Vicinity Motor Corp. Enters into Workout Agreement
to Develop a Restructuring Plan with Creditors
Vicinity Seeks to Forge Clear Path Forward in Ongoing
Discussions with Creditors
VANCOUVER,
BC - August 21, 2024 - Vicinity Motor Corp. (NASDAQ:VEV)(TSXV:VMC) (“Vicinity”
or the “Company”),
a North American supplier of commercial buses and electric vehicles, today announced it has reached an agreement with its secured
lenders to execute a workout and financial restructuring plan to address the previously announced demands from Royal Bank of Canada and
Export Development Canada (the “Secured Lenders”) in respect of outstanding credit facilities to progress towards financial
stability for the Company.
Vicinity and the Secured Lenders have agreed to the
terms of the workout for the next 60 days, discussing with the Secured Lenders its revenues, debt structures, and initiatives to reorganize.
During this period, the Company will return to limited operations and the Secured Lenders will retain all rights previously asserted.
Prior to the conclusion of the workout period, Vicinity expects to have entered into a restructuring plan that may include agreements
for payment and creditor rights and protections.
During this period Vicinity will work to preserve
the value of its assets, execute in process deliveries, and facilitate technical and parts support programs. The Company will continue
to work closely with vendors, customers, and partners during this period as it endeavors to return to normal full operations within the
60-day period.
“We are pleased to announce this support from
our creditor partners and the opportunity to further the important role Vicinity plays in the passenger transportation industry and as
a leader in Class 3 commercial EV truck manufacturing,” said Brent Phillips, President of Vicinity Motor Corp. “Our strong
backlog of fuel neutral bus orders, including clean diesel and electric buses, provides a solid foundation for this workout plan. The
market opportunity for Vicinity buses and industry metrics support accelerated development of our energy efficient transit bus product
line while the Class 3 commercial truck market continues to develop.”
