Item 1.01.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Merger Agreement

On June 5, 2026, SUNation Energy, Inc., a Delaware

corporation (“SUNation”), SUNation Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of SUNation (“Merger

Sub”), and Suniva, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Suniva”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger

Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other matters, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the

Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Suniva, with Suniva continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of SUNation and the

surviving corporation of the merger (the “Merger”). The Merger is intended to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a

tax-free reorganization under the provisions of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger

Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”): (a) each then-outstanding share of Suniva capital stock

(including shares of Suniva common stock and shares of Suniva preferred stock) will be converted into the right to receive a number of

shares of SUNation common stock calculated in accordance with the Merger Agreement (the “Exchange Ratio”); (b) each then-outstanding

Suniva warrant will be cancelled at the Effective Time, with each warrantholder entitled to receive for each warrant share a number of

shares of SUNation common stock equal to the Exchange Ratio, taking into account the per share exercise price of the warrant; and (c)

each then-outstanding Suniva restricted stock unit will be fully vested and converted into shares of SUNation common stock at the Exchange

Ratio.

Under the Exchange Ratio in the Merger Agreement,

upon the closing of the Merger, on a pro forma basis and based upon the number of shares of SUNation common stock expected to be issued

in the Merger, pre-Merger Suniva stockholders are expected to own approximately 98.2% of the combined company and pre-Merger SUNation

stockholders are expected to own approximately 1.8% of the combined company. The percentage of the combined company that each party’s

stockholders will own following the closing is subject to adjustments as described in the Merger Agreement for the amount of SUNation’s

net cash at closing relative to a specified target.

For purposes of calculating the Merger Consideration,

(a) shares of SUNation common stock underlying SUNation stock options, warrants and other rights to receive shares outstanding as of immediately

prior to the closing of the Merger will be deemed to be outstanding, (b) shares of SUNation common stock issuable upon the settlement

of SUNation restricted stock units (excluding performance-based restricted stock units for which the performance condition has not been

met) will be deemed to be outstanding, and (c) all shares of Suniva common stock underlying outstanding Suniva stock options, Suniva

restricted stock units and Suniva warrants will be deemed to be outstanding.

In connection with the Merger, SUNation will

seek the approval of its stockholders of, among other things, (a) the issuance of shares of SUNation common stock in connection

with the Merger on the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, (b) if Suniva deems it advisable, an amendment and

restatement of SUNation’s amended certificate of incorporation, (c) if deemed necessary by SUNation and Suniva, an amendment

to SUNation’s amended certificate of incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of all outstanding shares of

SUNation’s common stock, (d) the conversion of certain secured insider debt to SUNation common stock, and (e) an increase

in the number of shares of SUNation common stock reserved for issuance under the existing SUNation equity incentive plan of no less

than 5% of the projected total post-Merger number of outstanding shares of SUNation common stock. To the extent necessary or deemed

appropriate, additional proposals may be added by the SUNation board of directors, which will be included in any prospectus/proxy statement

relating to the special meeting of stockholders.

Each of SUNation and Suniva has agreed to customary

representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement, including, among others, covenants relating to (a) using commercially

reasonable efforts to obtain the requisite approval of its stockholders, (b) non-solicitation of alternative acquisition

proposals, (c) the conduct of their respective businesses during the period between the date of signing the Merger Agreement and

the closing of the Merger, (d) SUNation using commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the existing listing of SUNation common

stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market and cause the shares of SUNation common stock to be issued in connection with the Merger to be approved

for listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market prior to the closing of the Merger and (e) SUNation filing with the U.S. Securities and

Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and causing to become effective a registration statement to register the shares of SUNation

common stock to be issued in connection with the Merger (the “Registration Statement”).

