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. Such forward-looking statements include, among other things, GreenPower's anticipated use of the net proceeds of the offering. The material assumptions supporting these forward-looking statements include, among others, 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, the dilutive effects of the offering, market conditions, and changes to the intended use of proceeds from the offering.
