EV Technology Group Commences Trading on the OTCQB Market, Offering US Investors Greater Access to the Strategy of Electrifying Iconic Brands

EV TECHNOLOGY GROUP OTCQB: EVTGF

EV TECHNOLOGY GROUP COMMENCES TRADING ON THE OTCQB MARKET, OFFERING US INVESTORS GREATER ACCESS TO THE STRATEGY OF ELECTRIFYING ICONIC BRANDS

TORONTO, July 11, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — EV Technology Group Ltd. (“EV Technology Group” or the “Company”) (NEO: EVTG, DE: B96A, OTCQB: EVTGF), announces that it has qualified for trading on the OTCQB Venture Market in the United States operated by the OTC Markets Group Inc. and the Company’s common shares (“Shares”) commenced trading on the OTCQB under the symbol “EVTGF.” The Shares are also eligible for electronic clearing and settlement through the Depository Trust Company.

EV Technology Group’s mission is to electrify iconic driving experiences by investing in beloved automotive brands and helping them to transition to the electric era, such as MOKE International Limited (“MIL”). The Shares of EV Technology Group will continue to be listed on both the Canadian NEO Exchange (NEO: EVTG) and the Frankfurt Exchange (DE: B96A).

The listing on the OTCQB exchange will offer United States investors easier access to purchase Shares. The strategy is also consistent with the Company’s broader US growth strategy – following the recent announcement of the opening of an office in California, under the leadership of former Lotus Executive Dan Burge.

As the largest shareholder of MIL, EV Technology Group has been a strategic partner helping to launch the Electric MOKE this summer, with the first production vehicles arriving in the South of France. Manufactured in the UK, the electric vehicles are available via EV Technology Group’s wholly owned French subsidiary – with significant potential for the vehicle brand to expand to the United States.

EV TECHNOLOGY GROUP COMMENCES TRADING ON THE OTCQB MARKET, OFFERING US INVESTORS GREATER ACCESS TO THE STRATEGY OF ELECTRIFYING ICONIC BRANDS

“As EV Technology Group continues to grow, we are seeing very strong demand from investors – who love the strategy of electrifying iconic brands and are seeing the growth of the Electric MOKE. The United States is the world’s largest investment market and we look forward to welcoming many additional shareholders who will have easier access to the opportunities we offer the market,” said Wouter Witvoet, EV Technology Group’s Chief Executive Officer.

“The United States is a key strategic priority for us,” said Dan Burge, EV Technology Group’s Chief Product Officer. “As we see increased global demand for our products like the Electric MOKE and increased EV adoption in the US, it makes sense for us to offer our Shares via the OTCQB.”

U.S. investors can find current financial disclosure and Real-Time Level 2 quotes for the Company on www.otcmarkets.com. The Company’s listing on the NEO Exchange and the trading of its shares on the OTCQB contribute to the genuine North American presence and affords investors preeminent access to trading.

About EV Technology Group

EV Technology Group was founded in 2021 with the mission of accelerating the adoption of electric vehicles and the vision to champion the joy of motoring in an electric world. As passionate investors and operators of EV technology companies, EV Technology Group believes in three things: electric vehicles are the future; EVs will transform the way people live, work, and have fun, and there is an opportunity to accelerate the adoption of this technology — beginning with a focus on technologies that have growth potential through targeting unique, niche, and underserved markets — by electrifying iconic driving experiences.

Monaco Capital of Advanced Yachting Towards a More Sustainable Yachting Future

MONACO, July 11, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Innovation, progress and sustainability: these are the goals of the yachting industry going towards a more responsible future led by initiatives promoted by the Yacht Club de Monaco under the umbrella of Monaco Capital of Advanced Yachting. “Monaco,” underlines Jean-Marc Bolinger MB92 CEO, “can play a significant role in advancing the industry as a whole. It is a very significant hub which has a huge influence on the industry and can make a difference. Now there’s an understanding that yachting needs to change. There’s no doubt that yachting can be a model for the rest of the industry. Yachting has to some extent the time and money to drive change and we believe this is something that needs to be done in any case.”

Among the actions put in place to raise awareness about carbon emissions figures is the SEA Index. This tool, by the Yacht Club de Monaco and Credit Suisse, evaluates the energy intensity of superyachts over 40 meters on a scale from 0 to 5. “Very little data is required: we just need,” says Natalie Quevert, Sea Index head of project, “the gross tonnage, the power of the engines and the generators. With the SEA Index tool superyacht owners get a visual snap-shot of the carbon intensity of their yacht.”

