Some data is also based on the good faith estimates of Lion Electric and Northern Genesis, which are derived from their respective reviews of internal sources as well as the independent sources described above. This Presentation contains preliminary information only, is subject to change at any time and, is not, and should not be assumed to be, complete or to constitute all the information necessary to adequately make an informed decision regarding your engagement with Lion Electric and Northern Genesis.

USE OF PROJECTIONS AND KEY ASSUMPTIONS This Presentation contains projected financial information with respect to Lion Electric. Such projected financial information constitutes forward - looking information, and is for illustrative purposes only and should not be relied upon as necessarily being indicative of future results. The assumptions and estimates underlying such financial forecast information are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic, competitive and other risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the prospective financial information. See “Forward - Looking Statements” paragraph above. Actual results may differ materially from the results contemplated by the financial forecast information contained in this Presentation, and the inclusion of such information in this Presentation should not be regarded as a representation by any person that the results reflected in such forecasts will be achieved. Neither Northern Genesis’ nor Lion Electric’s independent auditors have audited, reviewed, compiled or performed any procedures with respect to the projections for the purpose of their inclusion in this Presentation, and accordingly, neither of them expressed an opinion or provided any other form of assurance with respect thereto for the purpose of this Presentation. In preparing and making certain forward - looking statements contained in this presentation, Lion Electric and Northern Genesis made a number of economic, market and operational assumptions. Notably, statements regarding the Company’s 2024 vision, and summary financial forecast are, without limitation, subject to material assumptions regarding the Company’s ability to economically manufacture and distribute its products at scale and meet its customers’ business needs, the Company’s ability to successfully execute its growth strategy, including planned additions to plant, property and equipment, the Company’s ability to maintain required strategic supply arrangements, rates of adoption of battery electric vehicles by customers in the markets in which t he Company operates, continuation of favorable regulations and government incentives affecting the markets in which the Company operates. The Company cautions that its assumptions may not materialize and that current economic conditions render such assumptions, although believed reasonable at the time they were made, subject to greater uncertainty. FINANCIAL INFORMATION; NON - IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES The financial information and data contained in this Presentation is presented in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (‘‘IFRS’’), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. None of the financial information and date contained in this presentation was prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. The financial information and data contained in this Presentation is unaudited and does not conform to Regulation S - X promulgated under the Securities Act. Accordingly, such information and data may not be included in, may be adjusted in or may be presented differently in, the Registration Statement to be filed by Northern Genesis and Lion Electric with the SEC. Some of the financial information and data contained in this Presentation, such as EBITDA, EBITDA Margin and Free Cash Flow, have not been prepared in accordance with IFRS. Northern Genesis and Lion Electric believe these non - IFRS measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to Lion Electric’s financial condition and results of operations. Lion Electric’s management uses these non - IFRS measures for trend analyses, for purposes of determining management incentive compensation and for budgeting and planning purposes. Northern Genesis and Lion Electric believe that th e u se of these non - IFRS financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating projected operating results and trends in and in comparing Lion Electric’s financial measures with other similar companies, many of which present similar non - IFRS financial measures to investors. Management does not consider these non - IFRS measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with IFRS. The principal limitation of these non - IFRS financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by IFRS to be recorded in Lion Electric’s financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expense and income are excluded or included in determining these non - IFRS financial measures. CURRENCY All amounts in this presentation are expressed in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated. TRADEMARKS AND TRADE NAMES Lion Electric and Northern Genesis own or have rights to various trademarks, service marks and trade names that they use in connection with the operation of their respective businesses.
