SOLO Electrameccanica Vehicles Corporation

The 2023 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of ElectraMeccanica Vehicles Corp. (the “Company”) will be held on Thursday, December 21, 2023, at 11:00 a.m., Mountain Standard Time, for the following purposes:

Our board of directors has fixed the close of business on November 16, 2023 as the record date for determining the shareholders of record entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting or any reconvened meeting following any adjournment or postponement thereof.

The Annual Meeting will be held in a virtual-only meeting format via live webcast. You will only be able to attend the virtual Annual Meeting by using your 16-digit control number provided on your proxy card or voting instruction form and the instructions that accompanied your proxy materials. Therefore, it is important to retain these documents you receive to enable you to gain access to the virtual Annual Meeting.

Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, our board of directors requests that you vote as soon as possible. You may vote by proxy on the internet, via toll-free telephone number or, if you received a proxy card by mail, by signing, dating and mailing the proxy card in the envelope provided. Your vote is important and all shareholders are encouraged to attend the Annual Meeting and vote online or by proxy.

This proxy statement (“Proxy Statement”) is being furnished to the shareholders of ElectraMeccanica Vehicles Corp., a company existing under the laws of the Province of British Columbia (the “Company”), in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the board of directors of the Company (the “Board” or “Board of Directors”) from the Company’s shareholders for use at the Company’s 2023 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders to be held at 11:00 a.m., Mountain Standard Time, on Thursday, December 21, 2023, and any continuations, postponements or adjournments thereof (the “Annual Meeting”). The Annual Meeting will be held in a virtual-only meeting format via live webcast. To attend the Annual Meeting virtually, log in at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/SOLO2023.

On or about November 22, 2023, we began mailing proxy materials for the Annual Meeting, including this Proxy Statement, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 16, 2023 (the “Record Date”).

The Annual Meeting will be held at 11:00 a.m., Mountain Standard Time, on Thursday, December 21, 2023. The Annual Meeting will be held in a virtual-only meeting format via live webcast.

Only shareholders of record and beneficial owners of our common shares as of the Record Date may attend and participate in the Annual Meeting, including voting and asking questions during the virtual Annual Meeting. You will not be able to attend the Annual Meeting physically in person.

To attend the Annual Meeting virtually, log in at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/SOLO2023. The Annual Meeting webcast will begin promptly at 11:00 a.m., Mountain Standard Time, on Thursday, December 21, 2023. We expect online check-in to begin at least 15 minutes prior to the start of the Annual Meeting and you should allow ample time for the check-in procedures. You will only be able to attend the virtual Annual Meeting by using your 16-digit control number provided on your proxy card or voting instruction form and the instructions that accompanied your proxy materials. Therefore, it is important to retain these documents you receive to enable you to gain access to the virtual Annual Meeting.

Even if you plan on attending the Annual Meeting, we encourage you to vote your shares in advance using one of the methods described in this Proxy Statement to ensure that your vote will be represented at the Annual Meeting.

If you experience any technical difficulties during the meeting, a toll-free number will be available on our virtual shareholder meeting site for assistance.

We are leveraging technology to hold a virtual Annual Meeting that expands convenient access to, and enables participation by, shareholders from any location around the world. We believe the virtual format encourages attendance and participation by a broader group of shareholders, while also reducing the costs and environmental impact associated with an in-person meeting. In addition, we also believe that it is appropriate given ongoing global health concerns associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Our virtual Annual Meeting will allow shareholders to submit questions before and during the Annual Meeting by following the instructions provided in the webcast. During a designated question-and-answer period at the end of the Annual Meeting, we will respond to appropriate questions pertinent to the Annual Meeting submitted by shareholders. We may impose certain procedural requirements, such as limiting repetitive or follow-up questions, so that more shareholders will have an opportunity to ask questions.

The Board has provided these proxy materials to you in connection with the Board’s solicitation of proxies for use at the Annual Meeting. As a shareholder, you are invited to attend the Annual Meeting virtually and to vote online or by proxy on the proposals described in this Proxy Statement.

The proxy materials include:

Shareholders will be voting on the following matters:

Our Board recommends you vote:

We do not know of any other business that will be presented for consideration at the Annual Meeting. If any other matters are properly brought before the Annual Meeting for consideration, then the persons named as proxies will have the discretion to vote on those matters using their best judgment.

Only shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 16, 2023 (i.e., the Record Date) will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. As of the Record Date, there were 119,292,132 common shares of the Company outstanding. Each common share entitles the holder thereof to one vote for each matter to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting.

On each matter to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting, you have one vote for each common share that you owned as of the Record Date.

The presence at the Annual Meeting, in person or represented by proxy, of one-third of the votes entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. Virtual attendance at the Annual Meeting constitutes presence in person for purposes of a quorum. Abstentions, votes withheld and broker non-votes (as defined below) will be counted toward the establishment of a quorum.

Shareholders of Record. If your common shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, VStock Transfer, LLC, then you are considered the shareholder of record of those shares, and we sent the proxy materials directly to you.

