As described in Oakmont’s press releases dated September 23, 2014 and October 27, 2014, Oakmont is undertaking the Offering in connection with the proposed amalgamation of Oakmont with GreenPower Motor Company Inc. (“GreenPower”), which will constitute a Reverse Takeover (the “Transaction”) of Oakmont, as defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”).
The Company has decided to reduce the minimum offering from 16,000,000 common shares to 11,200,000 common shares. The maximum offering amount and price per common share shall remain and therefore, the Offering shall now consist of a minimum of 11,200,000 common shares and a maximum of 20,000,000 common shares, at a price of $0.25 per post consolidation (on a one (1) for two (2) basis) common share, for minimum aggregate proceeds of $2,800,000 and maximum aggregate proceeds of $5,000,000, subject to the receipt of approval from the Exchange. Up to $1,000,000 of the Offering, or such other amount as agreed to between the Company and the agent, may still be completed on a non-brokered basis and closing of the Offering remains conditional upon, among other things, Exchange approval of the Offering and the Transaction and the concurrent closing of the Transaction.
In connection the transaction with GreenPower, Oakmont is pleased to announce that GreenPower has entered into a letter of intent (the “Letter of Intent”) with AMC Transportation Services, Inc. (“AMC”), whereby AMC has agreed to sell GreenPower’s EV350. AMC is based in Orlando, Florida and offers a broad range of transportation services. AMC has identified an opportunity to sell up to 7 EV350’s for shuttle operations at a theme park, up to 5 vehicles for shuttle operations with an entertainment company and up to 5 vehicles for scheduled route services to a university based in Florida.
Pursuant to the Letter of Intent, GreenPower will configure a 2015 model year of the EV350 for the shuttle operations and will lease an EV350 consecutively to each potential customer identified by AMC for a one month trial period whereby the customer can evaluate, test and demonstrate the operational capabilities of the EV350. At the conclusion of a successful trial period then it is anticipated that the customer will sign a bill of sale to purchase each EV350 at an estimated price of U.S. $895,000. For its services, GreenPower has agreed to pay to AMC a fee of 10% of the cash paid on the sales proceeds.
