On February 5, 2024, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain institutional investors (the “Purchasers”) for the sale by the Company of 2,702,703 shares of our common stock, in a registered direct offering (the “Direct Offering”). The Purchasers in this offering agreed to purchase, and the Company agreed to sell, such shares at a purchase price per share of $0.37. The sale closed on February 7, 2024 for an aggregate gross proceeds of $1.0 million. In connection with the Direct Offering, the Company also entered into a Limited Waiver and Amendment (the “Waiver”), dated February 5, 2024, with the Purchasers with respect to up to 50% of the shares of Series A convertible preferred stock issued pursuant to the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of our Series A convertible preferred stock, previously filed with the State of Minnesota on March 25, 2022 (the “Certificate of Designation”). The Certificate of Designation and the Company’s outstanding common stock purchase warrants, dated March 22, 2022, have anti-dilution provisions that would increase the number of shares issuable upon conversion or exercise, and lower the conversion or exercise price of our Series A convertible preferred stock and our common stock purchase warrants, respectively, if the Company issues equity securities at a price less than the current conversion or exercise price of our Series A convertible preferred stock and our common stock purchase warrants, respectively, at the time of such issuance. The anti-dilution provisions of the Certificate of Designation and our common stock purchase warrants reset (a) the conversion price of our Series A convertible preferred stock to the lower of the effective price per share of the subsequent equity sale or the lowest volume weighted average price of the common stock during the five consecutive trading days immediately following the public announcement of the execution of the dilutive issuance and (b) the exercise price of our common stock purchase warrants to the lower of the effective price per share of the subsequent equity sale or the lowest volume weighted average price of the common stock during the five consecutive trading days immediately following the public announcement of the execution of the dilutive issuance with the number of shares of the common stock issuable under our common stock purchase warrants increasing such that the aggregate exercise price payable under our common stock purchase warrants, after taking into account the decrease in the exercise price, is equal to the aggregate exercise price prior to the anti-dilution adjustment.

As a result of the Direct Offering and in accordance the anti-dilution provisions of the Certificate of Designation and our common stock purchase warrants, the conversion price of our Series A convertible preferred stock and the exercise price of our common stock purchase warrants would adjust to the lower of (i) $0.37 or (ii) the lowest volume weighted average price of our common stock during the five consecutive trading days immediately following the public announcement of the Direct Offering and the number of shares of the Common Stock issuable under our common stock purchase warrants would increase proportionally. In connection with the Waiver, the Purchasers agreed to a floor of $0.14 with respect to the adjustment set forth in clause (ii) above. In connection with the Waiver, the Purchasers also agreed to waive future anti-dilution protection with

respect to 50% of the shares of our Series A convertible preferred stock held by such Purchaser as of the date of the Waiver and the Company agreed to extend the term of our common stock purchase warrants until March 28, 2029.

On October 27, 2023, Pineapple Energy Inc. (the "Company") received a notice from the Listing Qualifications Department (the "Staff") of the Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") informing the Company that because the closing bid price for the Company's common stock listed on Nasdaq was below $1.00 per share for the last 31 consecutive business days, the Company did not comply with the minimum closing bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5550(a)(2) (the "Minimum Bid Price Rule"). In accordance with Nasdaq's Listing Rules, the Company has a period of 180 calendar days, or until April 24, 2024, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule.

 

On February 27, 2024, the Staff issued another notice (the "February Notice") notifying the Company that the Company's common stock had a closing bid price of $0.10 or less for 10 consecutive trading days (February 12, 2024 to February 26, 2024). Accordingly, the Company is subject to the provisions contemplated under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iii) (the "Low Priced Stock Rule"). As a result, the Staff had determined to delist the Company's securities from Nasdaq effective as of the opening of business on March 7, 2024, unless the Company requests an appeal before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the "Panel") of the Staff's determination by March 5, 2024, pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5800 Series.

 

The Company requested a hearing before the Panel to appeal the February Notice, and Nasdaq has scheduled the hearing for April 30, 2024. Accordingly, the delisting action has been stayed, pending a final written decision by the Panel. There can be no assurance that the hearing will occur, that a favorable decision will be obtained if the hearing is held, that the Panel will grant any request for an extension period within which to regain compliance, or that the Company will be able meet the continued listing requirements during any compliance period or in the future.
