Advanced Battery Technologies to List on the NASDAQ Capital Market
Advanced Battery Technologies, Inc.
(AMEX: GBT) announced that on February 26, 2008 its common shares will
commence trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market. Advanced Battery shares are
currently traded on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol GBT.
Advanced Battery Technologies, Inc. develops, manufactures, and distributes
rechargeable polymer lithium-ion (PLI) battery cells for use in electric
vehicles, mining equipment, and a variety of other consumer electronics.
"We are extremely gratified to have reached this major milestone," Mr.
Zhiguo Fu, Advanced Battery's Chairman and CEO, stated. "We believe the
NASDAQ Capital Market is the ideal exchange for listing of our shares and
that listing on the NASDAQ will significantly broaden our exposure. The
Small Order Execution System (SOES) feature that NASDAQ possesses ensures
that in 'turbulent' market conditions small market orders are not forgotten
but are automatically processed," Mr. Fu concluded.
The NASDAQ Capital Market is the largest U.S. equities exchange, with
approximately 3,200 listed companies. Nasdaq-listed companies are leaders
across all areas of business including technology, retail, communications,

"On the NASDAQ market makers, personal investors and small traders are all
put on an even playing field. Being able, through NASDAQ's Electronic
Communication Network (ECNs) structure, to put everyone on an even playing
field is very important for the future of this company," stated Mr. Zhiguo
Fu.
