CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains statements that are “forward-looking looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding the financial position, business strategy and the plans and objectives of management for future operations. These statements constitute projections, forecasts and forward-looking statements, and are not guarantees of performance. Such statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. When used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “strive,” “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. When the Company discusses its strategies or plans, the Company is making projections, forecasts or forward-looking statements. Such statements are based on the beliefs of, as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to, the Company’s management.

Forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may include, for example, statements about:

•

the Company’s ability to meet future liquidity requirements, which will likely require us to raise financing in the future;

•

the projected financial information, anticipated growth rate and market opportunities of the Company;

•

the Company’s ability to maintain the listing of securities on Nasdaq;

•

the Company’s ability to develop and sell its product offerings and services;

•

the Company’s ability to manage risks associated with seasonal trends and the cyclical nature of the solar industry;

•

the potential liquidity and trading of the Company's securities;

•

the Company’s ability to acquire and protect intellectual property;

•

the Company’s ability to manage risks associated with the Company’s dependence on a small number of outside contract manufacturers;

•

the Company’s ability to continue working with leading solar manufacturers;

•

the Company’s ability to respond to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and political unrest and regulatory changes in international markets into which the Company expands or otherwise operate in;

•

the Company’s ability to enhance future operating and financial results;

•

the Company’s ability to monetize its inventory on-hand;

•

the Company’s ability to retain or recruit, or changes required in, its officers, key employees or directors;

•

the Company’s ability to implement and maintain effective internal controls; and

•

factors relating to the Company’s business, operations and financial performance, including:

the Company’s ability to comply with laws and regulations applicable to its business;

market conditions and global and economic factors beyond the Company’s control;

the Company’s ability to compete in the highly competitive and evolving solar industry;

the Company’s ability to continue to develop new products and innovations to meet constantly evolving customer demands;

the Company’s ability to enter into, successfully maintain and manage relationships with partners and distributors; and

the Company’s ability to acquire or make investments in other businesses, patents, technologies, products or services to grow the business, and realize the anticipated benefits therefrom.

The Company cautions you that the foregoing list may not contain all of the forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These forward-looking statements are only predictions based on the Company’s current expectations and projections about future events and are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those described in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, in particular the risks described in Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of this Quarterly Report and in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 21, 2024 (the “2023 Annual Report”) and the Company’s other filings with the SEC.

It is not possible for the management of the Company to predict all risks, nor can the Company assess the impact of all factors on the Company’s business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements the Company may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may not occur, and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are made only as of the date hereof. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in its forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot guarantee that the future results, levels of activity, performance or events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in expectations, except as required by law. You should read this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the documents that have been filed as exhibits hereto with the understanding that the actual future results, levels of activity, performance, events and circumstances of the Company may be materially different from what is expected.

Nature of Operations

Tigo Energy, Inc. (f/k/a Roth CH Acquisition IV Co.) and subsidiaries (together, the “Company”) consists of Tigo Energy, Inc. (“Tigo”), its wholly-owned direct and indirect subsidiaries: Tigo Energy MergeCo, Inc. (f/k/a Tigo Energy, Inc.) (“Legacy Tigo”), Tigo Energy Brasil Ltda., Tigo Energy Philippines Inc., Tigo Energy Israel Ltd., Tigo Energy AI Ltd. (f/k/a Foresight Energy, Ltd. (“fSight”)), Tigo Energy Italy SRL, Tigo Energy Systems Trading (Suzhou) and Tigo Energy Australia Pty Ltd. Prior to the consummation of the Business Combination (as defined below), the operations of the Company were conducted through Legacy Tigo. Legacy Tigo was incorporated in Delaware in 2007 and commenced operations in 2010.

The Company provides solar and energy storage solutions, including module level power electronics (“MLPE”) designed to maximize the energy output of individual solar modules, delivering more energy, active management, and enhanced safety for utility, commercial, and residential solar arrays. The Company is headquartered in Campbell, California with offices in Europe, Asia and the Middle East.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On December 5, 2022, Roth CH Acquisition IV Co., a Delaware corporation (“ROCG”), Roth IV Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of ROCG (“Merger Sub”), and Legacy Tigo, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, as amended on April 6, 2023 (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other transactions, on May 23, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), Merger Sub merged with and into Legacy Tigo (the “Merger”), with Legacy Tigo surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of ROCG (the Merger, together with the other transactions described in the Merger Agreement, the “Business Combination”). In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, ROCG changed its name to “Tigo Energy, Inc.”

Please refer to Note 3 “Merger with Roth CH Acquisition IV Co.” for additional details regarding the Business Combination.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Pursuant to the Business Combination, the merger between ROCG and Legacy Tigo was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with U.S. GAAP (the “Reverse Recapitalization”). Under this method of accounting, ROCG was treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Reverse Recapitalization was treated as the equivalent of Legacy Tigo issuing stock for the net assets of ROCG, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of ROCG are stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. The consolidated assets, liabilities and results of operations prior to the Reverse Recapitalization are those of Legacy Tigo. The shares and corresponding capital amounts and earnings per share available for common stockholders, prior to the Closing Date, have been retroactively recasted as shares reflecting the exchange ratio established in the Business Combination. Please refer to Note 3 “Merger with Roth CH Acquisition IV Co.” for additional details regarding the Business Combination.

The Company has determined the functional currency of the subsidiaries to be the U.S. dollar. The Company remeasures monetary assets and liabilities of its foreign operations at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and nonmonetary assets and liabilities at their historical exchange rates. Expenses are remeasured at the weighted-average exchange rates during the relevant reporting period. These remeasurement gains and losses are recorded in other income, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income and were not material for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments (which consist primarily of accruals, estimates and assumptions that impact the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements) considered necessary to present fairly Tigo’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2024 and its condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income, cash flows, and convertible preferred stock and changes stockholders’ equity (deficit) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2024.

Tigo Energy, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, presented herein, do not contain all of the required disclosures under GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023, has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet as of that date. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, which was filed with the SEC on March 21, 2024.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to its audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 21, 2024.

Emerging Growth Company Status

The Company is an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (JOBS Act). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act, until such time as those standards apply to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that it (i) is no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, these financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with the new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates on historical information and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Examples of such estimates include, among other things, the valuation of share-based awards, the recoverability of long-lived assets, the assessment of intangible assets and goodwill for impairment, provisions for warranty and expected credit losses, inventory obsolescence, sales returns, future price concessions, valuation allowances and the estimated useful lives of plant and equipment and acquired intangible assets. Actual results may materially differ from these estimates. On an ongoing basis, the Company reviews its estimates to ensure that these estimates appropriately reflect changes in its business or new information as it becomes available.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements not yet Adopted

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic 280). This ASU updates reportable segment disclosure requirements by requiring disclosures of significant reportable segment expenses that are regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) and included within each reported measure of a segment’s profit or loss. This ASU also requires disclosure of the title and position of the individual identified as the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures of a segment’s profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Adoption of the ASU should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is also permitted. We are currently evaluating the provisions of this ASU and expect to adopt them for the year ending December 31, 2024.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740). This ASU requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as additional information on income taxes paid. The ASU is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, although retrospective application is permitted. Early adoption is also permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. We are currently evaluating the provisions of this ASU and expect to adopt them for the year ending December 31, 2025.

In March 2024, the SEC adopted final rules that would require registrants to provide certain climate-related information in their registration statements and annual reports. The new rules require information about a registrant's climate-related risks that are reasonably likely to have a material impact on its business, results of operations, or financial condition. The rules also require disclosure of certain climate-related financial metrics in registrant’s audited financial statements, and, for certain registrants, disclosure regarding such registrant’s greenhouse gas emissions. In April 2024, the SEC voluntarily stayed the rules pending completion of a judicial review that is currently pending in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these rules on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures.

