**Explanatory Note** 

Workhorse Group Inc. (the "Company," "we," "our" or "us") filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the "Original 10-K Filing") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on March 31, 2026. Pursuant to General Instruction G(3) to Form 10-K, the Company incorporated by reference the information required by Part III of Form 10-K from its Definitive Proxy Statement for the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "2026 Proxy Statement") that it expected to file with the Commission no later than 120 days after the end of the fiscal year covered by the Original 10-K Filing. Because the Company now expects to file its 2026 Proxy Statement later than the 120th day after the end of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, the Company is filing this Amendment No. 1 to the Original 10-K Filing (this "Form 10-K/A") to (i) include the information required by Part III of Form 10-K, (ii) include additional exhibits in Item 15 of Part IV of the Original 10-K Filing required by Item 601 of Regulation S-K, and (iii) file new certifications pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 as exhibits in Item 15 of Part IV of this Form 10-K/A. Because no financial statements have been included in this Form 10-K/A and this Form 10-K/A does not contain or amend any disclosure with respect to Items 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K, paragraphs 3, 4, and 5 of the Section 302 certifications have been omitted and no certifications pursuant to Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 are included in this Form 10-K/A.

This Form 10-K/A amends and restates in their entirety Items 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 of Part III of the Original 10-K Filing and the exhibit index set forth in Part IV of the Original 10-K Filing. The cover page of the Original 10-K Filing is also amended to delete the reference to the incorporation by reference of the Company's 2026 Proxy Statement.

Except as explicitly set forth herein, this Form 10-K/A does not amend, modify or otherwise update the disclosures in, or exhibits to, the Original 10-K Filing, and does not otherwise reflect any events occurring after the filing of the Original Form 10-K. Accordingly, this Form 10-K/A should be read in conjunction with the Original 10-K Filing and with our filings with the Commission subsequent to the Original 10-K Filing.

Terms used but not defined herein are as defined in the Original 10-K Filing.

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our executive officers and directors and persons who own more than 10% of any class of our equity securities to file forms with the SEC reporting their ownership and any changes in their ownership of those securities. Based solely on a review of filed reports and written representations from our directors and executive officers relating to the year ended December 31, 2025, we believe that all reports were filed on a timely basis except that, due to administrative issues, (i) the Form 3 filing reporting Workhorse equity holdings for James Griffin and (ii) the Form 3 filing reporting equity holdings for Scott Zion, which were due within 10 days of December 15, 2025, the date on which they each became an executive officer of the Company, were each filed on January 28, 2026.

*Code of Ethics*

We have adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to all directors, officers and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, and principal accounting officer, and covers a broad range of topics, including data security, compliance with laws, restrictions on gifts, and conflicts of interest. All salaried employees are required to affirm from time to time in writing their acceptance of, and compliance with, the Code of Ethics. The Code of Ethics is posted on our website at http://www.ir.workhorse.com.

*Audit Committee*

The Board has established an Audit Committee in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act, consisting of Alan Henricks (Chair), Pamela S. Mader, and Desi Ujkashevic. The Board has determined that each of the members is an

"independent director" as defined by the rules of Nasdaq applicable to members of an audit committee and Rule 10A-3(b)(i) under the Exchange Act. In addition, Mr. Henricks is an "audit committee financial expert" as defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K and demonstrates "financial sophistication" as defined by the rules of Nasdaq.

*Insider Trading Policy*

The Company maintains an Insider Trading Policy that applies to all directors, officers, employees, and certain designated consultants and contractors. This policy is designed to prevent trading in the Company's securities while in possession of material nonpublic information and to ensure compliance with applicable securities laws, including the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and SEC regulations.

Under the policy, covered individuals are prohibited from:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Buying or selling the Company's securities while aware of material nonpublic information.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Disclosing material nonpublic information to others who may use that information to trade.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Conducting transactions during blackout periods, unless pre-approved under an approved 10b5-1 trading plan.

