Forza X1 Announces Stock Repurchase Program

 

FORT PIERCE, FL / ACCESSWIRE / January 17, 2023Forza X1, Inc. (Nasdaq: FRZA) (“Forza”, the “Company”), a new developer of electric sport boats with a mission to inspire the adoption of sustainable recreational boating, today announced that its Board of Directors has approved a stock repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to $1,000,000 worth of shares of Forza X1, Inc. stock.

 

Joseph Visconti, Executive Chairman and Chief of Product Development of Forza X1, Inc., stated, “The Board of Directors understands that microcap stocks are facing challenges on multiple fronts. Historically, when the economy falters, there is a natural flight to quality and income. Forza X1, Inc., and its parent company Twin Vee PowerCats Co., are early-stage companies and viewed as microcap stocks with limited liquidity for large institutional investors. Although Forza has a strong balance sheet, we believe the Company might still be considered on the speculative side in terms of institutional support and investors. The stock market, along with year-end selling has created a possible opportunity for us. We successfully sold our shares to investors at $5.00 during our initial public offering and our stock has traded as high as $8.25 on August 16, 2022. At times stocks are over sold and investors run from growth. We have now put a mechanism in place that will allow us to maximize our balance sheet by potentially buying back up to $1,000,000 worth of shares of Forza X1, Inc. stock. These prices will be an extreme, but our Board wants to be ready in case the economy worsens, or our shareholders decide to sell for any reason.”

 

Under the stock repurchase program, the Company may purchase shares of the Company’s common stock from time to time in the open market at prevailing market prices, in privately negotiated transactions or other means in compliance with applicable federal securities laws. The timing and amount of stock repurchases under the program, if any, will be at the discretion of management, and will depend on a variety of factors, including price, available cash, general business and market conditions and other investment opportunities. Information regarding share repurchases will be available in the Company’s periodic reports on Form 10-Q and 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission or as otherwise required by applicable federal securities laws. The Company had approximately 10,450,000 million shares outstanding as of November 7, 2022.