Consummation of the Merger is subject to certain

closing conditions, including, among other things, (a) approval by SUNation stockholders of the matters being put to their vote,

(b) approval by the requisite Suniva stockholders of the adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated

thereby, (c) Nasdaq’s approval of the listing of the shares of SUNation common stock to be issued in connection with the Merger,

(d) the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and (e) SUNation’s net cash not being less than negative $1,500,000. Each

party’s obligation to consummate the Merger is also subject to other specified customary conditions, including regarding the accuracy

of the representations and warranties of the other party, subject to the applicable materiality standard, and the performance in all material

respects by the other party of its obligations under the Merger Agreement required to be performed on or prior to the date of the closing

of the Merger.

The Merger Agreement contains customary termination

rights of each of SUNation and Suniva. Upon termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, SUNation may be required

to pay Suniva a termination fee of $1,000,000, and Suniva may be required to pay SUNation a termination fee of $1,000,000. The Merger

Agreement may be terminated if the Merger has not been consummated on or before January 30, 2027, subject to a potential sixty (60)-day

extension in certain circumstances as set forth in the Merger Agreement.

At the Effective Time, the Board of Directors

of SUNation is expected to consist of five members, all of whom will be designated by Suniva.

Voting Agreements

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger

Agreement, certain key stockholders of SUNation (solely in their respective capacities as SUNation stockholders) holding approximately

10.4% of the outstanding shares of SUNation capital stock have entered into voting agreements with SUNation and Suniva to vote all of

their shares of SUNation capital stock in favor of the adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated

thereby (the “Voting Agreements”).

The preceding summaries of the Merger Agreement

and the Voting Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement and the

form of Voting Agreement, which are filed as Exhibits 2.1 and 10.1, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and which

are incorporated herein by reference. The Merger Agreement has been attached as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K to

provide investors and securityholders with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information

about SUNation or Suniva or to modify or supplement any factual disclosures about SUNation in its public reports filed with the SEC. The

Merger Agreement includes representations, warranties and covenants of SUNation, Suniva and Merger Sub made solely for the purpose of

the Merger Agreement and solely for the benefit of the parties thereto in connection with the negotiated terms of the Merger Agreement.

Investors should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement or any descriptions thereof as characterizations

of the actual state of facts or conditions of SUNation, Suniva or any of their respective affiliates. Moreover, certain of those representations

and warranties may not be accurate or complete as of any specified date, may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different

from those generally applicable to SEC filings or may have been used for purposes of allocating risk among the parties to the Merger Agreement,

rather than establishing matters of fact.

Item 7.01.

Regulation FD Disclosure.

On June 8, 2026, SUNation and Suniva issued a

joint press release announcing the execution of the Merger Agreement. The press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report

on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference, except that the information contained on the websites referenced in the press

release is not incorporated herein by reference.

The information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit

99.1 attached hereto, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,

as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated

by reference in any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K and

the exhibits filed or furnished herewith contain forward-looking statements (including within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities

Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the Securities Act) concerning Suniva, SUNation, the proposed transactions and

other matters. These statements may discuss goals, intentions and expectations as to future plans, trends, events, results of operations

or financial condition, or otherwise, based on current expectations and beliefs of the management of SUNation and Suniva, as well as assumptions

made by, and information currently available to, management of SUNation and Suniva. Forward-looking statements generally include statements

that are predictive in nature and depend upon or refer to future events or conditions, and include words such as “may,” “will,”

“should,” “would,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “likely,” “believe,”

“estimate,” “project,” “intend,” and other similar expressions or the negative or plural of these

words, or other similar expressions that are predictions or indicate future events or prospects, although not all forward-looking statements

contain these words. Statements that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements in this report include,

but are not limited to, expectations regarding the proposed Merger; the potential benefits and results of the Merger and transactions

contemplated thereby; the sufficiency of the combined company’s capital resources; the expected timing of the closing of the proposed

transactions, including any financing and/or capital transactions as may be necessary to fund operational expansion and consummation of

material operational matters; statements regarding the potential and timing of, and expectations regarding, Suniva’s energy development,

solar cell technology, manufacturing capabilities, production or capacity, ability to continue its resurgence and maintenance of its manufacturing

facilities, as well as the consummation of Suniva’s intended facility expansion and anticipated revenue opportunities; any statements

by SUNation’s Chief Executive Officer; and statements by Suniva’s Chief Executive Officer. Forward-looking statements are

based on current beliefs and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties and are not guarantees of future performance.

