Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

MBB Energy Line of Credit Agreement

 

As previously disclosed, on April 14, 2025, SUNation Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Secured Revolving Line of Credit Agreement (the “Line of Credit Agreement”) and Secured Revolving Line of Credit Agreement Note (“Line of Credit Note”) 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 Messrs. Scott Maskin and James Brennan. 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 initial Maturity Date of April 15, 2026, subject to the terms, provisions and limitations set forth in the Agreement.

 

On April 14, 2026, the Board of Directors of the Company agreed to amend the Line of Credit Agreement and the Line of Credit Note in two principal respects: (i) to extend the Maturity Date by six (6) months to October 15, 2026 (“New Maturity Date”), and (ii) to increase the aggregate dollar capacity of the Line of Credit Agreement by fifty percent from a previous total of $1,000,000 to a new aggregate total of $1,500,000 (“Line of Credit Capacity”). Accordingly, the Company has amended the Line of Credit Agreement and amended the Line of Credit Note, in each case to reflect the New Maturity Date and increased Line of Credit Capacity.

 

Long Term Note

 

As previously disclosed, in connection with the acquisition of the New York based subsidiaries of SUNation on November 9, 2022, the Company issued a $5,486,000 Long-Term Promissory Note (the “Long-Term Note”). On April 10, 2025, the Long-Term Note was amended and restated whereby the principal amount of $5,486,000 previously due and payable under the original Long-Term Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest owing thereunder, became due and payable on May 1, 2028, and such amended note became a senior secured instrument of the Company. Principal and interest payments under the amended Long-Term Note are payable monthly on the first day of each month commencing on June 1, 2025 for thirty-six (36) consecutive months thereafter.

 

On April 14, 2026, the Board of Directors approved entry into a “Debt Conversion Agreement” in connection with the conversion of up to $1,200,000 of debt payable under the Long-Term Note into shares of restricted common stock (the “Conversion Shares”) of the Company pursuant to Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on the following terms: (1) the Conversion Shares shall consist of restricted shares of voting common stock, par value $.05 per share, (2) the Conversion Shares shall be issued at a price per share of $1.77, which reflects a premium of 10% above the closing price of the Company’s common stock on Nasdaq Stock Market on April 13, 2026 (and also above the 5-day closing average), and (3) the Conversion Shares shall be locked-up (non-tradeable, non-transferable and non-saleable) for a period of 180 days from the date of issuance, and further subject to such other applicable SEC and Nasdaq Stock Market rules, regulations and restrictions, including Rule 144, on shares held by persons deemed to be control persons or affiliates of the Company.

 

The conversion of debt to equity of the Long-Term Note will reduce the outstanding secured debt of the Company payable under the Long-Term Note in the near term by approximately $1,200,000. The Conversion Shares shall be issued to Messrs. Scott Maskin and James Brennan, each of whom is an affiliate and related party of the Company by virtue of their respective roles as chief executive officer and chief financial officer of the Company.

 

The foregoing description of the amended Line of Credit Agreement, Line of Credit Note and Debt Conversion Agreement, in each case, does not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the amendment to the Line of Credit Agreement, amended Line of Credit Note, and the Debt Conversion Agreement, each of which are filed herewith as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.

This Note amends and restates and is given in substitution for, but not in satisfaction of, that certain Secured Revolving Line of Credit Note due April 15, 2026, dated April 14, 2025, issued by Borrower in favor of Lender in the original principal amount of $1,000,000.00 (the “Existing Note”). All amounts owing by Borrower in respect of the Existing Note shall continue to be owing by Borrower hereunder and shall be evidenced by this Note.

 

1. Loans. Lender may make one or more loans (individually a “Loan” and, collectively, the “Loans”) to Borrower from time to time during the Term upon Borrower’s written request made in accordance with the Credit Agreement; provided that no Loan shall be made if, after giving effect to such Loan, the aggregate principal sum of all outstanding Loans would exceed the Maximum Credit Line. During the Term, Borrower may from time to time borrow, repay and reborrow all or part of the outstanding balance of the Loans on or after the date hereof and prior to the Maturity Date, subject to the terms, provisions and limitations set forth in this Note and the Credit Agreement.

BORROWER AND LENDER EACH HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING, AT LAW OR IN EQUITY, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS NOTE.

Exhibit 99.1

 

 

 

SUNation Energy Announces Reduction in Long-Term Debt by Approximately $1.2 Million

 

Transaction intended to lower leverage and reduce future cash obligations and better align its capital structure

 

Expected to retire approximately $1.2 million of long-term debt

 

RONKONKOMA, N.Y., April 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SUNation Energy, Inc. (Nasdaq: SUNE) (“SUNation” or the “Company”), a leading provider of residential and commercial solar energy systems, battery storage solutions, and comprehensive energy services, today announced that its Board of Directors has approved, subject to final documentation and customary closing conditions, a partial conversion of certain outstanding long-term debt into shares of restricted common stock as the next step in the Company’s deliberate transformation designed to simplify its balance sheet and reduce legacy debt obligations, while also better aligning its capital structure with existing shareholders.

 

The transaction will reduce SUNation’s outstanding long-term debt by approximately $1.2 million and will reduce or eliminate certain near-term cash obligations associated with servicing this debt. The Company believes the transaction will further strengthen its balance sheet while supporting its broader efforts as it explores strategic transactions, which it announced on April 9, 2026.

 

Under the terms, SUNation would issue approximately 677,000 shares of its restricted common stock in exchange for the near term retirement of approximately $1.2 million of long-term debt under its outstanding April 2025 (originally November 2022) senior secured promissory note held by the Company’s chief executive offer and chief financial officer. The shares of common stock will be issued at $1.77 per share, which carries a 10% premium to the closing price of April 13, 2026. The restricted share issuance will represent an aggregate of approximately 19.9% of the Company’s outstanding public float, all of such shares will be locked-up for not less than 180 days from the date of issuance (and subject to additional affiliate restrictions under applicable securities laws). The Company expects the transaction, upon completion, to reduce leverage, improve near term cash flow by eliminating or lowering monthly debt service requirements through September 2026, and better align stakeholders with the Company’s long-term equity value creation objectives.

 

This conversion of a portion of the Company’s secured debt to equity is another step in a series of meaningful steps that the Company has taken over the past year to reduce near-term balance sheet pressure by minimizing cash usage, while supporting the Company’s ongoing strategic review process. The Company believes this near term retirement of a portion of secured related-party liability in exchange for its restricted common stock at a premium to the market price is consistent with that approach, including, by way of example, the elimination of an aggregate of approximately $14 million in other short and long term debt obligations over the past 14 months.

 


 

 

 

SUNation does not intend to provide additional updates regarding the strategic review process unless the Board of Directors approves a specific course of action or the Company otherwise determines that additional disclosure is appropriate or necessary.

 

This press release is not intended to and shall not constitute an offer to buy or sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy or sell any securities, or a solicitation of any vote or approval, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. No offer of securities shall be made, except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act.
