Previous wording
The U.S. government has announced baseline tariffs of 10% on products from virtually all foreign countries and an additional individualized reciprocal tariff on the countries with which the United States has the largest trade deficits. Additionally, tariffs have been placed on the importation of certain materials. As a result of the administration's trade policies, tariffs have increased and may increase our material input costs. Any further trade restrictions, retaliatory trade measures and additional tariffs could result in higher input costs to our products, increased costs and delays in meeting our customers’ orders. It remains unclear to what extent, upon which countries, and upon which terms, tariffs may be levied. There remains much uncertainty regarding the full scope of tariffs, if they will be increased, decreased or eliminated altogether and, to the extent that such trade policies impact our supply chain, we may not be able to fully mitigate the impact of these increased costs or pass price increases on to our customers.

In addition, certain legal challenges have been initiated against the Trump Administration’s ability to implement such tariffs with the success of such challenges uncertain as of this time. To the extent that such trade policies impact our supply chain, we may not be able to fully mitigate the impact of these increased costs or pass price increases on to our customers.

On April 28, 2025, weannounced the formation of Stateline, an entity involving our newly formed, wholly owned subsidiary Solaris Power Solutions and CTC, an affiliate of an industry leader in the evolving AI computer space. CTC subsequently assigned its interest in Stateline to MZX, an affiliate of CTC. Stateline is expected to account for approximately 900 MW (or approximately 53% of our Solaris Power Solutions’ generation assets), and as such, Stateline subjects our overall business to a number of risks, including:

Previous wording
We may be unable to raise the funds necessary to repurchase the Convertible Senior Notes for cash following a fundamental change or to pay any cash amounts due upon maturity or conversion of the Convertible Senior Notes, and our other indebtedness limits our ability to repurchase the Convertible Senior Notes or to pay any cash amounts due upon their maturity or conversion.
Current wording
We may be unable to raise the funds necessary to repurchase the 2030 Notes or 2031 Notes for cash following a fundamental change or to pay any cash amounts due upon maturity or conversion of the 2030 Notes or 2031 Notes, and our other indebtedness limits our ability to repurchase the 2030 Notes or 2031 Notes or to pay any cash amounts due upon their maturity or conversion.

their principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest in cash, unless they have been previously repurchased, redeemed or converted. In addition, upon conversion, we will satisfy part or all of our conversion obligation in cash unless we elect to settle conversions solely in shares of our Class A common stock. We may not have enough available cash or be able to obtain financing at the time we are required to repurchase the Convertible Senior Notes or pay any cash amounts due upon their maturity or conversion. In addition, applicable law, regulatory authorities and the agreements governing our other indebtedness may restrict our ability to repurchase the Convertible Senior Notes or pay any cash amounts due upon their maturity or conversion. For example, we expect to fund payments due on the Convertible Senior Notes from corresponding payments due to us under the subordinated intercompany convertible note to be issued by Solaris LLC to us. Each of our Term Loan Agreement and revolving credit facility will prohibit Solaris LLC from making payments to us under the subordinated intercompany convertible note except to provide for regularly scheduled interest payments, provided no events of default exists under the Term Loan Agreement or revolving credit facility, as applicable, or would result therefrom, and except for certain other payments in equity interests. Accordingly, we may not have access to funds from Solaris LLC to repurchase the Convertible Senior Notes for cash following a fundamental change or to pay any cash amounts due upon conversion of the Convertible Senior Notes. We may seek to obtain a waiver under the Term Loan Agreement and revolving credit facility to permit these payments, but we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain such a waiver. Unless we exercise our option to settle conversions solely in shares, our failure to repurchase the Convertible Senior Notes or to pay the cash amounts due upon their maturity or conversion when required will constitute a default under the indenture governing the Convertible Senior Notes (the “Indenture”). A default under the Indenture or the fundamental change itself could also lead to a default under agreements governing our other indebtedness, which may result in that other indebtedness becoming immediately payable in full. We may not have sufficient funds to satisfy all amounts due under the other indebtedness and the Convertible Senior Notes.
Current wording
Noteholders may, subject to a limited exception, require us to repurchase their 2030 Notes or 2031 Notes, as applicable, following a fundamental change at a cash repurchase price generally equal to the principal amount of the 2030 Notes or 2031 Notes, as applicable, to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. Upon maturity of the 2030 Notes or 2031 Notes, as applicable, we must pay their principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest in cash, unless they have been previously repurchased, redeemed or converted. In addition, upon conversion, we will satisfy part or all of our conversion obligation in cash unless we elect to settle conversions solely in shares of our Class A common stock.