Merger with Roth CH Acquisition IV Co.

The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, ROCG was treated as the “acquired” company and Legacy Tigo was considered the “acquirer” for financial reporting purposes. This determination was primarily based on Legacy Tigo stockholders comprising a majority of the voting power of the Company, Legacy Tigo’s senior management comprising substantially all of the senior management of the Company, Legacy Tigo’s relative size compared to ROCG, and Legacy Tigo’s operations prior to the acquisition comprising the only ongoing operations of the Company. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the financial statements of the Company represent a continuation of the financial statements of Legacy Tigo with the Business Combination being treated as the equivalent of Legacy Tigo issuing stock for the net assets of ROCG, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of ROCG are stated at historical costs, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination are presented as those of Legacy Tigo. All periods prior to the Business Combination have been retrospectively adjusted using the exchange ratio established in the Business Combination of 0.233335 (the “Exchange Ratio”) to affect the reverse recapitalization.

As part of the reverse recapitalization, Legacy Tigo acquired $2.2 million of cash, $0.6 million of prepaid expenses and insurance and assumed $3,400 of accrued expenses and $61,000 of income tax payable. The Company incurred $6.1 million in transaction costs relating to the Business Combination, which were charged directly to additional paid-in capital to the extent of cash received. Transaction costs in excess of cash acquired of $3.9 million were charged to general and administrative expenses.

Immediately prior to the closing of the Business Combination:

•

all shares of Legacy Tigo’s outstanding Series E, Series D, Series C-1, Series C, Series B-4, Series B-3, Series B-2, Series B-1, Series A-4, Series A-3, Series A-2, and Series A-1 convertible preferred stock were converted into an equivalent number of shares of Legacy Tigo common stock on a one-to-one basis and additional shares of Legacy Tigo common stock were issued to settle the accumulated dividend to the Series E and Series D convertible preferred stockholders of $12.6 million;

•

all common warrants net of exercise were converted into an equivalent number of shares of Legacy Tigo common stock on a one-to-one basis; and

•

all preferred warrants net of exercise were converted into an equivalent number of shares of Legacy Tigo preferred stock on a one-to-one basis, and subsequently converted into an equivalent number of shares of Legacy Tigo common stock on a one-to-one basis.

At the effective time of the Business Combination, each share of Legacy Tigo common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the closing (including the shares of Legacy Tigo common stock issued in connection with the foregoing) were canceled and converted into the right to receive a pro rata portion of the merger consideration based on the Exchange Ratio.

In connection with the Business Combination, the Company issued 1,700,498 shares of Common Stock to former stockholders of ROCG and 118,021 shares of Common Stock to Roth Capital Partners, LLC.

Immediately following the Business Combination, there were 58,144,543 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, options to purchase an aggregate of 4,358,301 shares of Common Stock and 5,768,750 warrants outstanding to purchase shares of Common Stock.

Acquisition of Foresight Energy, Ltd.

On January 25, 2023 (“Acquisition Closing Date”), Legacy Tigo acquired 100% of the equity interests of fSight. The results of fSight’s operations have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements since the Acquisition Closing Date. fSight primarily focuses on developing and marketing a software as a service platform, based on artificial intelligence for the smart management of electrical energy. The acquisition expands the Company’s ability to leverage energy consumption and production data for solar energy producers, adding a prediction platform that provides actionable system performance data, from the grid down to the module level. The Company changed the name of fSight to Tigo Energy AI Ltd. in September 2024.

Tigo Energy, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Under the terms of the purchase agreement, total consideration amounted to $13.2 million which consisted of 5,598,751 shares of Legacy Tigo’s common stock (which represents 1,306,385 shares of Common Stock on an as-converted basis as a result of the Business Combination) issued at closing with a fair value of approximately $11.0 million, 737,233 shares of Legacy Tigo’s common stock (which represents 172,022 shares of Common Stock on an as-converted basis as a result of the Business Combination) with a fair value of approximately $1.4 million to be issued 12 months from closing and 368,617 shares of Legacy Tigo’s common stock (which represents 86,011 shares of Common Stock on an as-converted basis as a result of the Business Combination) with a fair value of approximately $0.7 million to be issued 18 months from closing (collectively with the shares to be issued at 12 months “Contingent Shares”). In addition to the consideration in the purchase agreement, there is an additional $0.5 million in consideration related to a loan that the Company issued to fSight prior to the Acquisition Closing Date, for a total consideration transferred of $13.7 million. The loan payable was deemed settled immediately following the Acquisition Closing Date.

Pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreement, the Contingent Shares are subject to adjustment based on certain indemnification obligations, liabilities or settlements that may arise during the contingency period, which ends 18 months following the Acquisition Closing Date. During the year ended December 31, 2023, there was an adjustment recorded against the Contingent Shares related to an unrecorded liability that was not present as of the opening balance sheet date of January 25, 2023, and the number of Contingent Shares was adjusted downward by 5,745 shares to reflect this change. As of December 31, 2023, there was a total of up to 252,288 Contingent Shares that may be issued pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreement.

The Contingent Shares were recorded as a liability at a fair value of approximately $2.1 million on the Acquisition Closing Date based on the fair value of Legacy Tigo’s common stock at the Acquisition Closing Date. The contingent shares liability is recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities within the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

On January 25, 2024, consistent with the terms of the purchase agreement, the Company issued the 12-month tranche of Contingent Shares, 166,271 shares of its Common Stock, to certain former equity holders of fSight. At January 25, 2024, the liability was revalued to $0.4 million based upon the Company’s Common Stock fair value per share at that date. A mark-to-market gain of $0.2 million was recorded upon the remeasurement at January 25, 2024. Additionally, on July 25, 2024, consistent with the terms of the purchase agreement, the Company issued the 18-month tranche of Contingent Shares, 86,017 shares of its Common Stock, to certain former equity holders of fSight. At July 25, 2024, the liability was revalued to $0.1 million, and the Company recognized a mark-to-market expense of $3,000 related to the remeasurement upon issuance of the final tranche of Contingent Shares. As of September 30, 2024, there are no Contingent Shares outstanding.

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, the Company recognized a $3,000 mark-to-market expense and $3.0 million mark-to-market gain, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, the Company recognized a $0.2 million and $0.4 million mark-to-market expense, respectively. Mark-to-market expense and gains are recorded in the change in fair value of preferred stock warrant and contingent share liability financial statement line item within the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023.

The transaction was accounted for as a business combination pursuant to ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, using the acquisition method of accounting and in conjunction with the acquisition, Legacy Tigo recognized $47,000 and $0.2 million of acquisition-related costs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. The Company did not incur any expense associated with acquisition-related costs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. The acquisition-related costs, which were expensed as incurred, are recorded in general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

Net (Loss) Earnings Per Share

Basic net (loss) earnings per share of common stock is computed by dividing net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period, without consideration for potential dilutive shares of common stock. Diluted net (loss) earnings per share of common stock is computed by dividing the net (loss) earnings attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common share equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock method and if-converted method, as applicable. Basic and diluted net (loss) earnings per share attributable to common stockholders is presented in conformity with the two-class method required for participating securities.

