Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On April 14, 2025, SUNation Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Secured Revolving Line of Credit Agreement (the “Agreement”) between the Company and MBB Energy, LLC, a New York limited liability company, pursuant to which the Company may request one or more loans of up to an aggregate principle amount $1,000,000 under this line of credit for a period of one (1) year (the “Term”) from the date or entry. Any loans drawn by the Company under this line of credit facility will carry interest on an annualized basis of 8%, payable monthly on the first day of each month thereafter. MBB Energy, LLC is an affiliate and related party of the Company by virtue of MBB Energy, LLC being an entity controlled by Scott Maskin. During the Term, the Company may from time to time borrow, repay and reborrow all or part of the outstanding balance of the loans drawn thereunder on or after the date hereof and prior to the Maturity Date (or April 15, 2026), subject to the terms, provisions and limitations set forth in the Agreement.

 

The foregoing description of the Agreement, as well as the Security Agreement securing any loans made under the Agreement, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement, as well as the Security Agreement related thereto, is filed as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10. 2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

 

The information set forth in Item 1.01 is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

 

On April 11, 2025 , the Company received a letter (the “Minimum Bid Price Deficiency Letter”) from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, for the 30 consecutive business day period immediately preceding deficiency letter, the Company’s common stock had not maintained a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”) and, as a result, does not comply with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Rule”). Normally, a company would be afforded a 180-calendar day period to demonstrate compliance with the Rule (“Cure Period”); however, pursuant to Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iv), the Company is not eligible for a customary Cure Period specified in Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) due to the fact that the Company has effected a reverse stock split over the prior one-year period or has effected one or more reverse stock splits over the prior two-year period with a cumulative ratio of 250 shares or more to one.

 

Instead, the Company is offered an opportunity to appeal any deficiency related to a delisting determination to Nasdaq by seven days from receipt of the non-compliance notice. Accordingly, unless the Company timely requests a hearing before a Hearings Panel, the Company’s securities would be subject to suspension/delisting.

 

The Company intends to timely request a hearing before the Hearing Panel. The hearing request will automatically stay any suspension or delisting action pending the hearing and the expiration of any additional extension period if granted by the Panel following the hearing. There can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company an additional extension period or that the Company will ultimately regain compliance with all applicable requirements for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market.

 

In the event that the Company regains compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement prior to any scheduled hearing date, then a hearing may not be necessary, as the Company may be mooted out of the hearings process. Additionally, to this end, the stockholders of the Company had approved a share consolidation on April 3, 2025 that can be utilized within the discretion of the board of directors of the Company and, if and when effectuated, such action may resolve the above noted Nasdaq listing compliance deficiency prior to such hearing date.

 

Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

 

To the extent required by Item 3.03 of Form 8-K, the information contained in Item 5.03 herein is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.03.

 

Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

 

Effective April 16, 2025, the Company amended its Certificate of Incorporation (“Certificate of Amendment”) to implement a one-for-two hundred reverse stock split. The Company’s common stock will began trading on a split-adjusted basis when the market opens on April 21. 2025 (the “Effective Date”). The Board of Directors of the Company approved the amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation primarily to meet the share bid price requirements of the NASDAQ Capital Market. The Company’s stockholders approved the Certificate of Amendment at a special meeting of its stockholders held on April 3, 2025.

 

As a result of the reverse stock split, at 12:01 a.m. Central Time on the Effective Date, every 200 shares of common stock then issued and outstanding automatically will be combined into one share of common stock, with no change in par value per share. No fractional shares will be outstanding following the reverse stock split, and any fractional shares that would have resulted from the reverse stock split will be rounded up to the nearest whole share. The text of the Certificate of Amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company that effected the foregoing actions is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

 

The trading symbol for the Company’s common stock will remain “SUNE.” The Company was assigned a new CUSIP number (72303P503) in connection with the reverse split. All options, warrants and other convertible securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Certificate of Amendment will be adjusted in accordance with the terms of the plans, agreements or arrangements governing such options, warrants and other convertible securities and subject to rounding to the nearest whole share.

Exhibit 3.1

 

CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT OF

CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

OF SUNATION ENERGY, INC.,

a Delaware Corporation

 

SUNation Energy, Inc. (the “Corporation”), a corporation organized and existing under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, hereby certifies as follows:

 

  1.

This Certificate of Amendment (the “Certificate of Amendment”) amends the provisions of the Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation filed with the Secretary of State on November 14, 2024, as amended on April 4, 2025 (the “Certificate of Incorporation”).

 

  2. Article V, Section 5.01(a) of the Certificate of Incorporation is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

“(a) The total number of shares of stock that the Corporation is authorized to issue is 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.05 per share (the “Common Stock”), and 3,000,000 preferred shares, par value $1.00 per share (the “Preferred Stock”).

