Electrameccanica Engages Leading International Law Firm, K&L Gates, to Address Anonymous Seeking Alpha Author Allegations

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 16, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Electrameccanica Vehicles Corp. (NASDAQ: SOLO) ("Electrameccanica" or the "Company"), a designer and manufacturer of electric vehicles, today responded to an article written by an anonymous author and published via online blog Seeking Alpha (as dated November 14, 2018).

While Electrameccanica respects the online publications right to host a blog, as well as to publish content with anonymous bylines, the Company reaffirms its commitment to both transparency and accuracy of information, to a competent and reliable shareholder communication and outreach program, and to the adherence of the highest standards of corporate governance. Electrameccanica would caution investors that the allegations made by the anonymous author and published by the online blog contained numerous factual inaccuracies, and that the Company has concurrently engaged leading international law firm K&L Gates to address such inaccuracies.

Electrameccanica welcomes an open dialogue with any and all shareholders. Given the potential that the Company will seek legal action against those involved in publishing false claims, Electrameccanica will not be providing additional commentary on the matter until it has reached resolution.