Under the two-class method, net (loss) income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, is adjusted by the difference between the fair value of consideration transferred and the carrying amount of convertible preferred stock during periods where the Company redeems its convertible preferred stock. The remaining earnings (undistributed earnings) are allocated to common stock and each series of convertible preferred stock to the extent that each preferred security may share in earnings as if all of the earnings for the period had been distributed. The total earnings allocated to common stock are then divided by the number of outstanding shares to which the earnings are allocated to determine the earnings per share. The two-class method is not applicable during periods with a net loss, as the holders of the convertible preferred stock have no obligation to fund losses. In periods in which the Company reports a net loss, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share since dilutive shares are not assumed to have been issued if their effect is antidilutive.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value Measurements

The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis using a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Authoritative guidance establishes three levels of the fair value hierarchy as follows:


Level 1:	Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2:	Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and
Level 3:	Fair value measurements derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

The following fair value hierarchy table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and customer deposits approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. As of September 30, 2024, the fair value and carrying value of the Company’s Convertible Promissory Note (Note 9) was $40.4 million and $38.3 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, the fair value and carrying value of the Company’s Series 2022-1 Notes was $58.1 million and $31.6 million, respectively. The estimated fair value for the Company’s Convertible Promissory Note was based on discounted expected future cash flows using prevailing interest rates which are Level 3 inputs under the fair value hierarchy.

As of September 30, 2024, the Company expects to recognize $1.2 million from remaining performance obligations over a weighted average term of 3.9 years.

The Company recognized approximately $0.1 million and $0.6 million in revenue that was included in the beginning contract liabilities balance during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. The Company did not recognize any revenue that was included in the beginning contract liabilities balance during the three months ended September 30, 2023. The Company recognized $0.9 million in revenue that was included in the beginning contract liabilities balance during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Product Warranty

The Company estimates the cost of its warranty obligations based on several key estimates: the warranty period (which vary from 5 to 25 years depending on the product), its historical experience of known product failure rates, use of materials to repair or replace defective products and parts, and service delivery costs incurred in correcting product failures. In addition, from time to time, specific warranty accruals may be made if unforeseen technical problems arise. Should the actual experience relative to these factors differ from the estimates, the Company may be required to record additional warranty reserves. Product warranty costs are recorded as expense to cost of revenue based on customer history, historical information and current trends.

The following table summarizes the changes in product warranty liability:

During the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, the Company recorded amortization of $2.2 million and $2.2 million, respectively, to interest expense pertaining to debt discount and issuance costs. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, the Company recorded amortization of $6.7 million and $3.2 million, respectively, to interest expense pertaining to debt discount and issuance costs. The amortization associated with the Convertible Promissory Note primarily consists of the debt discount that was recorded as a result of the bifurcation of the conversion option at the time of the Business Combination. See below in this note for further information on the conversion option bifurcation for the Convertible Promissory Note, as defined below.

Convertible Promissory Notes

On January 9, 2023, the Company entered into the Note Purchase Agreement (“Note Purchase Agreement”) with L1 Energy Capital Management S.a.r.l. (“L1 Energy”) pursuant to which the Company issued the Convertible Promissory Note in the aggregate principal amount of $50.0 million (the “Convertible Promissory Note”). Outstanding borrowings under the Convertible Promissory Note bears interest at a rate of 5.0% per year. The principal amount of the Convertible Promissory Note is due at the maturity date of January 9, 2026, and interest is payable semiannually. As of September 30, 2024, there was $0.6 million of accrued interest in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Under the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement, the Convertible Promissory Note may be converted at the option of the note holder into the Company’s common stock or an equivalent equity instrument resulting from a public company event. The conversion price is based on a pre-money valuation divided by the aggregate number of the Company’s outstanding shares at the issuance date and adjusted for any cash dividends paid on the Company’s capital stock. The conversion price and number of conversion shares are subject to standard anti-dilution adjustments. Upon a change of control event the note holder may (i) convert the Convertible Promissory Note immediately prior to the event into the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to the lesser of the Convertible Promissory Note’s original conversion price or the price per share of the Company’s common stock implied by the change of control event transaction agreement or (ii) require the redemption of the Convertible Promissory Note in cash, including the payment of a make-whole amount of all unpaid interest that would have otherwise been payable had the Convertible Promissory Note remained outstanding through the maturity date.

Tigo Energy, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

The Company’s obligations under the Note Purchase Agreement may be accelerated, subject to customary grace and cure periods, upon the occurrence of an event of default. The Note Purchase Agreement defines events of default as the occurrence of any one of the following; 1) a default in payment of any part of principal or unpaid accrued interest on the Convertible Promissory Note when due and payable; 2) the Company issues a written statement that it is unable to pay its debts as they become due, or the Company files a voluntary petition for bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, the Company, or its directors or majority shareholders take action looking to the dissolution or liquidation of the Company; 3) the involuntary bankruptcy of the Company defined as the commencement of any proceeding against the Company seeking any bankruptcy reorganization; 4) the Company defaults on any of its performance obligations under the Note Purchase Agreement; 5) any material portion of the assets of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company is seized or a levy is filed against such assets; 6) a default that remains uncured on any other agreement evidencing the indebtedness of the Company or its subsidiaries for an amount of $10 million or more whose terms allow for the acceleration of the repayment of such indebtedness due to the consummation of the transactions contemplated in this Note Purchase Agreement.

As a result of the Business Combination, the conversion options were bifurcated and accounted for as derivatives. Upon recognition, the Company recorded the conversion options at fair value and associated debt discount of $23.5 million. On September 24, 2023, the Company and L1 Energy entered into the Convertible Note Amendment which modified the conversion terms of the Convertible Promissory Notes. As of September 24, 2023, the fair value of the conversion options was remeasured to $11.3 million. The resulting change in fair value was recorded in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operation and comprehensive (loss) income. Subsequently, the convertible note derivative liability was reclassified to an equity classified derivative and was recorded into additional paid-in capital on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Future aggregate principal maturities of long-term debt are as follows as of September 30, 2024 (in thousands):

Commitments and Contingencies

Employment Agreements

The Company entered into employment agreements with key personnel providing compensation and severance in certain circumstances, as defined in the respective employment agreements.

Legal

In the normal course of business, the Company may become involved in litigation or legal disputes that are not covered by insurance. While the Company intends to vigorously defend itself with respect to such disputes, any potential outcomes resulting from such claims would be inherently difficult to quantify.

Indemnification Agreements

From time to time, in its normal course of business, the Company may indemnify other parties with which it enters into contractual relationships, including customers, lessors and parties to other transactions with the Company. The Company may agree to hold other parties harmless against specific losses, such as those that could arise from third-party claims or a breach of representation or covenant. It may not be possible to determine the maximum potential amount of liability under such indemnification agreements due to the unique facts and circumstances that are likely to be involved in each particular claim and indemnification provision.

The Company has also indemnified its Directors and Executive Officers, to the extent legally permissible, against all liabilities reasonably incurred in connection with any action in which such individual may be involved by reason of such individual being or having been a Director or Executive Officer.

The Company believes the current estimated fair value of any obligation from these indemnification agreements is minimal; therefore, these condensed consolidated financial statements do not include a liability for potential indemnification-related obligations at September 30, 2024.

Common Stock, Preferred Stock and Convertible Preferred Stock

Common and Preferred Stock

The Company is authorized to issue 150,000,000 shares of Common Stock. Each share of Common Stock entitles the holder to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders.

The Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock. As of September 30, 2024, there was no Preferred Stock outstanding.

Common Stock Reserved for Future Issuance

Shares of Common Stock reserved for future issuance were as follows:


	As of September 30, 2024
Stock options issued and outstanding		6,056,005
Restricted stock units and performance stock units issued and outstanding		3,971,812

Common Stock Warrants

Legacy Tigo had outstanding warrants to purchase 1,915,372 shares of Legacy Tigo common stock (“Legacy Warrants”), which (prior to the consummation of the Business Combination) represented rights to purchase Legacy Tigo common stock. During the year ended December 31, 2023, 1,915,372 Legacy Warrants were net exercised resulting in the issuance of 1,491,229 shares of Common Stock. As of December 31, 2023, there were no Legacy Warrants outstanding.

