FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Oct. 05, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LMP Automotive Holdings, Inc. (“LMP” or the “Company”), an e-commerce and facilities-based automotive retailer in the United States, today announced the buyer terminated the  dealership and real estate asset sale agreements (the “Agreements”) to buy LMP’s Kia dealerships in Port Charlotte, FL, Cape Coral, FL and Beckley, WV, its Subaru dealership in Beckley, WW, its Chevrolet dealership in Beckley, WV and its General Motors dealership in Beckley, WV (the “Terminated Dealerships”).

The Company will re-market the Terminated Dealerships and will pursue entering into new sale agreements in connection with the Terminated Dealerships within the next few months. Additionally, the Company is pleased to announce that its Florida dealerships did not suffer material damages during Hurricane Ian in late September and are fully operational.

The Company further announced that it is continuing to move forward with the Plan of Liquidation allowing the Company to sell all of the Company’s assets, distribute the net proceeds to stockholders and dissolve the Company.
