Exro announces three new board candidates, aligning with reported growth phase

CALGARY — Exro Technologies Inc., a clean-technology company that develops power-control electronics that expand the capabilities of electric motors and batteries, announced three new candidates slated for election to its Board of Directors at the Company’s Annual General Meeting, scheduled for June 30, 2023. The proposed new Board members are leaders in global growth strategy and operational leadership. Following the appointment of Interim Chairman Rod Copes, who has since moved into the position of Chairman, as voted on by the Board, this announcement aligns with the planned succession of Exro’s leadership and evolution into series production in Q3 of this year, as well as its preparations for a Nasdaq listing. Jill Bodkin, Board Director and chair of the Audit Committee, has planned to retire from the Board and will not be standing for re-election.

New Board members include:
