The following Motiv CEO letter was shared with the Company’s employees on August 15, 2025 : WKHS-Motiv Transaction Motiv CEO Letter to WKHS Employees A message from Motiv CEO, Scott Griffith Good Morning Workhorse team, I’m reaching out on behalf of everyone at Motiv to introduce myself and our company, and share how excited I am for our future together. As you heard from Rick this morning, Motiv is a leading manufacturer of medium duty, zero-emission trucks and buses. For more than 15 years, we’ve partnered with our customers to help them along their electrification journey, building long-term, trusted relationships along the way. Our two companies are a compelling and complementary fit, with Motiv’s diverse product portfolio and top fleet relationships joining your proven vehicles, manufacturing capabilities and national dealer network. Together, we are confident that we will be able to build and deliver the next generation of electric trucks to better help our customers decarbonize their fleets. Importantly, our discussions with the Workhorse team over the past few months have made it clear that our companies share the same values: a focus on providing opportunities for our people; driving exceptional innovation and service for our customers; and making life better for everyone along the route. We have long admired your talented team and the expertise you bring, which was one of the key reasons we were excited about this potential opportunity. I look forward to meeting with many of you in person over the coming months as we begin the integration planning process with leaders from both companies. However, until close, we continue to operate independently. The best way you can help is by doing what you do best: building the high-quality commercial EV’s that our customers need.
