• Acquisition of Flipturn

  Einride entered into a definitive merger agreement to acquire Flipturn, Inc., a charging and energy management software company, in an all-stock transaction valued at approximately $38.4 million at closing, with up to $33.0 million in additional earnout consideration.

• Strategic Rationale

  The acquisition adds over 250 megawatts of charging capacity and Flipturn's customer base, more than doubling Einride's energy under management and creating a fully integrated electric freight technology stack.

• Deal Structure and Dilution

  Consideration will be paid in Einride ADSs, with the number of shares determined by the VWAP from June 10, 2026, to two days before closing. At the current VWAP of ~$10/share, approximately 3.84 million ADSs would be issued at closing, representing about 2.7% of outstanding shares, with potential additional dilution from earnout shares.

• Lock-Up and Registration

  Flipturn stockholders are subject to a staggered lock-up: 25% of shares released after one month if ADS price ≥ $9.20, and the remaining 75% after six months or earlier if VWAP reaches $18.00 for 20 of 30 trading days. Einride will file a resale registration statement within 30 days post-close.

Einride is acquiring Flipturn, a charging and energy management software company, in an all-stock deal valued at approximately $38.4 million at closing, with up to $33.0 million in additional earnout consideration. The acquisition consolidates Einride's position in electric freight by integrating Flipturn's 250+ megawatts of charging capacity and its customer base, more than doubling Einride's energy under management. The deal is structured with a holdback, earnout, and lock-up provisions that stagger the release of shares to Flipturn stockholders, mitigating immediate dilution. However, the issuance of new ADSs will be dilutive to existing shareholders, especially given Einride's recent going-concern warning and the stock trading near its 52-week low. The acquisition is expected to close in Q3 2026, subject to customary conditions.
