VANCOUVER, BC, May 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — GreenPower Motor Company Inc. (NASDAQ: GP) (TSXV: GPV) (“GreenPower” or the “Company”), a leading manufacturer and distributor of purpose-built, all-electric, zero-emission medium and heavy-duty vehicles serving the cargo and delivery market, shuttle and transit space and school bus sector, today announced the closing of its previously announced underwritten public offering (the “Offering”).

The Offering consisted of 1,500,000 common shares and warrants to purchase 1,500,000 common shares. Each common share was sold together with one warrant at a combined public offering price of US$1.55. The warrants have an exercise price of US$1.82 per share, are exercisable immediately and will expire three years following the date of issuance. In addition, the Company granted the underwriter a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 5 percent of the number of common shares and/or warrants offered in the Offering, of which Maxim has partially exercised its option to purchase additional warrants to purchase 75,000 common shares. Gross proceeds from the Offering were approximately US$2.3 million before deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses, inclusive of the over-allotment.

Maxim Group LLC acted as sole book-running manager for the Offering.

GreenPower currently intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for the production of all-electric vehicles, including BEAST school buses and EV Star commercial vehicles, as well as for product development, with the remainder, if any, for general corporate purposes.

The Offering was made pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on Form F-3, as amended, (File No. 333-276209) previously filed with and subsequently declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 2, 2024.

This press release contains forward-looking statements with the meaning of applicable securities laws. Forward-looking statements are not based on historical facts, but rather on current expectations and projections about future events and are therefore subject to risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from the future results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. These statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as “upon”, “may”, “should”, “will”, “could”, “intend”, “estimate”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “expect”, “believe” or “continue”, or the negative thereof or similar variations. Such forward-looking statements include, among other things, GreenPower’s anticipated use of the net proceeds of the Offering,. The material assumptions supporting these forward-looking statements include, among others, the receipt of all required regulatory approvals with respect to the Offering and the Company’s continued production of BEAST school buses and EV Star commercial vehicles. Actual results could differ materially due to a number of factors, including, without limitation, the dilutive effects of the Offering, market conditions, and changes to the intended use of proceeds from the Offering. Although GreenPower believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking information or statements are reasonable, prospective investors in GreenPower’s securities should not place undue reliance on forward-looking information and statements because GreenPower can provide no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct.
