Trading under new ticker “MILE” expected to resume March 9, 2020

CHARLESTON, SC and VANCOUVERMarch 4, 2020 /CNW/ – Last Mile Holdings Ltd. (formerly OjO Electric Corp.) (the “Company” or “MILE“) (TSXV: OJO) is pleased to announce that, further to its news releases dated November 19, 2019 and January 20, 2020, it has completed its acquisition (the “Acquisition“) of 100% of the outstanding securities of Gotcha Mobility, LLC (“Gotcha“). In connection with the Acquisition, the Company has changed its name to “Last Mile Holdings Ltd.” Trading in the Company’s limited voting shares under the new name is expected to resume on March 9, 2020 under new trading symbol “MILE” (TSXV: MILE).

The Acquisition is a significant step forward in the Company’s accretive capital deployment and consolidation strategy in the micro-mobility sector. The combined OjO-Gotcha footprint and pipeline provide a substantial near-term growth opportunity and positions MILE as the leading industry consolidator.

“With the acquisition of Gotcha, MILE now has the broadest product profile in the micro-mobility space, featuring a pedal bike, e-bike, standup scooter, seated scooter, and trike,” said Max Smith, CEO of MILE. “Offering multi-modal solutions is key to expanding our network of exclusive contracts.”

Gotcha has been a micro-mobility leader for 10 years, starting with electric rideshare vehicles and pedal bikes, then expanding into e-bikes, e-scooters, and e-trikes. With a focus on university and small to midsize municipalities, Gotcha has secured permits to deploy approximately 20,000 vehicles, 80% of which are exclusive. With 80 combined locations, the Acquisition positions MILE as the third largest micro-mobility company by location in North America, after Lime and Bird. The Acquisition provides a clear path to large-scale deployment of OjO’s custom-engineered seated scooter, while expanding the combined company’s product offerings to include pedal bikes, e-bikes, e-scooters, and e-trikes. The Acquisition and associated financing combine top-tier management teams and give MILE immediate access to existing, fully contracted permits to deploy a total fleet of 16,000 mobility units by year-end 2020 and 27,000 mobility units by year-end 2021.

“MILE will build upon Gotcha’s strategy of creating long-term, exclusive partnerships with universities and mid-size municipalities,” said Sean Flood, founder of Gotcha Mobility. “In these often-overlooked markets, we have experienced great results in terms of both sustainability and profitability. With over 3,000 universities and 700+ mid-size markets in the U.S., this focus will differentiate MILE from the competitors, allow us to scale with lower capital needs, and ultimately deliver better ROI per asset type.”

Acquisition Details

Pursuant to a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement dated January 20, 2020, as amended, the Company acquired all of the outstanding securities of Gotcha from Gotcha Media Holdings, LLC (the “Vendor“) in consideration for the payment of US$6 million in cash, of which US$250,000 was paid on closing of the Acquisition (“Closing“), US$750,000 was paid through the issuance of a deferred promissory note due on the six-month anniversary of Closing, and US$5 million was paid through the issuance of a second deferred promissory note due on the second anniversary of Closing. The Company also issued 11,637,500 limited voting shares to the Vendor, and has agreed to issue US$2.5 million in limited voting shares to the Vendor, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, on the six-month anniversary of Closing, such shares to be issued at a deemed price equal to the five day V-WAP of the Company’s limited voting shares as traded on the TSX Venture Exchange immediately before the date of issuance, subject to a minimum price of C$0.05.

In addition, if the limited voting shares of the Company trade at over C$0.60 in the five trading days following completion of the Acquisition, the exercise price of the warrants will be readjusted to the greater of C$0.60 and the 5-day VWAP, subject to a maximum price of C$0.75. The proceeds from the Financing will be used to close the Acquisition and for general working capital purposes. In connection with the Financing, the Company also issued 880,000 units (on the same terms as the units issued on the Financing) and 880,000 broker warrants to certain finders. The broker warrants are exercisable for a period of three years at C$0.40 per share. The Company also issued 232,750 limited voting shares to Fiore Management & Advisory Corp. as an administration fee in respect of the Acquisition.

All shares and warrants issued pursuant to the Acquisition and the Financing are subject to a four-month hold period, expiring June 29, 2020. As of the closing of the Acquisition and the Financing, the Company has a total of 68,794,732 limited voting shares issued and outstanding. On an as-converted basis, assuming the redemption of all OjO membership units for limited voting shares, and conversion of all multiple voting shares into limited voting shares, the effective capitalization of the Company as of closing consists of 101,478,629 limited voting shares.
