International Power Group, Ltd. (Pink Sheets:IPWG), a leading provider of waste-to-energy solutions, including waste-to-energy development and waste-to-energy technologies, announced that on April 14, 2010 the Securities Exchange Commission issued a ruling in the Administrative Appeal before the SEC in regard to IPWG's application for a stay of the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") chill on the public trading of IPWG's common stock.   

In its ruling, the SEC denied the requested stay of the chill pending the decision of the SEC on the legality of the DTC's actions that are currently presented in the administrative appeal.  As such, the DTC chill shall remain in place. The SEC found that IPWG did not present sufficient evidence to prove that IPWG or its shareholders have suffered "irreparable harm" by DTC's actions and that the chill did not appear to "negatively affect the efficiency of the market in IPWG shares".

The SEC further stated: "To the extent that investors experienced difficulties trading IPWG shares after the suspension of services, it appears that the policies of their brokers, rather than any requirements of the DTC, caused such difficulties.

IPWG's CEO, John Benvengo stated, "we are obviously disappointed with this ruling, but we view it merely as a setback, and not the final answer. We intend to continue to fight to convince the SEC that IPWG and its shareholders have suffered tremendous harm by the DTC chill, that the market for IPWG shares has been negatively impacted and that the DTC chill is completely unjustified under the circumstances."

The SEC has asked several questions of the parties and has set a schedule for further submissions to the SEC administrative appellate panel: (1) on May 13, 2010 the DTC will file its response to the questions raised by the SEC; (2) on June 14, 2010 IPWG submits its response and opposition to the DTC's response; and (3) on June 28, 2010 the DTC will file a reply to IPWG's submission.

A copy of the ruling and the Company's motion papers requesting a stay will be made available on the Company's website.
