Material Event
On October 26, 2022, XL Fleet entered into a severance letter agreement with Stacey Constas, its General Counsel.

- Eighteen months of base salary.

- Immediate vesting of unvested time-based equity awards granted before separation.
- Immediate exercisability of outstanding stock options.