The Company regularly reviews and updates its Insider Trading Policy to reflect regulatory changes and best practices. Training on compliance with the policy is provided to applicable personnel, and violations may result in disciplinary action, including termination of employment. Although the Company is not subject to the Insider Trading Policy, the Company's policy is to comply with applicable law when transacting in its securities. A copy of our Insider Trading Policy was filed as Exhibit 19.1 to our Original 10-K filing.

Effective March 4, 2024, the Company's executive officers, including the fiscal 2024 named executive officers, agreed to defer 20% of their salaries to reflect a commitment to the Company and to align their compensation with the broader actions the Company is taking to reduce costs. On November 13, 2024, the Company's Board of Directors approved the termination of the 20% salary deferral by the Company's executive officers, effective for the pay period beginning on October 28, 2024. All previously deferred compensation was paid in July 2025. The amounts reflected in the table for 2024 include the deferred amounts ($102,000 for Mr. Dauch; $52,306 for Mr. Ginnan; and $49,035 for Mr. Harrington) which were paid in 2025.

**Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table**

*Base Salary*. Base salary is a fixed element within a total compensation package intended to attract and retain the talent necessary to successfully manage the business of our Company and execute its business strategies. The base salary for the executive officers was established based on the scope of their responsibilities, taking into account relevant experience, internal pay equity, tenure, and other factors deemed relevant. Base salaries are adjusted from time to time to realign salaries with market levels after taking into account individual responsibilities, performance and experience.

Mr. Griffith became our Chief Executive Officer on December 15, 2025 in connection with the Merger Closing and the base salary amount reported for him for 2025 in the Summary Compensation Table reflects the amount of base salary he earned during his partial year of service with us after the Merger Closing. Mr. Griffith's annualized base salary for 2025 was $325,000. However, on January 6, 2026, the Compensation Committee approved an increase to Mr. Griffith's base salary to $600,000, which increase was retroactively effective to December 15, 2025.

*Short-Term Incentive Plan and Bonuses*.

Mr. Anderson is the only one of our NEOs that is eligible to receive a 2025 payout under our Short-Term Incentive Plan. However, the 2025 bonus for Mr. Anderson has not yet been determined. For 2026, the applicable target bonus amounts for our NEOs as percentage of 2026 base salary are: 50% for each of Messrs. Griffith and Anderson. Mr. Ginnan is not eligible for any 2026 performance bonus.

*Employee Benefits and Perquisites*. We currently maintain a 401(k) plan and health and welfare plans (including medical, dental and vision plans) for all of our full-time employees, including the NEOs. We currently also provide life insurance for up to $100,000 to the NEOs, with premiums paid by the Company.

*Employment Agreements*. Each of our NEOs has entered into written employment agreements with us that provide for payment of base salary, target annual cash incentive compensation, eligibility for employee benefit programs and potential severance benefits. For further information regarding the severance benefits provided under their employment agreements and offer letters, please see "Employment Agreements and Potential Payments on Change of Control and Termination" below.

*Equity Awards*. We have granted equity awards to our NEOs in the past under our equity incentive plan. As of December 31, 2025 there were no equity awards outstanding that were held by our NEOs because all then outstanding Workhorse options were cancelled in connection with the Merger Closing for no consideration and all other unvested and outstanding Workhorse equity awards granted under our equity plans accelerated vesting in full at the Merger Closing and therefore were not outstanding after Merger Closing.

*Option Repricing and Equity Award Modification*. We did not reprice any stock options or otherwise modify any outstanding equity awards during the year ended December 31, 2025 for our NEOs.

------

**Outstanding Equity Awards at December 31, 2025**

There were no outstanding equity awards held by our NEOs as of December 31, 2025.

**Employment Agreements and Potential Payments on Change of Control and Termination**

*Scott Griffith Employment Letter Agreement* 

The Company entered into an employment letter agreement with Mr. Griffith on April 25, 2026 setting forth the terms of his employment retroactive to December 15, 2025, including his base salary level, eligibility to participate in the Company's Short-Term Incentive Plan, eligibility for equity awards, and potential payments upon termination.

