE) On March 26, 2015, EEStor released: Intertek Group Phase 2 testing report, confirming performance characteristics with 3-fold improvement over Phase 1 testing Confirms that stacking of the individual layers creates multi-layer sealed parts with exemplary performance characteristics Dennis Zogbi confirmation that the technology as certified at 750v is ready for his leading capacitor industry clients 10

11 EESTOR S CAPACITOR ADVANTAGES The independent verification by Intertek Group in concert with Paumanok s research report on EEStor clearly outlines significant advantages for the company s capacitor technology; Solid State Dry Design; No Toxic Liquid Electrolytes Rapid Charge/Discharge; Low Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) Capacitance Stability With Temperature High Voltage and High Capacitance in a Solid State Design And most importantly. Low Costs To Produce 11

12 EESTOR MARKET OPPORTUNITY EEStor s near term market opportunity within the capacitor market is vast Worldwide capacitor market is estimated at $18.2 billion per year (13% year-over-year growth) 1 Initial target markets are high voltage: Industrial capacitors Specialty capacitors 1 Paumanok Publications, Inc. 12

13 CAPACITOR MARKET ENTRY Participants in the capacitor market that have an interest in EEStor s technology include: Large capacitor manufacturers Brand name consumer electronic companies Large multinationals targeting alternative energy and grid balancing applications High value niche market players Example: external defibrillators 13

14 CAPACITOR MARKET ENTRY Over the coming weeks, EEStor, alongside Dennis Zogbi, will be hosting interested parties at the company s facility outside of Austin, Texas to discuss potential partnerships Lockheed Martin Corp. (LMT:NYSE) holds the military rights to EEStor s technology Partnerships are likely to take the form of joint ventures with upfront payments and ongoing royalties attached Capacitor market is highly segmented therefore making multiple joint ventures likely Niche segments of the market can also make for lucrative one off joint ventures Potential licensing and manufacturing partnerships to be discussed as well Overall, EEStor s solid state and industry leading performance characteristics of the company s third party verified proprietary technology alongside its low cost profile make it an extremely attractive joint venture partner 14