In connection with the Business Combination, the Company assumed 5,750,000 warrants originally issued as part of ROCG’s units in ROCG’s initial public offering (the “Public Warrants”) and 18,750 warrants issued to the initial stockholders of ROCG in a private placement in connection with ROCG’s initial public offering (the “Private Warrants” and, together with the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”), which, in each case, entitle the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. Except with respect to certain registration rights and transfer restrictions, the Private Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants. The Company has analyzed the Warrants and determined they are freestanding instruments and do not exhibit any of the characteristics in ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, and therefore are not classified as liabilities under ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.

Under the terms of the Warrant Agreement, the Company was entitled to redeem all of its outstanding Warrants for $0.01 per Warrant if the reported closing price of the Company’s Common Stock was at least $18.00 per share on each of twenty trading days within a 30-day trading period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which a notice of redemption is given. This performance threshold was achieved following the market close on August 4, 2023.

Tigo Energy, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

On August 9, 2023, the Company announced the redemption of all of its outstanding Public Warrants and Private Warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock that were issued under the Warrant Agreement, dated as of August 5, 2021, by and among the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, at a redemption price of $0.01 per Warrant for those Warrants that remained outstanding following 5:00 p.m. New York City time on September 8, 2023.

A total of 324,546 Warrants were exercised through September 8, 2023, resulting in proceeds, net of issuance costs, of $3.7 million. All other Warrants were redeemed on September 8, 2023.

The Company paid $0.1 million for the remaining Warrants that were not exercised as of September 8, 2023, which was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2023, there were no Warrants outstanding.

Convertible Preferred Stock

In connection with the Business Combination, as discussed in Note 3, the Company issued 47,918,992 shares of Common Stock to holders of convertible preferred stock of Legacy Tigo. No convertible preferred securities were outstanding as of December 31, 2023. Prior to the Business Combination, Legacy Tigo’s convertible preferred stock was classified outside of stockholders’ deficit because the shares contained deemed liquidation rights that were contingent redemption features not solely within the control of Legacy Tigo. As a result, all of Legacy Tigo’s convertible preferred stock was classified as mezzanine equity.

Convertible Preferred Stock Warrants

Warrants to purchase a total of 1,064,446 shares of Series C convertible preferred stock of Legacy Tigo were initially recognized as a liability and recorded at fair value upon issuance and were subject to remeasurement to fair value at each balance sheet date. As part of the Business Combination, Legacy Tigo convertible preferred stock was remeasured immediately before the Merger date, and was subsequently converted into Legacy Tigo common stock pursuant to the conversion rate in effect immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination and all related Legacy Tigo convertible preferred stock warrants were converted into warrants exercisable for shares of Common Stock with terms consistent with the Legacy Tigo convertible preferred stock warrants except for the number of shares exercisable and the exercise price, each of which was adjusted using the Exchange Ratio. In connection with the Business Combination, as discussed in Note 3, all outstanding Series C convertible preferred stock warrants were exercised resulting in the net issuance of 828,733 shares of convertible preferred stock which were immediately converted into Common Stock in connection with the recapitalization. As of December 31, 2023, there were no convertible preferred stock warrants outstanding.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company adopted the 2008 Stock Plan (“2008 Plan”) under which it may issue stock options to purchase shares of common stock, and award restricted stock and stock appreciation rights to employees, Directors and consultants. The 2008 Plan expired in March 2018 and all award issuance therefore ceased. Options generally vest over a four-year period with a one-year cliff. The option term is no longer than five years for incentive stock options for which the grantee owns greater than 10% of the Company’s capital stock and no longer than 10 years for all other options. The Company has a repurchase option on unvested restricted stock exercisable upon the voluntary or involuntary termination of the purchaser’s employment with the Company for any reason. The Company’s repurchase right lapses in accordance with the vesting terms. Options outstanding under the 2008 Plan will remain outstanding until they are exercised, canceled or expire.

In May 2018, the Company adopted the 2018 Stock Plan (“2018 Plan”) under which the Company may issue stock options to purchase shares of common stock, and award restricted stock and stock appreciation rights to employees, Directors and consultants.

Under the 2018 Plan, the Board of Directors may grant incentive stock options or nonqualified stock options. Incentive stock options may only be granted to Company employees. The 2018 Plan expired in May 2023 and all award issuance therefore ceased. The exercise price of incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options cannot be less than 100% of the fair value per share of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. If an individual owns more than 10% of the Company’s outstanding capital stock, the price of each share incentive stock option will be at least 110% of the fair value. Fair value is determined by the Board of Directors. Options generally vest over a four-year period with a one-year cliff. The option term is no longer than five years for incentive stock options for which the grantee owns greater than 10% of the Company’s capital stock and no longer than 10 years for all other options. The Company has a repurchase option on unvested restricted stock exercisable upon the voluntary or involuntary termination of the purchaser’s employment with the Company for any reason. The Company’s repurchase right lapses in accordance with the vesting terms. Options outstanding under the 2018 Plan will remain outstanding until they are exercised, canceled or expire.

Tigo Energy, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

In May 2023, the Company adopted the 2023 Equity Incentive Plan (“2023 Plan”) under which the Company may issue stock options to purchase shares of common stock, award restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSU”), performance stock units (“PSUs”), dividend equivalents, stock appreciation rights, and other stock-based or cash-based awards to employees, Directors and consultants.

Stock options granted to newly hired employees generally vest over a four-year period, following the date of grant, with 25% vesting on the first anniversary of the grant date and the remaining vesting in equal monthly installments thereafter, and grants of additional stock options to employees generally vest in equal monthly installments over a four year period with no cliff vesting. As of September 30, 2024, 316,634 stock options granted under the 2023 Plan had vested and were exercisable. There have been no stock options exercised under the 2023 Plan. The RSUs generally vest over a three-year period, following the date of grant, with a third of the award vesting on each year on the annual anniversary of the grant date. As of September 30, 2024, 2,369,213 RSUs that were granted under the 2023 Plan have vested into shares of Common Stock.

Collectively, the 2008 Stock Plan, 2018 Stock Plan and the 2023 Equity Incentive Plan are referred to as “the Plans”.

The Company measures stock-based awards at their grant-date fair value and records compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the awards. The Company also measures the PSU awards at their grant-date fair value and assumes that performance goals will be achieved. If the performance goals are not met, no compensation expense is recognized and any recognized compensation expense is reversed. The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense in the following expense categories in its accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss:

Vested and expected to vest at September 30, 2024		6,056,005		$	3.17		7.66

As of September 30, 2024, the total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock option awards was $8.8 million, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted-average period of 2.8 years.

The fair value of options is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which takes into account inputs such as the exercise price, the value of the underlying common stock at the grant date, expected term, expected volatility, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The fair value of each grant of options was determined using the methods and assumptions discussed below.

•

The expected term of employee options with service-based vesting is determined using the “simplified” method, as prescribed in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 107, whereby the expected life equals the arithmetic average of the vesting term and the original contractual term of the option due to the Company’s lack of sufficient historical data. The expected term of non-employee options is equal to the contractual term.

Tigo Energy, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

•

The expected volatility is based on historical volatilities of similar entities within the Company’s industry which were commensurate with the expected term assumption as described in SAB No. 107.

•

The risk-free interest rate is based on the interest rate payable on U.S. Treasury securities in effect at the time of grant for a period that is commensurate with the assumed expected term.

•

The expected dividend yield is 0% because the Company has not historically paid and does not expect in the foreseeable future to pay a dividend on its common stock.

•

As the Company’s common stock has not historically been publicly traded, its Board of Directors periodically estimated the fair value of the Company’s common stock considering, among other things, contemporaneous valuations of its common stock prepared by an unrelated third-party valuation firm in accordance with the guidance provided by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants 2013 Practice Aid, Valuation of Privately-Held-Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation.