Under his agreement, Mr. Griffith is entitled to the following severance payments in the event of our termination of his employment without Cause or his resignation for Good Reason (as such terms are defined below), provided that he executes and delivers an effective release of claims: (1) Mr. Griffith's then-current annual base salary for a period of 12 months, paid in monthly installments, and (2) 100% of Mr. Griffith's cash bonus target for the current year, paid in a lump sum.

For purposes of Mr. Griffith's agreement, "<u>Cause</u>" means any of the following: (i) Mr. Griffith's theft, dishonesty, willful misconduct, embezzlement, misappropriation, fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, or falsification of any Company documents or records; (ii) Mr. Griffith's material failure to abide by the Company's code of conduct or other material written Company policies (including policies relating to confidentiality and reasonable workplace conduct); (iii) Mr. Griffith's unauthorized use, misappropriation, destruction or diversion of any tangible or intangible asset or corporate opportunity of the Company (including Mr. Griffith's improper use or disclosure of the Company's confidential or proprietary information) other than the occasional, customary and de minimis use of Company property for personal purposes; (iv) any willful action or omission that, to a reasonable person, would be likely to have a material detrimental effect on the Company's reputation or business; (v) Mr. Griffith's repeated failure to perform any reasonable assigned duties; (vi) any material breach by Mr. Griffith of a material term of his employment letter agreement or other agreement between Mr. Griffith and the Company; or (vii) Mr. Griffith's conviction of (including any plea of guilty or *nolo contendere* to) any felony or any other criminal act involving fraud, dishonesty, misappropriation or moral turpitude, or that impairs Mr. Griffith's ability to perform Mr. Griffith's duties with the Company; provided, however, that Cause shall not exist under (ii), (v), and (vi) unless the Company first provides Mr. Griffith with written notice of the events giving rise to Cause and an opportunity to cure for not less than thirty (30) days. If Mr. Griffith fails to cure within such cure period, the Company may terminate Mr. Griffith's employment immediately.

For purposes of Mr. Griffith's agreement, "<u>Good Reason</u>" means the occurrence of any one or more of the following without Mr. Griffith's consent: (i) diminution of Mr. Griffith's title, role, or responsibilities or authority as Chief Executive Officer of the Company; (ii) a material reduction by the Company of Mr. Griffith's base compensation, other than a reduction that occurs in connection with a reduction that is imposed on all executive employees of the Company at the time of such reduction; (iii) the relocation of Mr. Griffith's regularly required work place for the Company to a location that is more than fifty (50) miles away from Mr. Griffith's regular work place for the Company; or (iv) the Company's material breach of the terms of this Agreement; provided, that in any such event Mr. Griffith shall notify the Company in writing providing with specificity the acts or omissions constituting the alleged basis for Good Reason within forty-five (45) days following the initial existence of such basis, the Company shall have failed to cure all such acts and omissions within thirty (30) days following its receipt of such written notice, and Mr. Griffith terminates his employment with the Company within ten (10) days following the expiration of such cure period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a suspension of Mr. Griffith's responsibilities, authority and/or duties for the Company during any portion of a bona fide internal investigation or an investigation by regulatory or law enforcement authorities shall not constitute Good Reason.

*Other Named Executive Officer Employment Agreements*

The Company had previously entered into employment agreements with each of its named executive officers other than Mr. Griffith. These agreements define the position held by each named executive officer, as well as base salary level, eligibility to participate in the Company's short- and long-term incentive programs and potential payments upon termination, including upon a Change of Control (as defined below). The Company's entry into these agreements was conditioned upon each executive's entry into a non-compete agreement and an assignment of intellectual property and confidentiality agreement in favor of the Company.

On August 15, 2025, each of our NEOs other than Mr. Griffith entered into amendments to their then existing employment agreements to reduce the amounts payable to them in connection with qualifying termination without Cause or for Good Reason upon or within 18 months following a Change of Control (the "Change of Control Amendments"). The Change of Control Amendments also provided that each of Messrs. Ginnan, Dauch, Harrington and March were not eligible to earn any cash bonus for 2025 and provided them with an additional cash payment of $1,000.

