If the Transaction is completed, the Resulting Issuer will use the gross proceeds from the Financing for the manufacture and deployment of scooters in cities in OjO's pipeline, for general corporate and working capital purposes and to pay for the expenses of the Financing and the Transaction. Cash finders' fees of up to 6% of the gross proceeds of the Financing may be paid to certain finders.

If the Transaction is not completed prior to October 31, 2019 or the definitive agreement in respect of the Transaction is terminated at any earlier date, the Financing proceeds, together with any interest, will be returned to the holders of the Subscription Receipts.

The Transaction is subject to a number of conditions, as more fully described in the July 9, 2019 press release. Subject to such conditions being satisfied or, if applicable, waived, the Transaction is anticipated to close in September 2019.

Trading in the common shares of the Company has been halted in accordance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") and will remain halted until such time as all required documentation has been filed with and accepted by the TSX-V and permission to resume trading has been obtained from the TSX-V.
