Unique Mobility Warrant Holders Acquire $3.5 Million Of Common Stock

GOLDEN, Colo., March 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Unique Mobility, Inc. (Amex: UQM - news)
announced today that the holders of warrants to acquire shares of the Company's
common stock at an exercise price of $8 per share have acquired 436,212 shares
of common stock resulting in cash proceeds to the Company of $3,489,696. The
warrants were issued as part of a unit offering in 1998 to finance the Company's
acquisition of Franklin Manufacturing Company and expired at various dates in
March, unless extended. Warrants to acquire 926,587 shares of common stock,
including warrants issued to the placement agents were issued in the offering.

In the fall of 1999, the Company offered the warrant holders an opportunity to
extend the term of the warrants for an additional eighteen months at any time
through their original expiration date. Extensions were granted at a cost equal
to the fair value of the option extension on the date the election to extend was
made. Accordingly, warrant holders having the right to acquire 299,375 shares of
common stock elected to extend their warrants for eighteen months resulting in
additional cash proceeds to the Company of $78,151. Warrants to purchase 12,000
shares of common stock expire in April, 2000 and warrants to purchase 179,000
shares expired unexercised.

Donald A. French, Unique's Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer said, "These
warrant holders were instrumental in providing the financing for our acquisition
of Franklin and have been some of our largest institutional holders. We
appreciate their continued support of our Company. Cash proceeds from the stock
purchases will be applied to general corporate purposes, including debt
reduction and acquisitions."
