Donald, British Columbia

Donald, British Columbia, August 20, 2025 - Edison Motors Ltd. (“Edison” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it is opening the next phase of its non-brokered private placement financing, which was first announced on October 18, 2024 (the “Offering”). This next tranche is being conducted under an Offering Memorandum for non-qualifying issuers (“OM”) in the form prescribed by Form 45-106F2.

The Offering has most recently only been open to accredited investors in Canada, and to qualified accredited investors in the United States and internationally. The OM phase of the Offering expands access by enabling non-accredited investors in Canada to participate in the Offering on substantially the same financial terms. The OM phase of the Offering will be facilitated through the online investment platform operated by FrontFundr Financial Services Inc. (“FrontFundr”).

The OM phase of the Offering will consist of up to 363,637 common shares of the Company (“Common Shares”) issued at a price of $55 CAD per Common Share for gross proceeds of up to $20 million CAD (the “Offering”).

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering to (i) construct the necessary production facilities in Golden B.C. in order to build and commission additional vehicles, including prototypes and eventual commercial orders, and (ii) increase its general working capital. The Company’s objective is to bring Class 8, Heavy Duty, Speciality Service Vehicles and Commercial Vehicles Conversion kits into production in 2026 using Electric, Hybrid Electric & Diesel propulsion. The Company is currently working on its property facilities which includes a 30,000sqft production facility and off-road test track. Further details regarding the proposed use of proceeds and the Company’s business objectives are set out in the OM, available on the Company’s dedicated offering page at: www.frontfundr.com/edisonmotors.

Compensation will be paid in respect of the Offering to FrontFundr in its capacity as selling agent, as more particularly described in the OM. No other commissions or agent fees are expected to be paid as part of the Offering.

The OM phase of the Offering is only open to Canadian investors, who need not be accredited investors. The Company may open additional investment opportunities under the Offering for Canadian investors who qualify as eligible or accredited investors under National Instrument 45-106, accredited investors in the United States pursuant to Rule 506(c) and Regulation D under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and investors in other international jurisdictions in accordance with applicable local laws. The Company will provide an update should the scope of the Offering be expanded.

The Company is not a reporting issuer in any province or territory in Canada and its securities are not listed on any stock exchange in Canada and there is currently no public market for its securities to be resold. As such, the common shares will be subject to a hold period pursuant to applicable statutory exemptions, until the date that is four months and one day, after the date the Company becomes a Reporting Issuer in any province or territory of Canada (subject to any control person distribution restrictions) in accordance with National Instrument 45-102 – Resale of Securities.