------

Under the terms of the employment agreements, as amended by the Change of Control Amendments, each named executive officer other than Mr. Griffith is entitled to certain payments in the event of a (1) Change of Control and (2) either (A) the Company's termination of such named executive officer (except for Cause (as defined below)) or (B) the named executive officer's departure for Good Reason (as such term is defined below) either upon or within 18 months following a Change of Control. In the event of such Control qualifying termination, the Company agreed to provide to each such named executive officer (1) a cash severance payment equal to such named executive officer's base salary for the calendar year in which such termination occurs (or for Mr. Dauch, $1,000,000), (2) full acceleration of such executive's unvested, outstanding equity awards, including a good faith determination by the Compensation Committee of the then level of attainment of the performance metrics, (3) D&O Insurance coverage for 24 months and (4) COBRA coverage for 12 months.

In the event of such termination upon Change of Control, payment shall be made as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)If the termination upon Change of Control occurs prior to the earlier of the consummation of the Equity Financing and June 30, 2026, the first 33.33% of such payment shall be paid in connection with the occurrence of such termination upon Change of Control, and within five (5) business days following the effective date of such named executive officer's release of claims against Workhorse, and the remaining amount shall be paid upon the earlier of the consummation of the Equity Financing or June 30, 2026; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)If the termination upon Change of Control occurs after the earlier of the consummation of the Equity Financing and June 30, 2026, such payment shall be paid in connection with the occurrence of such termination upon Change of Control, and within five (5) business days following the effective date of such named executive officer's release of claims against Workhorse.

Because the Merger Closing constituted a Change of Control and each of Messrs. Dauch, Harrington, and March terminated employment upon the Merger Closing, they became entitled to these Change of Control termination severance benefits, a portion of which has already been paid to them and a portion of which is currently unpaid and scheduled to be paid by June 30, 2026 as further described above.

In addition, under the terms of their employment agreements, each of Mr. Ginnan and Mr. Anderson is entitled to certain payments in the event of an involuntary termination without Cause or termination by such named executive officer for Good Reason, in either case when no Change of Control has occurred. In such an event, the Company has agreed to provide to each such named executive officer (1) a lump sum cash severance payment equal to such named executive officer's (A) annual base salary for the calendar year in which such termination occurs and (B) target cash bonus for the calendar year in which such termination occurs, (2) a lump sum payment of (A) if the termination occurs before March 15, any earned but unpaid cash bonus or (B) if the termination occurs after June 30, the target cash bonus for the calendar year of termination pro-rated for the length of service, (3) prorated acceleration of such executive's unvested, outstanding time-based vesting equity awards based on the period from the date of grant to the date of such termination compared to the total vesting period, (4) prorated acceleration of such executive's unvested, outstanding performance-based vesting awards based on the period from the first day of the performance period to the date of such termination compared to the total performance period and a good faith determination by the Compensation Committee of the actual level of attainment of the performance metrics, (5) D&O Insurance coverage for 24 months and (6) for Mr. Ginnan, an additional lump sum payment of $25,000 to provide for continued healthcare coverage. In the event of a termination without Cause or with Good Reason not in connection with a Change of Control, cash payments are due from the Company in a lump sum within 30 days of the triggering event.

In December 2025, we entered into a further amendment to Mr. Ginnan's employment agreement and in connection therewith, he received an additional cash payment of $1,000. The additional amendment provided that if he remains employed through March 31, 2026, then he would also be eligible for a transition benefit payment equal to 30% of his then current base salary, pro-rated for the number of days he is employed from the Merger Closing through his employment termination date. The amendment agreement further provided that Mr. Ginnan is not eligible for any 2026 bonus or any equity awards for 2026 or any later year.

