Item 8.01. Other Events

 

In July 2021, Siemens Government Technologies, Inc. and Siemens Industry, Inc. (collectively, “Siemens”) filed a lawsuit against Solaria Corporation and SolarCA, LLC, which are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Complete Solaria, Inc. (collectively, the “Subsidiaries”), in Fairfax Circuit Court (the “Court”) in Fairfax, Virginia in the case captioned Siemens Government Technologies, Inc. and Siemens Industry Inc. v. Solaria Corporation and SOLARCA, LLC (Case No. CL-2021-10556). In such lawsuit, Siemens alleged that the Subsidiaries breached express and implied warranties under a purchase order that Siemens placed with the Subsidiaries for a solar module system. Siemens claimed damages of approximately $6.9 million, inclusive of amounts of the Subsidiaries’ indemnity obligations to Siemens, plus attorneys’ fees.

 

On February 22, 2024, the Court issued an order against the Subsidiaries which awards Siemens approximately $6.9 million, inclusive of amounts of the Subsidiaries’ indemnity obligations to Siemens, plus attorney’s fees, the amount of which will be determined at a later hearing. Pending entry of a final judgement by the Court, the Subsidiaries intend to appeal such judgment.