The issuance of shares of our Class A common stock upon conversion of the Convertible Senior Notes will dilute the ownership interests of our stockholders and could depress the trading price of our Class A common stock.
Current wording
The issuance of shares of our Class A common stock upon conversion of each of the 2030 Notes and 2031 Notes will dilute the ownership interests of our stockholders and could depress the trading price of our Class A common stock.
Previous wording
Upon conversion of the Convertible Senior Notes offered in the Notes Offering, we will satisfy part or all of our conversion obligations in shares of our Class A common stock, unless we elect to settle conversions solely in cash. The issuance of shares of our Class A common stock upon conversion of the Convertible Senior Notes will dilute the ownership interests of our stockholders, which could depress the trading price of our Class A common stock. In addition, the market’s expectation that conversions may occur could depress the trading price of our Class A common stock even in the absence of actual conversions. Moreover, the expectation of conversions could encourage the short selling of our Class A common stock, which could place further downward pressure on the trading price of our Class A common stock.

Provisions in the indenture governing the Convertible Senior Notes could delay or prevent an otherwise beneficial takeover of us.
Current wording
Provisions in the indentures governing the 2030 Notes and 2031 Notes could delay or prevent an otherwise beneficial takeover of us.
Previous wording
Certain provisions in the Convertible Senior Notes and the Indenture could make a third party attempt to acquire us more difficult or expensive. For example, if a takeover constitutes a “fundamental change” (as defined in the Indenture), then investors of the Convertible Senior Notes will have the right to require us to repurchase their Convertible Senior Notes for cash. In addition, if a takeover constitutes a “Make-Whole Fundamental Change” (as defined in the Indenture), then we may be required to temporarily increase the conversion rate for the Convertible Senior Notes. In either case, and in other cases, our obligations under the Convertible Senior Notes and the Indenture could increase the cost of acquiring us or otherwise discourage a third party from acquiring us or removing incumbent management, including in a transaction that holders of our Class A common stock may view as favorable.

Previous wording
In the event the conditional conversion feature of the Convertible Senior Notes is triggered, holders of such notes will be entitled to convert the Convertible Senior Notes at any time during specified periods at their option. If one or more holders elect to convert their Convertible Senior Notes, we may elect to settle all or a portion of our conversion obligation through the payment of cash, which could adversely affect our liquidity. In addition, even if holders do not elect to convert their Convertible Senior Notes, we could be required under applicable accounting rules to reclassify all

In the event the conditional conversion feature of the 2030 Notes and 2031 Notes, respectively, is triggered, holders of such notes will be entitled to convert the 2030 Notes or 2031 Notes, as applicable, at any time during specified periods at their option. If one or more holders elect to convert their 2030 Notes or 2031 Notes, as applicable, we may elect to settle all or a portion of our conversion obligation through the payment of cash, which could adversely affect our liquidity. In addition, even if holders do not elect to convert their 2030 Notes or 2031 Notes, as applicable, we could be required under applicable accounting rules to reclassify all or a portion of the outstanding principal of the 2030 Notes or 2031 Notes, as applicable, as a current rather than long-term liability, which would result in a material reduction of our net working capital.

Previous wording
The accounting method for reflecting the Convertible Senior Notes on our balance sheet, accruing interest expense for the Convertible Senior Notes and reflecting the underlying shares of our Class A common stock in our reported diluted earnings per share may adversely affect our reported earnings and financial condition.
Current wording
The accounting method for reflecting the 2030 Notes and 2031 Notes, as applicable, on our balance sheet, accruing interest expense for the 2030 Notes and 2031 Notes, as applicable, and reflecting the underlying shares of our Class A common stock in our reported diluted earnings per share may adversely affect our reported earnings and financial condition.
Previous wording
In accordance with applicable accounting standards, we expect that the Convertible Senior Notes will be reflected as a liability on our balance sheets, with the initial carrying amount equal to the principal amount of the Convertible Senior Notes, net of issuance costs. The issuance costs will be treated as a debt discount for accounting purposes, which will be amortized into interest expense over the term of the Convertible Senior Notes. As a result of this amortization, the interest expense that we expect to recognize for the Convertible Senior Notes for accounting purposes will be greater than the cash interest payments we will pay on the Convertible Senior Notes, which will result in lower reported income.

Previous wording
In addition, we expect that the shares of Class A common stock underlying the Convertible Senior Notes will be reflected in our diluted earnings per share using the “if converted” method. Under that method, diluted earnings per share would generally be calculated assuming that all the Convertible Senior Notes were converted solely into shares of our Class A common stock at the beginning of the reporting period, unless the result would be anti-dilutive. The application of the if-converted method may reduce our reported diluted earnings per share, and accounting standards may change in the future in a manner that may adversely affect our diluted earnings per share.

Furthermore, if any of the conditions to the convertibility of the Convertible Senior Notes is satisfied, then we may be required under applicable accounting standards to reclassify the liability carrying value of the Convertible Senior Notes as a current, rather than a long-term, liability. This reclassification could be required even if no noteholders convert their Convertible Senior Notes and could materially reduce our reported working capital.
