In addition, the Company has agreed to issue to the Agents, on the Closing Date, such number of common share purchase warrants of the Company (the " Compensation Warrants ") as is equal to 6.50% of the aggregate number of Common Shares issued pursuant to the Offering.

  • (2) After deducting the Agents' Fee, but before deducting the expenses related to the Offering estimated at $300,000, which, together with the Agents' Fee, will be paid by the Company from the proceeds of the Offering. See " Use of Proceeds ".

  • (3) Pursuant to the terms of the Agency Agreement, all subscription funds received from subscribers will be retained in trust by the Agents until the Minimum Offering is obtained.

  • (4) The Company has agreed to grant the Agents an over-allotment option (the " Over-Allotment Option ") exercisable, in whole or in part, at the Agents' sole discretion, to purchase up to an additional number of common shares of the Company (the " Additional Common Shares ") as is equal to 15% of the number of Common Shares sold hereunder at a price equal to the Offering Price, to cover overallocations, if any, and for market stabilization purposes. The Over-Allotment Option is exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time or times during the 30 days immediately following the final Closing Date. If the Offering is fully subscribed and the Agents exercise the Over-Allotment Option in full, the total price to the public, Agents' Fee and net proceeds to the Company (before deducting the expenses of the Offering which are estimated to be approximately $300,000) will be $41,974,998, $2,728,374.87 and $39,246,623.13, respectively. This Prospectus also qualifies the grant of the Over-Allotment Option and the distribution of any Additional Common Shares issued or sold pursuant to the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option.

See " Plan of Distribution ".

This Prospectus also qualifies the grant of the Compensation Warrants and the Corporate Finance Fee Shares. See " Plan of Distribution ".

Unless the context otherwise requires, when used herein, all references to "Offering", "Common Shares", "Corporate Finance Fee Shares" and "Compensation Warrants" include the Additional Common Shares, Corporate Finance Fee Shares and Compensation Warrants issuable upon exercise of the Over-Allotment Option.

Note:

(1) Assuming completion of the Maximum Offering and exercise of the Over-Allotment Option in full.

The Company has made an application to the TSXV to list the Common Shares (including the Additional Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option), the Corporate Finance Fee Shares and the Compensation Warrant Shares offered under this Prospectus on the TSXV. Such listing will be subject to the fulfillment of all of the listing requirements of the TSXV. The Compensation Warrants will not be listed on the TSXV.

This Offering is not underwritten or guaranteed by any person. The Offering is being conducted on a best efforts agency basis by the Agents who conditionally offer the Common Shares for sale, if, as and when issued by the Company and delivered to and accepted by the Agents, in accordance with the terms and conditions contained in the Agency Agreement referred to under " Plan of Distribution " and subject to the approval of certain legal matters on behalf of the Company by Stikeman Elliott LLP, and on behalf of the Agents by DLA Piper (Canada) LLP.

Subscriptions for the Common Shares will be received subject to rejection or allotment in whole or in part and the Company has the right to reserve to close the subscription books at any time without notice. Provided that the Minimum Offering is met, it is expected that closing of the Offering will occur on or about December 8, 2020, or such other date not later than 90 days after the date of the receipt for the (final) short form prospectus (the " Closing Date "). If subscriptions for the Minimum Offering have not been received within 90 days following the date of issuance of a receipt for the final prospectus, the Offering will not continue and the subscription proceeds will be returned to subscribers, without interest or deduction. See " Plan of Distribution ".

Subject to applicable laws and in connection with this Offering, the Agents may over-allot or effect transactions which stabilize or maintain the market price of the Common Shares at levels other than those which might otherwise prevail in the open market in accordance with applicable stabilization rules. Such transactions, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time. See " Plan of Distribution ".

An investment in the Common Shares is highly speculative and involves significant risks. The risk factors outlined or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus should be carefully reviewed and considered by prospective purchasers in connection with their investment in the Common Shares. See " Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information " and " Risk Factors ". Potential investors are advised to consult their own legal counsel and other professional advisors in order to assess the income tax, legal and other aspects of the Offering.

Except as may be otherwise agreed by the Company and the Agents, it is expected that the Company will arrange for an instant deposit of the Common Shares to or for the account of the Agents with CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. (" CDS ") on the Closing Date, against payment of the aggregate purchase price for the Common Shares. Purchasers of Common Shares will receive only a customer confirmation from the Agents or other registered dealer that is a CDS participant and from or through which a beneficial interest in the Common Shares is purchased. See " Plan of Distribution ".

Certain legal matters relating to the Offering will be passed upon by Stikeman Elliott LLP, on behalf of the Company, and by DLA Piper (Canada) LLP, on behalf of the Agents.

In this Prospectus, references to "Exro", the "Company", "we", "us" and "our" refer to Exro Technologies Inc. and/or, as applicable, one or more of its subsidiaries.

Investors should rely only on the information contained in or incorporated by reference into this Prospectus. The Company has not authorized anyone to provide investors with different information.

