US-based advanced fuel cell solutions group IdaTech raised about £12.7m when it floated on AIM this morning, giving the company a market capitalisation of £49.5m.

The group, which makes hydrogen-powered fuel cells for back-up systems, which can maintain power when the grid fails, placed 14.18m new shares and 1.09m existing shares at 100p each, representing about 30.9% in the company.

IdaTech has also entered into a medium term loan note of about £5m, giving it access to aggregate funding of around £17.7m.

"The float will enable the company to increase its research and development efforts and widen its sales and marketing capabilities to encompass a greater number of geographies, vertical industries and distribution channels," said chief executive Harol Koyama.

Dresdner Kleinwort is nominated adviser and broker to the company.

If they have to be sold immediately, you may get back much less than you paid for them or you may have difficulty in selling them. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. The price may change quickly and it may go down as well as up. You could lose every penny put into a particular share.
