NOTE 14 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date of this filing.
Offering Second Tranche Closing
On April 3, 2025, the Company received the necessary approval by the Company’s stockholders in a specially called stockholder meeting to approve the issuance of the Series A Warrants, Series B Warrants and the shares of common stock underlying such warrants, in addition to other matters. On April 7, 2025, the Company closed the second tranche of its previously announced securities purchase agreement, dated February 27, 2025, with certain institutional investors for the purchase and sale of 21,720 shares (4,347,826 shares prior to the April 2025 Reverse Stock Split) of the Company’s common stock (or common stock equivalents in lieu thereof), Series A warrants to purchase up to an aggregate 86,957 shares (17,391,306 shares prior to the April 2025 Reverse Stock Split) of the Company’s common stock and Series B warrants to purchase up to an aggregate 86,957 shares (17,391,306 shares prior to the April 2025 Reverse Stock Split) of the Company’s common stock at an effective purchase price of $230.00 per share ($1.15 per share prior to the April 2025 Reverse Stock Split) (or common stock equivalents in lieu thereof) and associated warrants in a registered direct offering, which was priced at-the-market under applicable Nasdaq rules, for the second tranche gross proceeds of $5 million. Together with the approximately $15.0 million in gross proceeds from the previously announced first tranche closing completed on February 27, 2025, the Company raised approximately $20.0 million in aggregate gross proceeds from the offering before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses payable by the Company.
SUNation Long-Term Note and Earnout
As noted in Note 6, Commitments and Contingencies, on November 9, 2022, in connection with the SUNation acquisition, the Company entered into a $5,486,000 Long-Term Promissory Note (the “Long-Term Note”). On April 10, 2025 the Long-Term Note was amended and restated as follows: The principal amount of $5,486,000 previously due and payable under the original Long Term Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest owing thereunder, shall be due and payable on May 1, 2028 (the “Maturity Date”), and such amended note shall become a senior secured instrument. Principal and interest payments under the amended Long-Term Note shall be payable monthly on the first day of each month commencing with June 1, 2025 for thirty-six (36) consecutive months thereafter pursuant to the terms thereunder. Additionally, pursuant to the terms of that certain Senior Secured Contingent Note Instrument, entered into on April 10, 2025, the unearned 2024 earnout was rescheduled and shall be based on the earnout terms set forth therein pursuant to the financial conditions and terms covering each of fiscal years 2024 and 2025 and, if attained, shall be payable in fiscal year 2026, which payment is further conditioned on the continued employment of the note holders at the time of such earnout payment trigger date.
As noted in Note 12, Fair Value Measurements, the Company had a remaining earnout consideration accrual balance of $2,110,896 at March 31, 2025 related to the SUNation acquisition. On April 7, 2025, the Company paid the remaining balance to satisfy the outstanding liability in full.
Nasdaq Delisting Notice
On April 11, 2025 the Company received a letter (the “Minimum Bid Price Deficiency Letter”) from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, for the 30 consecutive business day period immediately preceding deficiency letter, the Company’s common stock had not maintained a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”) and, as a result, does not comply with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Rule”). Normally, a company would be afforded a 180-calendar day period to demonstrate compliance with the Rule (“Cure Period”); however, pursuant to Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iv), the Company is not eligible for a customary Cure Period specified in Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) due to the fact that the Company has effected a reverse stock split over the prior one-year period or has effected one or more reverse stock splits over the prior two-year period with a cumulative ratio of .
Instead, the Company is offered an opportunity to appeal any deficiency related to a delisting determination to Nasdaq by seven days from receipt of the April 2025 non-compliance notice. Following receipt of the April 2025 deficiency notice, the Company timely requested a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearing Panel. The hearing request automatically stayed any suspension or delisting action pending the hearing and the expiration of any additional extension period, if granted by the Panel, following the hearing.
Subsequent thereto, the Company has received an additional written notice from the Staff on May 13, 2025, regarding its further determination to delist the Company’s securities pursuant to its discretionary authority under Listing Rule 5101 based on public interest concerns related to the Company’s recent securities offering announced on February 27, 2025, which it determined involved the issuance of deeply discounted securities. The Company has received a Hearing Panel date, and intends to continue with the hearing panel process and does not expect to be mooted out of it based on this additional delisting compliance notice. Notwithstanding the Company’s having maintained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price requirements for nineteen (19) consecutive days as of the date of this quarterly report (in relation to the April 2025 non-compliance notice), the Hearing Panel may take into consideration in reaching its ultimate decision the Staff determination of May 13, 2025. There can be no assurance that the Hearing Panel will grant the Company an additional extension period or that the Company will ultimately regain compliance with all applicable requirements for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, the failure of which would result in a delisting of the Company’s common stock from the Nasdaq Stock Market.
April 2025 Reverse Stock Split
On April 16, 2025, the Company amended its Certificate of Incorporation (“Certificate of Amendment”) to implement a reverse stock split. The Company’s common stock began trading on a split-adjusted basis on April 21. 2025. The Company’s stockholders approved the Certificate of Amendment at a special meeting of its stockholders held on April 3, 2025. As a result of the reverse stock split, every shares of common stock then issued and outstanding automatically were combined into one share of common stock, with no change in par value per share.
