Forward-looking statements are not based on historical facts, but rather on current expectations and projections about future events and are therefore subject to risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from the future results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. 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 ATM Program and the number of Common Shares to be sold in connection to the ATM Program, if any. The material assumptions supporting these forward-looking statements include, among others, the receipt of all required regulatory approvals with respect to the ATM Program. 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 ATM Program.
