On March 26, 2024, the Issuer and ElectraMeccanica Vehicles Corp., a corporation previously existing under the laws of the Province of British Columbia (“ElectraMeccanica”), completed the previously announced transaction pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, dated as of January 11, 2024 (the “Original Arrangement Agreement”), by and between the Issuer and ElectraMeccanica, as amended by the Amendment Agreement, dated January 31, 2024 (the “Amendment Agreement” and, together with the Original Arrangement Agreement, the “Arrangement Agreement”), by and between the Issuer and ElectraMeccanica. Pursuant to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, the Issuer acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of ElectraMeccanica (the “ElectraMeccanica Shares”) pursuant to a plan of arrangement (the “Plan of Arrangement”) under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the “Arrangement”).
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Arrangement Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement, on March 26, 2024, each ElectraMeccanica Share outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Arrangement was converted automatically into the right to receive 0.0143739 of a share of Common Stock. Upon closing of the Arrangement, the number of outstanding shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock increased by 1,766,388 shares and, accordingly, the undersigned’s percentage beneficial ownership decreased proportionately.
The foregoing summary description of the completion of the Arrangement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms of (i) the Original Arrangement Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Issuer with the SEC on January 12, 2024, and is incorporated by reference into this Item 4, and (ii) the Amendment Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Issuer with the SEC on February 1, 2024, and is incorporated by reference into this Item 4.

Approximately 33% of such RSU shall vest on April 10, 2025 (the "Initial Vesting Date"), and the remainder of the RSU Award shall vest in twenty-four (24) approximately equal installments on the 10th day of each calendar month thereafter; provided that Giordano Sordoni remains in continuous service to the Issuer at each such time.
Giordano Sordoni serves as a member of the board of directors of the Issuer and, in such capacity, may have influence over the corporate activities of the Issuer, including activities which may relate to items described in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
