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

On October 26, 2022, XL Fleet Corp. (the “Company”) entered into a letter agreement (the “Severance Letter Agreement”) with Donald Klein, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, to provide Mr. Klein with certain severance benefits. Pursuant to the Severance Letter Agreement, in the event that Mr. Klein’s employment is terminated other than for “Cause” (and not by virtue of death or disability) or Mr. Klein resigns for “Good Reason” (as such terms are defined in the Company’s Executive Severance Policy [the “ESA”] filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Form 10-Q on August 9, 2022) on or before September 9, 2023, Mr. Klein will be treated as having experienced a COC Qualifying Termination under the ESA rather than a Qualifying Termination. The severance benefits to be granted in such event are, in summary, eighteen months of base salary; payment of an annual performance bonus (which, if such termination occurs in 2023, will be paid pro-rata based on the number of days Mr. Klein is employed in calendar year 2023) calculated on a presumed basis of meeting 100% of target goals; eighteen months of COBRA premiums; and immediate vesting of unvested, time-based equity awards that had been granted prior to the date of employment separation, along with an immediate ability to exercise any outstanding stock options.

The foregoing description of the Severance Letter Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Severance Letter Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