ELIGIBILITY FOR INVESTMENT

In the opinion of Stikeman Elliott LLP, counsel to the Company, and DLA Piper (Canada) LLP, counsel to the Agents, based on the current provisions of the Income Tax Act (Canada), including the regulations thereunder, (the " Tax Act "), the Common Shares, if issued on the date hereof, would be qualified investments under the Tax Act for a trust governed by a registered retirement savings plan (" RRSP "), a registered retirement income fund (" RRIF "), a registered education savings plan (" RESP "), a deferred profit sharing plan, a registered disability savings plan (" RDSP ") and a tax-free savings account (" TFSA "), as those terms are defined in the Tax Act, provided that, at such time, the Common Shares are listed on a "designated stock exchange" for the purposes of the Tax Act (which currently includes the TSXV).

Notwithstanding that a Common Shares may be a qualified investment for an RRSP, RRIF, RESP, RDSP or TFSA (each a " Deferred Income Plan ") as discussed above, if the Common Shares is a "prohibited investment" for the purposes of the Tax Act, the holder, annuitant or subscriber of a Deferred Income Plan, as the case may be, will be subject to penalty taxes as set out in the Tax Act. A Common Share generally will not be a prohibited investment for a Deferred Income Plan if the annuitant or holder or subscriber, as the case may be, deals at arm's length with the Company for the purposes of the Tax Act and does not have a "significant interest" (as defined in the Tax Act) in the Company. In addition, the Common Shares will not be a prohibited investment if such securities are "excluded property" as defined in the Tax Act, for a Deferred Income Plan. Prospective purchasers who intend to hold the Common Shares in a Deferred Income Plan should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the application of these rules in their particular circumstances.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

This Prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein contain certain "forward-looking information" and "forward-looking statements" (collectively, " forward-looking information ") which are based upon the Company's current internal expectations, estimates, projections, assumptions and beliefs. Such statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "expect", "likely", "may", "will", "should", "intend", "anticipate", "potential", "proposed", "estimate" and other similar words, including negative and grammatical variations thereof, or statements that certain events or conditions "may" or "will" happen, or by discussions of strategy. Forward-looking information includes estimates, plans, expectations, opinions, forecasts, projections, targets, guidance, or other statements that are not statements of fact. Such forward-looking information is as of the date of this Prospectus, or in the case of documents incorporated by reference herein, as of the date of each such document.

Forward-looking information contained in this Prospectus includes statements with respect to:

  • the timing and closing of the Offering;

  • the satisfaction of the conditions to closing of the Offering, including the receipt, in a timely manner, of regulatory and other required approvals;

  • the terms of the Offering and the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option;

2

  • the competitive and business strategies of the Company.

Undue reliance should not be placed on such forward-looking information, as there can be no assurance that the plans, intentions or expectations upon which they are based will occur. By its nature, forward-looking information involves numerous assumptions, known and unknown risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, that contribute to the possibility that the predictions, forecasts, projections and other forward-looking information will not be realized. These statements and information are only predictions based on current information and knowledge, some of which may be attributed to third party industry sources. Actual future events or results may differ materially. The forwardlooking information is based on a number of key expectations and assumptions made by our management including but not limited to:

  • our ability to attract and retain strategic partners;

  • our ability to license our technology and generate hardware/software sales and service revenue;

  • our ability to deliver our technology and services at expected volumes for expected prices;

  • achievement of current timetables for research and development programs and sales;

  • global economic and financial market conditions.

Forward-looking information contained in or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus are based on the assumptions described in this Prospectus. Although management believes the expectations reflected in such forward-looking information are reasonable, forward-looking information is based on the opinions, assumptions and estimates of management at the date the statements are made, and is subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties and other factors, both known and unknown, that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking information. These factors include, but are not limited to:

  • the condition of the global economy, including trade, public health and other geopolitical risks;

  • our technology may not prove useful in some of the applications in which the Company envisages it being applied;

  • the rate of mass adoption of products using our technology;

  • changes in technology or service pricing or cost;

  • changes in our customers' and partners' requirements, the competitive environment and/or related market conditions;

  • the relative strength of the value proposition that we offer our customers and partners with our technology and services;

  • changes in the technology of our customers and partners, as well as changes in competitive technologies;

  • challenges or delays in our technology and product development activities;

  • changes in the availability or price of raw materials, labour and supplies;

  • our ability to attract and retain business partners, suppliers, employees and customers;

  • changing government or environmental regulations, including subsidies or incentives associated with the adoption of clean energy power systems;

  • potential fluctuations in our financial and business results make forecasting difficult and may restrict our access to funding for our commercialization plan;

3

  • we are subject to risks inherent in international operations;

  • our access to funding and our ability to provide the capital required for research and development, operations, marketing efforts and working capital requirements;

  • our ability to protect our intellectual property;

  • our ability to extract value from strategic partnerships;

  • currency fluctuations, including the magnitude of the rate of change of the Canadian dollar versus the United States dollar;

  • market instability, labour and supply issues due to the COVID-19 pandemic;

  • potential merger and acquisition activities, including risks related to integration, loss of key personnel, disruptions to operations, costs of integration, and the integration failing to achieve the expected benefits of the transaction; and

  • those risks discussed in this Prospectus under the heading " Risk Factors ".

These factors are not intended to represent a complete list of the factors that could affect the Company; however, these factors should be considered carefully by prospective investors.