Each employment agreement with our NEOs other than Mr. Griffith defines a "Change of Control" as any of the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)any "person" (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing fifty (50%) percent or more of (i) the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company, or (ii) the combined voting power of the Company's outstanding securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)the Company is party to a merger or consolidation, or series of related transactions, which results in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto failing to continue to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity), directly or indirectly, more than fifty (50%) percent of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation; or

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the Company's assets, or consummation of any transaction, or series of related transactions, having similar effect (other than to a subsidiary of the Company).

Each employment agreement with our NEOs other than Mr. Griffith defines as "Cause" as any of the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)the officer substantially failed to perform his duties or to follow the lawful written directions of the Board (other than any such failure resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)the officer engaged in willful misconduct or incompetence that is materially detrimental to the Company or any of its affiliates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)the officer failed to comply with the Employee Invention Assignment & Confidentiality Agreement, the Company's insider trading policy, the officer's non-compete agreement or any other policies of the Company where noncompliance would be materially detrimental to the Company or any of its affiliates; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)the officer's conviction of or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to a felony or crime involving moral turpitude (excluding drunk driving unless combined with other aggravating circumstances or offenses), or the officer's commission of any embezzlement, misappropriation, or fraud, whether or not related to the officer's employment with the Company or any of its affiliates.

Each employment agreement with our NEOs other than Mr. Griffith defines "Good Reason" as the occurrence of any of the following without such officer's consent:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)A reduction in the officer's base salary or target cash bonus opportunity as a percentage of base salary, except in the event of a one-time reduction in the officer's base salary or target cash bonus opportunity as part of a Company-wide or executive team-wide cost-cutting measure or Company-wide or executive team-wide cutback as a result of overall Company performance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)The failure of the Company (i) to continue to provide the officer an opportunity to participate in any benefit or compensation plans provided to employees who hold positions with the Company comparable to the officer's position, (ii) to provide the officer all other fringe benefits (or the equivalent) in effect for the benefit of any employee group which includes any employee who holds a position with the Company comparable to the officer's position, where in the event of a Change of Control, such comparison shall be made relative to the period immediately prior to the public announcement of such Change of Control; or (iii) to continue to provide director's and officers' insurance, in each case if such failure causes a material reduction in the officer's overall compensation and benefits package.

In the event any NEO is terminated for Cause, the Company is required to pay salary, accrued vacation and other amounts earned, accrued or owing but not yet paid as of the termination date, including any cash bonus to the extent that all conditions for payment of such bonus have been met as of the termination date. In addition, all equity vesting shall terminate immediately in connection with such event.

**Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation**

The current members of our Human Resource Management and Compensation Committee are Pamela S. Mader (Chair), Raymond Chess, Matthew O'Leary and Paul Savoie. Prior to the Merger, Austin Scott Miller also served on the committee. None of these individuals has ever been an executive officer or employee of the Company. None of our executive officers currently serve, or has served during the last completed fiscal year, on the compensation committee or board of directors of any other entity that has one or more executive officers that serves as a member of our Board of Directors or our Human Resource Management and Compensation Committee.

**Director Compensation**

During 2025, each non-employee director of the Company who was serving as such prior to the Merger was eligible to receive an annual Board retainer of $75,000. The Chairman received an additional retainer of $25,000. In addition to this cash compensation, non-employee directors prior to the Merger were eligible to receive annual equity-based compensation consisting of restricted stock unit awards with an aggregate grant date value equal to $100,000 or, in the case of the Chairman, $125,000. Each non-employee director was also reimbursed for travel and miscellaneous expenses to attend meetings and activities of the Board or its committees. All of the restricted stock unit awards granted in 2025 vested in full as of the effective date of the Merger.

