Item 3.03. Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.
On April 4, 2024, SUNation Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) filed an Amended Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware reflecting an increase of its authorized shares of common stock to 1,000,000,000 shares, the form of which is annexed hereto as Exhibit 3.1.
Among other proposals described and as set forth in Item 5.07 of this current report, the amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company was approved by security holders from whom proxies were solicited pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
The information and description of the amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company set forth in Item 3.03 of this current report is incorporated by reference into this Item 5.03.
Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
On April 3, 2025, the Company held a Special Meeting of Shareholders (the “Special Meeting”). At the Special Meeting, the Company’s shareholders voted on the four proposals described below. The proposals presented at the Special Meeting are described in detail in the Definitive Proxy Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 10, 2025.
Of the 4,793,587 shares of Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote, including the shares of Series D Preferred Stock voting on an as converted basis, at the Special Meeting, 3,514,795, or 73.32%, of the outstanding and eligible shares, were present either in person or by proxy. Holders of Common Stock, including the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, voted one vote per share on all matters properly brought before the Special Meeting; however, shares of common stock purchased by investors in our equity offering executed on February 27, 2025 were excluded from the tabulation relating to Proposal 3, which related to the approval of such offering sought in compliance with Nasdaq Rule 5635.
Therefore, a total of (i) 4,793,587 votes were entitled to be cast at the meeting with respect to Proposals 1, 2 and 4, and (ii) 2,828,587 votes were entitled to be cast at the meeting with respect to the Proposal 3, each as set forth below.
The results for each of the proposals submitted to a vote of shareholders at the Special Meeting are as follows:
Proposal No. 1 – Approve a Charter Amendment to Increase Authorized Shares

| For | Against | Abstain | ||||||||
| 3,080,634 | 424,381 | 9,780 | ||||||||
Proposal No. 2 – Approve Discretionary Authority to Effectuate Reverse Stok Split

| 512,528 | 125,969 | 6,415 | 1,164,883 | |||||||||||
Proposal No. 4 – Approval to Adjourn the Meeting
The Company’s shareholders approved the one or more adjournments of the Special Meeting to a later date or dates to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes to approve any of the proposals at the time of the Special Meeting; however, since a quorum was present for the transaction of business and there were sufficient shares voted to approve Proposals 1, 2 and 3, no adjournment vote was sought and Proposal 4 was not moved forward.:
