BDO initially identified seven candidates and sent requests for proposals to the chief economic development entities and local authorities in each state who in turn responded with detailed bids. In June, following comprehensive reviews and site visits, the Company narrowed the candidate list to five. In August, the list was further narrowed to three states and in October, the Company named Arizona and Tennessee as the two finalist states. The last few months of the selection process involved rigorous proposal reviews and negotiations to select the most well-suited partner.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The proposed facility in Mesa will support ElectraMeccanica\u2019s strategic plan to meet anticipated demand for their flagship <strong><em>SOLO <\/em><\/strong>EV. When fully operational, the facility is expected to create up to 500 new jobs and will be capable of producing up to 20,000 <strong><em>SOLO<\/em><\/strong><strong>s<\/strong> per year. Altogether it will feature both a light vehicle assembly plant along with a state-of-the-art engineering technical center, including multiple labs to support comprehensive research facilities as well as vehicle chassis, battery pack and power electronics testing workshops. ElectraMeccanica also expects this new facility to generate second order effects that will positively impact the local and state economies. In addition to strong consumer interest in the <strong><em>SOLO<\/em><\/strong> EV, the Company has seen growing interest in commercial fleet and utility applications. Beyond working to address commuting and traffic congestion challenges in the region, the Company intends to work with local municipalities to initiate a future pilot <strong><em>SOLO<\/em><\/strong> share ecosystem in the Mesa and the greater Phoenix region. Plans for this program will be forthcoming.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\u201cI want to thank Governor Ducey, his team, the state of Arizona and everyone who\u2019s been involved in this process for helping to bring ElectraMeccanica\u2019s U.S. operations to life,\u201d said Company CEO Paul Rivera. \u201cThis decision is monumental for our business and will be transformative for our host city and state. When fully operational, we anticipate creating hundreds of new jobs for the local economy. We believe Mesa\u2019s population size and density provides a great talent pool as we look forward to contributing to the growing high-tech environment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">&#8220;Arizona is thrilled to be selected as the home of ElectraMeccanica&#8217;s first U.S.-based assembly facility and engineering technical center,&#8221; said Governor Doug Ducey. &#8220;Arizona has fast become the electric vehicle center of America thanks to our robust and growing workforce, vibrant innovation ecosystem, and ideal business environment. My thanks to ElectraMeccanica, the Arizona Commerce Authority, the City of Mesa and all involved in bringing this exciting project to Arizona.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">&#8220;We couldn&#8217;t be more excited to welcome ElectraMeccanica to Arizona as the latest electric vehicle innovator to choose our state,&#8221; said Sandra Watson, President and CEO of the Arizona Commerce Authority. \u201cNo other state in the country provides a better environment for ElectraMeccanica to scale its leading-edge technology, and we look forward to continuing to be a partner in the company\u2019s long-term success.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Tom Stringer, Leader for the National Site Selection &amp; Business Incentives Practice, BDO USA, added, &#8220;This has been an extraordinary economic development project that proves Arizona&#8217;s strategic high-tech investments are bringing jobs and major capital investments from cutting-edge companies that directly benefit Arizona taxpayers. This project will mean so much to the EV and shared mobility community, and we look forward to announcing more details at a later date. For now we wish to especially thank the Arizona Commerce Authority&#8217;s Sandra Watson, Brad Smidt of the Greater Phoenix Economic Council, the City of Mesa&#8217;s Lori Collins, Kevin Cosca at CBRE, the Reef Group\u2019s Blake Garrett and Marwest Enterprises&#8217; David Martens for their help bringing all the pieces together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSoutheast Mesa is growing, and we\u2019re excited to welcome dynamic and innovative businesses like ElectraMeccanica,\u201d said Mesa Mayor John Giles. \u201cI\u2019m looking forward to watching their state-of-the-art facility take shape.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\u201cElectraMeccanica\u2019s decision to make a significant foreign direct investment and anchor its North American operation in Greater Phoenix showcases the region\u2019s ability to meet the needs of the high-tech industry,\u201d said Chris Camacho, President &amp; CEO of the Greater Phoenix Economic Council.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The <strong><em>SOLO<\/em><\/strong> is a purpose-built, three-wheeled, all-electric solution for the urban environment.