Actual results could differ materially from those

contained in any forward-looking statement as a result of various factors, including, without limitation: the risk that the proposed Merger

may not be completed on the anticipated timeline or at all; the failure to obtain required stockholder approvals, SEC effectiveness of

the Form S-4 registration statement, or Nasdaq listing approval; the parties’ ability to satisfy the conditions to closing and to

close expected financing; risks relating to constructing, equipping, permitting and ramping up the Laurens facility on time and on budget;

the ability to convert offtake agreements into realized revenue; competition, tariffs, trade actions and changes in tax incentives, including

the Section 45X advanced manufacturing production credit; technology, supply-chain and execution risks; the accuracy of third-party market

data and forecasts; the operating history of Suniva; potential net losses incurred as a result of the current expansion-stage nature of

Suniva, as well as net losses carried forward from SUNation’s longstanding business operations; the ability to raise additional

capital; the ability of Suniva to execute on its business plans and for the combined companies to integrate SUNation’s solar installation

systems into Suniva’s solar cell manufacturing operations; the effects of the One Big Beautiful Act of 2025 on the residential

solar industry, which has had a material negative impact on residential solar installations since the January 2026 effectiveness thereof;

Suniva’s limited experience in operating a public company; the substantial competition Suniva faces in developing and selling its

solar cell development products; the ability to attract, hire, and retain skilled executive officers and employees; the ability of SUNation

or Suniva to protect their respective intellectual property and proprietary technologies; reliance on third parties, contract manufacturers,

and contract research organizations; uncertainties as to the timing of the consummation of the proposed transactions and the ability of

each of the parties to consummate the proposed transactions; risks related to SUNation’s continued listing on Nasdaq until the closing

of the proposed transactions; risks related to SUNation’s and Suniva’s ability to correctly estimate their respective operating

expenses and expenses associated with the proposed transactions, as well as uncertainties regarding the impact any delay in the closing

would have on the anticipated cash resources of the combined company upon closing and other events and unanticipated spending and costs

that could reduce the combined company’s cash resources; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance or condition

that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement; competitive responses to the proposed transactions; unexpected costs,

charges or expenses resulting from the proposed transactions; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against SUNation,

Suniva or any of their respective directors or officers related to the Merger or the proposed transactions contemplated thereby; potential

adverse reactions or changes to business relationships resulting from the announcement or completion of the proposed transactions; the

effect of the announcement or pendency of the transactions on SUNation’s or Suniva’s business relationships, operating results

and business generally; compliance with and qualification for initial listing on Nasdaq related to the expected trading of the combined

company’s stock on Nasdaq and the combined company’s ability to remain listed following the proposed transactions; the risk

that, as a result of adjustments to the Exchange Ratio as set forth in the Merger Agreement, SUNation’s stockholders and Suniva’s

stockholders could own more or less of the combined company than is currently anticipated; risks related to the market price of SUNation

common stock relative to the Exchange Ratio; legislative, regulatory, political and economic developments and general market conditions,

including those surrounding the viability of residential solar businesses following the loss of federal tax credits beginning in January

2026; and the other risks described in SUNation’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current

Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC, the registration statement on Form S-4 to be filed with the SEC by SUNation, as well as risk factors

associated with companies, such as Suniva, that operate in the energy and manufacturing industry.

Nothing in this Current Report on Form 8-K should

be regarded as a representation by any person that the forward-looking statements set forth herein will be achieved or that the contemplated

results of any such forward-looking statements will be achieved. Forward-looking statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K speak only

as of the day they are made and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the cautionary statements herein. Except as required by

applicable law, SUNation and Suniva undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statement, or to make any other forward-looking

statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. This Current Report on Form 8-K does not purport to summarize

all of the conditions, risks and other attributes of an investment in SUNation or Suniva.

