Hybrid Power Solutions Up-Lists to the OTCQB Marketplace

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 16, 2024) - Hybrid Power Solutions Inc. (CSE: HPSS) (OTCQB: HPSIF) (FSE: E092) ("Hybrid" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce that it has successfully upgraded from the OTC Pink Market to the OTCQB Venture Market. The upgrade has been approved by OTC Markets Group and the Company commenced trading on the OTCQB on January 30^th, 2024.

The Company's common shares started trading on the OTCQB under the symbol "HPSIF" as of the opening of the market on January 30^th, 2024. The Company's common shares will continue to trade on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the symbol "HPSS" and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol "E092".

The OTCQB, operated by OTC Markets Group, Inc., is a market designed for developing and entrepreneurial companies in the United States and abroad. To be eligible for trading on the OTCQB, companies must be current in their financial reporting with the Securities and Exchange Commission, pass a minimum bid price test, maintain audited financials through a PCAOB registered firm, and undergo company verification and management certification on an annual basis.

The Company also announces that its common shares are eligible for electronic clearing and settlement in the United States through the Depository Trust Company ("DTC"). DTC eligibility is expected to simplify the process of trading and enhance liquidity of Hybrid's shares in the United States. The Company's shares recently began trading on the OTCQB under the symbol "HPSIF".

The DTC is a subsidiary of the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation, a U.S. company that manages the electronic clearing and settlement of publicly traded companies. Securities that are eligible to be electronically cleared and settled through DTC are considered to be "DTC eligible". This electronic method of clearing securities speeds up the receipt of stock and cash, and thus accelerates the settlement process for investors and brokers, enabling the stock to be traded over a much wider selection of brokerage firms by coming into compliance with their requirements.

Francois Byrne, CEO stated, "Cross-trading onto the OTCQB Venture Market as well as Hybrid's shares being DTC eligible marks the achievement of yet another important milestone that we set out to achieve. We believe trading on the OTCQB, along with DTC eligibility will provide much greater visibility and transparency to investors which will allow for us to reach a wider audience. We greatly appreciate the support we have received from our partners and shareholders as we continue to execute on our business plan."

The Company also announces an arm's length agreement with Outside The Box Capital Inc. ("Outside The Box") (Address: 2202 Green Orchard Place. Oakville, ON I6H 4V4, Canada; email: info@outsidethebox.capital; phone: +289-259-4455) for marketing services of up to six months, which commenced December 13^th, 2023.
