GreenPower Closes First Tranche of Term Loan Offering
In connection with the Loan, the Company entered into respective loan agreements with companies controlled by the CEO and a Director of the Company (the " Initial Lenders"). Management anticipates that the Company will allocate the net proceeds from the Initial Loan towards production costs, supplier payments, payroll and working capital.
The Initial Loan is secured with a general security agreement on the assets of the Company subordinated to all senior debt with financial and other institutions and will bear interest of 12% per annum commencing on the date of advance (the " Advance Date") to and including the date all of the Company's indebtedness pursuant to the Initial Loan is paid in full. The term of the Initial Loan will be two years from the Advance Date.
As an inducement for the Loan, the Company issued 1,086,956 non-transferable share purchase warrants (each, a " Loan Bonus Warrant") to each Initial Lender. Each Loan Bonus Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share of the Company (each, a " Share") at an exercise price of U.S. $0.46 per Share for a period of twenty-four (24) months from the closing date of the Initial Loan.
The Initial Lenders are each considered to be a "related party" within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (" MI 61-101") and the Initial Loan and issuance of Loan Bonus Warrants is considered to be a "related party transaction" within the meaning of MI 61-101 but each is exempt from the formal valuation requirement and minority approval requirements of MI 61-101 by virtue of the exemptions contained in section 5.5(a) and 5.7(a) as the fair market value of the Initial Loan and Loan Bonus Warrants is not more than 25% of the Company's market capitalization.
All securities issued in connection with the Initial Loan will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months plus a day from the closing of the Initial Loan in accordance with applicable securities legislation.

Deadline Approaching: Lineage, Inc. (LINE) Investors Who Lost Money Urged To Contact Law Offices of Howard G. Smith
Law Offices of Howard G. Smith reminds investors of the upcoming September 30, 2025 deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in the case filed on behalf of investors who purchased Lineage, Inc. ('Lineage' or the 'Company') (NASDAQ: LINE) common stock pursuant and/or traceable to the registration statement used in connection with the Company's July 2024 initial public offering (the 'IPO'). IF YOU ARE AN INVESTOR WHO SUFFERED A LOSS IN LINEAGE, INC. (LINE), CONTACT THE LAW OFFICES OF HOWARD G. SMITH TO PARTICIPATE IN THE ONGOING SECURITIES FRAUD LAWSUIT. Contact the Law Offices of Howard G. Smith to discuss your legal rights by email at howardsmith@ by telephone at (215) 638-4847 or visit our website at What Happened? In July 2024, Lineage conducted its IPO, selling over 65 million shares of common stock at $78 per share. On November 6, 2024, Lineage released its third quarter 2024 financial results, revealing that it had suffered a $543 million net loss during the quarter. On this news, Lineage's stock price fell $5.22, or 7.4%, to close at $65.79 per share on November 6, 2024, thereby injuring investors. Then, on January 14, 2025, The Wall Street Journal reported that Lineage was laying off employees due to reduced customer demand only six months after its IPO. Then, on April 7, 2025, Lineage announced the dismissal of its auditor, KPMG LLP. On this news, Lineage's stock price fell $5.29, or 9.9%, over two consecutive trading days, to close at $48.41 per share on April 8, 2025. Then, on April 30, 2025, Lineage reported first quarter 2025 financial results, including that '[t]otal revenue decreased (2.7)%' to $1.29 billion for the quarter. The Company stated it 'experienced more normal seasonal trends in the first quarter after multiple years of elevated inventory levels.' On this news, Lineage's stock price fell $8.16, or 14.62%, to close at $47.65 per share on April 30, 2025, thereby injuring investors further. On June 3, 2025, the Company stated at an Investor Conference that there has been 'pretty much flat demand' for Lineage's products and services and that the Company was operating in a 'flattish environment' in terms of demand. The price of Lineage stock has remained substantially below the IPO price at the time of this complaint's filing. What Is The Lawsuit About? The complaint filed in this class action alleges that the Registration Statement made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors: (1) that Lineage was then experiencing sustained weakening in customer demand, as additional cold-storage supply had come on line, the Company's customers destocked a glut of excessive inventory built up during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Company's customers shifted to maintaining leaner cold-storage inventories on a go-forward basis in response to changed consumer trends; (2) that Lineage had implemented price increases in the lead-up to the IPO that could not be sustained in light of the weakening demand environment facing the Company; (3) that Lineage was unable to effectively counteract the adverse trends listed in the foregoing through the use of minimum storage guarantees or as a result of operational efficiencies, technological improvements, or its purported competitive advantages; (4) that, as a result of the foregoing, rather than enjoying stable revenue growth, high occupancy rates, and steady rent escalation as represented in the Registration Statement, Lineage was in fact suffering from stagnant or falling revenue, occupancy rates, and rent prices; and (5) as a result, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times. If you purchased or otherwise acquired Lineage common stock pursuant and/or traceable to the IPO, you may move the Court no later than September 30, 2025 to ask the Court to appoint you as lead plaintiff if you meet certain legal requirements.

