OPEL Technologies Announces Date and Location of AGM

OPEL Technologies Inc. (TSX VENTURE:OPL)(OTCQX:OPELF) ("OPEL" or "the Company")
announces the following:


The Annual Report for the Year ended December 31st, 2012 has been filed on SEDAR.

The Annual General Meeting of Shareholders ("AGM") is scheduled for 9:00 am on
Friday, June 21, 2013 at the Nathan Hale Inn and Conference Center, 855 Bolton
Road, Storrs-Mansfields, Connecticut. The Record Date for voting and receiving
notice of the AGM has been set at May 11, 2013. The Company intends to use the
"Notice and Access" method for this upcoming AGM, whereby only the proxy will be
mailed to shareholders and the Information Circular will be available for
download from the Company's website at www.opelinc.com/AGM. The proxy will be
mailed to Shareholders on or about May 22, 2013 and will contain the details of
the meeting and the instructions for downloading the Information Circular or
requesting a hard copy.


The Company's Transfer Agent will be mailing proxies to the Registered
Shareholders (holding physical share certificates) and a Voting Instruction Form
(VIF) to the NOBO Shareholders (who have consented to having their broker
release the details of their shareholdings to the Company). Shareholders will be
able to vote online, by fax or by mail. The OBO Shareholders (who have requested
to remain anonymous) may, at the discretion of their broker, receive a VIF
mailed by the Broker or his agent. Shareholders receiving a VIF will be required
to submit their VIF in such time that it is received at least 48 hours before
the meeting. If they wish to attend the AGM and vote personally, they must
appoint themselves as proxyholder.


Shareholders may want to contact their broker to verify whether they are on the
NOBO or OBO list and, if desired, request a change of their status before the
Record Date.


Following the AGM, shareholders will again this year be provided with the
opportunity to tour the ODIS lab facility showcasing the intricacy of the POET
breakthrough technology.

please call them directly to make a reservation (tel: [phone]). There are a
limited number of rooms being held for OPEL shareholders. Identify yourself as
part of the OPEL Group to receive the reduced rate being offered on a first come
