MINNETONKA, MN, June 24, 2024 /Globe Newswire/ -- Pineapple Energy Inc. (NASDAQ: PEGY) (“Pineapple” or the “Company”), a leading provider of sustainable solar energy and back-up power to households and small businesses encourages its shareholders to participate actively in the upcoming meeting of shareholders scheduled on July 1, 2024.

The Board of Directors emphasizes the importance of this shareholders’ vote, specifically so that the company can achieve quorum to hold its annual meeting. Please vote even if you no longer own the shares but were a shareholder of record on the record date of May 23, 2024.

Failure to secure quorum will result in the company being unable to hold its annual meeting which it needs to conduct important business matters such as the election of directors to the Company’s board of directors, to ratify the appointment of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and other matters critical to the company remaining listed on Nasdaq.

For emailed materials, check for an email from id@proxyvote.com. It is possible this may have ended up in your junk/spam folder. If you have not received or located your proxy materials, contact your brokerage firm or similar organization for your proxy control number.
