On
February 4, 2024, the Company and Worksport New York Operations Corporation (“Worksport New York”) entered into a Forbearance
Agreement with Northeast Bank (the “Lender”) in connection with that certain secured loan agreement, dated May 4, 2022 (the
“Loan Agreement”), by and among the Company, as the guarantor (the “Guarantor”), Worksport New York, as the borrower
(the “Borrower”), and the Lender in connection with the Company’s purchase of its 152,847 square foot facility and
18 acres of land in West Seneca, New York on May 6, 2022 for a total purchase price of $8,150,000. Pursuant to the Forbearance Agreement,
the Lender agreed to forbear from commencing an action for judgement of foreclosure and sale, seeking an appointment of a receiver or
collecting default accrued interest under the Loan until the occurrence of a Termination Event (as defined in the Forbearance Agreement)
and the Company and Worksport waived all defenses in connection with the Worksport New York failure to maintain 1.20 to 1.0 debt service
coverage ratio of net operating income to debt service under the Loan for each of the trailing twelve (12) months ended December 31,
2023, and the indirect sale of equity securities of Worksport New York as a result of the Company’s sale equity securities in November
2023 (the “Existing Defaults”). Pursuant to the Forbearance Agreement, the definition of “Permitted Transfers”
in the Loan Agreement was amended to include the transfer of direct or indirect interest in the Company solely through a stock sale for
capital raising purposes, subject to certain conditions, including no occurrence of an Events of Default (other than the Existing Defaults),
change in ownership or control of the Company, no new 10% or greater owners, and no involvement of Sanctioned Persons. The Borrower must
provide prior notice to Lender and satisfactory reporting of the results of the capital raise. The Forbearance Agreement has been filed

● On
May 14, 2024, the Company and Worksport New York Operations Corporation (“Worksport
New York”) entered into an Omnibus Amendment of Loan Documents (the “Loan Amendment”)
with Northeast Bank (the “Lender”) in connection with that certain secured loan
agreement, dated May 4, 2022 (the “Loan Agreement”), by and among the Company,
as the guarantor (the “Guarantor”), Worksport New York, as the borrower (the
“Borrower”), and the Lender in connection with the Company’s purchase of
its 152,847 square foot facility and 18 acres of land in West Seneca, New York on May 6,
2022 for a total purchase price of $8,150,000. Pursuant to the Loan Amendment, effective
as of May 10, 2024, the Lender extended the initial maturity date of the Loan from May 10,
2024 to August 10, 2024 (the “Extended Maturity Date”). The Company also agreed
to pay the Lender an extension fee of $106,000 (the “Extension Fee”) which was
deemed fully earned as of the date of the Loan Amendment. However, the Lender agreed to postpone
payment of the Extension Fee until the occurrence of (i) the Loan not being repaid in full
by or on the Extended Maturity Date; or (ii) Loan being accelerated following an Event of
Default or Termination Date (as defined in the Forbearance Agreement). If the Loan is repaid
in full on or prior to the Extended Maturity Date, the Lender has agreed to waive the Extension
Fee. In addition to the Extension Fee, the Company agreed to pay the Lender an exit fee of
$106,000 (the “Exit Fee”) in the event the Loan is not repaid in full on or prior
to the Extended Maturity Date or if the Loan has been accelerated following an Event of Default
or in connection with a Termination Event (as defined in the Forbearance Agreement). If the
Loan is repaid in full on or prior to the Extended Maturity Date (and not as a result of
an acceleration following a Termination Event), the Company will not be required to pay the
Exit Fee. The Loan Amendment has been filed as an exhibit to this report and is incorporated
by reference herein.
