communication contains &ldquo;forward-looking statements&rdquo; within the meaning of Section 21E of the Exchange Act, and the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. All statements other than statements of historical fact included or incorporated
by reference in this communication, including, among other things, statements regarding the proposed merger transaction between Workhorse

transaction, the anticipated impact of the proposed transaction on the combined company&rsquo;s business and future financial and operating
results, the expected amount and timing of synergies from the proposed transaction, the anticipated closing date for the proposed transaction
and other aspects of the combined company&rsquo;s operations or operating results are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements
may be identified by the use of the words &ldquo;believe&rdquo;, &ldquo;plan&rdquo;, &ldquo;expect&rdquo;, &ldquo;estimate&rdquo;, &ldquo;budget&rdquo;,
&ldquo;schedule&rdquo;, &ldquo;forecast&rdquo;, &ldquo;intend&rdquo;, &ldquo;anticipate&rdquo;, &ldquo;target&rdquo;, &ldquo;project&rdquo;,

&ldquo;should&rdquo;, &ldquo;might&rdquo;, &ldquo;will&rdquo; or &ldquo;will be taken&rdquo;, &ldquo;occur&rdquo; or &ldquo;be achieved&rdquo;.
However, the absence of these words does not mean that the statements are not forward-looking. Where, in any forward-looking statement,
Workhorse expresses an expectation or belief as to future results, such expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and believed
to be reasonable at the time such forward-looking statement is made. However, these statements are not guarantees of future performance
and involve certain risks, uncertainties and other factors beyond the parties&rsquo; control. Therefore, actual outcomes and results
may differ materially from what is expressed or forecast in the forward-looking statements.</FONT></P>
