MONTREAL, Nov. 20,
2024 /CNW/ - The Lion Electric Company (NYSE:
LEV) (TSX: LEV) ("Lion" or the "Company"), a leading manufacturer
of all-electric medium and heavy-duty urban vehicles, announced
today that the staff of NYSE Regulation of the New York Stock
Exchange ("NYSE") has determined to commence proceedings to delist
the Company's warrants with an expiration date of May 6, 2026 — ticker symbol LEV.WS — to purchase
common shares of the Company from the NYSE. Trading in the warrants
was suspended immediately. Trading in the Company's common shares —
ticker symbol LEV — and another series of warrants with an
expiration date of December 15, 2027
– ticker symbol LEV.WS.A – will continue on the NYSE.
NYSE Regulation has determined that the warrants are no longer
suitable for listing based on "abnormally low selling price"
levels, pursuant to Section 802.01D of the NYSE Listed Company
Manual.
The Company is considering whether it will require a review of
this determination by a Committee of the Board of Directors of the
NYSE. The NYSE will apply to the Securities and Exchange Commission
to delist the warrants upon completion of all applicable
procedures, including any appeal by the Company of the NYSE
Regulation staff's decision.
