Key Transaction Terms
Under the terms of the proposed transaction announced today, GreenVision will issue shares of common stock to current securityholders of AHA, which amount includes one million GreenVision shares that will be held in escrow at the closing of the business combination and will be released and issued to the AHA security holders in the event that (i) the closing price of GreenVision’s share of common stock equals or exceeds $12.50 per share for any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period immediately following the closing of the business combination, but prior to the first anniversary of the closing, or (ii) AHA achieves $17,500,000 or more of EBITDA for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020.

Non-Solicitation
This press release does not constitute a solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the proposed transaction. This press release also does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor will there be any sale of securities in any states or jurisdictions in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. No offering of securities will be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or an exemption therefrom.
Non-GAAP Financial Measure and Related Information
This press release includes references to EBITDA, a financial measures that is not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). EBITDA is defined as net income (loss), before interest expense, income tax benefit (expense), depreciation and amortization expense. EBITDA is not a measurement of the Company’s financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes that EBITDA is an important supplemental measure of its operating performance and a basis upon which its management assesses performance rather than cash flow measures. The Company’s management also believes that this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors because it and similar measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties to evaluate its competitors and provide additional information regarding growth rates on a more comparable basis than would be provided without such adjustments.
The Company prepared the information included in this press release based upon available information and assumptions and estimates that it believes are reasonable. The Company cannot assure you that its estimates and assumptions will prove to be accurate. Additionally, to the extent that forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures are provided, they are presented on a non-GAAP basis without reconciliations of such forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation.
