Why are you seeking to increase the authorized shares of Workhorse common stock?

What will Workhorse use the additional capital for?
Workhorse plans to use these funds to advance our commercial EV product roadmap, grow our Aero business and invest in our facilities and other initiatives. Specifically, we plan to use the financing toward working capital, operating expenses and capital expenditures needs.
