/NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES/

VANCOUVER, BC, Feb. 12, 2021 /CNW/ - Extreme Vehicle Battery Technologies Corp. ("EV Battery Tech" or the "Company") (CSE: ACDC) a leading Battery Technology Company, is pleased to announce that, further to its news release dated January 18, 2021, it has now over-subscribed, its non-brokered private placement for gross proceeds of approximately $3,000,000 (the "Private Placement").

"The interest for this private placement was overwhelming," commented President and CEO Bryson Goodwin.  "The demand from new and existing shareholders led to a significantly oversubscribed Private Placement."

"We did our best to include as many subscriptions as possible, but unfortunately the vast majority of the subscriptions that we received over the originally allotted $2.5M had to be denied, continued Mr. Goodwin.  "We apologize to all interested investors who could not be included and hope to include them into the next placement."

Following approval from the Canadian Securities Exchange, the Company issued 15,602,800 units (each a "Unit") at a price of $0.20 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one common share (a "Common Share") of the Company and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will be exercisable into one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.50 for a period of three years from the issuance date, subject to acceleration, at the Company's discretion, in the event that the Common Shares trade at a price on the Canadian Securities Exchange of greater than $0.75 per Common Share for a period of ten consecutive trading days. All securities issued in connection with the Final Tranche are subject to a four-month-and-one-day hold period under applicable securities laws.

A finder's fee was paid in connection with the Placement to finders at Canaccord Genuity Corp ("Finders") that consisted of fees in the aggregate amount of 602,800 units, representing an aggregate commission of 8% of the Units sold to investors introduced by Finders.

The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Private Placement for product development, research and development, and for general working capital.

"We intend to use the proceeds of this private placement to strengthen our balance sheet and develop our various products that we announced earlier this year" said Mr. Goodwin.

On behalf of the Company,

Bryson Goodwin, Chief Executive Officer.