A number of factors could cause actual events, performance or results to differ materially from what is projected in forward-looking information. More detailed assessment of the risks that could cause actual events or results to materially differ from the Company's current expectations can be found in the Annual Information Form (as defined below) under the heading "Risk Factors" filed with the Canadian securities authorities (on SEDAR at www.sedar.com) and under the heading " Risk Factors " in this Prospectus. The purpose of forward-looking information is to provide the reader with a description of management's expectations, and such forward-looking information may not be appropriate for any other purpose. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking information contained in this Prospectus or in any document incorporated by reference. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking information are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law. The forward-looking information contained in this Prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement.

We qualify all the forward-looking information contained in this Prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein by the foregoing cautionary statements.

MARKET AND INDUSTRY DATA

Certain information in this Prospectus or in documents incorporated by reference herein is obtained from third party sources (including industry publications surveys and forecasts), including public sources, as well as, and management studies and estimates. There can be no assurance as to the accuracy or completeness of such information.

Unless otherwise indicated, the Company's estimates are derived from publicly available information released by independent industry analysts and third-party sources, as well as data from its internal research, and include assumptions made by the Company which it believes to be reasonable based on its knowledge of the industry and markets in which it operates. Although the Company believes these sources to be generally reliable, market and industry data are subject to interpretation and cannot be verified with complete certainty due to limits on the availability and reliability of raw data, the voluntary nature of the data gathering process, and other limitations and uncertainties inherent in any statistical survey. Although believed to be reliable, management of the Company has not independently verified any of the data from third party sources unless otherwise stated.

While the Company believes the market position, market opportunity, and market share information included in this Prospectus are generally reliable, such information is inherently imprecise. In addition, projections, assumptions, and estimates of the future performance of the Company and the future performance of the industry and markets in which it operates are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors, including those described under the heading " Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information " and " Risk Factors ".

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Exro provides technology products and services to manufacturers in order to optimize the performance and efficiency of powertrains and systems, including electric motors, generators and batteries. Exro's patented technology has been designed to enhance energy systems by dynamically sensing and adapting variable inputs, and optimally matching them to desired outputs, creating measurable performance gains and extended lifespan, while allowing electric motors to consume less energy. The widespread applications of the technology have been designed to optimize the performance of the mobility industry, which includes all types of electric vehicles from scooters to electric buses or larger. Management of the Company believes most variable torque applications with the need for increased torque and speed will be suitable for Exro's technology, especially in the mobility and renewable energy industries. Given that Exro's technology endeavours to improve performance and reduce energy consumption in powertrains, management of the Company believes Exro's technology is attractive to the mobility and renewable energy sectors as a technology that will return incremental dollars to a user's bottom line, and is also attractive for the corresponding environmental benefits it offers. Many electric motors are powered by energy sources that create greenhouse gases. By helping electric motors consume less energy, Exro's technology has been designed to help reduce greenhouse gases, which will benefit the planet and our ecosystems.

Currently, about 40% of electricity produced is used in electric motors and related systems, making them significant in our economy and lives.[1] Despite such widespread use, the design and technology used for such systems have remained largely unchanged for decades. In the mobility space, inherent limitations of traditional electric motor and power technologies available today are unable to support the segment's requirements for torque and speed.[2] Instead, manufacturers have traditionally compensated by adding additional motors, including heavy two-speed gearboxes or oversized motors and gearboxes.

Exro offers a power electronics solution to system optimization through implementation of its technology which has been designed to increase drive cycle efficiency, reduce system volume, reduce weight, and expand torque and speed capabilities. Our power electronics technology provides a new brain via enhanced control for motors and batteries.

Exro's inaugural product derived from its technology is the Intelligent Coil Driver (the " Coil Driver "). The Coil Driver is similar to the electric gearbox for an internal combustion engine and allows a motor to switch coil configurations to permit increased torque or increased speed. Management of the Company believes this product could have utility in many applications, particularly in the transportation and mobility sectors. In a standard motor, each pair of poles has a coil, and when that pair is energized, the magnetic field pulls the rotor. Utilizing the Coil Driver, Exro takes each

coil and breaks it into two or more coils. The switching circuitry puts the coils in series, parallel, or a combination, depending on load and speed demands at that moment.

Exro is also currently developing a new battery management software (" BMS ") technology called the Intelligent Battery Management System (the " IBMS "). Exro expects the IBMS to provide an improvement over existing BMS applications and provide the opportunity for utilizing batteries in secondary life applications, such as stationary storage. Management of the Company believes the IBMS, when fully commercialized, will allow for constant monitoring and manipulation of energy inflows and outflows. The goal is total control over the flow of energy, which would allow enhanced and more balanced storage of energy, even under changing conditions, while also making battery banks of any size inherently electrical. The first IBMS proof of concept is scheduled to be completed by the end of Q4 2020, with a stationary test storage pilot project forecast during the first half of 2021.