Article

Effect of the Merger on Capital Stock; Exchange of certificates

Section 2.01 Effect of

the Merger on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, as a result of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger

Sub, or the Company or the holder of any capital stock of Parent, Merger Sub, or the Company:

(a) Cancellation

of Certain Company Stock. Each share of common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 (“Company Common Stock”)

and each share of preferred stock, par value $0.001 (“Company Preferred Stock”) that is owned by the Company (as treasury

stock or otherwise) or any of their respective direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiaries as of immediately prior to the Effective Time

(the “Cancelled Shares”) will automatically be cancelled and retired and will cease to exist, and no consideration

will be delivered in exchange therefor.

(b) Conversion

of Company Preferred Stock. Each share of Company Preferred Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other

than Cancelled Shares) will be converted into the right to receive: (i) a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the Exchange

Ratio; (ii) any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock payable pursuant to Section 2.01(f); and (iii) any dividends

or other distributions to which the holder thereof becomes entitled to upon the surrender of such shares of Company Common Stock in accordance

with Section 2.03(g), in accordance with the Allocation Statement and as provided in Section 2.09.

of Company Common Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other

than Cancelled Shares or Appraisal Shares) will be converted into the right to receive: (i) shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the

Exchange Ratio; (ii) any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock payable pursuant to Section 2.01(f); and (iii)

any dividends or other distributions to which the holder thereof becomes entitled to upon the surrender of such shares of Company Common

Stock in accordance with Section 2.03(g), in accordance with the Allocation Statement and as provided in Section 2.09.

(d) Cancellation

of Shares. At the Effective Time, all shares of Company Stock (other than Appraisal Shares) will no longer be outstanding and all

shares of Company Stock will be cancelled and retired and will cease to exist, and each holder of: (i) a certificate formerly representing

any shares of Company Common Stock (each, a “Certificate”); or (ii) any book-entry shares which immediately prior to

the Effective Time represented shares of Company Stock (each, a “Book-Entry Share”) will cease to have any rights with

respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.03 hereof.

(e) Conversion

of Merger Sub Capital Stock. Each share of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately

prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one newly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable share of common stock,

par value $0.00001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation with the same rights, powers, and privileges as the shares so converted and

shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation. From and after the Effective Time, all certificates

representing shares of Merger Sub Common Stock shall be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of shares of common stock of the

Surviving Corporation into which they were converted in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

(f) Fractional

Shares. No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued upon the conversion of Company

Stock pursuant to Section 2.01(b) or Section 2.01(c) and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof

to vote or to any other rights of a holder of shares of Parent Common Stock. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each

holder of shares of Company Stock converted pursuant to the Merger who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share

of Parent Common Stock (after taking into account all shares of Company Stock exchanged by such holder) shall in lieu thereof, upon surrender

of such holder’s Certificates and Book-Entry Shares, receive in cash (rounded to the nearest whole cent), without interest, an amount

equal to such fractional amount multiplied by the last reported sale price of Parent Common Stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”)

on the last complete trading day prior to the date of the Effective Time.

Section 2.02 Treatment

of Warrants, RSUs and Other Stock-Based Instruments.

(a) Company

Warrants. At the Effective Time, each outstanding Warrant that has not been exercised prior to the Effective Time will be cancelled

automatically as of the Effective Time, and thereafter each holder of such Warrant (each, a “Warrantholder”) will be

entitled to receive, upon delivery of such duly executed and completed agreement or instrument with respect to the cancellation of the

Warrant as the Company in its discretion may require (each, a “Warrant Cancellation Agreement”) an amount equal to

the Closing Per Warrant Consideration for each Warrant that is exercisable in accordance with the Allocation Statement and as provided

in Section 2.09. The amounts described in this Section 2.02(a) shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of

all rights pertaining to such Warrants.