**Policies and Practices for Granting Certain Equity Awards**

Our Board approves all equity award grants to our named executive officers on or before the grant date, except to the extent the Board has delegated to the Human Resource Management and Compensation Committee authority to approve equity grants. Our general practice is to complete our annual executive compensation review and determine performance goals and target compensation for our named executive officers. Accordingly, annual equity awards are typically determined, reviewed and approved at the first Board meeting of the fiscal year. These grants are then made effective shortly thereafter. On occasion, the Board may grant equity awards outside of our annual grant cycle for new hires, promotions, recognition, retention or other purposes. While the Board has discretionary authority to grant equity awards to our named executive officers outside of the cycle described above, the Board does not take into account material non-public information when determining the timing or terms of equity awards, nor do we time disclosure of material non-public information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation. During fiscal year 2025, we did not grant stock options (or similar awards) to any named executive officer during any period beginning four business days before and ending one business day after the filing of any Company periodic report on Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, or the filing or furnishing of any Company Form 8-K that disclosed any material non-public information.

**Beneficial Ownership Table**

The following table shows information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our Common Stock as of April 24, 2026, for:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• each person known to us to own beneficially 5% or more of our outstanding Common Stock;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• each of our directors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• each of our named executive officers; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• all of our directors and executive officers as a group.

As of April 24, 2026, there were 10,893,223 shares of our Common Stock outstanding. Except as indicated by footnote and subject to community property laws where applicable, to our knowledge, the persons named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of Common Stock shown as beneficially owned by them.

The amounts and percentages of shares beneficially owned are reported on the basis of SEC regulations governing the determination of beneficial ownership of securities. Under SEC rules, a person is deemed to be a "beneficial owner" of a security if that person has or shares voting power or investment power, which includes the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of such security. A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any securities of which that person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days. Securities that can be so acquired are deemed to be outstanding for purposes of computing such person's ownership percentage, but not for purposes of computing any other person's percentage. Under these rules, more than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities and a person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of securities as to which such person has no economic interest.

*Pre-Merger Sale Leaseback*

On August 15, 2025, a subsidiary of Workhorse, Workhorse Motor Works Inc, entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "Purchase and Sale Agreement") with an affiliate (the "Purchaser") of Motive GM Holdings II, LLC ("MGMH"), the Company's controlling stockholder, for the sale of its Union City, Indiana manufacturing facility and campus (the "Property"), excluding any equipment and any fixtures solely used in the production of vehicles, for a purchase price, before fees and expenses, of $20.0 million.

Pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement, Workhorse and the Purchaser entered into a Lease (the "Lease"), pursuant to which Workhorse agrees to lease the Property from the Purchaser for an initial term of 20 years. Workhorse will have the option to renew the Lease for six additional 5-year renewal terms, subject to the terms of the Lease.

After the conclusion of a six-month abatement period, Workhorse will pay base annual rent of $2.1 million for the Property, subject to an annual increase of 3% during the initial term of the Lease and certain additional increases during any renewal term. In addition to rent, Workhorse will be responsible for all costs and expenses related to the Property, including, without limitation, all costs and expenses for maintenance, operation, repair and replacement of buildings and improvements, utility charges, insurance premiums and real estate taxes and assessments; provided, that Workhorse is not obligated to make any capital replacements or repairs during the last year of the lease term.

Workhorse has made rent payments to the Purchaser in the aggregate of approximately $0.4 million pursuant to the Lease.

*Credit Facilities and Convertible Note*

On December 15, 2025, the Company entered into certain credit arrangements with MGMH. The arrangements consist of (i) a customer order–based credit facility with total commitments of up to $40.0 million (the "Customer Order Credit Agreement") and (ii) a revolving credit facility (the "Cash Flow Credit Agreement" and, together with the Customer Order Credit Agreement, the "Related Party Credit Agreements") with total commitments of up to $10.0 million. Borrowings under the Related Party Credit Agreements bear interest at 3-month Term SOFR plus 5%, with interest payments due every three months after the date of any borrowings. The Related Party Credit Agreements mature on December 15, 2028 and the Company's obligations thereunder are secured by substantially all of the Company's assets. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $5.0 million in outstanding borrowings under the customer order-based credit facility, and $10.0 million in outstanding borrowings under the Cash Flow Credit Agreement. As of March 31, 2026, the Company has recognized $0.3 million of interest expense, and $0.2 million in interest payments have been made to MGMH related to these credit arrangements.

