EVT was founded with a vision of championing the joy of motoring in an electric world. As the planet undergoes an ‘EV revolution’ and becomes more green, we believe some of the ‘joy’ of motoring has been lost along the way in the design and character of early electric vehicle brands that have come to market.
Given this, at EVT our ‘big idea’ is that we can electrify iconic driving experiences, helping iconic, luxury and classic brands go electric. We believe this will help accelerate the EV revolution as drivers who might otherwise be further back on the EV adoption curve can get behind the wheel of beloved brands that we help go electric.
We believe this big idea will create value for our shareholders as we own iconic motoring brands, controlling manufacturing and deriving full value from the total customer experience.

2. The Small Business Act authorizes contracting
officers to specifically limit, or set aside, certain
requirements for competition solely amongst
women‐owned small businesses (WOSBs) or
economically disadvantaged women‐owned small
businesses (EDWOSBs).This is referred to as the
WOSB Program. These procurement mechanisms
are meant to increase Federal contracting
opportunities for WOSBs and to assist agencies in
achieving their women‐owned small business
goals. These procedures are implemented in SBA’s
regulations, which can be found at 13 C.F.R. part
127.

3. Economically Disadvantaged Women‐Owned Small
Business
An Economically Disadvantaged Women‐Owned Small
Business (EDWOSB) is a small business concern that is at least
51 percent directly and unconditionally owned and controlled
by one or more women who are citizens (born or naturalized) of
the United States and who are economically disadvantaged.
The EDWOSB automatically qualifies as a women‐owned small
business eligible for the WOSB Program. A woman is presumed
economically disadvantaged if she has a personal net worth of
less than $750,000, her adjusted gross yearly income averaged
over the three years preceding the certification does not exceed
$350,000, and the fair market value of all her assets (including
her primary residence and the value of the business concern)
does not exceed $6 million.

4. Women‐Owned Small Business
A Women‐Owned Small Business (WOSB) is
a small business concern that is at least 51
percent directly and unconditionally owned
and controlled by one or more women who
are citizens (born or naturalized) of the
United States.
2012 Government Development Center
www.gsaprocessing.com (727)803-6890
6. To qualify as an EDWOSB or WOSB, the 51
percent ownership must be unconditional and
direct. In addition, the management and daily
business operations of the concern must be
controlled by one or more economically
disadvantaged women (for EDWOSBs) or
women (for WOSBs). Control means that both
the long‐term decision making and the
day‐to‐day management and administration of
the business operations must be conducted by
one or more economically disadvantaged
women (for EDWOSBs) or women (for WOSBs).

7. Further, for EDWOSBs, the economically disadvantaged
woman must hold the highest officer position, manage it
on a full‐time basis, and devote full‐time to the business
concern during the normal working hours of the business
concern in the same or similar line of business. For
WOSBs, the woman must hold the highest officer
position, manage it on a full‐time basis, and devote
full‐time to the business concern during the normal
working hours of the business concern in the same or
similar line of business.

8. In addition, the woman who holds the highest
officer position may not engage in outside
employment that prevents her from devoting
sufficient time and attention to the daily affairs of
the concern to control its management and daily
business operations. Although, the woman
manager need not have the technical expertise or
license required, she must nonetheless
demonstrate that she has the ultimate managerial
and supervisory control over those who possess
the required licenses or technical expertise.
