Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

On March 9, 2026, Workhorse Group Inc. (the “Company”) posted a slide presentation and letter to shareholders on the Investors page of its website at www.workhorse.com announcing updates regarding the Company’s business and operations since the closing of the merger with Motiv Power Systems, Inc (“Motiv”). Copies of the presentation and shareholder letter are furnished as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and are incorporated herein by reference.

The information in Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K and Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or otherwise subject to the liability of such section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing, unless expressly incorporated by specific reference in such filing.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Exchange Act, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. All statements other than statements of historical fact included or incorporated by reference in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including, among other things, future events, plans and anticipated results of operations, business strategies, the anticipated benefits of the merger between the Company and Motiv (the “Merger”), the impact of the Merger on Workhorse’s business and future financial and operating results, the expected synergies from the Merger, and other aspects of either company’s operations or operating results are forward-looking statements. Some of these statements may be identified by the use of the words “plans”, “expects” or “does not expect”, “estimated”, “is expected”, “budget”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “anticipates” or “does not anticipate”, “targets”, “projects”, “contemplates”, “predicts”, “potential”, “continue”, or “believes”, or variations of such words and phrases or state that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “should”, “might”, “will” or “will be taken”, “occur” or “be achieved”. The absence of such words does not mean the statement is not a forward-looking statement.

Forward-looking statements are based on the opinions and estimates of management of Workhorse as of the date such statements are made, and they are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that may cause the actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Some factors that could cause actual results to differ include Workhorse’s ability to achieve the expected synergies and/or efficiencies; the possibility that the integration of Workhorse and Motiv may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected or that operating costs and business disruptions may be greater than expected; the risk that the price of the Company’s securities may be volatile due to a variety of factors; changes in laws, regulations, technologies, the global supply chain, and macro-economic and social environments affecting Workhorse’s business; and Workhorse’s ability to maintain compliance with Nasdaq rules and otherwise maintain Workhorse’s listing of securities on Nasdaq.

Additional information on these and other factors that may cause actual results and Workhorse’s performance to differ materially is included in Workhorse’s reports filed with the SEC, including, but not limited to, Workhorse’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, including those factors described under the heading “Risk Factors” therein, Workhorse’s subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and the risk factors contained in the Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the SEC on October 8, 2025. Copies of Workhorse’s filings with the SEC are available publicly on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or may be obtained by contacting Workhorse. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of Workhorse’s assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. These forward-looking statements are made only as of the date hereof, and Workhorse undertakes no obligations to update or revise the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
