Corporate Finance Specialist

GreenPower's 10:1 share consolidation could boost share price above minimum listing requirements while maintaining market capitalization.

GreenPower Motor Company has announced a 10:1 share consolidation (reverse stock split) effective August 28, 2025, reducing outstanding shares from 30,462,084 to approximately 3,046,229 shares. This strategic move maintains the company's market capitalization while increasing the per-share price by a factor of ten.

This type of corporate action is typically implemented for several key reasons: to increase share price to meet exchange listing requirements (Nasdaq requires minimum $1 share price), to improve investor perception of the stock, or to attract institutional investors who often have minimum share price thresholds.

The consolidation affects all stakeholders proportionally - outstanding options, warrants, and convertible debentures will be adjusted accordingly. Notably, GreenPower is taking a shareholder-friendly approach by rounding fractional shares up to the nearest whole share rather than cashing them out, which benefits small shareholders.

For existing shareholders, while their number of shares will decrease by 90%, their ownership percentage and total investment value theoretically remains unchanged. However, reverse splits sometimes face selling pressure post-implementation as they can signal financial distress, though this varies based on the company's specific circumstances and communication strategy.

GreenPower, which designs and manufactures electric medium and heavy-duty vehicles, will maintain its trading symbols (GPV on TSX Venture Exchange and GP on Nasdaq) following the consolidation, with Computershare managing the administrative process for shareholders.

VANCOUVER, BC, Aug. 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- GreenPower Motor Company Inc. (Nasdaq: GP) (TSXV: GPV) ("GreenPower") announces that, further to its News Release of August 20, 2025, the TSX Venture Exchange has approved the consolidation of its issued and outstanding common shares (the "Shares") on the basis of one new Share (a "Post-consolidated Share") for every ten currently outstanding Shares (the "Consolidation").  The Consolidation will become effective at the opening of the market on August 28, 2025.  The Company's symbol shall remain as "GPV" on the TSX Venture Exchange, and "GP" on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange. 

Currently, a total of 30,462,084 Shares are issued and outstanding. Accordingly, upon the Consolidation becoming effective, a total of 3,046,229 Shares, subject to adjustments for rounding, will be issued and outstanding. There is no maximum number of authorized Shares. No fractional Post-consolidated Shares will be issued as a result of the Consolidation. Shareholders who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a Post-consolidated Share will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of Post-consolidated Shares and no cash consideration will be paid in respect of fractional shares.

The exercise price and number of Shares of the Company, issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options and warrants and conversion of outstanding convertible debentures, will be proportionally adjusted upon the implementation of the proposed Consolidation in accordance with the terms thereof.

Computershare Investor Services Inc. ("Computershare") will mail letters of transmittal to the shareholders providing instructions on exchanging pre-Consolidation share certificates for post-Consolidation share certificates.  Shareholders are encouraged to send their share certificates, together with their letter of transmittal, to Computershare in accordance with the instructions in the letter of transmittal.