Exro's business model is to develop strategic partnerships with companies that are established in their respective markets, specifically those that welcome potentially disruptive innovation in their product lines and have adequate internal engineering capacity, growing sales and an existing customer base. These include companies that manufacture automotive equipment such as electric bikes, electric cars and commercial electric fleet vehicles. Management of the Company believe manufacturers of motors, generators, e-axles or power electronics would also be ideal partners for the Company, since Exro's patented technology and engineering capabilities have been designed to enhance performance characteristics of overall power systems.

As at October 31, 2020, the Company had a negative operating cash flow for the year. The Company anticipates that the proceeds of the Minimum Offering will enable the Company to achieve the business objectives set out above and to fund the Company's operations for the next three years before it projects to be cash flow positive on its own operations. The Company is dependent on the Minimum Offering to fund its operations, and if the Minimum Offering is not completed, the Company may continue to incur negative operating cash flows and will require additional financing in late 2021 to continue its operations and achieve its business objectives, as there is no assurance that sufficient revenues will be generated in the near future. See " Risk Factors ".

Subscription proceeds will be held by the Agents in trust until subscriptions for the Minimum Offering are received and other closing conditions of the Offering have been satisfied. See " Plan of Distribution ".

Since the fall of 2019, the Company has entered into eight partnerships with various types of electric vehicle production companies: Motorino, Potencia, Templar Marine Group Ltd. (" Templar "), Aurora, Clean Seed, Zero, SEA Electric and Heinzmann. The Company's current objective is to continue adding more partnerships, through discussions with potential partners and increased brand awareness with continued marketing campaigns and trade shows.

Assuming completion of the Minimum Offering, the Company intends to use a portion of the net proceeds of the Offering for research and development activities necessary to complete the proof-of-concept to market process for the Company's technology, building a functional prototype with full drivability and a high level of maturity, with the Company's current partners in the following three segments of the electric vehicle (" EV ") and IBMS markets:

All of the Company's research and development activities are undertaken in-house. Exro has been actively building its engineering team and continues to seek to recruit top talent. The Company subcontracts only material items such as mechanical build-ups. For the Company's Coil Driver, the Company subcontracts out the hardware build-up to speed up the proof-of-concept to market process to meet the target timeline. If the Maximum Offering is completed, additional funds will be available for the Company's research and development activities.

In order to continue to secure new strategic partnership arrangements, the Company requires a full business development team, including two key account managers and a project manager to develop proposals for prospective partners, and to track progress milestones closely with partners. The estimated salaries and wages for the next three years are approximately $4,900,000. The Company has also allocated $2,400,000 for conducting market research, marketing campaigns, participating in tradeshows, investor conferences, updating web content and marketing materials. If the Maximum Offering is completed, additional funds will be available for the Company's business development and marketing activities.

General and administrative expenses consist of $5,400,000 in salaries and wages for Exro's executives, accounting, and administrative staff, and $3,900,000 in regulatory fees and professional fees such as consulting, legal and audit fees, as well as other office expenses.

11

To achieve the research and development objectives of building commercially viable prototypes, the Company has expanded a testing and laboratory facility in its Calgary innovation centre. The testing facility currently has testing benches with dynamometer bays with high power programmable electronic load machines and inverter, device under test power supplies and battery bank for IBMS. The Company may acquire a manufacturing/technology company in order to assemble the Coil Driver and IBMS products once the Company's partners validate Exro's technologies and place purchase orders. Whether the Company will complete such an acquisition and on what terms has not yet been determined. If the Company does not complete such an acquisition, it is anticipated that the proceeds allocated thereto in the table above would instead be used by the Company for future research and development and working capital requirements.

The above-noted allocation represents the Company's intention with respect to its use of proceeds based on current knowledge and planning by management of the Company. Actual expenditures may differ from the estimates set forth above. There may be circumstances where, for sound business reasons, the Company reallocates the use of proceeds. See " Risk Factors – Discretion in the Use of Proceeds ".

Until applied, the net proceeds of the Offering will be held as cash balances in the Company's bank account or invested in certificates of deposit and other instruments issued by banks or obligations of or guaranteed by the Government of Canada or any province thereof or the Government of the United States or any state thereof.

The Company's goal is to become profitable as quickly as possible without stunting growth. This is expected to take place primarily through revenue generated from strategic partnerships which may include: licensing the Company's technology, hardware/software sales and service revenue.

Exro's future is focused on securing and processing strategic partnership arrangements. It is the Company's goal to evolve every collaboration into a commercial licensing arrangement. The central purpose of a collaboration will be to determine the economic benefits when the Company's technology is integrated into an electric motor and/or a generator for a particular application. This process will become more systematized as third-party commercial case studies demonstrate efficiencies in target applications.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in the Common Shares involves a high degree of risk. Before making an investment decision, prospective purchasers should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below, as well as the other information contained in or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus, including without limitation the risk factors described under the section "Risk Factors" in the Annual Information Form and under "Risks and Uncertainties" in the Annual MD&A.

These risks and uncertainties are not the only ones facing the Company. Additional risks not currently known to the Company, or that the Company currently deems immaterial, may also impair the Company's business and operations. If any such risks actually occur, the Company's business, financial condition and operating results could be materially harmed.

Failure to develop our internal controls over financial reporting as we grow could have an adverse impact on us.

