Pineapple Energy Encourages Shareholders to Vote FOR the Reverse Stock Split and Increase in Authorized Shares

MINNETONKA, Minn., April 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pineapple Energy Inc. (NASDAQ: PEGY) (“Pineapple” or the “Company”), a leading provider of sustainable solar energy and back-up power to households and small businesses encourages its shareholders to participate actively in the upcoming meeting of shareholders scheduled on April 12, 2024.

The Board of Directors emphasizes the importance of this shareholders’ vote, specifically urging for a positive vote FOR the reverse stock split and FOR the increase in authorized shares. If you have previously cast your vote against these proposals, we strongly recommend reconsidering your position and voting in favor of these proposals.

Pineapple’s management team is committed to growing leading local and regional solar, storage, and energy services companies nationwide. The Board believes that the reverse stock split and increase in authorized shares is instrumental for several reasons, including:

  • Maintenance with Nasdaq Listing Status: If the Reverse Stock Split Proposal is not approved by the Company’s shareholders, the Company’s common stock may be delisted from Nasdaq. Maintaining a Nasdaq listing is crucial for investor confidence, potential investment inflows, and to maintain liquidity in the Company’s common stock; and
  • Increased Shares to Satisfy Conversion Obligations and for Potential Fundraising: The Company is obligated to maintain a required minimum reserve of at least 200% of the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A convertible preferred stock and common stock warrants from the authorized shares of its common stock. Shareholders must approve the increase in authorized shares in order for the Company to have enough authorized shares to meet these obligations. In addition to satisfying its conversion obligations, additional authorized shares are needed to facilitate the Company’s ability to conduct a successful fundraising effort.

Failure to secure approval for the reverse stock split may hinder management’s ability to execute its strategy, to the potential detriment of shareholders. Additionally, it may impede business development initiatives dependent on the issuance of common stock. A Nasdaq delisting could complicate shareholders’ ability to trade the Company’s common stock, impact its price and affect the shareholders’ ability buy or sell when desired. It is essential to understand that a reverse stock split consolidates existing shares, preserving the Company’s overall value and each shareholder’s respective ownership percentage.

Failure to increase the company’s authorized shares will result in the Company being unable to meet its conversion obligations and will limit the Company’s ability to conduct successful fundraising. The inability to conduct successful fundraising raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