Beneficial Owners of Common Shares. If your common shares are held in an account at a broker, bank or other nominee, then you are the beneficial owner of such shares held in “street name”, and the proxy materials were forwarded to you by that organization. The broker, bank or other nominee holding your account is considered the shareholder of record for purposes of voting at the Annual Meeting. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other nominee on how to vote the common shares of the Company held in your account.

There are two kinds of beneficial shareholders – those who object to their identity being made known to the issuers of securities which they own and those who do not object to the issuers of the securities they own knowing their identity.

The Annual Meeting will be held virtually to allow for greater participation. Even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting virtually, we recommend that you also submit your proxy or voting instructions as described below, so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend.

Shareholders may participate virtually in the Annual Meeting by visiting the following website: www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/SOLO2023. To participate in the Annual Meeting virtually, you will need the 16-digit control number included on your proxy card or voting instruction form and the instructions that accompanied your proxy materials. Common shares of the Company for which you are the beneficial owner may be voted electronically during the Annual Meeting if you hold a valid proxy to vote at the Annual Meeting.

You may vote without attending the Annual Meeting by granting a proxy for common shares of the Company of which you are the shareholder of record, or by submitting voting instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee for common shares of the Company that you hold beneficially in street name. In most cases, you will be able to do this by Internet or telephone, or by mail if you received a printed set of proxy materials. However, if your common shares are held in street name, the availability of telephone and Internet voting will depend on your institution’s voting procedures. A proxy can be submitted in the following ways:

The individuals named in the accompanying proxy card are officers and/or directors of or counsel for the Company. If you are a shareholder entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, you have the right to appoint a

person or company other than the person(s) designated in the proxy card, who need not be a shareholder, to attend and act for you and on your behalf at the Annual Meeting. You may do so either by inserting the name of that other person in the blank space provided in the proxy card or by completing and delivering another suitable form of proxy.

The common shares of the Company represented by the proxy card will be voted or withheld from voting in accordance with the instructions of the shareholder on any ballot that may be called for and that, if the shareholder specifies a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, such common shares will be voted accordingly.

If you are a shareholder of record and you indicate when voting on the Internet or by telephone that you wish to vote as recommended by our Board, or if you sign and return a proxy card without giving specific voting instructions, then the proxy holders will vote your common shares in the manner recommended by our Board on all matters presented in this Proxy Statement and as the proxy holders determine in their discretion on any other matters properly presented at the Annual Meeting.

If you are a beneficial owner of common shares held in street name and do not provide your broker, bank or other nominee that holds your common shares with specific voting instructions, such institution may generally vote on routine matters but cannot vote on non-routine matters. If your broker, bank or other nominee does not receive instructions from you on how to vote your common shares on a non-routine matter, such institution will not have authority to vote your common shares on that matter. This result is generally referred to as a “broker non-vote.” When votes for any particular matter are tabulated, broker non-votes will be counted for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum but will not be treated as votes cast for or against the matter. We encourage you to provide voting instructions to the broker, bank or other nominee that holds your common shares by carefully following the instructions provided in the voting instruction form.

The re-appointment of KPMG as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company until the close of the Company’s next annual general meeting (Proposal 2) is the only proposal at the Annual Meeting that we believe is routine.

The following table describes the voting requirement for each proposal (assuming a quorum is present):

The audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the financial year ended December 31, 2022 (the “Financial Statements”) and the auditor’s report thereon will be tabled at the Annual Meeting. No formal action will be taken at the Annual Meeting to approve the Financial Statements.

You may revoke your proxy and change your vote at any time before your vote is due, which deadline includes the final vote at the Annual Meeting if you have the right to vote at the virtual Annual Meeting.

If you are a shareholder of record, you may revoke your proxy in any one of the following ways:

Mere attendance at the Annual Meeting will not automatically revoke your proxy unless you vote at the Annual Meeting.

If you are a beneficial owner of common shares held in street name, you must contact your broker, bank or other nominee that holds your shares to revoke your voting instructions or change your vote.

Proxies, ballots and voting tabulations are handled on a confidential basis to protect your voting privacy. This information will not be disclosed either within the Company or to third parties, except as necessary to meet applicable legal requirements, to allow for the tabulation of votes and certification of the vote, or to facilitate a successful proxy solicitation.

We expect to announce preliminary voting results at the Annual Meeting and to publish final results in a Current Report on Form 8-K that we will file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) within four business days after the Annual Meeting and in a report of voting results that we will file in Canada on SEDAR+ promptly following the Annual Meeting.

We will bear the costs of solicitation of proxies for the Annual Meeting. Proxies may be solicited in person or by mail, telephone or electronic transmission on our behalf by our directors, officers or employees. However, we do not reimburse or pay additional compensation to our own directors, officers or other employees for soliciting proxies. The Company does not intend to send proxy materials for the Annual Meeting directly to beneficial shareholders who do not object to the Company knowing their identity (commonly referred to as “NOBOs” or “non-objecting beneficial owners”). Upon request, the Company will reimburse brokers, dealers, banks, voting trustees and their nominees who are holders of record of the Company’s common shares on the record date for the reasonable expenses incurred for mailing copies of the proxy materials to the beneficial owners of such shares.