As Exro matures, it will need to continue to develop and improve its current internal control systems and procedures to manage its growth. Exro is required to establish and maintain appropriate internal controls over financial reporting. Failure to establish appropriate controls, or any failure of those controls once established, could adversely impact Exro's public disclosures regarding its business, financial condition or results of operations. In addition, management's assessment of internal controls over financial reporting may identify weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal controls over financial reporting or other matters that may raise concerns for investors. Any actual or perceived weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting, disclosure of management's assessment of internal controls over financial reporting or disclosure of Exro's public accounting firm's attestation to or report on management's assessment of internal controls over financial reporting may have an adverse impact on the price of the Common Shares.

Reliance on Management and Employees

Our performance will be largely dependent on the talents and efforts of highly skilled individuals. The loss of one or more members of our management team or other key employees or consultants could materially harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Our future success depends on our continuing ability to identify, hire, develop, motivate and retain highly qualified personnel for all areas of our organization. We face competition for personnel and consultants from other companies, universities, public and private research institutions, government entities and other organizations. If we do not succeed in attracting the necessary personnel or in retaining or motivating them, we may be unable to grow effectively. In addition, our future success will depend in large part on our ability to retain key consultants and advisors. It cannot be assured that any skilled individuals will agree to become an employee, consultant, or independent contractor of the Company. Our inability to retain their services could negatively impact our business and our ability to execute our business strategy.

The Company is subject to various government laws and regulations.

We are subject to various federal, provincial and local laws and regulations affecting corporations and the trading of our securities including, but not limited to, the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), the Securities Act (British Columbia), the Income Tax Act (Canada) and the Income Tax Act (British Columbia), as well as various regulatory bodies such as the British Columbia Securities Commission, the TSXV and the OTCQB Venture Market. In the event we are unable to remain in compliance with all of the regulations applicable to the Company and its operations it could negatively impact our business and our ability to execute our business strategy.

Further, as our technology is commercialized, products using our technology may be subject to a variety of laws and regulations both domestic and international. In the event we are unable to comply with any laws and regulations affecting such products, it may have a negative material impact on our business, operations, and financial performance.

The technology industry is very competitive, and we may be unable to compete with companies with greater financial or technical resources than us, which could negatively affect our operations.

The technology industry is characterized by rapid technological developments and a high degree of competition. Access to patents and other protection for technology and products, the ability to commercialize technological

18

developments, access to necessary capital, access to market channels and the ability to obtain necessary approvals for testing, manufacturing and commercialization will impact our potential success. Continued development in different product ranges will require continued investment in research and development. Lab equipment and capital expenditures will also be required for growing to larger ratings.

Exro will be competing with other technology firms in the clean technology space or with other companies with similar technologies. These companies, as well as academic institutions, government agencies and private research organizations, also compete with us in research and development, product development, and market and brand development. Additionally, these companies all compete for highly qualified scientific personnel and consultants, and capital from investors.

Timing of the market introduction of our technology or of competitors' technologies or products may be an important competitive factor. Accordingly, the relative speed with which we can complete project development, conduct appropriate safety testing and manufacture, will also be determining factors in our ability to compete successfully in the markets we enter.

Reliance on Partners

The Company assumes that the collaborating partners will perform and deliver on development targets as agreed and planned, although there is a risk that they won't, and the corporation operates under the constraint that the partner is not under its control. A larger tier partnership may require longer development times compared to a smaller company. A smaller tier partnership may not hold enough sales volume to be worth the development efforts and resources.

Reliance on Suppliers

The Company faces a third-party risk, should suppliers for components and power electronics not deliver on one or more dimensions of scope, time and cost. The Company will reduce the probability of occurrence by ensuring that the suppliers have clear statements of work, and comprehensive design specifications to work to that are documented, reviewed and approved with participation of the supplier as well as the partner.

Management of Growth

The Company may be subject to growth-related risks including capacity constraints and pressure on its internal systems and controls. The ability of the Company to manage growth effectively will require it to continue to implement and improve its operational and financial systems and to expand, train and manage its employee base. The inability of the Company to deal with this growth may have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Unexpected challenges during product development are inherent in new technology, in that an early stage technology could present unexpected challenges that exceed the allocated resources. The Company will reduce the probability of occurrence by careful project management.

The Company expects to continue to increase operating expenses as it implements initiatives to continue to grow its business. If the Company does not achieve revenues to offset these expected operating expenses, the Company will never be profitable which would, among other things, limit the Company's ability to grow.

Technology cannot be effectively commercialized

The Company's technology is currently in the commercialization phase. There is a risk that the technology and the Company's products will not perform as expected in certain applications and therefore, the Company may encounter delays to commercialization or may run the risk that the technologies will never be successfully commercialized. This means that the Company may never receive revenues or return on its technology development.

Technical Risks

Technical risks are inherent in the development and commercialization process, in that an immature technology could present unexpected challenges that exceed the planned time or financial resources to overcome. There can be no

19

guarantee that the Company will be able to overcome technical risks associated with the development of its technology.

