DrazCanna, Inc. announces Change of Control, Change of Business Direction, and Corporate Actions

DEARBORN HEIGHTS, MI / ACCESSWIRE / November 2, 2023 / Discussions concerning the acquisition of DrazCanna, Inc. (OTC PINK:DZCA) began this summer with due diligence by the parties completed by early September. Members of the DrazCanna team visited EV Electra's R&D Center in Lebanon, reviewed and drove a pre-production model, performed financial due diligence,

DrazCanna team member with extensive experience with two of the world's most recognized automotive OEM brands completed an engineering and safety review of vehicle models. EV Electra's review of DrazCanna, Inc. concluded in a clean shell for a reverse merger determination.

"I want to salute DrazCanna's prior leadership and team as they sought out a reverse merger opportunity for the benefit of the shareholders. From the beginning, the goal for us all was to create a win-win where DrazCanna shareholders and EV Electra shareholders could combine forces." stated Jihad Mohammad, "A reverse merger with a public company is part of the evolution of EV Electra's strategic plan to become a worldwide leading manufacturer of electric vehicles."

Change of Control of DrazCanna, Inc.

On September 20, 2023, Jihad Mohammad was appointed CEO and President of DrazCanna, Inc. with Mouktar Makouk appointed as Treasurer and CFO. Also, Jihad Mohammad was elected to the Board of Directors as sole member. On the same date, Hussein Anani resigned as DrazCanna. Inc.'s CEO, CFO, and member of Board of Directors. On October 27, 2023, the change of control processes with OTC Markets were completed.

Name Change Filing to EV Electra LTD

On October 18, 2023, DrazCanna, Inc. filed with FINRA an application to change its name to EV Electra LTD in preparation for the reverse merger as well as to better reflect its business model within the electric vehicle industry going forward. The company's filing also includes a request for a new ticker symbol.

Change of Business Direction

DrazCanna has abandoned its planned entry into the bio-pharmaceutical industry as part of the change in control and reverse merger at its final legal stage. The company's new business direction is within the emerging electric vehicle industry.

The electric vehicle industry is experiencing robust growth as sales of internal combustion engine vehicles are expected to decline. Revenue in the Electric Vehicles market is projected to exceed US$500 billion in 2023 with expectation to exceed USD $1 trillion in sales by 2030. The tremendous growth in the Electric Vehicles market has largely been driven by China, Europe, and the U.S. accounting for about 95% of the global electric vehicle sales. Future industry revenue growth is enhanced as the rest of the world embraces electric vehicles and overcomes the top reasons for the slow progress experienced, including the lack of or limited availability of public charging infrastructure and the premium prices that electric vehicles in certain regions command.

Corporate Governance

On October 27, 2023, DrazCanna, Inc. posted its audited annual report and filed the first quarter report on October 30, 2023. The company intends to change its year-end to 12/31.

"I wish to congratulate all team members involved in completing the regulatory processes allowing us to move forward in the evolution of EV Electra LTD." stated Jihad Mohammad CEO, "In a short period of time since the completion of the change of control process, the team led by our CFO has completed and filed DrazCanna's June 30, 2023 annual audit and quarterly financial report for September 30, 2023. The timely filings are representative of our commitment to best practices in corporate governance."

Reverse Merger - Evolution of EV Electra LTD

"We are pleased to announce a reverse merger between EV Electra and DrazCanna shareholders is at its last legal phase." stated Jihad Mohammad, "Currently, we are in final legal review of the necessary reverse merger documents. We expect to close the transaction by before year-end."

Ensuring a seamless transition for our shareholders, every 2.112272423 shares in EV Electra will translate into one share in DrazCanna, allowing every shareholder to actively participate in the growth of our new venture.
