Current report

On May 16, 2024, the Company received a notice from the Staff of the Nasdaq Stock Market informing the Company that it no longer complies with the requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) to maintain a minimum of $2,500,000 in stockholders’ equity for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Equity Rule”) because the Company reported stockholders’ equity of negative $11.2 million in its Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2024, and, as of the date of the Notice, the Company did not meet the alternatives of market value of listed securities or net income from continuing operations. Accordingly, the Notice indicates that this matter serves as an additional basis for delisting the Company’s securities from the Nasdaq Stock Market.

Current report

On June 12, 2024, the Company effected a 1-for-15 reverse stock split in an effort to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Rule. On July 18, 2024, the Company received a notice from the Staff informing the Company that it has regained compliance with the Bid Price Rule, and that, as a result, the Company will be subject to a Mandatory Panel Monitor for a period of one year from the date of this letter in accordance with Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(B). If, within that one-year monitoring period, the Staff finds the Company again out of compliance with the Bid Price Rule, the Company will not be permitted to provide the Staff with a plan of compliance with respect to that deficiency and the Staff will not be permitted to grant additional time for the Company to regain compliance with respect to that deficiency, nor will the Company be afforded an applicable cure or compliance period pursuant to Rule 5810(c)(3). Instead, the Staff will issue a Delist Determination Letter and the Company will have an opportunity to request a new hearing with the initial panel or a newly convened Hearings Panel if the initial panel is unavailable. The Company will have the opportunity to respond/present to the Hearings Panel as provided by Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(C). The Company’s securities may be at that time delisted from Nasdaq.

Current report

On July 19, 2024, the shareholders approved an increase in authorized shares which gives the Company sufficient shares to settle the conversion of the Company’s convertible preferred stock and warrants into common stock. As a result, on July 26, 2024, the Company received a decision from the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) informing the Company that Nasdaq has determined and agreed that the Company is now in compliance with the Equity Rule. The Company will remain on a one-year Nasdaq Panel Monitor, which means that if the Company falls out of compliance again, it will not be able to submit a remediation plan to the Staff, but rather it will be required to go back into the hearings process.

Current report

While the bridge loan financing the Company obtained on July 22, 2024 will assist with the Company’s working capital needs, this additional financing is not sufficient to make the outstanding earnout payment or the first principal payment on the long-term note.

Reworded paragraphs (4)

Previous wording

Following the Company’s Special Meeting of Shareholders that was held on April 12, 2024, at which the reverse stock split proposal was not approved, the Company provided the Panel with an update on the Company’s plan to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Rule and an extension request until July 24, 2024. On April 19, 2024, the Panel granted an extension for the Company to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Rule until July 24, 2024, conditioned upon:

Previous wording

While on January 3, 2024 the Company’s shareholders approved a reverse stock split of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock at a ratio within a range of 1-for-2 to 1-for-15, as determined by our board of directors, the board has not implemented a reverse stock split pursuant to that approval, and has determined that, based on recent stock prices of the Company’s common stock, the maximum ratio under that approved range of 1-for-15 would not be sufficient to cause the stock price to increase or be maintained at a level that would satisfy the Minimum Bid Rule. As a result, the board previously called a special meeting of shareholders to request, among other matters, that its shareholders approve a reverse stock split of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock at a ratio within a range of 1-for-25 and 1-for-200, as determined by the board. However, the reverse stock split was not approved at the special meeting.

Current wording

While on July 19, 2024 the Company’s shareholders approved a reverse stock split of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock at a ratio within a range of 1-for-2 to 1-for-200, as determined by our board of directors, the board has not implemented a reverse stock split pursuant to that approval.

Previous wording

As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 22, 2024, the Company intends to hold its 2024 annual meeting of shareholders on July 1, 2024, in part, to comply with the conditions of the extension. However, failure to meet any of the terms of this extension could result in the immediate delisting of the Company’s securities from the Nasdaq Stock Market. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to satisfy the conditions of the Panel’s extension, approve the reverse stock split at the annual meeting, or that the Company will be able meet the continued listing requirements during any compliance period or in the future. If the Company is unable to regain or maintain compliance with these Nasdaq requirements, its common stock will be delisted from Nasdaq.

Current wording

Failure to meet any of the terms of Nasdaq Panel Monitor could result in the immediate delisting of the Company’s securities from the Nasdaq Stock Market, subject to a request by the Company for a new hearing with the initial panel or a newly convened Hearings Panel. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to continue satisfying the continued listing requirements during the compliance period or in the future or effect another reverse stock split. If the Company is unable to maintain compliance with these Nasdaq requirements, its common stock will be delisted from Nasdaq.

Previous wording

Based on the Company’s current financial position, including the approximately $1.5 million of cash, restricted cash, cash equivalents and investments that are restricted under the Company’s contingent value rights (“CVR”) agreement and cannot be used by the Company for its own working capital needs, the Company does not have sufficient cash to make the first earnout payment under the SUNation Transaction Agreement, which was due on May 6, 2024, and the Company’s forecasted future cash flows for twelve months beyond the date of issuance of the financial statements in this report indicate that the Company will not have sufficient cash to make the first principal payment of the long-term note that is due on November 9, 2024. As a result, the Company requires additional funding and seeks to raise capital through sources that may include public or private equity offerings, debt financings and/or strategic alliances. However, additional funding may not be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all. If the Company is unable to raise additional funds, it would have a negative impact on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. Furthermore, failure to make earnout payments under the SUNation Transaction Agreement, which are prohibited under the Loan Agreement, could result in a breach under the SUNation Transaction Agreement.