Additional Financing

Since inception, the Company has not generated revenues and has incurred losses and has an accumulated deficit of $25,268,264 as of December 31, 2019. As the Company has no revenue, in order to execute the anticipated growth strategy, the Company will require additional equity and/or debt financing to support on-going operations, to undertake capital expenditures or to undertake acquisitions or other business combination transactions. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to the Company when needed or on terms which are acceptable. The Company's inability to raise financing to support on-going operations or to fund capital expenditures or acquisitions could limit the Company's growth and may have a material adverse effect on the development of the technology and upon future profitability.

Ability to Protect Proprietary Rights

The Company's success will depend in part on its ability and that of its corporate collaborators to obtain and enforce and protect patents and maintain trade secrets, in Canada, the United States and in other countries. There is a risk that the Company may not be able to obtain and enforce patents and maintain its trade secrets.

Patent law relating to the scope and enforceability of claims in the fields in which we operate is still evolving. There can be no assurance that patents will issue from any of the pending patent applications. In addition, there may be issued patents and pending applications owned by others directed to technologies relevant to our or our collaborators' research, development and commercialization efforts. There can be no assurance that our or any corporate collaborators' technology can be developed and commercialized without a license to such patents or that such patent applications will not be granted priority over patent applications filed by us or one of our collaborators.

Our commercial success depends significantly on our ability to operate without infringing the patents and proprietary rights of third parties, and there can be no assurance that our and our collaborators' technologies and products do not or will not infringe the patents or proprietary rights of others.

There can be no assurance that third parties will not independently develop similar or alternative technologies to ours, duplicate any of our technologies or the technologies of our collaborators or our licensors, or design around the patented technologies developed by us, our collaborators or our licensors. The occurrence of any of these events would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Litigation may also be necessary to enforce patents issued or licensed to us or our collaborators or to determine the scope and validity of a third party's proprietary rights. We could incur substantial costs if litigation is required to defend ourselves in patent suits brought by third parties, if we participate in patent suits brought against or initiated by our collaborators or if we initiate such suits, and there can be no assurance that funds or resources would be available in the event of any such litigation. An adverse outcome in litigation or an interference to determine priority or other proceeding in a court or patent office could subject us to significant liabilities, require disputed rights to be licensed from other parties or require us or our collaborators to cease using certain technology or products, any of which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Project Management

The Company on its own or in collaboration with partners, is involved in various projects to commercialize the technology. There is inherent risk in project execution due to the structure of the project, which involves several parties undertaking specific work in different geographic locations, and having to coordinate in real time.

Operating Risk and Insurance Coverage

We currently carry insurance to protect our assets, operations and employees. While Exro believes insurance coverage can adequately address many of the material risks to which it may be exposed and is adequate and customary in its current state of operations, such insurance is subject to coverage limits and exclusions and may not be available for all risks and hazards to which we may become exposed. In addition, no assurance can be given that such insurance will

20

be adequate to cover the Company's liabilities or will be generally available in the future or, if available, that premiums will be commercially justifiable. If the Company were to incur substantial liability and such damages were not covered by insurance or were in excess of policy limits, or if Exro were to incur such liability at a time when it is not able to obtain liability insurance, its business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

Our technology may be unable to achieve broad market acceptance and, consequently, limit our ability to generate revenue and profits from new products.

Even when product development is successful our ability to generate significant revenue and profits depends on the acceptance of our products by our customers and end users of the products, such as companies or individuals purchasing vehicles incorporating our technology. The market acceptance of any product depends on a number of factors, including but not limited to awareness of a product's availability and benefits, the price and cost-effectiveness of our products relative to competing products; general competition, and the effectiveness of marketing and distribution efforts. Any factors preventing or limiting the market acceptance of our technology could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Product liability lawsuits against us could cause us to incur substantial liabilities, and we may be subject to product recalls for product defects that are self-imposed or imposed by regulators.

In the event of a failure of a future product incorporating our technology, such as a recreational vehicle or truck, we may be subject to potential product liability lawsuits. Under certain circumstances, our customers may be required to recall or withdraw the products incorporating our technology. Even if a situation does not necessitate a recall or market withdrawal, product liability claims may be asserted against the Company. Even if a product liability claim is unsuccessful, the negative publicity surrounding any assertion that the products caused illness or physical harm could adversely affect the Company's reputation and brand equity.

COVID-19 Pandemic

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and government actions to address it may have a material adverse effect on Exro's business, financial conditions and results of operation, all of which could be rapid and unexpected. The Company may face disruption to operations, supply chain delays, travel and trade restrictions and impacts on economic activity in affected countries or regions that could reduce demand for applications of Exro's technology. COVID-19 may further prevent or cause delays in delivering our technology and services, whether by direct impacts to our operations or impacts to the operations of our suppliers, customers or financial markets. Exro's strategic partnerships may similarly be affected.

