MONTREAL – Electric vehicle maker Lion Electric Co. has raised about US$142 million to help fund its growth including expansion projects in Mirabel, Que., and Joliet, Ill.
The company says the financings include the issuance of US$74 million in senior unsecured convertible debentures to a group of subscribers including Investissement Québec, Fonds de solidarité des travailleurs du Québec and Fondaction.
Lion Electric is also issuing C$90 million in senior secured non-convertible debentures to a group of subscribers led by Mach Group and the Mirella and Lino Saputo Foundation as well as 22.5 million common share purchase warrants with an exercise price of C$2.81 per share.
Shares in the company closed up 20 cents, or more than seven per cent, at C$2.98 Monday on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
Lion Electric designs and builds all-electric trucks, buses and minibuses.