“As part of the yachting industry,” adds Paris Baloumis Oceanco group marketing director, “we want to move away from the reliance on fossil fuels. If you’re really authentic about sustainability you have to look at the whole process. That is why we’re going to participate into the Monaco Smart and Sustainable Marina Rendezvous, an event taking place from 25th to 26th September 2022 bringing bright minds together in conferences and networking to see how yachts and infrastructures can operate also after delivery in a green and sustainable manner.” Supported by the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation and Extended Monaco, the Government’s digital transformation programme, this Monaco Marina Management event brings together key players, investors, marina promotors, manufacturers, innovators, architects and international start-ups selected by Blumorpho. The goal of this unique ecosystem is to pave the way for the new generation of marinas where smart technologies serve environmental protection.

MPR seeks all-party support for National Literacy Movement

If strategic steps to improve the nation’s children’s literacy are not immediately taken, it will be hard for us to compete in the future

Jakarta The National Literacy Movement needs support from all parties to accelerate the improvement of reading interest in Indonesia, People’s Consultative Assembly (MPR) Deputy Speaker Lestari Moerdijat has said.

“If strategic steps to improve the nation’s children’s literacy are not immediately taken, it will be hard for us to compete in the future,” she added in a written statement released here on Monday.

In a survey conducted by the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA), whose results were released by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in 2019, Indonesia had ranked 62nd out of 70 countries, or in the bottom 10 countries with low literacy levels, Moerdijat noted.

According to data from the Language Development Agency of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology, the ministry recently sent more than 2.5 million copies of supporting enrichment books to 41 regions that are included in the 3T regions (frontier, outermost, and remote regions) of four provinces, she said.

The four provinces are Papua, West Papua, Maluku, and North Maluku.

A distant peace: Obstacles to current peace negotiations in Ukraine

President Joko Widodo’s (Jokowi’s) recent peace mission to Kyiv and Moscow to encourage the cessation of hostilities between Ukraine and Russia has come as an unexpected, yet welcome, move.

However, the visit, which has been hailed by many as a great diplomatic move by Indonesia, has also drawn its share of skepticism and criticism, both from domestic and foreign commentators.

More than a week after the conclusion of President Jokowi’s peace mission, the situation in Ukraine has not changed for the better. There have been neither clear signs of Russia halting its attacks against Ukraine, nor do the prospects of peace between the two warring powers seem any closer. Some may say this is proof of the failure of Jokowi’s peace mission, but it will be wise to temper expectations of the visit in the first place. Achieving peace, or at the very least cessation of hostilities between Ukraine and Russia, while very important, is hard at this time. The current war situation in Ukraine is simply not ideal for enticing Russia and Ukraine to sit down at the negotiating table to discuss a peace plan.

Negotiating a peace settlement in a war is a lengthy process, with many challenges for the parties directly involved in the war or a neutral party acting as a mediator. One main obstacle is bringing the warring nations to the negotiating table. There are many factors that can influence warring nations, both the aggressor and the victim, in deciding to come together and negotiate an end to the conflict, chief among them is the level of bargaining leverage each nation holds over the other.

Bargaining leverage, in this case, can be understood as the ability of a warring nation, notably its leaders, to demand more favorable terms in the negotiation process. This leverage comes from the leaders’ ability to impose cost upon their opponent in the next battle should the negotiation fail, relative to the opponent’s ability to do the same to them. If a state cannot impose a significant cost upon its opponent in the next battle, then it must offer its opponent better terms than it would otherwise because the opponent is not deterred from fighting the next battle (Werner, 1998: 328). If this is the case, then leaders can opt to continue fighting and try to achieve more victories on the battlefield in order to gain more leverage over the opponent before they decide to enter negotiations.

The need to gain leverage to achieve a satisfactory negotiation outcome is particularly important for a nation’s leaders as they have to contend with domestic politics and public pressure that can potentially remove them from power. Each time a leader chooses to continue the war instead of settling it in a negotiation, the risk of removal from power by dissatisfied constituents increases. This is because war imposes hardships and suffering upon the population, and the longer it goes on, the more dissatisfied the population can become.