Argenta Silver Announces Closing of Bought Deal Private Placement for Gross Proceeds of C$15 Million
TSX-V:AGAG VANCOUVER, BC, Aug. 12, 2025 /CNW/ - Argenta Silver Corp. (TSXV: AGAG) (FSE: T1K) (" Argenta" or the " Company") is pleased to announce the closing of its previously announced "bought deal" private placement (the " Offering") for gross proceeds of C$15,000,000, which includes the exercise in full of the over-allotment option. Pursuant to the Offering, the Company sold 37,500,000 units of the Company (each, a " Unit") at a price of C$0.40 per Unit (the " Offering Price"). Red Cloud Securities Inc. (" Red Cloud") acted as sole underwriter and bookrunner under the Offering. Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company (each, a " Common Share") and one-half of one transferable common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a " Warrant"). Each whole Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Common Share (each, a " Warrant Share") at a price of C$0.60 at any time on or before August 12, 2028. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for the exploration and advancement of the Company's 100% owned El Quevar Project in Salta Province, Argentina as well as for working capital and general corporate purposes. As consideration for their services under the Offering, Red Cloud received aggregate cash fees of C$801,180 and 2,002,950 non-transferable common share purchase warrants (the " Broker Warrants"). Each Broker Warrant is exercisable into one Common Share at the Offering Price at any time on or before August 12, 2028. The closing of the Offering remains subject to the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the " TSX-V"). The securities issued pursuant to the Offering are subject to a hold period in accordance with applicable Canadian securities law, expiring four months and one day following the issue date, being December 13, 2025. Early Warning The Company further announces that Mr. Frank Giustra acquired ownership of 450,000 Units of the Company pursuant to the Offering, representing 450,000 Common Shares and 225,000 Warrants. As reported in the last early warning report filed on January 29, 2025, Mr. Giustra had indirect ownership and/or control over an aggregate of 25,540,000 Common Shares and 3,425,000 common share purchase warrants of the Company, representing 15.09% of the outstanding Common Shares and 16.78% on a partially diluted basis, assuming the exercise of 3,425,000 warrants. Mr. Giustra now has indirect ownership and/or control over an aggregate of 27,490,000 Common Shares and 3,650,000 common share purchase warrants of the Company, representing, as a result of the dilution from the Offering and various exercises of convertible securities, a decrease to 11.34% of the outstanding Common Shares and 12.66% on a partially diluted basis, assuming the exercise of 3,650,000 warrants. Mr. Giustra acquired the above-mentioned securities for investment purposes, and may in the future acquire or dispose of securities of the Company, through the market, privately or otherwise, as circumstances or market conditions warrant. A copy of the Early Warning Report filed by Mr. Giustra may be obtained from the Company's SEDAR profile. Certain insiders of the Company subscribed for a total of 666,000 Units which constitutes a "related party transaction" for the purposes of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (" MI 61-101"). The Company is exempt from the requirements to obtain a formal valuation or minority shareholder approval in reliance on sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, as neither the fair market value of the securities issued to the Insiders nor the fair market value of the consideration for the securities issued to the Insiders exceeds 25% of the Company's market capitalization as calculated in accordance with MI 61-101. The Company did not file a material change report containing all of the disclosure required by MI 61-101 more than 21 days before the expected closing date of the offerings as the aforementioned insider participation had not been confirmed at that time and the Company wished to close the offerings as expeditiously as possible. About the El Quevar Project The El Quevar Project is located in Salta, Argentina and spans an area of 57,000 hectares. The property remains underexplored with less than 3% of the area covered with comprehensive exploration work. The property boasts exceptional infrastructure with over 60 km of internal roads, a fully owned, fully operational camp for 100 workers with multiple support buildings, and a railroad, gas pipeline and service road just 3 km from camp, while a high–voltage transmission line lies approximately 20 km from the exploration area. The robust infrastructure associated with the project provides a cost-effective platform to de–risk and accelerate future drilling and development. The foundational Mineral Resource Estimate of the Yaxtché deposit boasts an indicated mineral resource of 45.3 million ounces of silver from 2.93 million tonnes grading 482 g/t Ag, and an inferred resource of 4.1 million ounces from 0.31 million tonnes grading 417 g/t Ag (1). The mineral resource area remains open at depth and in multiple directions, particularly to the southeast and northwest. One of the objectives of the ongoing 2025 Winter Drilling Program is to specifically target and expand these high-grade Yaxtché zones. The mineralization at the Yaxtché deposit is defined as a silver rich, high to intermediate-sulphidation epithermal system with associated gold. Mineralization is controlled by NW-SE and NE-SW fault structures and is mainly hosted in brecciated zones and dacite domes. Silver minerals at Yaxtché consist of complex silver sulphides, sulphosalts and native silver. These minerals are found within silicified breccias, commonly appearing as veinlets, stockworks, disseminations, and breccia fillings.