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve rapidly and, as a result, it is difficult to accurately assess its continued magnitude, outcome and duration. The COVID-19 pandemic could: negatively impact levels of investment in deployments of Exro's technology; lead to prolonged disruptions of critical components, including as a result of the bankruptcy/insolvency of one or more suppliers due to worsening economic conditions; impact our customers' and partners' production volume levels, including as a result of prolonged unscheduled facility shutdowns; and result in government regulation that may adversely impact our business. COVID-19 may also represent a serious threat to the Company maintaining a skilled workforce and could be a healthcare challenge for the Company, its customers, suppliers and partners. There can be no assurance that Exro's personnel will not be impacted by COVID-19 and ultimately the Company may see its workforce productivity reduced or incur increased medical costs/insurance premiums as a result of these health risks. Additional cybersecurity risks also exist due to personnel working remotely. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has created a dramatic slowdown in the global economy generally and transportation sectors specifically, and thus demand for consumer goods with potential applications for Exro's technology. The duration of the COVID-19 outbreak and the resultant travel restrictions, social distancing, government response actions, business closures and business disruptions, can all have an impact on the Company's operations and access to capital. There can be no assurance that Exro will not be impacted by adverse consequences that may be brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic on global financial markets which may reduce share prices and financial liquidity and thereby severely limit the capital available to the Company.

21

Unfavorable global economic conditions could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations

Our business prospects and results of operations could be adversely affected by general conditions in the global economy and in the global financial markets. A severe or prolonged economic downturn, such as the recent global financial crisis, could result in a variety of risks to our business, including weaker demand for our product candidates and impairment of our ability to raise additional capital when needed on acceptable terms, if at all. A weak or declining economy could also strain our suppliers, possibly resulting in supply disruption, or cause our customers to delay making payments for our services. Any of the foregoing could harm our business, and we cannot anticipate all of the ways in which the current economic climate and financial market conditions could adversely impact our business.

If we are unable to develop sales, marketing and distribution capabilities or enter into agreements with third parties to perform these functions on acceptable terms, we may be unable to generate revenue.

Exro is still in the early stages of developing our marketing and sales capabilities. For any products we intend to introduce into the market, we will be required, at least initially, to enter into collaborations with customers and partners to perform these services. There can be no assurance that we will be able to enter into such arrangements on acceptable terms or at all. Any revenue we receive will depend upon the efforts of our customers and/or partners and there can be no assurance that our customers and. or partners will establish adequate sales and distribution capabilities or be successful in gaining market acceptance of any product. If we are not successful in commercializing any products in the future, either on our own or our customers and/or with partners, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Litigation

Exro may become party to litigation from time to time in the ordinary course of business which could adversely affect its business. Should any litigation in which the Company becomes involved be determined against the Company, such a decision could adversely affect Exro's ability to continue operating and the market price for Exro's common shares and could use significant resources. Even if the Company is involved in litigation and wins, litigation can redirect significant company resources.

The market price of the Common Shares may be subject to wide price fluctuations

The Common Shares currently trade on the TSXV in Canada and the OTCQB Venture Exchange in the United States. The market price of the Common Shares may be subject to wide fluctuations in response to many factors, including variations in the operating results of the Company, divergence in financial results from analysts' expectations, changes in earnings estimates by stock market analysts, changes in the business prospects for the Company, general economic conditions, legislative changes, and other events and factors outside of the Company's control. In addition, stock markets have from time to time experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations, which, as well as general economic and political conditions, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, could adversely affect the market price for the Common Shares.

Offering Amount

Completion of the Offering is subject to achievement of the Minimum Offering amount. Completion of the Offering also remains subject to a number of conditions precedent. There can be no certainty that the Offering will be completed. If the Offering is not completed, the Company may not be able to raise the funds required for the purposes contemplated under "Use of Proceeds" from other sources on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

If the Maximum Offering is not achieved, the Company may need significant additional financing, which it may seek to raise through, among other things, public and private equity offerings. Any equity financings will be dilutive to existing shareholders of the Company and additional financing may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all. If additional capital is not available, the Company may not be able to continue to operate its business pursuant to its business plan or the Company may have to discontinue its operations entirely.

22

Dilution

As Exro has no revenue, we rely on raising additional equity capital or incur borrowings from third parties to finance our business. The Board has the authority, without the consent of any of the Company's shareholders, to cause the Company to issue more Common Shares. Consequently, shareholders may experience more dilution in their ownership of Exro in the future. The issuance of additional Common Shares would dilute shareholders' ownership in Exro.

Limited Operating History

The Company is an early-stage business venture focused on electric motor and generator technology, and is currently pre-revenue. The Company is therefore subject to many of the risks common to early-stage enterprises, including under-capitalization, cash shortages, limitations with respect to personnel, financial, and other resources and lack of revenues. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in achieving a return on shareholders' investment and the likelihood of success must be considered in light of the early stage of operations.

Operating results for future periods are subject to numerous uncertainties and it cannot be assured that the Company will achieve or sustain profitability. The Company's prospects must be considered in light of the risks encountered by companies in the early stage of development, particularly companies in new and rapidly evolving markets. Future operating results will depend upon many factors, including, but not limited to, the Company's success in attracting necessary financing, the Company's ability to establish credit or operating facilities, the Company's ability to develop and commercialize existing and new products, the Company's ability to successfully market the Company's products, the Company's ability to attract repeat customers, the Company's ability to control operational costs, the Company's ability in retaining motivated and qualified personnel, legal and regulatory developments in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, as well as general economic conditions. It cannot be assured that the Company will successfully address any of these risks.

Dividends

The Company has no earnings or history of paying dividends, and does not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. In the event that the Company were to pay dividends such dividends would be subject to tax and potentially, statutory withholdings.