The fair value of each stock option granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, was estimated on the date of grant using the weighted average assumptions in the table below:


	September 30, 2024			September 30, 2023
Expected volatility		72.3	%		68.1	%
Risk-free interest rate		3.5	%		4.1	%

Outstanding at September 30, 2024		2,102,210		$	3.75

As of September 30, 2024, the total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested RSUs was $7.1 million, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted-average period of 2.0 years.

Performance Stock Units

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company granted an aggregate of 1,869,602 PSUs to its executives and certain personnel within the Company. The PSUs vest over a three-year period beginning on January 1, 2025, with one-third of the award eligible to vest at the end of each fiscal year through December 31, 2027, based on the Company’s level of achievement of certain performance-based criteria tied to annual net revenue and adjusted EBITDA targets. The PSUs were valued using the market value of the Company’s Common Stock at the closing market price on the grant date.

The following table summarizes the PSU activity for the Plans for the nine months ended September 30, 2024:


	Number of shares		Weighted average grant date fair value per share
Outstanding at December 31, 2023		—	$	—
Granted		1,869,602	$	1.60
Vested		—	$	—
Forfeited		—	$	—
Outstanding at September 30, 2024		1,869,602	$	1.60

As of September 30, 2024, the Company did not believe it was probable that the performance criteria associated with the PSUs would be achieved. Accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized for these awards, and there is no unrecognized compensation cost associated with these awards. The Company will reassess the probability of achieving the performance conditions at each reporting date.

Leases

As a lessee, the Company currently leases office space and vehicles in the United States, Italy, Israel, China, Philippines and Thailand. All of the Company leases are classified as operating leases. The Company has no leases classified as finance or sales-type leases. For leases with terms greater than 12 months, the Company records the related assets and obligations at the present value of lease payments over the term. Many of its leases include rental escalation clauses, renewal options and/or termination options that are factored into the Company’s determination of lease payments.

When available, the Company uses the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments to present value; however, most of its leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Therefore, the Company must estimate its incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payments based on information available at lease commencement. The majority of the Company’s leases have remaining lease terms of one to five years, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to eight years, and some of which include options to terminate the leases within one year.

The components of lease expense are as follows:


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
(in thousands)	2024		2023		2024		2023
Operating lease costs	$	332	$	325	$	980	$	802

Income Taxes

The Company’s income tax expense, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and reserves for unrecognized tax benefits reflect management’s best assessment of estimated current and future taxes to be paid. The Company is subject to income taxes in both the United States and foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgment and estimates are required in determining the consolidated income tax expense.

As of each reporting date, management considers new evidence, both positive and negative, that could affect its view of the future realization of deferred tax assets. In the second quarter of 2023, the Company assessed all available positive and negative evidence placing the most weight on objectively verifiable information. As such, the Company’s cumulative profit position was given the most weight and, based on estimated future sources of taxable income, the Company determined that the future benefits were more likely than not to be realized and released the valuation allowance against U.S. federal net deferred tax assets. The Company continued to record a valuation allowance against its state net deferred tax assets which is primarily the state of California deferred tax assets.

As of the third quarter of 2023, management considered new evidence, both positive and negative, that could affect its view of the future realization of deferred tax assets. In the third quarter of 2023, the Company and its industry overall experienced a significant change in outlook. As a result of the significant number of bankruptcies by installers, higher than expected order cancellations and pushouts, slower than expected installation rates, higher inventory levels in the channel and a general slowdown in the macroeconomic environment in the third quarter of 2023, the Company assessed all available positive and negative evidence and determined that its U.S. federal net deferred tax asset is no longer more likely than not realizable and recorded a valuation allowance against its U.S. federal net deferred tax assets. In making this determination, the Company placed the most weight on objectively verifiable information which was the Company’s cumulative loss position. As a result, the Company recorded a tax expense and valuation allowance of $11.1 million on the basis of managements’ reassessment of the amount of its deferred tax assets that were more likely than not to be realized. As of September 30, 2024, the Company has maintained this position.

There was no income tax expense and $11.0 million of income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively. Income tax expense was $16,000 and $29,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

The effective tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023 were 0.0% and 27.4%, respectively. The effective tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023 was 0.0%. The item that had the most significant impact on the difference between the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 21.0% and the effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, was the valuation allowance which offset the tax benefit of book losses. The item that had the most significant impact on the difference between the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 21% and the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2023, was the discrete tax expense of recording valuation allowance against U.S. net deferred tax assets. The item that had the most significant impact on the difference between the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 21% and the effective tax rate of 0.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was the change in valuation allowance which offset the tax benefit of book losses.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2023 Annual Report. In addition to historical data, this discussion contains forward-looking statements about our business, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition and prospects based on current expectations that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results could differ materially from such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to those differences include, but are not limited to, those identified below and those discussed in the sections titled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including those set forth in Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in the 2023 Annual Report. Additionally, our historical results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any period in the future. Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, references in this section to “we,” “our,” “us,” “the Company” or other similar terms refer to the business and operations of Tigo Energy, Inc. and its subsidiaries prior to the Business Combination (“Legacy Tigo”) and Tigo Energy Inc. following the consummation of the Business Combination. References to “ROCG” refer to Roth CH Acquisition IV Co. prior to the consummation of the Business Combination.

Overview

Our mission is to deliver smart systems solutions, combining hardware and software, which enhance safety, increase energy yield, and lower operating costs of residential, commercial, and utility-scale solar systems. We believe we are a worldwide leader in the development and delivery of products and solutions that are flexible and dependable, increase the energy generation of solar energy systems and address the need for change. We primarily offer products and services through distributors and solar installers. We have a worldwide footprint with product installations in over 100 countries and on all seven continents.

Key Factors that May Influence Future Results of Operations

Our financial results of operations may not be comparable from period to period due to several factors. Key factors affecting our results of operations are summarized below.

Demand for Products. The demand for our products in Europe and the United States experienced a notable slowdown beginning in the second quarter in 2023 and has continued into 2024. Although our net revenue has increased on a sequential basis in each quarter of 2024, our quarterly and year-to-date results remain substantially lower than comparable periods of the prior year. In Europe, the slowdown was primarily due to elevated inventory levels with distributors and an overall channel inventory correction as they responded to a slower demand environment. Additionally, there has been uncertainty surrounding the net energy metering policies and solar export penalties in the European markets, such as Germany, Belgium, Italy and the United Kingdom, which also contributed to the overall slowdown in demand in Europe. In the United States, the slowdown was primarily attributable due to higher interest rates than recent prior periods and the transition from the second iteration of net metering (“NEM 2.0”) to the third iteration of net metering (“NEM 3.0”) in California. In response to these factors, we reduced staffing levels across all geographies in December 2023 by approximately 15%, and in April 2024 by approximately 10%. In addition, our inventory levels have continued to remain elevated in 2024 compared to historical norms. As a result, we recognized charges of $3.4 million and $4.0 million to write down inventories to their estimated net realizable value for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. Further write-downs of inventories and additional cost reduction measures in future quarters could occur if market conditions do not improve or deteriorate.