Additionally, we have engaged Mackenzie Partners to assist in soliciting proxies in connection with the Annual Meeting on our behalf. We have agreed to pay Mackenzie Partners approximately $15,000, plus reasonable and approved out-of-pocket expenses for their services.

The Board considers good corporate governance practices to be an important factor in the overall success of the Company. National Instrument 58-101 – Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices (“NI 58-101”) requires issuers to disclose their corporate governance practices and National Policy 58-201 – Corporate Governance Guidelines provides guidance on such practices. With respect to the United States, the Company is required to comply with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) and the applicable rules adopted by the SEC pursuant to the Act, as well as the applicable NASDAQ listing standards and the NASDAQ marketplace rules (the “NASDAQ Rules”). This section sets out the Company’s approach to corporate governance and addresses the Company’s compliance with NI 58-101, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the NASDAQ Rules.

The Board is responsible for the stewardship of the Company and supervises the management of the business and affairs of the Company, with a goal of enhancing long-term shareholder value. A copy of the Board Mandate is available on the Company’s website at https://ir.emvauto.com/governance/governance-documents/default.aspx.

The Board of Directors facilitates its independent supervision over management of the Company through frequent meetings of the Board of Directors at which members of management or non-independent directors are not in attendance and by retaining independent consultants where it deems necessary.

The Board is currently comprised of nine directors: Steven Sanders (Chairman), Susan Docherty, Jerry Kroll, Luisa Ingargiola, Joanne Yan, David Shemmans, Michael Richardson, Bill Quigley, and Dietmar Ostermann. Messrs. Kroll and Quigley will not be standing for re-election at the Annual Meeting.

The Board has determined that eight out of the nine directors of the Company (or approximately 89% of the nominees), namely, Messrs. Sanders, Kroll, Shemmans, Richardson, Quigley, and Ostermann and Mses. Ingargiola and Yan, have no material relationship with the Company, either directly or indirectly, which could, in the opinion of the Board, be reasonably expected to interfere with the exercise of such individual’s independent judgment, and are “independent” within the meaning of such term under the applicable NASDAQ Rules and NI 58-101. Ms. Docherty is not independent by virtue of her position as Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Operating Officer of the Company.

The directors who are independent within the meaning of such term under NI 58-101 meet in executive session, without the presence of the Company’s non-independent director and executive officers, in conjunction with each regularly scheduled meeting of the Board and at other meetings as appropriate. The Board encourages its independent directors to meet formally or informally without the non-independent director or any executive officer being present on an as-needed basis. In addition, the small size of the Board helps to create an atmosphere conducive to candid and open discussion among all directors.

There are currently no family relationships between any of the members of our Board of Directors or our executive officers.

Currently, the positions of Chair of the Board and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) are separated, and the Chair of the Board is an independent director. Under the Board Mandate, if the Chair of the Board is not an independent director, the independent directors must designate an independent director to act as lead director. The Board currently believes that separating the roles of Chair and CEO is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders and represents the most effective leadership structure for the Company.

The Board has written position descriptions for the Chair of the Board, the chair of each committee of the Board and the CEO. The Board Mandate sets out in writing the responsibilities of the Board for supervising executive officers of the Company.

When new directors are appointed, they receive orientation regarding the nature and operation of the Company’s business and its strategy and as to the role of the Board and its committees, as well as the contribution a director is expected to make (including the commitment of time and energy that the Company expects from its directors). Directors are periodically updated on these matters.

In order to orient new directors as to the nature and operation of the Company’s business, they are given an opportunity to meet with executive officers to discuss the Company’s business and activities. In addition, new directors receive copies of Board materials, corporate policies and procedures, and other information regarding the business and operations of the Company.

Board members are expected to keep themselves current with industry trends and developments and are encouraged to communicate with executive officers and, where applicable, auditors and advisors of the Company. Board members have access to the Company’s external and in-house legal counsel in the event of any questions or matters relating to their corporate and director responsibilities and to keep themselves current with changes in legislation. Board members have full access to the Company’s records. In addition, Board meetings regularly include presentations by the Company’s management and employees to give the directors additional insight into the Company’s business.

The Board is responsible for identifying the principal risks of the Company’s business and ensuring that those risks are effectively managed, and the Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing and monitoring the processes relating to financial reporting risk management and reviewing the adequacy of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Members of the executive management team are responsible for managing the day-to-day risks facing the Company’s daily operations.

The Board satisfies its risk management responsibility through receipt of full reports from each committee chair regarding the committee’s considerations and actions with respect to potential risks faced by the Company, as well as through regular reports from officers responsible for oversight of particular risks within the Company. For urgent matters, the CEO will raise a potential risk to the Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Board for guidance. At that stage, the Chairman or Vice Chairman, as applicable, decides to either update the entire Board or the necessary committee chair. The Board believes that full and open communication between management and the Board is essential for effective risk management and oversight.

