Dear Fellow Shareholders,

As we move into 2025, we reaffirm our commitment to executing on our strategy and building on the progress achieved in 2024. We remain confident in the strength of our blue-chip OEM partnerships, particularly those enhanced by our merger with SEA Electric in 2024.

Operations Update

Throughout 2024, we overcame numerous operational challenges, focused on delivering our leading technology for key customers, and improved operational efficiency. As we enter 2025, we remain dedicated to accelerating innovation and driving organizational improvements, all with the goal of achieving profitability. Most importantly, we are committed to enhancing our balance sheet.

Our commercial vehicle OEM programs have seen continued progress, with ongoing successful Coil Driver™ pilot programs. These collaborations with leading OEM partners have positioned us for growth in the commercial industrial truck segment. Notably, we have secured an additional paid pilot program for the Coil Driver™ drivetrain with a top OEM. The program has launched, and subject to successful on-road testing we aim to secure production for 2026. Please stay tuned to our social media channels for additional information on the program and other operational progress updates.

In the passenger vehicle sector, development with key OEM partners Stellantis and others under NDA are advancing, which we believe will position us for future expansion in the consumer markets for both battery-electric and hybrid applications. We continue to develop this sector to set a strong foundation for future success.

Additionally, we are gaining traction in the energy storage sector, with projects set to deliver in 2025. An update on our Cellex Energy division will be shared at our earnings call in March, as we continue to build momentum in this area.

Corporate Update

Exro continues to transform and establish the foundation for a profitable future with patented IP underpinning all of our key technology. As we evolve, we are right-sizing our business and creating the organization design to build our future.

Tony Fairweather, the founder of SEA Electric, has resigned from the Exro board.   Mr. Fairweather was a founder of SEA Electric, and joined the Exro board on completion of the SEA Electric acquisition in April 2024.  We thank Tony for his contributions to Exro.

We recognize that financial stability is on everyone's mind. We are confident in the strength and continued support of our major shareholders and customer partnerships as we work on funding solutions, and we look forward to updating our shareholders prior to end of Q1.
