Exro Technologies Learns of Threatened Lawsuit

CALGARY, AB, Nov. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ - Exro Technologies Inc. (TSX: EXRO) (OTCQB: EXROF) (the "Company" or "Exro"), a leading clean-technology company that provides proprietary motor-control and complete electric propulsion system technology for e-mobility, 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.