The Board has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, which applies to the Company’s directors, officers and employees. The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics sets out the Board’s expectations for the conduct of such persons in their dealings on behalf of the Company. The Board of Directors is responsible for monitoring compliance with the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.

Pursuant to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, a director is required to avoid situations involving a conflict or potential conflict of interest. It is the Board’s practice that a director with a conflict of interest recuse himself or herself from any discussion or decision on any matter in which the director is precluded from voting as a result of such conflict of interest. The Board also complies with the conflict of interest provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the “BCBCA”), as well as the relevant securities regulatory instruments, to ensure that directors exercise independent judgment in considering transactions and agreements in respect of which a director or executive officer has a material interest.

A copy of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is available on the Company’s website at https://ir.emvauto.com/governance/governance-documents/default.aspx. The Company intends to disclose any amendment or waiver of a provision of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics requiring disclosure under applicable rules with respect to any of the Company’s executive officers or directors on its website within four business days of such amendment or waiver at https://www.emvauto.com/.

The Board held four meetings during the year ended December 31, 2022. Each member of the Board attended at least 75% of the aggregate of all meetings of the Board during the period for which he or she served as a Board member:

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Audit Committee held four meetings, the Compensation Committee held one meeting, and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee did not hold any meetings. All Board members attended at least 100% of all committee meetings on which he or she served during the periods for which he or she served on the committee for the year ended December 31, 2022, except that Mr. Richardson did not attend the Compensation Committee meeting held during such year.

The Company does not have a written policy requiring members of the Board to attend the annual general meeting of shareholders, but attendance is encouraged. Three members of the Board attended the Company’s 2022 annual general meeting of shareholders.

The standing committees of the Board consist of the Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”), the Compensation Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (the “N&CG Committee”). The responsibilities of these committees are described below. The Board may also establish other standing committees to assist it in its responsibilities. The following table summarizes the current membership of the Board and each of its standing committees:

The Board has adopted a charter for each of the standing committees that addresses the composition and function of such committee. Copies of such materials are available on the Company’s website at https://ir.emvauto.com/governance/governance-documents/default.aspx.

The Audit Committee is currently comprised of Luisa Ingargiola (Chair), Steven Sanders, Dave Shemmans, Bill Quigley and Dietmar Ostermann. Each member of the Audit Committee is considered to be “independent” under

applicable NASDAQ Rules and SEC rules. The Board has determined that Luisa Ingargiola, the Chair of the Audit Committee, qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” for purposes of the SEC’s rules. As per SEC rules, the designation of Ms. Ingargiola as an audit committee financial expert does not make her an “expert” for any purpose, impose any duties, obligations or liabilities on her that are greater than those imposed on other members of the Audit Committee and the Board who do not carry this designation, or affect the duties, obligations or liabilities of any other member of the Audit Committee or the Board.

The Audit Committee oversees our accounting and financial reporting processes and the audits of the financial statements of our Company. The Audit Committee is responsible for, among other things:

The responsibilities and operation of the Audit Committee are set out in the Audit Committee Charter, a copy of which is available on the Company’s website at

https://ir.emvauto.com/governance/governance-documents/default.aspx.

The Compensation Committee is currently comprised of Dave Shemmans (Chair), Mike Richardson, Luisa Ingargiola, Joanne Yan and Dietmar Ostermann. Each member of the Compensation Committee is considered to be “independent” within the meaning of such term under applicable NASDAQ Rules and NI 58-101.

The Compensation Committee is responsible for, among other things, the approval of compensation of the executive officers of the Company and making recommendations to the Board with respect to the compensation of the directors of the Company. No officer may be present when his or her compensation is being considered or determined by the Committee.

The responsibilities and operation of the Compensation Committee are set out in the Compensation Committee Charter, a copy of which is available on the Company’s website at

https://ir.emvauto.com/governance/governance-documents/default.aspx.

The N&CG Committee is currently comprised of Steven Sanders (Chair), Mike Richardson, Dave Shemmans and Dietmar Ostermann. Each member of the N&CG Committee is considered to be “independent” within the meaning of such term under applicable NASDAQ Rules and NI 58-101. The N&CG Committee is responsible for, among other things, making recommendations to the Board regarding an appropriate organization and structure for the Board; evaluating the size, composition, membership qualifications, scope of authority, responsibilities, reporting obligations and charters of each committee of the Board; periodically reviewing and assessing the adequacy of the Company’s corporate governance principles as contained in the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Charter and, should it deem it appropriate, it may develop and recommend to the Board for adoption of additional corporate governance principles; periodically reviewing the Company’s articles (the “Articles”) in light of existing

corporate governance trends, and recommending any proposed changes for adoption by the Board or submission by the Board to the Company’s shareholders; considering, adopting and overseeing all processes for evaluating the performance of the Board, each committee and individual directors; and reviewing and assessing its own performance on an annual basis.

The responsibilities and operation of the N&CG Committee are set out in the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Charter, a copy of which is available on the Company’s website at https://ir.emvauto.com/governance/governance-documents/default.aspx.