Unfavorable Macroeconomic and Market Conditions. The global macroeconomic and market uncertainty, including higher interest rates and inflation, has caused disruptions in financial markets and may continue to have an adverse effect on the U.S. and world economies. Since the second quarter of 2023, we have experienced a significant number of customer requests to delay purchase order deliveries and a smaller number of purchase order cancellations and returns. Other customers may decide to delay purchasing our products and services or not purchase at all. A tighter credit market for consumer and business spending could, in turn, adversely affect spending levels of installers and end users and lead to increased price competition for our products. Reductions in customer spending in response to unfavorable or uncertain macroeconomic and market conditions, globally or in a particular region where we operate, have adversely affected, and could continue to adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Managing Supply Chain. We rely on contract manufacturers and suppliers to produce our components. Our ability to grow depends, in part, on the ability of our contract manufacturers and suppliers to provide high quality services and deliver components and finished products on time and at reasonable costs. While we have diversified our supply chain, some of our suppliers and contract manufacturers are sole-source suppliers. Our concentration of suppliers could lead to supply shortages, long lead times for components and supply changes. A significant portion of our supply chain originates in Thailand and China. In the event we are unable to mitigate the impact of delays and/or price increases in raw materials, electronic components and freight, it could delay the manufacturing and delivery of our products, which would adversely impact our cash flows and results of operations, including revenue and gross margin. In addition, in a slowing economic environment, our inventory levels may continue to increase due to existing purchase commitments and our ability to negotiate volume pricing discounts may be impaired.

Expansion of Sales with Existing Customers and Adding New Customers. Our future revenue growth is, in part, dependent on our ability to expand product offerings and services in the U.S. residential market. In our North American market, revenue is generally generated from our product offerings and services in the commercial and industrial markets. In order to continue revenue growth, we plan to expand our presence in the residential market through offerings with residential solar providers. We also expect to continue to evaluate and invest in new market opportunities internationally. We believe that our entry into new markets will continue to facilitate revenue growth and customer diversification. We primarily acquire new customers through collaboration with our industry partners and distributors. While we expect that a substantial portion of our future revenues in the near-term will be generated from our existing customers, we expect to invest in our sales and marketing to broaden reach with new residential customers in the U.S. and EMEA.

Expansion of New Products and Services. We have made substantial investments in research and development and sales and marketing to achieve a leading position in our market and revenue growth. While a majority of our revenue is generated from the sale of our MLPE products, we also generate revenue from our offerings of GO Energy Storage Systems (“GO ESS”) and Predict+ service, and the Company intends to continue developing and promoting these product and service lines.

Key Operating and Financial Metrics

We regularly review a number of metrics, including the following key operating and financial metrics, to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends in our business, prepare financial projections and make strategic decisions. We believe the operating and financial metrics presented are useful in evaluating our operating performance, as they are similar to measures used by our public competitors and are regularly used by securities analysts, institutional investors, and other interested parties in analyzing operating performance and prospects.

The following table sets forth these metrics for the periods presented:

Three months and nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023

•

EMEA - Net revenue for the EMEA region decreased by $1.6 million or 15.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and by $84.2 million or 79.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the same periods in 2023. The decreases are primarily due to a slowdown in demand in the region due to elevated inventory levels at distributors and installers. This slowdown was primarily the result of a decrease in customer purchases in Europe after a surge of sales were realized in 2022 and going into the first half of 2023 due to higher energy prices in Europe related to the onset of the armed conflict in Ukraine in 2022, and overall channel inventory correction.

•

Americas - Net revenue for the Americas region decreased by $0.6 million or 17.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and by $13.3 million or 60.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the same periods in 2023. The decreases are primarily due to demand for our solutions slowing as a result of higher interest rates impacting customers’ investment decisions and the transition from NEM 2.0 to NEM 3.0 in California.

•

APAC - Net revenue for the APAC region decreased by $0.6 million or 19.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and decreased by $1.8 million or 21.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the same periods in 2023. The decrease in net revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023 is primarily due to an overall decline in sales in Asia of $1.3 million, which is partially offset by an increase in sales in Australia of $0.7 million. The decrease in net revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily driven by a $1.6 million decline in sales in China.

Three months and nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023

Cost of revenue decreased by $0.5 million or 3.7% and gross profit decreased by $2.4 million or 57.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023. Cost of revenues decreased by $59.2 million or 67.6% and gross profit decreased by $40.0 million or 82.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023. The decreases are primarily due to a 16.8% and 73.0% decline in net revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2023. The decrease is offset by increases in inventory reserves of $3.4 million and $4.0 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, compared to the same period in 2023 due to slow-moving inventory as a result of the macroeconomic factors noted above.

Gross margin decreased by 11.8 percentage points for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and by 12.7 percentage points for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the same periods in 2023. The decreases are primarily due to an increase in the Company’s inventory reserves due to slow-moving inventory, lower sales volume due to the unfavorable macroeconomic and market conditions noted above and sales promotions and discounts related to the Company’s GO ESS product line.

General and administrative expense decreased by $2.0 million or 26.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023. The decrease is primarily related to a decline of bad debt expense associated with the Company’s accounts receivable for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023.

Nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023

General and administrative expense decreased by $4.9 million or 23.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023. The decrease is primarily related to a decline of bad debt expense associated with the Company’s accounts receivable for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, in addition to a decline in legal expense which were higher in 2023 due to the Business Combination that occurred in May 2023, and is partially offset by an increase in personnel-related stock-based compensation expenses.

Three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023

Change in fair value of preferred stock warrant and contingent shares liability increased by $3.0 million or 100.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023. The Company revalues the contingent shares at each reporting period based on the Company's share price as of the revaluation date. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the stock price experienced a less significant change, coupled with a smaller base of shares to revalue, compared to the same period in 2023. The final tranche of the contingent shares was released on July 25, 2024. See Note 4, “Acquisition of Foresight Energy, Ltd.,” of the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

The change in fair value of derivative liability for the three months ended September 30, 2023, is related to the Convertible Promissory Note which contained conversion options that met the requirements for separate accounting and was accounted for as a convertible note derivative liability. The derivative instrument was recorded at fair value upon recognition on the Merger Date and was subject to remeasurement at the end of the reporting period. On September 24, 2023, we entered into the Convertible Note Amendment (as defined above) with L1 Energy (as defined above) to modify the conversion terms of the Convertible Promissory Note and, as a result of such amendment, the conversion options no longer meet the requirements to be bifurcated in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. See Note 9, “Long-Term Debt,” of the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

Interest expense remained constant for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023.

Other income, net decreased $0.5 million or 74.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023. This is primarily due to a decrease in interest income from the Company’s marketable securities, as the underlying asset base generating interest income decreased during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023.

Nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023

Change in fair value of preferred stock warrant and contingent shares liability decreased by $0.3 million or 206.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to a decrease in mark-to-market expense associated with the contingent shares related to the fSight acquisition. The final tranche of the contingent shares was released on July 25, 2024. See Note 4, “Acquisition of Foresight Energy, Ltd.,” of the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

The change in fair value of derivative liability for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, is related to the Convertible Promissory Note which contained conversion options that met the requirements for separate accounting and was accounted for as a convertible note derivative liability. The derivative instrument was recorded at fair value upon recognition on the Merger Date and was subject to remeasurement at the end of the reporting period. On September 24, 2023, we entered into the Convertible Note Amendment (as defined above) with L1 Energy (as defined above) to modify the conversion terms of the Convertible Promissory Note and, as a result of such amendment, the conversion options no longer meet the requirements to be bifurcated in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. See Note 9, “Long-Term Debt,” of the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

The loss on debt extinguishment for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, is primarily related to the repayment of our Series 2022-1 Notes.

Interest expense increased by $3.3 million or 63.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023. This increase is primarily due to the timing of the amortization of the debt discount of $23.5 million that was recorded upon the bifurcation of the conversion options at the time of the Business Combination. Please see Note 9, “Long-Term Debt,” of the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information on the conversion options.

Other income, net decreased $1.5 million or 79.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023. This is primarily due to a decrease in interest income from the Company’s marketable securities, as the underlying asset base generating interest income decreased during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023.

Three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023

Income tax expense decreased $11.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, which was primarily due to recording a valuation allowance against the Company’s U.S. federal net deferred tax asset during 2023. Please see Note 15, “Income Taxes,” of the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information on the valuation allowance.

Nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023

Income tax expense remained constant for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of liquidity are cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. As of September 30, 2024, the Company held $19.5 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities which were held primarily for working capital purposes. Our working capital, which we define as current assets less current liabilities, decreased by $19.5 million to $58.8 million as of September 30, 2024, compared to $78.3 million as of December 31, 2023. The decrease in working capital during this period is primarily attributable to lower marketable securities and inventory balances and is partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities. Revenues stabilized on a sequential quarter basis over the first three quarters of 2024 but declined on a quarter over quarter and year over year basis.

While we have been actively working on reducing our inventory levels, these efforts will depend on our ability to increase future quarterly revenues, maintain a minimal level of inventory purchases with suppliers, and our ability to recover the book value of inventory. Given the macroeconomic factors noted above, the Company recognized charges of $3.4 million and $4.0 million to write down inventories to their estimated net realizable value for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. Through the first three quarters of 2024, we reduced our inventory levels by $14.6 million from December 31, 2023, primarily due to sales, and expect lower inventory levels and positive working capital cash conversion throughout the remainder of 2024.

We believe that our cash position is sufficient to meet our capital and liquidity requirements for at least the next 12 months from the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

However, as of September 30, 2024, the Company had $50.0 million of aggregate principal borrowings outstanding on its Convertible Promissory Note. The principal amount of the Convertible Promissory Note is due at the maturity date of January 9, 2026. As of September 30, 2024, the Company does not have sufficient cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities to repay this obligation.

In the future, our ability to sustain operations, pay outstanding obligations, including repayment of the Convertible Promissory Note when due, and invest in new technologies will likely necessitate that we seek additional equity or debt financing. Our capital needs will be influenced by several factors, including the amount of our revenue and our revenue growth rate, the success of our current products and services and future product development and capital investments, and the timing and extent of spending to support further sales and marketing and research and development efforts. In addition, we have incurred and expect to continue to incur additional costs as a result of operating as a public company. The Company intends to secure additional funding from either public or private financing sources, however as the plans are outside of management’s control, the Company cannot ensure they will be effectively implemented.

In the event that additional financing is required from outside sources, we cannot be certain that any additional financing will be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. If we are required but unable to raise additional capital, meet our obligations, or generate cash flows to sustain our operations, meet our outstanding obligations, including repayment of the Convertible Promissory Note when due, or expand our business, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods presented:


	Nine Months Ended September 30,
(in thousands)	2024			2023
Net cash used in operating activities	$	(13,407	)	$	(29,379	)
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities		18,305			(40,919	)
Net cash provided by financing activities		158			34,821
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	5,056		$	(35,477	)

Management closely monitors expenditures and is focused on obtaining new customers and continuing to develop our products and services. Cash from operations and our liquidity could also be affected by various risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, economic concerns related to interest rates, inflation or the supply chain, including timing of cash collections from customers and other risks which are detailed in the section entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including in Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in the 2023 Annual Report.

Cash Flows Used in Operating Activities

Operating cash flows consists primarily of net (loss) income adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in operating assets and liabilities. Cash used in operating activities decreased by $16.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023. This is primarily due to a decrease in purchases of inventory for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023 as a result of the negative macroeconomic factors that are noted above.

Cash Flows Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities was $18.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, which is primarily attributable to the sale and maturities of marketable securities and was partially offset by the purchase of additional marketable securities and property and equipment. Net cash used in investing activities was $40.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, which is primarily attributable to the purchase of marketable securities and property and equipment and was partially offset by the sale and maturities of marketable securities.

Cash Flows Provided by Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities decreased by $34.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company received proceeds of $0.3 million from the exercise of stock options by employees. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company received proceeds of $50.0 million from the Convertible Promissory Note, proceeds of $3.7 million from the redemptions of common stock warrants and proceeds of $2.2 million from the Business Combination, which was partially offset by the $20.8 million repayment of the Series 2022-1 Notes.

Contractual Obligations

Our contractual obligations primarily consist of our Convertible Promissory Note, obligations under operating leases and inventory component purchases. As of September 30, 2024, there have been no material changes from our disclosure in our 2023 Annual Report. For more information on our future minimum operating leases, see Note 13, “Leases” and for more information on our Convertible Promissory Notes and other related debt, see Note 9, “Long-Term Debt,” of the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

During the periods presented, the Company did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Estimates

For the period ended September 30, 2024, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates from the information reported in our 2023 Annual Report.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

For a description of recent accounting pronouncements, including the expected dates of adoption and estimated effects, if any, on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, see Part I, Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”, in the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Company is not required to provide the information required under this item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2024, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon the evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls were effective as of September 30, 2024.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rules 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and implemented, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues within a company are detected. The inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company may be subject to various claims, lawsuits, and other legal and administrative proceedings that may arise in the ordinary course of business. Some of these claims, lawsuits, and other proceedings may range in complexity and result in substantial uncertainty; it is possible that they may result in damages, fines, penalties, non-monetary sanctions, or relief. While the Company intends to vigorously defend itself with respect to such disputes, any potential outcomes resulting from such claims would be inherently difficult to quantify.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the risk factors disclosed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A, of the Company’s 2023 Annual Report, and the other reports that we have filed with the SEC. Any of the risks discussed in such reports, as well as additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial, could materially and adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition or prospects. During the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have been no material changes in our risk factors as previously disclosed except the following:

Future elections and political uncertainty may have an adverse impact on business.

As discussed in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report, we are subject to various legal, compliance and regulatory risks in numerous jurisdictions throughout the world. These risks include the availability of economic incentives in certain geographic regions in which the Company operates. Future elections in various countries, including the United States and throughout Europe, may further increase these risks. The elections could result in shifts in domestic, foreign, and economic policy approaches, and uncertainty with respect to, regulation and legislation directly affecting the Company and our business environment, including tax incentives or potential tariffs that could directly affect the solar industry. Actions taken by new administrations may have an adverse impact on our industry and business or may indirectly affect us because of adverse impacts on our customers, suppliers and manufacturers, which could result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and future growth.

We have a history of generating net losses, and if we are unable to achieve an adequate level of revenue or grow our revenue or manage our expenses, we may not have sufficient cash to fund our future operations or achieve or maintain profitability in the future.

We have a history of incurring net losses, and we may not achieve or maintain profitability in the future. We experienced net losses of $1.0 million and $7.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, we had an accumulated deficit of $75.8 million. In the second half of 2023, we also experienced higher operating losses than in previous quarters, primarily as a result of higher channel inventories, order cancellations and a slowdown in the macroeconomic environment. As a result, we cannot accurately predict when or whether we will reach or maintain profitability. We expect our costs will increase over time and our losses to continue as we expect to continue to invest significant additional funds in expanding our business, sales, and marketing activities, and research and development as we continue to develop our products and services, and maintain high levels of customer support, each of which we consider critical to our continued success. We also expect to incur additional general and administrative expenses as we continue to support our operations as a public company. Historically, our costs have increased over the years due to these factors, and we expect to continue to incur increasing costs to support our anticipated future growth. If we are unable to generate adequate revenue or grow our revenue and manage our expenses, we may continue to incur significant losses and may not have sufficient cash to fund our future operations or achieve or maintain profitability.

Given the challenging macroeconomic conditions outlined above, the Company has taken measures to preserve liquidity, including the strategic decision to restructure our operations and reduce our workforce by 15% in December 2023. The Company closely monitors these conditions and may need to reduce operational expenditures further.

We may also make decisions that could adversely affect our short-term operating results if we believe those decisions improve the experiences of our customers and if we believe such decisions will improve our operating results over the long term. Our decisions may not be consistent with the expectations of investors and may not produce the short-term or long-term benefits that we expect, in which case our business may be materially and adversely affected.

