E Automotive Inc. d/b/a EINC Announces Search for Chief Financial Officer

TORONTO, June 9, 2023 /CNW/ - E Automotive Inc. d/b/a EINC ("EINC" or the "Company") today announced that it has engaged an external firm to initiate a search for a new Chief Financial Officer (CFO) as a result of an agreement between the Company and Andrew Bohlin that he intends to pursue new opportunities. Mr. Bohlin will remain with EINC as CFO through a transition period until September 1, 2023.

"Andy has been a highly valued member of our team as we have executed six acquisitions in two years and completed an IPO," said Jason McClenahan, CEO of EINC. "Andy recruited and mentored a strong team within our finance group and led the design and implementation of our policies and procedures as a public company such that we are well positioned to continue to scale the business on our existing cost base, which has dramatically improved. On behalf of the entire company, we thank Andy for his contribution and wish him our best in his next endeavour."

"My journey with Jason and EINC has been a tremendous opportunity. The vision of EINC to transform the automotive wholesale market with its digital-meets-physical strategy is the future of the market," said Andy Bohlin. "I have the utmost respect and confidence in the team's ability to deliver on that potential. From a personal standpoint, it was the right time for me to explore a new opportunity with both the voluntary delisting and the 2022 cost restructuring now complete."

Mr. Bohlin will continue to oversee the financial reporting through the second quarter of 2023 while the executive search proceeds. The Company will update the market on the search upon its completion.
