Arizona Tribune - Worksport (NASDAQ:WKSP) Announces $1.20 per Share Direct Investment at 100% Premium to Market; Institutional Investor Signals Interest in Up to $10 Million

WEST SENECA, NY / ACCESS Newswire / June 18, 2026 / Worksport Ltd. (NASDAQ:WKSP) ("Worksport" or the "Company"), a U.S.-based innovator and manufacturer of hybrid and clean energy solutions primarily for the light truck, overlanding, and global consumer goods markets, today announced a premium-priced direct investment from a specialized private investment firm based in Jericho, New York.

The direct investment was priced at $1.20 per unit (each unit consisting of one share of common stock and one warrant), representing approximately a 100% premium to Worksport's recent trading price of $0.5983, underscoring the investor's confidence in the Company's outlook and long-term growth potential. The financing also includes warrants exercisable at $1.50 per share, further aligning the transaction with potential future upside in Worksport's common stock.

The investor has also expressed interest in evaluating additional financing transactions with Worksport of up to $10 million, subject to market conditions, available registration capacity, regulatory requirements, definitive documentation, and Company approval. There can be no assurance that any additional financing will be cohttps://www.worksport.com/ted, and any such transaction would be subject to negotiation and execution of definitive agreements on terms acceptable to both parties.

Premium-Priced Capital Reflects Outside Confidence During a Key Execution Year

Worksport believes the structure of this investment is notable because it was priced at a substantial premium to the Company's recent market price. Management views the premium pricing, warrant structure, and additional financing interest as a constructive signal as Worksport continues executing against its 2026 commercial growth plan.

The investment was cohttps://www.worksport.com/ted through a registered direct offering pursuant to the Company's effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3. The initial investment amount was $250,000. D. Boral Capital LLC acted as exclusive placement agent for the offering. Investors may review the terms and conditions of the offering and the warrants in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K which will be filed with the SEC.

Financing Interest Follows Expanding Commercial Momentum

This announcement follows several recent Worksport milestones. The Company reported Q1 2026 net sales of $3.3 million, up 47.9% year over year, and gross profit of approximately $854,000, up 115.5% year over year, with gross margin improving to 26%. Worksport has also reiterated its target of reaching initial operational cash-flow positivity within 2026, driven by a quarterly revenue goal of $9M with 35% gross margins.

Worksport's recent growth plan is supported by several active business drivers, including expanded tonneau cover sales, the launch of the Company's new Nexus tonneau cover, early commercialization of SOLIS and COR, and broader B2B and B2C distribution growth. The Company also recently announced a distribution relationship with Tri-State Enterprises, projected by Worksport to become a seven-figure annual account.

In addition to its core tonneau and clean-energy product strategy, Worksport recently announced that its subsidiary, Terravis Energy, secured a newly issued U.S. patent for its ZeroFrost™ heat-pump technology. Management believes this patent strengthens the Company's long-term intellectual property position while preserving potential upside beyond Worksport's core 2026 revenue drivers.

CEO Commentary

"We believe this premium-priced investment sends an important message at a pivotal time for Worksport," said Steven Rossi, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Worksport. "Our shares have been trading at levels that we believe do not reflect the commercial progress, product portfolio, manufacturing platform, and revenue trajectory we are building. A direct investment priced at $1.20 per share, paired with $1.50 warrants and interest in evaluating up to $10 million in total financing, represents a strong vote of confidence in our direction."

Mr. Rossi continued, "The dollar amount of this initial investment is not the headline. The headline is that Worksport secured capital at a substantial premium to the market while continuing to attract interest from investors who recognize the scale of the opportunity ahead. We are focused on converting our inventory, expanding distribution, increasing sales velocity, launching high-margin products, and executing toward operational cash flow positivity. Our objective remains clear: build a stronger company, create long-term shareholder value, and position Worksport for sustained growth."