We will likely require additional capital, which additional financing may result in restrictions on our operations or substantial dilution to our stockholders, to sustain and grow our business, and this capital might not be available on acceptable terms, if at all.

We have funded our operations since inception primarily through financing transactions such as the issuance of bonds, convertible promissory notes and loans, and sales of convertible preferred stock. We cannot be certain when or if our operations will generate sufficient cash to fully fund our ongoing operations, service our indebtedness, including the Convertible Promissory Note, or invest in the growth of our business. We intend to continue to make investments to support our business, which may require us to engage in equity or debt financings to secure additional funds. Additional financing may not be available on terms favorable to us, if at all. In particular, the current disruption in the global financial markets may reduce our ability to access capital and negatively affect our liquidity in the future. The Company intends to secure additional funding from either public or private financing sources, however as the plans are outside of management’s control, the Company cannot ensure they will be effectively implemented. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, or at all, we may be unable to fully fund our ongoing operations, service our indebtedness, including the Convertible Promissory Note, or invest in future growth opportunities, which could harm our business, operating results, and financial condition. If we incur additional debt, the debt holders would have rights senior to holders of common stock to make claims on our assets, and the terms of any debt could restrict our operations, including our ability to pay dividends to holders of our common stock. If we undertake discretionary financing by issuing equity securities, our stockholders may experience substantial dilution. We may sell common stock, convertible securities or other equity securities in one or more transactions at a price per share that is less than the price per share paid by current stockholders. If we sell common stock, convertible securities, or other equity securities in more than one transaction, stockholders may be further diluted by subsequent sales. Additionally, future equity financings may result in new investors receiving rights superior to our existing stockholders. Because our decision to issue securities in the future will depend on numerous considerations, including factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing, or nature of any future issuances of debt or equity securities. As a result, our stockholders bear the risk of future issuances of debt or equity securities reducing the value of our common stock and diluting their interests.

Our indebtedness and liabilities could limit the cash flow available for our operations, expose us to risks that could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness and impair our ability to satisfy our obligations under the Convertible Note.

Our indebtedness could have material adverse consequences for our security holders and our business, results of operations and financial condition by, among other things:

•

increasing our vulnerability to adverse economic and industry conditions;

•

limiting our ability to obtain additional financing;

•

limiting our flexibility to plan for, or react to, changes in our business;

•

diluting the interests of our existing security holders as a result of issuing common stock upon conversion of the Convertible Note; and

•

placing us at a possible competitive disadvantage with competitors that are less leveraged than us or have better access to capital.

The Convertible Note includes financially restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to incur additional debt. Without the consent of the holder of the Convertible Note, we may not create, incur, assume, guarantee, or be or remain liable with respect to any senior indebtedness exceeding the greater of (i) $150,000,000 in the aggregate, (ii) an amount equal to 500% of Adjusted EBITDA for the period of 12 consecutive months ending on the last day of the fiscal month ended most recently prior to the date of incurrence of such senior indebtedness or (iii) the amount of senior indebtedness incurred by the Company pursuant to one or more asset-based credit facilities, working capital facilities, or receivable facilities secured only by liens on our or our subsidiaries’ assets and property, plus interest accruing thereon and the termination value of interest rate hedges or currency swaps in respect thereof.

The Convertible Note matures on January 9, 2026. At maturity, unless converted at the election of the holder or redeemed by us with the consent of the holder, we will need to repay the principal amount under the Convertible Note. As of September 30, 2024, the conversion price of the Convertible Promissory Note is higher than the price at which our shares of common stock have traded on Nasdaq since August 2023, therefore we do not currently expect that the holder will elect to convert the Convertible Promissory Note into shares of our common stock. As of September 30, 2024, we have not generated sufficient funds, and we may not otherwise be able to generate sufficient funds or maintain sufficient cash reserves, to pay amounts due under our indebtedness, including the Convertible Note, and our cash needs may increase in the future.

Issuance of Shares upon Vesting.

(a)

As soon as administratively practicable following the vesting of any Performance Stock Units pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof, but in no event later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which such PSUs become vested (for the avoidance of doubt, this deadline is intended to comply with the “short term deferral” exemption from Section 409A of the Code), the Company shall deliver to the Participant (or any transferee permitted under Section 3.2 hereof) a number of Shares equal to the number of PSUs subject to this Award that vest on the applicable vesting date (rounded down to the nearest whole share). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Shares cannot be issued pursuant to Section 9(d) of the Plan, the Shares shall be issued pursuant to the preceding sentence as soon as administratively practicable after the Administrator determines that Shares can again be issued in accordance with such Section.

(b)

As set forth in Section 14(c) of the Plan, the Company shall have the authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or to require the Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy all applicable federal, state and local taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising in connection with the Performance Stock Units. Additionally, the Company may, in its sole discretion, satisfy any withholding obligations relating to Participant’s PSUs by any of the following means or by a combination of such means: (i) withholding shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to the Participant upon vesting of the PSUs, (ii) instructing a broker on the Participant’s behalf to sell shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to the Participant upon vesting of the PSUs sufficient to generate net proceeds sufficient to satisfy the Company’s minimum statutory withholding obligations with respect to the income recognized by the Participant upon the vesting of the PSUs (based on minimum statutory withholding rates for all tax purposes, including payroll and social security taxes, that are applicable to such income) and the net proceeds of such sale shall be submitted to the Company, (iii) requiring Participant to make a payment in cash to the Company, or (iv) using any other method approved by the Company, and to the extent required by applicable laws or the Plan, approved by the Administrator. Until determined otherwise by the Company, clause (ii) will be the method by which such withholding obligations are satisfied, unless the Participant choses to satisfy his or her withholding obligation in accordance with clause (iii) at any time not less than five (5) business days before any withholding obligation arises. The Company shall not be obligated to deliver any Shares to the Participant or the Participant’s legal representative unless and until the Participant or the Participant’s legal representative shall have paid or otherwise satisfied in full the amount of all federal, state and local taxes applicable to the taxable income of the Participant resulting from the grant or vesting of the Performance Stock Units or the issuance of Shares.

Without prejudice to the provisions of Section 14(c) of the Plan, Participant acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, the Employer, the ultimate liability for all income tax, social security and other tax-related items related to Participant's participation in the Plan and the PSUs and legally applicable to Participant or deemed by the Company, the Board or the Employer in its discretion to be an appropriate charge to Participant even if legally applicable to the Company, Board or the Employer (to the extent lawful) (collectively, “Tax-Related Items”) is and remains Participant's responsibility and may exceed the amount (if any) withheld by the Company, the Board or the Employer, and Participant hereby covenants to pay any such Tax-Related Items, as and when requested by the Employer, the Company, the Board, any Affiliate or any tax authority. Participant further acknowledges that (i) neither the Company, the Board nor the Employer make any representation or undertaking regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the PSUs including, without limitation, the grant or vesting of the PSUs or the subsequent sale/disposal of the PSUs; and (ii) the Company, the Board and the Employer do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the PSUs to reduce or eliminate Participant's liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if Participant is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction between the date on which the PSUs are granted and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, Participant acknowledges that the Company, the Board or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

The Plan is established voluntarily by the Company. It is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, unless otherwise provided in the Plan and this Agreement.

3.17

Limitation on Participant’s Rights. Participation in the Plan confers no rights or interests other than as herein provided.

The Participant shall have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to amounts credited and benefits payable, if any, with respect to the PSUs, and rights no greater than the right to receive the Shares as a general unsecured creditor with respect to PSUs, as and when payable hereunder.

The Parties agree that Employee shall be responsible for any tax liabilities that might be asserted with respect to the Severance Payment. Employee agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Company for any tax liability imposed, or any related penalty assessed, relating to this payment.
