Exro Technologies Inc. Learns of Threatened Lawsuit Filed in the Court of the King's Bench, Alberta Exro Technologies Inc. has learned of a threatened class action lawsuit in respect of which a statement of claim has been filed in the Court of the King's Bench, Alberta. Exro has not yet been served with the statement of claim but anticipates this will happen shortly. The claim is a proposed securities class action on behalf of the investors who purchased the securities of Exro in the secondary market or the primary market between January 30 and November 13, 2024 (the "Class Members"). Exro, its CEO and the chair of Exro's board of directors are among other defendants named in the statement of claim. The plaintiff says that the action arises out of the merger transaction between Exro Technologies and SEA Electric which closed on April 5, 2024, and alleges that the Class Member incurred damages or losses on their investments in Exro securities as a result of misrepresentations contained in a material change report filed by Exro on January 30, 2024. The plaintiff seeks certification of the action as a class action and his appointment as a class representative, a declaration that the January 30, 2024, contains misrepresentations, and a variety of remedies including an award of damages to the Class Members. Exro disputes the allegations contained in the statement of claim, and intends to defend the claim vigorously. Announcement • Nov 06

New minor risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$100m. Market cap: €74.2m (US$81.6m) This is considered a minor risk. Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-CA$61m free cash flow). Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (16% average weekly change). Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (108% increase in shares outstanding). Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable next year (CA$55m net loss next year). Market cap is less than US$100m (€74.2m market cap, or US$81.6m). Announcement • Aug 14
Exro Advances Medium Duty Battery Electric Powertrain Integration with Coil Driver™ Project Exro Technologies Inc. announced progression in its integration project of Exro's Coil Driver™ inverter technology with Exro's proprietary EV propulsion system that powers SEA 5e, a Class 5 Battery Electric Truck that is built on Hino's Class 5 Rolling Cab Chassis. The pilot project is a key step towards commercialization and enables a cost-effective powertrain that supports the mission to reduce costs in commercial electric vehicles, bringing electric vehicles to parity with combustion engines. Exro's 120a propulsion system, controlled by the Coil Driver inverter, can increase system efficiency and reduce costs. By optimizing the performance of powertrains with right-sized, differentiating technology, the result is real-world driving with unparalleled efficiency. The integration offers flexibility in packaging, allowing multiple truck bed configurations from the existing 173" platform currently in production to a 150" wheelbase in demand by large national fleets under development for release to customers by First Quarter 2025. The transportation sector targets significant emission reduction targets. The goals behind the project align with the regulatory landscape shaped by the Advanced Clean Truck ("ACT") and Advanced Clean Fleet ("?") standards. These regulations, adopted in California and several other states, mandate a gradual increase in zero-emission vehicles ("ZEVs") in commercial fleets starting from 2024. By incorporating Coil Drive inverter technology, Exro is contributing to the broader adoption of ZEVs. This collaboration supports compliance with the ACT and ACF regulations and promotes emissions reduction from the commercial transportation sector. The enhanced efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the Coil Driver-enabled propulsion system make electric trucks a viable option for fleet operators, accelerating the transition to cleaner transportation solutions.

New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 130% This is considered a major risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (12% average weekly change). Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 0.5% per year for the foreseeable future. Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (130% increase in shares outstanding).

Exro Technologies Inc. Files Two New U.S. Provisional Patent Applications Exro Technologies Inc. announced a corporate update regarding two new patent applications strengthening its intellectual property ("IP") position. In addition to prioritizing delivery of the Company's motor and battery control products, Exro has been diligently working on advancing several new technologies, which includes two new U.S. provisional patent applications on an electric vehicle powertrain architecture. The Company's first U.S. provisional application builds on the Company's Coil Driver and Cell Driver™ foundation by combining its two advanced power electronics capabilities (motor and battery control) with predictive control algorithms to deliver significant benefits to EV propulsion. This includes up to 2x increase in battery cell life, seamless integration of fuel cells without requiring additional DC-DC conversion, high level of fault tolerance, as well as the benefits that Coil Driver™ and Cell Driver™ bring individually, including range and system performance increase. While there is growing market demand for hydrogen fuel cell applications, adoption is limited by overall costs; the patent presents a solution to reduce costs and increase performance in these applications. Exro's second U.S. provisional application is directed to a harmonic motor controller or current source. Today, what is considered state-of-the-art motor control is field-oriented control ("FOC"). FOC measures a motor current and calculates the right voltage to apply to the machine to control current and torque. Though a strong concept, it presents key limitations in addressing real-world motor control challenges, particularly motor harmonics. In contrast, Exro's technology replaces the calculation of the switch states performed by FOC with a proprietary algorithm to greatly simplify motor control. As a result, the technology demonstrates high fault tolerance, responds dynamically to load or line changes, and ultimately improves harmonics across a wide variety of applications. This AC controller technology presents broad applicability to any scenario where DC-to-AC conversion is required. While Exro will continue to use trade secrets to protect proprietary software and algorithms, it will look to bolster software-related patent filings in the coming quarters. Announcement • Jun 10

Exro Refutes Unsubstantiated Claims of Patent Infringement, Files Petition for Review of Epropelled Patent Exro Technologies Inc. is issuing this statement in response to the lawsuit filed by ePropelled against the Company on January 21, 2022. Exro has filed a petition with the United States Patent and Trademark Office for inter partes review ("IPR") of U.S. Patent No. 7,382,103 ("the '103 patent"), assigned to patent owner ePropelled Inc. An inter partes review is used to challenge the patentability of claims in a U.S. patent on the basis of prior art, which is evidence that an invention was already known prior to filing for patent protection. The filing follows an in-depth analysis by an independent expert in motors, and concludes that ePropelled's '103 patent, which Exro is alleged to have infringed is itself invalid. The independent analysis was conducted by a professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and Mechanical Engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) who is an expert in the field of power electronics. The expert holds Bachelor of Science, Master of Science, Master of Science in Electrical Engineering, and Doctor of Philosophy degrees from MIT, where he has taught since 1993. His work has been published extensively in scholarly journals. The expert has also received numerous awards and accolades for his research and teaching and is the holder of more than 20 patents for energy conversion controls and power systems. The results of this independent review are included in Exro's filed IPR IPR2022-01154. Based on the results of the independent review, Exro asserts that, unlike the patents held by Exro, there are numerous prior art references that demonstrate ePropelled's '103 patent is invalid. The cancellation of the '103 patent would render ePropelled's infringement claims moot.

Exro Technologies Inc. Unveils New Application for Coil Driver Technology to Reduce the Cost and Complexity of Deploying Electric Vehicle Infrastructure At Scale Exro Technologies Inc. announced a new application for its patented Coil Driver technology that has the potential to dramatically reduce the cost and complexity associated with deploying electric vehicle ("EV") infrastructure at scale. The Coil Driver technology can be used to deliver Level 1 to Level 4 charging capabilities, and provide electricity back to the grid, with significantly less power electronics. This includes charging capabilities from renewable energy sources like solar and wind power. The Company filed a new family of patents that covers this additional functionality for the Coil Driver™, further strengthening its cost positioning and demonstrating its continued commitment to driving bold innovative solutions in EV power electronics. The recent patent filing raises Exro's combined held and submitted patent portfolio to 36 and comes on the heels of Exro's graduation to the Toronto Stock Exchange. Currently, EVs require three different types of power electronics components to power the vehicles in motion and charge the batteries from the grid or renewable energy sources: a motor drive, on-board charger and external DC fast charger. Exro engineers found that the Coil Driver™ technology has the ability to replace all three components, significantly reducing the cost and complexity of deploying EVs and the charging infrastructure at scale.
