Summary

The Direct Investment Committee (DC) recommends an investment of up to $1,000,000 in a company providing specialized turnkey solutions for fleet managers to transition to zero emission vehicles. The investment is in the form of 24-month Convertible Debenture with a conversion option based on the valuation of next round of financing less a 20 percent discount. This is a bridge financing, ahead of the Company’s planned Series B raise and will support the continued operations of the Company as it expands its geographic presence in Canada and the US. Due diligence demonstrates the investment is strongly aligned with the Toronto Atmospheric Fund’s mandate and Accelerating Electric Vehicle (EV) Uptake focus area. This proposed allocation complies with the Toronto Atmospheric Fund’s investment policy and target portfolio.
