GreenPower Motor ( (GP) ) has shared an update.

GreenPower Motor has converted related-party term loans into 1,200 Series B convertible preferred shares with a purchase price of $1.14 million and a stated value of $1.2 million, carrying a 9% annual dividend and convertible into common stock at $1.975 per share. The transaction, structured as a related-party deal exempt from formal valuation and minority approval under Canadian securities rules, boosts shareholders’ equity and tightens insider control.

Following the issuance of these preferred shares, long-time insider Fraser Atkinson, through a network of entities and instruments, now holds a position that could rise to 66.1% of GreenPower’s outstanding shares on a partially diluted basis if all options, warrants, debentures and preferred shares are exercised or converted. This heightened potential control underscores governance and concentration-of-ownership dynamics that existing and prospective shareholders will need to weigh alongside the capital-strengthening benefits of the exchange.

The most recent analyst rating on (GP) stock is a Hold with a $1.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on GreenPower Motor stock, see the GP Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on GP Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, GP is a Neutral.

The score is primarily held down by weak financial performance—ongoing large losses, negative operating/free cash flow, and especially negative equity with rising leverage. Valuation is also constrained by a negative P/E and no dividend yield data, while technicals are scored neutral due to missing indicators.
