Ben Rainwater to Join Board of Directors of Green Automotive

Highly Sought-After Industry Expert Re-Joins the Company’s Board

Green Automotive Company Corporation (OTC:GACR) announced today that Mr. Ben Rainwater has agreed to re-join the Company’s Board of Directors, and take the helm of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, GAC Automotive Services Inc.

“It’s great to have Ben back on the Board," said Fred Luke, President Green Automotive. “Even after stepping off in January during the Company’s re-structuring, as our Chief Automotive Consultant for the past nine months he has continued to lead us, from vehicle homologation to long-term corporate planning.”

“Ben is a recognized industry expert, with a long, impeccable and envious successful history in building U.S. automotive import and distribution companies from the ground up’, said Mr. Luke. “Beginning with Mitsubishi Motor Sales of America where he was recruited to bring the Mitsubishi brand and vehicle line-up to the U.S., designing and implementing the brand introduction and promotion, and the U.S. support network, Ben has been at the forefront of the launch and development of foreign-made vehicles in the U.S. Daihatsu America, Inc., watching him build Mitsubishi’s U.S organization, recruited him to be part of their team that introduced the Daihatsu brand and vehicle line-up to the U.S. market. Following Ben’s successful ground-up development of Daihatsu’s U.S. operations, Ben was recruited by Kia Motors America, Inc., where he assisted in the hugely successful introduction of their brand and vehicle lineup to the American market. Most recently, Ben served as Vice President, National Parts & Service Division, Director for Daewoo Motor America, Inc. where, once again, he was successful in bringing the Daewoo brand and vehicle line-up to the U.S. market. Ben’s employment with Daewoo led to him becoming President & CEO of StartPoint USA, the company created to support 185,000+ Daewoo vehicles and more than 300 Daewoo retail dealers with Daewoo Parts and Warranty Administration and, in the roll-out period of about 30 months sold almost 200,000 Daewoo vehicles.”
