Dr. Richard Lu , President and CEO of SolarBank, commented, "This Nasdaq listing is a major validation of SolarBank as a company and its recent performance. Nasdaq Global Market has very high standards that SolarBank has achieved. As SolarBank's operations are primarily focused in the
United States , it makes sense for SolarBank to trade in the U.S. as an SEC registered company, and we believe this move will enhance our visibility in the marketplace, expose our company to a larger audience of investors and ultimately increase liquidity and shareholder value."

The SEC must declare this Registration Statement effective prior to anticipated trading date, and the Company expects this to occur in the next one or two days.
