Exro Provides Update on Facility Milestones
Postponement of Debenture Security
As the Company announced in its May 16, 2025 news release, advances under the Facility require Exro to meet various milestones, one of which was either (1) the postponement of security from a requisite majority of the Company's $15 million of debentures issued pursuant to an indenture dated December 30, 2022 (the " Convertible Debentures"), or (2) the redemption of the Convertible Debentures for Exro shares.
The December 30, 2022 indenture governing the Convertible Debentures (the " Indenture") has been amended to provide that the lender under the Facility has a first priority security interest on substantially all of the assets of the Company, and the Convertible Debentures now have a second priority security position, ranking pari passu with previously issued secured notes of the Company in the aggregate amount of US $70,832,830. In addition, the Indenture was amended to include a 120 day standstill period in respect of the enforcement of certain rights by the holders of the Convertible Debentures on the occurrence of an event of default under the Indenture. The amendments to the Indenture were approved by an extraordinary resolution of over 66 2/3% of the principal outstanding amount of the Convertible Debentures and are contained in an Amended and Restated Indenture dated July 11, 2025, a copy of which has been filed under the Company's profile at www.sedar.com.
Exro thanks the Convertible Debenture holders who supported the Company in this initiative.

These trucks weigh almost as much as a fully-loaded 747 jet — and no one's driving them
Article content Suncor Energy Inc. is escalating the rollout of its massive 400-tonne capacity driverless trucks, a move the company says will cut costs and improve safety, but it's also expected to eliminate jobs. Article content The company said Wednesday it plans to expand its autonomous fleet to 150 or more by the end of the year, up from just 20 trucks that were in operation in the spring of 2024. Article content Article content 'All the expected benefits, safety, direct cost, productivity . . . we are on track to see or achieve all of those, or more than we would have hoped for,' Rich Kruger, Suncor's chief executive, said Wednesday during a conference call on the company's earnings. Article content Article content Despite 'ongoing commodity price volatility' this spring, Suncor managed to collect nearly $1.7 billion in profits, up by more than $100 million from the same time last year. The company has also set records for production in each quarter of the past year, and returned $1.45 billion to its shareholders in the latest stretch. Article content When the Calgary-based company began rolling out its fleet of driverless trucks 2018, it said the move would eliminate 400 jobs overall, though Suncor also vowed to minimize the impact and retrain workers.

Article content Article content The company has seen some efficiency gains and improvement in productivity as a result, according to Peter Zebedee, an executive vice-president.

Tesla issues $29B stock grant to Musk after court blocked pay
AUSTIN, Texas: Tesla has awarded Elon Musk a US$29 billion stock grant in an effort to retain its high-profile CEO and put to rest months of uncertainty surrounding his compensation, just as the company navigates sagging sales, falling profits, and shareholder anxiety over Musk's political ties. The grant, disclosed in a regulatory filing this week, gives Musk 96 million restricted shares in what Tesla described as a "first step, good faith" move to keep him focused on the company amid his growing commitments to ventures like SpaceX and xAI. "Rewarding Elon for what he has done and continues to do for Tesla is the right thing to do," the company said, citing a $735 billion increase in Tesla's market value since 2018. Tesla noted that Musk has not received pay in years, after a Delaware court twice struck down his 2018 compensation plan, most recently in December 2023, when the court ruled the plan had been devised through "sham negotiations" with board members who lacked independence. Tesla has appealed that decision and formed a special committee in April to reevaluate Musk's compensation. To unlock the new grant, Musk must pay $23.34 per share—the exercise price under the original 2018 plan. The latest award comes as Tesla tries to calm concerns among shareholders following a 25 percent slide in its stock price this year. The drop has been fueled in part by backlash to Musk's alignment with President Donald Trump and his increasing political activity, including time spent in Washington pushing for deep federal government cuts. At the same time, Tesla faces growing competition from U.S. automakers and aggressive rivals in China. In the most recent quarter, the company's profits tumbled from $1.39 billion to $409 million, falling short of analysts' already-lowered expectations. Still, Tesla insists Musk is central to its long-term success. The company pointed to his leadership as a key reason for continued investor confidence, even as his distractions outside of Tesla have tested that confidence. "Musk remains Tesla's big asset and this comp issue has been a constant concern of shareholders once the Delaware soap opera began," wrote Wedbush analyst Dan Ives in a client note. "We believe this grant will now keep Musk as CEO of Tesla at least until 2030 and remove an overhang on the stock."