The N&CG Committee is responsible for identifying and screening potential candidates and recommending qualified candidates to the Board for nomination. The N&CG Committee seeks to ensure that the Board is comprised of members whose particular experience, qualifications, attributes and skills, when taken together, will allow the Board to satisfy its oversight obligations effectively. The N&CG Committee typically solicits recommendations for nominees from persons who the committee believes are likely to be familiar with the needs of the Company and qualified candidates, such as Board members, management, advisors or executive search firms or agencies. In selecting Board candidates, the N&CG Committee’s goal is to identify persons who it believes have appropriate expertise and experience to contribute to the oversight of a company of the Company’s nature while also reviewing other appropriate factors, including those discussed below under “Qualifications of Director Nominees.”

The Articles contain advance notice provisions setting out advance notice requirements for the nomination of directors of the Company by a shareholder (who must also meet certain qualifications outlined in the Company’s articles) (the “Nominating Shareholder”) at any annual general meeting of shareholders, or for any special meeting of Shareholders if one of the purposes for which the special meeting was called was the election of directors (the “Advance Notice Requirements”). The following description is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the applicable provisions of the Articles which were filed as Exhibit 3.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 22, 2023.

In addition to any other applicable requirements, for a nomination to be made by a Nominating Shareholder, the Nominating Shareholder must give timely notice of such nomination in proper written form to the secretary of the Company at the principal executive offices of the Company. To be timely, a Nominating Shareholder’s notice to the secretary must be made: (i) in the case of an annual general meeting of shareholders, not less than 30 nor more than 65 days prior to the date of the annual general meeting of shareholders; provided, however, that in the event that the annual general meeting of shareholders is to be held on a date that is less than 50 days after the date (the “Notice Date”) on which the first public announcement of the date of the annual general meeting was made, notice by the Nominating Shareholder may be made not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the Notice Date; and (ii) in the case of a special meeting (which is not also an annual general meeting) of shareholders called for the purpose of electing directors (whether or not called for other purposes as well), not later than the close of business on the 15th day following the day on which the first public announcement of the date of the special meeting of shareholders was made. The Articles also prescribe the proper written form for a Nominating Shareholder’s notice.

The chairperson of the meeting has the power and duty to determine whether a nomination was made in accordance with the notice procedures set forth in the Articles and, if any proposed nomination is not in compliance with such provisions, the discretion to declare that such defective nomination will be disregarded.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may, in its sole discretion, waive any requirement in the Advance Notice Requirements.

The Board and the N&CG Committee believe that each of the persons nominated for election at the Annual Meeting have the experience, qualifications, attributes and skills that, when taken as a whole, will enable the Board to satisfy its oversight responsibilities effectively. The Board and the N&CG Committee consider the following for each candidate, among other qualifications deemed appropriate, when evaluating the suitability of candidates for nomination as director: independence; conflicts of interest; ability and willingness to commit sufficient time to the Board; integrity; personal and professional ethics; business judgment; qualifications, attributes, skills and/or experience relevant to the Company’s business; educational and professional background; personal accomplishment; and cultural, gender, age, and ethnic diversity.

Directors are elected to serve until their successors are duly elected and qualified.

The Board has adopted a written policy concerning diversity on the Board and with respect to executive officers (the “Diversity Policy”). The Board believes that having a diverse Board and executive team is important to attract and maintain a Board and executive team that has the appropriate mix of diversity, skill and expertise required to achieve the Company’s objectives and deliver for its stakeholders. The Company believes that diversity mitigates the risk of group think, ensures that the Company has the opportunity to benefit from all available talent and enhances, among other things, its organizational strength, problem-solving ability and opportunity for innovation. The Diversity Policy states, among other things, that the N&CG Committee and the Board, as applicable, should consider diversity criteria including, but not limited to, gender, age, ethnicity and cultural diversity when considering the composition of the Board and the executive team. There are currently three women on the Board (representing 33% of the directors of the Company) and two women in executive officer positions (representing 50% of the executive officers of the Company).

The Company has not adopted numerical targets regarding the representation of women or persons with other self-identified diversity characteristics, such as race, ethnicity, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation or cultural background, on the Board or in executive officer positions. However, the Company monitors the level of representation of women and persons with other self-identified diversity characteristics on the Board and in senior management positions.

The tables below provide information relating to certain voluntary self-identified characteristics of our directors. Each of the categories listed in the table below has the meaning as set forth in NASDAQ Rule 5605(f).

Shareholders who wish to communicate with the Board or any individual director may do so by mail to our Corporate Secretary at 6060 Silver Drive, Third Floor, Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada, V5H 0H5, Attention: Corporate Secretary. Any such communication is promptly distributed to the director or directors named therein unless such communication is considered, either presumptively or in the reasonable judgment of our Corporate Secretary, to be improper for submission to the intended recipient or recipients. Examples of communications that would presumptively be deemed improper for submission include, without limitation, solicitations, communications that raise grievances that are personal to the sender, communications that relate to ordinary business matters that are not within the scope of the Board’s responsibilities, communications that do not relate directly or indirectly to the Company and communications that are frivolous in nature.