 

Upon the filing and effectiveness (the “Effective Time”) pursuant to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware of this Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, each two hundred (200) shares of Common Stock either issued and outstanding or held by the Corporation in treasury stock immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, automatically and without any action on the part of the respective holders thereof, be combined and converted into one (1) share of Common Stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”).

 

No fractional shares shall be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Instead, holders who would be entitled to receive fractional shares of Common Stock because they hold a number of shares not evenly divisible by the Reverse Stock Split ratio will be issued an additional fraction of a share of Common Stock to round up to the next whole post-Reverse Stock Split share of Common Stock. For those stockholders who hold shares with a brokerage firm, the Company will round up fractional shares at the participant level. No cash will be paid in lieu of fractional shares. Each certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented shares of Common Stock (“Old Certificates”), shall thereafter represent that number of shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Common Stock represented by the Old Certificate shall have been combined, subject to the elimination of fractional share interests as described above.”

 

  3. This amendment was duly adopted and approved by the Board of Directors and stockholders of the Corporation in accordance with the applicable provisions of Sections 141(f), 228 and 242, respectively, of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

 

  4. All other provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation shall remain in full force and effect.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has caused this Certificate of Amendment to be signed by Scott Maskin, its Chief Executive Officer, this 16th day of April, 2025.

At any such sale, unless prohibited by applicable law, Secured Party or any custodian may bid for and purchase all or any part of the Collateral so sold free from any such right or equity of redemption. Neither Secured Party nor any custodian shall be liable for failure to collect or realize upon any or all of the Collateral or for any delay in so doing, nor shall it be under any obligation to take any action whatsoever with regard thereto. Secured Party shall not be obligated to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale.

No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of such right or power, but any such right and power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient.

 

8. Proceeds of Dispositions. Upon the occurrence and at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, Secured Party shall be authorized in its sole and absolute discretion to apply the net proceeds received from the sale or other disposition of any Collateral from Debtor or from any other source (after payment of all amounts due by Debtor to Priority Lender in accordance with the Subordination Agreement) in the following order of priority:

9.7. any other circumstance including without limitation any statute of limitations or manner of administering the Loans or any existence of or reliance on any representation by Secured Party that might vary the risk of Debtor or otherwise operate as a defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, Debtor or any other grantor, guarantor or surety.

EX-99.1 5 ea023842401ex99-1_sunation.htm PRESS RELEASE DATED APRIL 16, 2025

Exhibit 99.1

 

 

SUNATION ENERGY ANNOUNCES REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

 

RONKONKOMA, N.Y., April 16, 2025 - SUNation Energy, Inc. (Nasdaq: SUNE) (“SUNation” or “the Company”), a leading provider of sustainable solar energy and backup power solutions for households, businesses, and municipalities, today announced that its Board of Directors approved a 200 - for 1 reverse stock split of the Company’s outstanding common stock effective 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on April 21, 2025.

 

The Company’s common stock will continue to trade under the symbol “SUNE” and it is expected to open for trading on Nasdaq on April 21, 2025 on a post-split basis. The new CUSIP number for the common stock following the reverse stock split will be 72303P503.

 

The ratio of the reverse stock split is within the range approved by shareholders at a Special Meeting of Shareholders held on April 3, 2025. The reverse stock split is primarily intended to increase the market price per share of the Company’s common stock to regain compliance with the minimum bid price required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market.

 

Upon the effectiveness of the reverse stock split, every 200 shares of issued and outstanding Company common stock at the close of business on April 17, 2025 will be automatically combined into one issued and outstanding share of common stock, with no change in par value per share. The total shares outstanding stands at 672,799,910 as of April 11, 2025. The split, once effective, will result in there being approximately 3,364,000 shares outstanding immediately thereafter.

 

The reverse stock split does not reduce the number of shares of the Company’s authorized common stock. No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the reverse stock split and all such fractional interests will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares of common stock. The reverse stock split will affect all common shareholders uniformly and will not alter any shareholder’s percentage interest in the Company’s common stock, except to the extent that the reverse stock split results in some shareholders experiencing an adjustment of a fractional share as described above.

 

Shareholders holding their shares electronically in book-entry form are not required to take any action to receive the post-split shares. Shareholders holding physical share certificates will receive information from EQ Shareowner Services, the Company’s transfer agent, regarding the process for exchanging their shares of common stock. Shareholders with questions may contact the Company’s transfer agent by calling 800-401-1957.

 

Additional information about the reverse stock split can be found in the Company’s definitive proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 10, 2025, which is available at the SEC’s website, www.sec.gov.
