Forward Looking Statements
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.

The material assumptions supporting these forward-looking statements include, among others, Greenpower's ability to complete the offering in the manner described, or at all and the receipt of all required regulatory approvals with respect to the offering. Actual results could differ materially due to a number of factors, including, without limitation, delays or changes of plan with respect to the offering described herein, termination of the offering in accordance with its terms, 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.