Pursuant to the Company’s Anti-Hedging and Pledging Policy, directors, officers and employees are prohibited from (i) purchasing financial instruments, including prepared variable forward contracts, instruments for the short sale or purchase or sale of call or put options, equity swaps, collars, or units of exchangeable funds that are based on fluctuations of the Company’s debt or equity instruments, that are designed to or that may reasonably be expected to have the effect of hedging or offsetting a decrease in the market value of any securities of the Company, and (ii) purchasing Company securities on a margin or otherwise pledge Company securities as collateral for a loan, in each case unless otherwise previously approved by the N&CG Committee.

A violation of the Anti-Hedging and Pledging Policy will be subject to disciplinary action, which may include termination of employment and/or restrictions on future participation in the Company’s incentive equity plans.

The Board is responsible for assessing annually the effectiveness of the Board as a whole, the Board committees and the contribution of individual directors. Assessments of the Board and its committees will consider the Board Mandate and the relevant committee charter, as the case may be. Assessments of individual directors will consider the applicable position description and the competencies and skills each individual director is expected to bring to the Board.

The Board has not adopted minimum share ownership requirements for its directors or executive officers.

The following biographies describe the business experience of each of the Company’s executive officers, except for Susan Docherty, our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Operating, Officer whose biography is provided under the heading “Proposal One: Election of Directors.” There are no arrangements or understandings pursuant to which any of our executive officers was or is to be selected as an officer.

No proposed director of the Company is, or within the ten years before the date of this Proxy Statement has been, a director, chief executive officer or chief financial officer of any company that:

No proposed director of the Company:

No proposed director of the Company has been subject to: (a) any penalties or sanctions imposed by a court relating to securities legislation or by a securities regulatory authority or has entered into a settlement agreement with a securities regulatory authority; or (b) any other penalties or sanctions imposed by a court or regulatory body that would likely be considered important to a reasonable securityholder in deciding whether to vote for a proposed director.

Director nominees receiving affirmative votes at the Annual Meeting will be elected to the Board, provided that the number of nominees does not exceed the number of available seats on the Board. If the number of duly nominated nominees exceeds the number of available seats on the Board, nominees receiving the greatest number of affirmative votes will be elected as directors. For the purpose of determining the number of votes cast, affirmative and withheld votes will be counted. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the vote.

At the Annual Meeting, shareholders will be asked to re-appoint KPMG as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company until the close of the Company’s next annual general meeting, based on the recommendation of the Audit Committee and the Board. The Audit Committee and the Board believe the continued retention of KPMG as our independent registered public accounting firm is in the best interests of the Company and our shareholders. KPMG has been our independent registered public accounting firm since 2018.

Representatives of KPMG are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting. They will have an opportunity to make a statement if they so desire and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Affirmative votes are required to be cast in order for the proposal to be approved. For the purpose of determining the number of votes cast, affirmative and withheld votes will be counted. Broker non-votes (none of which are expected) will have no effect on the outcome of the vote.

Under Section 14A of the Exchange Act, our shareholders are entitled to a non-binding advisory vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this Proxy Statement. As discussed in more detail in the section entitled “Executive Compensation” in this Proxy Statement, we have designed our executive compensation program to align our executive officers’ interests with those of our shareholders, as well as to attract and retain our leadership team in a highly competitive talent market and to motivate them to achieve our business objectives. This proposal, commonly known as a “say-on-pay” proposal, gives our shareholders the opportunity to express their views on our named executive officers’ compensation.

The Board endorses our executive compensation program and recommends that our shareholders vote in favor of the following resolution:

Because your vote is advisory, it will not be binding upon us, the Board or our Compensation Committee. However, we value our shareholders’ opinions, and the Board and our Compensation Committee will consider the outcome of this proposal when determining future executive compensation arrangements.

This proposal will be approved if a majority of the votes cast are voted in favor of the proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be treated as votes cast, and therefore will have no effect on the outcome of the vote.

In addition to providing our shareholders with the opportunity to cast an advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers (see Proposal 3), we also are seeking a non-binding, advisory vote on how frequently such say-on-pay vote should be presented to our shareholders. At the Annual Meeting, our shareholders will be given the opportunity to vote on whether they prefer to have future say-on-pay votes occur:

In accordance with SEC rules, our shareholders will have the opportunity at least every six years to recommend the frequency of future say-on-pay votes.

The Board believes that future say-on-pay votes should occur every three years. The Board believes that holding a say-on-pay vote every three years offers the closest alignment with the Company’s approach to executive compensation and its underlying philosophy that seek to enhance the long-term growth of the Company and to attract, retain and motivate our executive officers over the long term. The Board believes a three-year cycle for the advisory vote on executive compensation will provide investors the most meaningful timing alternative by which to evaluate the effectiveness of our executive compensation strategies and their alignment with the Company’s business and results of operations. It will also minimize the administrative, compliance and other corporate expenses associated with holding say-on-pay votes more frequently (e.g., every year or every two years).

Because the vote on this proposal is advisory in nature, it will not be binding on the Board. However, the Board will consider the outcome of the vote along with other factors when making its decision about the frequency of future say-on-pay votes.

