		<description>&lt;p&gt;Katie...a few clarifications on your post and Nth Power&#039;s past investments.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;1) Silicon Energy was never publicly traded. It was acquired by the largest advanced metering and energy intelligence business; Itron. Itron is publicly traded: ITRI. The fact that it was acquired explains the &quot;surrendered&quot; status of the original corporation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;2) Northern Power was also an acquisition by Proton Energy Systems (later named Distributed Energy Systems). Proton itself was an early investment of Nth Power&#039;s and was an IPO.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;3) You missed a few other important deals we&#039;ve backed: 
a) We IPO&#039;d and led a PIPE investment in Evergreen Solar, the first pure play solar stock; 
b) We IPO&#039;d Capstone Turbine, the first pure play microturbine stock and early leader in distributed generation; and,
c) We sold Nanogram Devices, a novel battery for medical devices to the worlds largest supplier of power systems to the medical device industry, Wilson Greatbatch.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Just wanted to set the record straight and expand on some of the information in your post.&lt;/p&gt;
