Blue Sky Energy Inc. (“BSI”) (NEX:BSI) is pleased to announce that EV Technology Group Inc. (“EVT”) has closed the first tranche of its concurrent subscription receipt financing (the “Financing”) at a subscription price of C$1 per subscription receipt (“Subscription Receipt”) for aggregate gross proceeds of C$5.4 million.

As disclosed in its January 19, 2022 press release, BSI entered into an amalgamation agreement with EVT for the purpose of completing a reverse take-over transaction by way of a three-corner amalgamation (the “Amalgamation”) with EVT (the “RTO”) pursuant to which (i) EVT would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of BSI, and (ii) BSI would change its name to “EV Technology Group Inc.” (the “Name Change”) and operate the EVT business as the resulting issuer of the RTO (the “Resulting Issuer”). The completion of the Financing represents a key milestone to closing the RTO, upon which it is expected that the common shares of the Resulting Issuer will be listed for trading on the Neo Exchange Inc. (“NEO”).

BSI and EVT have both already secured the requisite shareholder approval in connection with the RTO. BSI held its annual and special meeting of shareholders on February 17, 2022 at which the BSI shareholders approved, among other things, the Name Change, the new slate of directors who shall join the board upon closing of the RTO, the consolidation of the common shares of BSI (the “BSI Shares”) on an up to four to one basis and the delisting of the BSI Shares from the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”). EVT held its annual meeting of shareholders on March 1, 2022 at which the EVT shareholders approved the proposed Amalgamation. BSI and EVT will continue to complete the remaining conditions to closing the RTO and will provide a further update on the status and timing of the RTO in the next several weeks, including any additional tranches of the Financing.

“It is great to have the financing completed which shows the support we have received from investors who continue to back our vision of taking iconic brands and making them electric. This will be the first step of many as we embark on our mission to electrify iconic driving experiences across the globe,” said EVT Founder and CEO, Wouter Witvoet.

The Subscription Receipts were created and issued pursuant to the terms of a subscription receipt agreement dated March 15, 2022 among BSI, EVT and a subscription receipt agent. Each Subscription Receipt will be automatically exchanged, without payment of additional consideration or further action by the holder thereof, into a fraction of an EVT common share equal to 1/4.7 (or approximately 0.21276596 of an EVT common share), subject to adjustment in certain events, immediately prior to the completion of the RTO upon the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions precedent to the RTO and certain other ancillary conditions customary for transactions of this nature (collectively, the “Release Conditions”) at or before the release deadline of July 13, 2022. Each EVT common share will be automatically exchanged for 4.7 common shares of the Resulting Issuer upon completion of the RTO, such that holders of Subscription Receipts will ultimately be entitled to receive one Resulting Issuer common share for each Subscription Receipt.

On closing of the Financing, the aggregate proceeds from the Financing were delivered to and are being held by the subscription receipt agent in escrow and will be released from escrow to EVT upon satisfaction of the applicable Release Conditions prior to the release deadline. In the event that the Release Conditions are not satisfied on or before the release deadline, or prior to the release deadline, EVT announces that it does not intend to, or will be unable to, satisfy the Release Conditions, holders of the Subscription Receipts shall be entitled to receive from the subscription receipt agent an amount equal to the aggregate subscription price of the Subscription Receipts.

The net proceeds of the Financing are expected to be used by the Resulting Issuer for corporate and general working capital purposes.

In connection with its commercial introduction plans, EVT has entered into a 12- month programmatic digital advertising campaign with Native Ads Inc. ("Native Ads") for a total cost of US$250,000. This comprehensive advertising program is designed to build awareness through the following services: (a) digital advertising (b) paid distribution, (c) media buying and (d) content creation.

About EV Technology Group Inc.

EVT was founded in 2021 with the mission of electrifying iconic driving experiences. With electric vehicles (“EV”) sales increasing by a forecasted 833% in the next decade, EVs are expected to transform the landscape of traditional vehicle manufacturers. Whereas some new entrants in the space are focused on competing directly with established vehicle manufacturers, EVT is focused on operating EV brands and EV assembly in niche markets that typically have higher margins and require less capital expenditure than mass market electric vehicles. A first step in realizing this strategy is EVT’s partnership with MOKE International Limited (“MIL”). MIL has been the official producer of MOKE vehicles since 1964 and is launching the Moke Electric for the summer of 2022. Through Moke France SAS, an EVT subsidiary, EVT will be MIL’s dealer and distribution partner in France and has placed pre-orders for the MOKE vehicles for distribution and rental in France.

About Native Ads Inc.