The option of one year, two years or three years that receives the greatest number of votes will be considered the preferred frequency selected by our shareholders. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be treated as votes cast, and therefore will have no effect on the outcome of the vote.

Our named executive officers (“NEOs”) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 (“Fiscal 2022”) consisted of:

The Company’s compensation philosophy for 2022 was a performance-based compensation design to align NEO compensation with shareholder interests. We believe that to be successful we must hire and retain talented leadership. We recognize that there is significant competition for qualified executives within the global automotive sector with a focus on building electric motor vehicles. It can be particularly challenging for companies to recruit executive officers of the caliber necessary to achieve our short-term and long-term objectives. Accordingly, our executive compensation programs are intended to attract and retain this leadership team in a highly competitive talent market and to motivate them to achieve our business objectives. We believe that the changes made to our leadership team provide us with the skill set necessary to support our near-term objectives and create long-term value for our shareholders, grow our business and assist in the achievement of our strategic goals.

Our NEO compensation program provides a total compensation package, composed of a mix of cash and equity compensation, that we believe is appropriate to attract and retain our leadership team.

The Compensation Committee is responsible for ensuring the named executive base salaries and short-term incentives are market competitive and that executive compensation fits within peer group and market compensation data ranges.

The Compensation Committee utilizes an independent compensation consultant to research, design and recommend compensation ranges for the executive team. During 2022, the Committee engaged Global Governance Advisors (“GGA”) as its independent compensation consultant. GGA assisted the Compensation Committee in developing a compensation peer group to use as a reference when making compensation decisions. GGA also conducted a review of the compensation of our executive officers, as well as support on other ad hoc matters throughout the year.

In Fiscal 2022, the Compensation Committee assessed the independence of GGA and determined that no conflict existed that would prevent GGA from independently representing the Compensation Committee.

The table below sets forth the companies that comprise the peer group (the “Peer Group”) used by GGA to provide benchmark data to the Compensation Committee to determine the appropriate compensation ranges for the 2022 executive compensation program. The Peer Group was developed based on companies that met the following criteria:

The approach used in selecting the Peer Group ensures that the Company’s executives are being benchmarked against positions that require similar skill sets and experience within the key sectors that employ the talent required to lead the Company. The Peer Group was recommended and approved to the Compensation Committee in the fourth quarter of 2021 by the then CEO and was used for the 2022 executive compensation determination.

The below summary tables outline the key components of the NEO compensation packages in 2022.

Base salaries are designed to provide a stable source of income for our NEOs. In general, base salaries are established to be market competitive to attract and retain qualified executives. Base salaries are reviewed regularly considering several factors including the executive’s experience, responsibilities, and Peer Group compensation. The base salaries of our NEOs during Fiscal 2022 were as follows:

Starting in 2022 with the adoption of a formulaic scorecard, our annual cash bonus opportunities are designed to incentivize our NEOs to achieve the required performance of key annual objectives. Each of our NEOs has a target bonus expressed as a percentage of the officer’s base salary. Several factors were considered in developing the target bonus opportunities, including the executive’s responsibilities, base salary, our projected corporate performance, growth, and Peer Group compensation. Since the performance goals for Fiscal 2022 were not achieved, no payouts were made to the NEOS under the STIP for Fiscal 2022.

On May 29, 2020, with the prior recommendations from GGA, the Board passed a resolution to adopt the Company’s 2020 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Stock Incentive Plan”), subject to, and effective upon, the approval of the Company’s shareholders. The Stock Incentive Plan provides flexibility to the Company to grant equity-based incentive awards (each, an “Award”) in the form of stock options (each, an “Option”), restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance stock units (“PSUs”) and deferred stock units (“DSUs”). The Stock Incentive Plan was approved by Company shareholders on July 9, 2020 and, accordingly, all future grants of equity-based Awards will be made pursuant to, or as otherwise permitted by, the Stock Incentive Plan, and no further equity-based awards will be made pursuant to the Company’s prior Stock Option Plan.

The purpose of the Stock Incentive Plan is to, among other things, provide the Company with a share-related mechanism to attract, retain and motivate qualified directors, employees and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries, to reward such of those directors, employees and consultants as may be granted awards under the Stock Incentive Plan by the Board from time to time for their contributions toward the long-term goals and success of the Company, and to enable and encourage such directors, employees and consultants to acquire shares as long-term investments and proprietary interests in the Company.

The below chart outlines the process and timeline of the Compensation Committee’s process for determining NEO compensation. For the below chart we will demonstrate the exercise for setting the 2022 compensation.

The Compensation Committee is responsible for the oversight and governance of the executive compensation program, including:

With the assistance of an external advisor, the Compensation Committee is also responsible for assessing the competitiveness of the executive compensation program annually, including a periodic pay-for-performance analysis.

The Compensation Committee is responsible for reviewing and approving annual disclosure related to executive compensation.

