Why GreenPower Motor Shares Are Falling

GreenPower Motor Company Inc GP shares are trading lower by 22.5% to $1.41 during Tuesday's session after the company priced its underwritten public offering, consisting of 1.5 million common shares and warrants to purchase an equal number of shares, at a combined price of $1.55 per share.

This amounts to approximately $2.3 million in gross proceeds before deductions. The warrants, with an exercise price of approximately $1.82 per share, will expire three years from the date of issuance and are immediately exercisable. 

Additionally, the underwriter has a 45-day option to purchase up to 5% more of the offered shares and/or warrants. Maxim Group LLC is the sole book-running manager for the offering. 

GreenPower plans to utilize the net proceeds for the production of all-electric vehicles, including school buses and commercial vehicles, along with product development and general corporate purposes. The offering is expected to close around May 9, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals.
