Except for the statements of historical fact contained herein,
the information presented in this news release and oral statements
made from time to time by representatives of ElectraMeccanica or
Tevva are or may constitute “forward-looking statements” as such
term is used in applicable United States and Canadian laws and
including, without limitation, within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, for which the parties
claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking
statements. These statements relate to analyses and other
information that are based on forecasts of future results,
estimates of amounts not yet determinable and assumptions of
management. Any other statements that express or involve
discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs,
plans, projections, objectives, assumptions or future events or
performance (often, but not always, using words or phrases such as
“expects” or “does not expect,” “is expected,” “anticipates” or
“does not anticipate,” “plans,” “estimates” or “intends,” or
stating that certain actions, events or results “may,” “could,”
“would,” “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved) are not
statements of historical fact and should be viewed as
forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, but
are not limited to, statements concerning the parties’ intentions
and expectations relating to the settlement agreement, the parties’
belief that they are best served by moving forward as independent
companies with their respective business models, and
ElectraMeccanica’s belief that it remains well-capitalized and

uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results,
performance or achievements of ElectraMeccanica or Tevva to be
materially different from any future results, performance or
achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements. Such risks and other factors include, among others,
ElectraMeccanica’s ability to identify, negotiate, and conclude
strategic transactions that increase shareholder value, and other
risks of the automotive industry including, without limitation,
those associated with the environment, delays in obtaining
governmental approvals, permits or financing or in the completion
of development or construction activities or claims limitations on
insurance coverage. Although ElectraMeccanica and Tevva have
attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual
actions, events or results to differ materially from those

estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that such
statements will prove to be accurate as actual results and future
events could differ materially from those anticipated in such
statements. Although ElectraMeccanica and Tevva believe that the
expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based
upon reasonable assumptions, they can give no assurance that their
expectations will be achieved. Forward-looking information is
subject to certain risks, trends and uncertainties that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those projected. Many of
these factors are beyond ElectraMeccanica’s and Tevva’s ability to
control or predict. Other important factors that may cause actual
results to differ materially and that could impact ElectraMeccanica
and the statements contained in this news release can be found in