The Compensation Committee is responsible for assessing the plan design to identify and mitigate any risk associated with the Company’s compensation policies and practices that could incentivize an executive or other employee to take inappropriate or excessive risk that could otherwise have a material adverse effect on the Company.

The Committee is also involved in the recommendation and approval process of the following:

The following Summary Compensation Table sets forth the compensation earned by or paid to our NEOs for Fiscal 2022 and the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 (“Fiscal 2021”):

The following table sets out information about outstanding equity awards held by our NEOs as of December 31, 2022:

We have no pension plans that provide for payments or benefits at, following or in connection with retirement.

As required by Section 953(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship between executive compensation actually paid to our principal executive officer (“PEO”) and non-PEO NEOs versus certain measures of financial performance of the Company.

The following graph describes the relationship between the amount of compensation actually paid to our PEO for the applicable year and the average amount of compensation actually paid to the Company’s non-PEO NEOs as a group and the Company’s cumulative TSR over the two years presented in the table.

The following graph describes the relationship between the amount of compensation actually paid to our PEO for the applicable year and the average amount of compensation actually paid to the Company’s non-PEO NEOs as a group and the Company’s net loss over the two years presented in the table.

The Board’s total compensation consists of a retainer (which differs between the Board Chair and other members) and a deferred share units (“DSU”) grant. There are additional cash payments for the chair of a committee and committee member.

We also reimburse out-of-pocket costs that are incurred by the directors.

The below chart outlines the process and timeline of the Compensation Committee’s process for determining independent director compensation. For the below chart we will demonstrate the exercise for setting the 2022 compensation.

GGA, the Company’s independent compensation consultant, has made recommendations on appropriate compensation mix between cash retainers and equity. GGA recommended a cash retainer amount and an equity value that, when added together, equals the total compensation for the directors. The recommendation sets out a lower cash retainer with a higher equity value. After careful consideration and discussion, the Compensation Committee made the decision to allow each director to allocate their own compensation mix using the total compensation value resulting in varying retainer payment amounts as outlined in this Director Compensation section. The below table sets forth GGA’s the recommended compensation mix.

The below target compensation mix, as determined by the directors individually, is accurate as of December 31, 2022. These do not reflect the actual take-home compensation; the following section provides director compensation annualized.

The following table sets forth information relating to the actual compensation paid to our non-executive directors for the year ended December 31, 2022:

The Audit Committee oversees the financial reporting process of the Company on behalf of the Board. Management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process, including the systems of internal controls. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 with management, including a discussion of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments, and the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements.

The Audit Committee has discussed with KPMG, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm that was responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of those audited financial statements with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, its judgments about the Company’s accounting principles and the other matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) and the SEC. The Audit Committee has received from KPMG the written disclosures and the letter required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and the Audit Committee has discussed with KPMG their independence. The Audit Committee has considered the effect of non-audit fees on the independence of KPMG and has concluded that such non-audit services are compatible with the independence of KPMG.

The Audit Committee discussed with KPMG the overall scope and plans for its audits. The Audit Committee meets with the independent registered public accounting firm, with and without management present, to discuss the results of its audits and quarterly reviews, its observations regarding the Company’s internal controls, and the overall quality of the Company’s financial reporting.

In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board, and the Board has approved, that the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for filing with the SEC.

The following is an aggregate of fees billed for each of the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by KPMG:

This category includes the aggregate fees billed by KPMG for the audit of our annual financial statements and reviews of interim financial statements that are provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements.

Audit related fees are the aggregate fees billed by KPMG for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements and are not described in the preceding category.

Tax fees are billed by KPMG for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning.

All other fees include fees billed by KPMG for products or services other than as described in the immediately preceding three categories.

Our Audit Committee is responsible for the pre-approval of audit and permitted non-audit services to be performed by our independent registered public accounting firm. Our Audit Committee will, on an annual basis, consider and, if appropriate, approve the provision of audit and non-audit services by our independent registered public accounting firm. Thereafter, the Audit Committee will, as necessary, consider and, if appropriate, approve the provision of additional audit and non-audit services by our independent registered public accounting firm which are not encompassed by our Audit Committee’s annual pre-approval and are not prohibited by law. Our Audit Committee has the authority to pre-approve, on a case-by-case basis, non-audit services to be performed by our independent registered public accounting firm. Our Audit Committee has approved all audit and permitted non-audit services performed by KPMG for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022.

The following table shows information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common shares as of November 16, 2023 by:

Beneficial ownership of shares is determined under the rules of the SEC and generally includes any shares over which a person exercises sole or shared voting or investment power. Common shares of the Company of which a person has the right to acquire beneficial ownership at any time within 60 days of November 16, 2023 are deemed outstanding and beneficially owned by the person for the purpose of computing the number of common shares of the Company and percentage beneficially owned by such person, but are not deemed outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage beneficially owned by any other person. To our knowledge, except as indicated in the footnotes to this table and pursuant to applicable community property laws, the persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all common shares shown as beneficially owned by them.

The percentage of common shares of the Company beneficially owned in the table is based on 119,292,132 shares of our common shares of the Company outstanding as of November 16, 2023.