Securities or Industry Analysts

The trading market for the Common Shares will depend in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about the Company or its business. To the best of the Company's knowledge, it has research coverage from one securities analyst. If more securities or industry analysts do not commence covering the Company, the trading price for the Common Shares may be negatively impacted. If the Company obtains securities or industry analyst coverage and if one or more of the analysts who cover it downgrade the Common Shares or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about its business, the trading price of the Common Shares may decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of the Company or fails to publish reports on it regularly, demand for the Common Shares could decrease, which could cause the trading price and volume of the Common Shares to decline.

No Guarantee of a Positive Return in an Investment

There is no guarantee that an investment in the Common Shares will earn any positive return in the short term or long term. An investment in the Common Shares involves a high degree of risk and should be undertaken only by investors whose financial resources are sufficient to enable them to assume such risks and who have no need for immediate liquidity in their investment. An investment in the Common Shares is appropriate only for investors who have the capacity to absorb a loss of some or all of their investment.

Discretion in the Use of Proceeds

The Company intends to spend the funds available as stated in this Prospectus. See " Use of Proceeds ". However, there may be circumstances where, for sound business reasons, a reallocation of funds may be deemed prudent or necessary. In such circumstances, the net proceeds will be reallocated at the Company's sole discretion. Management will have discretion concerning the use of proceeds of the Offering, as well as the timing of their expenditures. As a result, an

23

investor will be relying on the judgment of management for the application of the proceeds of the Offering.

Management may use the net proceeds of the Offering in ways that an investor may not consider desirable. The results and the effectiveness of the application of the proceeds are uncertain. If the proceeds are not applied effectively, the Company's results of operations may suffer.

Negative Cash Flows

The Company had a negative operating cash flow for the financial years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 and for the six months ended June 30, 2020. To the extent that the Company has negative cash flow in any future period, the Company may be required to use net proceeds from the Offering to fund such negative cash flow from operating activities. In order to stay in business, in the absence of cash flow from operations, the Company will have to raise funding through financing activities. However, there is no certainty the Company will be able to raise funds at all or on terms acceptable to the Company in the event it needs to do so. Furthermore, additional funds raised by the Company through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities would cause the Company's current shareholders to experience dilution. Such securities also may grant rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the Company's shareholders. The Company does not have any contractual restrictions on its ability to incur debt and, accordingly, the Company could incur significant amounts of indebtedness to finance its operations. Any such indebtedness could contain restrictive covenants, which likely would restrict the Company's operations. See "Use of Proceeds".

Conflict of Interest

Certain of the Company's directors and officers may, from time to time, serve as directors or officers of other companies involved in similar businesses to the Company and, to the extent that such other companies may participate in the same ventures in which the Company may seek to participate, such directors and officers may have a conflict of interest in negotiating and concluding terms respecting the extent of such participation. Such conflicts of the Company's directors and officers may result in a material and adverse effect on Company's results of operations and financial condition.

Should one or more of these risks and uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, then actual results may vary materially from those described in forward-looking information.

As a venture issuer, the Company is not required to make representations relating to the establishment and maintenance of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting

In contrast to the certificate required for non-venture issues under National Instrument 52-109 – Certification of Disclosure in Issuers' Annual and Interim Filings (" NI 52-109 "), our certifying officers, as a venture issuer, are not required to make representations relating to the establishment and maintenance of disclosure controls and procedures (" DC&P ") and internal control over financial reporting (" ICFR "), as defined in NI 52-109. In particular, the certifying officers of the Company are not required to make any representations that they have:

  • (a) designed, or caused to be designed, DC&P to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by Exro in its annual filings, interim filings or other reports filed or submitted under securities legislation is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in securities legislation; and

  • (b) designed, or caused to be designed, ICFR to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS.

Investors should be aware that inherent limitations on the ability of certifying officers of a venture issuer to design and implement on a cost-effective basis DC&P and ICFR may result in additional risks to the quality, reliability, transparency and timeliness of interim and annual filings and other reports provided under securities legislation.

Acquisition Risks

The Company may acquire other companies in the future and there are risks inherent in any such acquisition. Specifically, there could be unknown or undisclosed risks or liabilities of such companies for which the Company is not sufficiently indemnified. Any such unknown or undisclosed risks or liabilities could materially and adversely affect the Company's financial performance and results of operations. The Company could encounter additional transaction and integration related costs or other factors such as the failure to realize all of the benefits from such acquisitions. All of these factors could cause dilution to the Company's earnings per share or decrease or delay the anticipated accretive effect of the acquisition and cause a decrease in the market price of the Company's securities. The Company may not be able to successfully integrate and combine the operations, personnel and technology infrastructure of any such acquired entity with its existing operations. If integration is not managed successfully by the Company's management, the Company may experience interruptions in its business activities, deterioration in its employee and customer relationships, increased costs of integration and harm to its reputation, all of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. The Company may experience difficulties in combining corporate cultures, maintaining employee morale and retaining key employees. The integration of any such acquired companies may also impose substantial demands on management. There is no assurance that any such acquisitions will be successfully integrated in a timely manner.
