Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On May 26, 2023, the board of directors (the “Board”) of Xos, Inc., (“Xos” or the “Company”) appointed Liana Pogosyan, the Company's Vice President of Finance, as Acting Chief Financial Officer of the Company. The Board determined that it was prudent to appoint Ms. Pogosyan as Acting Chief Financial Officer while the Company completes its evaluation of candidates to fill the Chief Financial Officer position following Kingsley Afemikhe's previously disclosed departure.

Liana Pogosyan, 39, has served as the Company's Vice President of Finance since May 2023 and previously served as the Company's Controller from January 2022 to May 2023. Prior to Xos, Ms. Pogosyan was at Marcus & Millichap, Inc., a national real estate brokerage firm, from May 2013 to January 2022, where she served in a variety of positions before becoming Vice President, Operations Controller and Financial Reporting. Prior to that, Ms. Pogosyan served as an Audit Manager at KPMG, an accounting and advisory firm, followed by serving as the Manager of Corporate Reporting at Ixia, a global test and networking company. Ms. Pogosyan holds a Master’s degree in Business Administration from the University of California at Los Angeles, a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting from the University of Southern California, and is a Certified Public Accountant.

There are no arrangements or understandings between Ms. Pogosyan and any other person pursuant to which she was appointed as an acting executive officer, nor is there a family relationship between any member of the Company's Board or any of its executive officers and Ms. Pogosyan.