On August 15, 2025, the Company issued MGMH a Subordinated Secured Convertible Note with an aggregate original principal amount of $5 million (the "Convertible Note"). On December 15, 2025, the parties amended the Convertible Note to make the Company's obligation unsecured. The Convertible Note bears interest at a rate of 8% per annum, which is compounded quarterly and added to the principal amount outstanding. As of March 31, 2026, the principal amount outstanding under the Convertible Note was $5.0 million and the Company has recognized $0.3 million of interest expense related to the Convertible Note.

*Registration Rights Agreement*

On December 15, 2025, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with MGMH pursuant to which MGMH was granted certain customary demand and piggyback registration rights with respect to the resale of shares of Common Stock it holds or may in the future hold. We will pay all registration expenses in connection with effecting any such registrations. The registration rights will terminate under certain conditions, including when MGMH has transferred such shares pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act or is eligible to sell such shares pursuant to Rule 144 without any restrictions.

This Second Amendment to Employment Agreement ("***Second Amendment***") is made and entered into effective as of August 15, 2025 (the "***Effective Date***"), by and between Workhorse Group Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "***Company***"), and Stanley R. March ("***Executive***").

**WHEREAS**, Executive and the Company entered into that certain Employment Agreement, dated as of October 19, 2021 (the "***Employment Agreement***").

**WHEREAS**, the Company, Omaha Intermediate 2, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("***Intermediate Parent***"), Omaha Intermediate, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("***Intermediate***"), Omaha Merger Subsidiary, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("***Merger Sub***"), and Motiv Power Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation, have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "***Merger Agreement***") dated August 15, 2025 (such transaction, the "***Merger***").

**WHEREAS**, in connection with the Merger, the Company and Executive desire to amend the Employment Agreement for their mutual benefit pursuant to the terms of this Second Amendment.

**NOW THEREFORE**, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which hereby are acknowledged, the parties, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.Executive's employment with the Company shall terminate effective as of the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement), or such later date following the Effective Time as reasonably required for Executive to successfully transition his duties (such date, the "***Termination Date***"). Such termination shall constitute a Termination Upon Change of Control (as defined in the Employment Agreement). Executive shall continue to receive Executive's regular compensation through the Termination Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.Within ten (10) business days of the Effective Date, the Company shall pay Executive a taxable cash payment of $1,000.00, less applicable withholding taxes, which payment Executive is not otherwise entitled to receive.

"However, in no event will any such payments be made prior to the effective date of the release of claims required by Section 9.2 (the "Release Effective Date"):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)if the Termination Upon Change of Control occurs prior to the earlier of the consummation of the Equity Financing (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and June 30, 2026, the first 33.33% of such payment shall be paid in connection

------

with the occurrence of such Termination Upon Change of Control, and within five

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) business days following the Release Effective Date and the remaining amount shall be paid upon the earlier of the consummation of the Equity Financing (as defined in the Merger Agreement) or June 30, 2026; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)if the Termination Upon Change of Control occurs after the earlier of the consummation of the Equity Financing (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and June 30, 2026, such payment shall be paid in connection with the occurrence of such Termination Upon Change of Control, and within five (5) business days following the Release Effective Date."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.Section 5.2 of the Employment Agreement is amended to add the following sentence at the end of that Section:

"Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive acknowledges and agrees that Executive shall not be eligible to earn any Cash Bonus for the 2025 calendar year."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.The following language is hereby added as new Section 5.5 to the Employment Agreement:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.5 <u>COBRA Payments</u>. In the event of Executive's Termination Upon Change of Control, if Executive timely and properly elects health continuation coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 ("***COBRA***"), the Company shall timely remit payment for the monthly COBRA premiums on behalf of Executive and Executive's dependents. The Company's requirement to remit such payments shall continue until the earliest of: (i) the 12-month anniversary of Executive's Termination Upon Change in Control; (ii) the date Executive is no longer eligible to receive COBRA continuation coverage; and (iii) the date on which Executive enrolls in substantially similar coverage from another employer or other source. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company's making payments under this Section 5.5 would violate the nondiscrimination rules applicable to non-grandfathered plans under the Affordable Care Act (the "***ACA***") or result in the imposition of penalties under the ACA and the related regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder, the parties agree to reform this Section 5.5 in a manner as is necessary to comply with the ACA.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.Section 9.2 of the Employment Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.2 <u>Release of Claims</u>. The payments and other benefits provided in Sections 5 and 6 of this Agreement upon termination of the Executive's employment are conditioned upon the delivery by the Executive to the Company of a signed and effective general release of claims in a form provided by the Company (the "***Release***") and such Release becoming effective within thirty (30) days following the Termination Date, or within such later period following the Termination Date as is specified in the Release as required to provide for an effective release of claims; provided, however, that the Executive shall not be required to release any rights the Executive may have to be indemnified by the Company or as otherwise provided under this Agreement.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.Executive and the Company hereby agree that the terms set forth in this Second Amendment do not constitute an occurrence that would permit Executive's resignation for Good Reason (as defined in the Employment Agreement).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.In the event that the Merger does not occur or the Merger Agreement is terminated pursuant to its terms prior to the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement), this Second Amendment shall terminate concurrently therewith and be null and void ab initio with no force or effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.Except as amended by this Second Amendment, all other terms of the Employment Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and are incorporated herein. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Second Amendment and the Employment Agreement, the terms of this Second Amendment shall control. Any capitalized terms used herein but not expressly defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Employment Agreement.

8. The following language is hereby added as new Section 5.5 to the Employment Agreement:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.5 <u>COBRA Payments</u>. In the event of Executive's Termination Upon Change of Control, if Executive timely and properly elects health continuation coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 ("***COBRA***"), the Company shall timely remit payment for the monthly COBRA premiums on behalf of Executive and Executive's dependents. The Company's requirement to remit such payments shall continue until the earliest of: (i) the 12-month anniversary of Executive's Termination Upon Change in Control; (ii) the date Executive is no longer eligible to receive COBRA continuation coverage; and (iii) the date on which Executive enrolls in substantially similar coverage from another employer or other source. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company's making payments under this Section 5.5 would violate the nondiscrimination rules applicable to non-grandfathered plans under the Affordable Care Act (the "***ACA***") or result in the imposition of penalties under the ACA and the related regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder, the parties agree to reform this Section 5.5 in a manner as is necessary to comply with the ACA.

9. Section 9.2 of the Employment Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.2 <u>Release of Claims</u>. The payments and other benefits provided in Sections 5 and 6 of this Agreement upon termination of the Executive's employment are conditioned upon the delivery by the Executive to the Company of a signed and effective general release of claims in a form provided by the Company (the "***Release***") and such Release becoming effective within thirty (30) days following the Termination Date, or within such later period following the Termination Date as is specified in the Release as required to provide for an effective release of claims; provided, however, that the Executive shall not be required to release any rights the Executive may have to be indemnified by the Company or as otherwise provided under this Agreement.

10. Executive and the Company hereby agree that the terms set forth in this Amended Second Amendment do not constitute an occurrence that would permit Executive's resignation for Good Reason (as defined in the Employment Agreement).

11. In the event that the Merger does not occur or the Merger Agreement is terminated pursuant to its terms prior to the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement), this Amended Second Amendment shall terminate concurrently therewith and be null and void ab initio with no force or effect.

12. Except as amended by this Amended Second Amendment, all other terms of the Employment Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and are incorporated herein. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Amended Second Amendment and the Employment Agreement, the terms of this Amended Second Amendment shall control.

------

Any capitalized terms used herein but not expressly defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Employment Agreement.

------

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company and Executive have executed this Amended and Restated Second Amendment to Employment Agreement as of the date first written above.
