Transaction Overview

As part of the transaction, we are taking several steps to combine our businesses and strengthen our financial position:

Merging Motiv and Workhorse

Motiv will be merged with a newly created subsidiary of Workhorse in exchange for newly issued shares of Workhorse common stock. Following the completion of the transaction, Motiv investors will initially own approximately 62.5% and Workhorse shareholders will maintain an approximate 26.5% ownership stake, subject to certain potential adjustments1.

Providing near-term liquidity to Workhorse and simplifying our capital structure

We have already completed two transactions with entities affiliated with Motiv’s controlling investor, that provided Workhorse $25 million to support our near-term operations and pay down debt.

Obtaining new financing to fuel go forward plans

At closing, the combined company is expected to obtain access to up to $20 million in new financing provided by entities affiliated with Motiv’s controlling investor. After we complete the transaction, the combined company will seek to raise additional financing to fund its go forward strategic execution.

The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2025, subject to Workhorse shareholder approval and other customary closing conditions, including the debt financing commitment.

1 Workhorse’s existing senior secured lender will have shares and rights to receive common stock that represent approximately 11% following the merger, which rights will reduce Workhorse shareholders’ ownership of the combined company on a fully-diluted basis to approximately 26%. All ownership amounts are subject to certain potential adjustments and additional future dilution. Additional information regarding Workhorse’s agreement with its secured lender and select other parties is available in the Company’s SEC filings.
