Maturity Date Extension Supports Near-Term Liquidity Goals During Anticipated Production Ramp in the Second Half of 2023

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / September 25, 2023 / Vicinity Motor Corp. (NASDAQ: VEV)(TSXV:VMC) ("Vicinity" or the "Company"), a North American supplier of commercial electric vehicles, today announced that it has completed an amendment of its unsecured debenture in the original principal amount of CAD$10.3 million, inclusive of an extension of the maturity date to October 4, 2024.

Per the terms of the amendment, the maturity date was extended by one year and accrued interest of CAD$1.7 million was added to the original principal balance of CAD$10.3 million, reflecting a new principal amount of CAD$12.0 million at a new interest rate of 13%. The 1,000,000 warrants that were issued in conjunction with the previous extension have been cancelled, and 1,500,000 new warrants will be issued with an 18-month term. The warrants are exercisable at CAD$1.33 which represents the 10 day VWAP preceding this announcement. The note now carries a repayment schedule with 25% of the principal due on April 4, 2024 - a further 25% due on July 4, 2024 - and the remaining 50% due plus all accrued interest on October 4, 2024.

"We are pleased to announce the extension of the maturity date on our unsecured debentures, reflecting the strong collaborative partnership we have with our stakeholders," said William Trainer, Founder and CEO of Vicinity Motor Corp. "As we ramp production at our recently opened Ferndale facility through year-end, this will provide us with the optionality needed to ensure we can execute unimpeded. I look forward to a growing cadence of near-term vehicle deliveries to our established base of eager customers - helping us to drive sustainable value for our shareholders over the long-term."

The issuance of the warrants under the note amendment are subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval. All warrants to be issued will bear a hold period of four months and a day from the date of issuance.