(b) Company

RSUs. The Company shall take all requisite action so that, no later than the Effective Time, each Company RSU that is outstanding

as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be fully vested and shall be settled or deemed settled in shares of Company Stock,

which shall be treated in accordance with Section 2.01(c).

and Other Company Actions. At or prior to the Effective Time, the Company and Parent, the Company Board and Parent Board, and the

compensation committees of such boards, as applicable, shall adopt any resolutions and take any actions (including obtaining any employee

consents) that may be necessary to effectuate the provisions of paragraphs (a)-(b) of this Section 2.02.

Section 2.03 Exchange

Procedures.

(a) Exchange

Agent; Exchange Fund. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent and Company shall appoint an exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”)

to act as the agent for the purpose of paying the Merger Consideration to the holders of Company Stock and Warrants. At or promptly following

the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or cause the Surviving Corporation to deposit, with the Exchange Agent: (i) certificates representing

the shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued as Merger Consideration (or make appropriate alternative arrangements if uncertificated

shares of Parent Common Stock represented by book-entry shares will be issued); and (ii) cash sufficient to make payments in lieu of fractional

shares pursuant to Section 2.01(f). In addition, Parent shall deposit or cause to be deposited with the Exchange Agent, as necessary

from time to time after the Effective Time, any dividends or other distributions, if any, to which the holders of Company Stock may be

entitled pursuant to Section 2.03(g) for distributions or dividends on the Parent Common Stock, with both a record and payment

date after the Effective Time and prior to the surrender of the Company Common Stock in exchange for such Parent Common Stock. Such cash

and shares of Parent Common Stock, together with any dividends or other distributions deposited with the Exchange Agent pursuant to this

Section 2.03(a), are referred to collectively in this Agreement as the “Exchange Fund.”

(b) Procedures

for Surrender; No Interest. Promptly after the Effective Time, Parent shall send, or shall cause the Exchange Agent to send, to each

record holder of shares of Company Stock or Warrants which were converted pursuant to Section 2.01(b),

Section 2.01(c) or Section 2.02(a) into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, a letter of transmittal and

instructions (which shall specify that the delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper delivery

of the Certificates or Warrant Cancellation Agreements or transfer of the Book-Entry Shares to the Exchange Agent, and which letter of

transmittal will be in customary form and have such other provisions as Parent and the Company may reasonably agree) for use in such exchange.

Each holder of shares of Company Stock or Warrants that have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration shall be

entitled to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with the Allocation Statement into which such shares of Company Stock or Warrants

have been converted pursuant to Section 2.01(b), Section 2.01(c) or Section 2.02(a) in respect of the Company Stock

represented by a Certificate or Book-Entry Share or Warrant Cancellation Agreement, any cash in lieu of fractional shares which the holder

has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.01(f), and any dividends or other distributions pursuant to Section 2.03(g)

upon: (i) surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Certificate or Warrant Cancellation Agreement; or (ii) receipt of an “agent’s

message” by the Exchange Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request) in the

case of Book-Entry Shares; in each case, together with a duly completed and validly executed letter of transmittal and such other documents

as may reasonably be requested by the Exchange Agent. No interest shall be paid or accrued upon the surrender or transfer of any Certificate,

Book-Entry Share or Warrant Cancellation Agreement. Upon payment of the Merger Consideration pursuant to the provisions of this Article

II, each Certificate or Certificates or Book-Entry Share or Book-Entry Shares or Warrant Cancellation Agreement so surrendered

or transferred, as the case may be, shall immediately be cancelled.

of Exchange Fund. Until disbursed in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the cash in the Exchange Fund will

be invested by the Exchange Agent, as directed by Parent or the Surviving Corporation. No losses with respect to any investments of the

Exchange Fund will affect the amounts payable to the holders of Company Stock or Warrants. Any income from investment of the Exchange

Fund will be payable to Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as Parent directs.

(d) Payments

to Non-Registered Holders. If any portion of the Merger Consideration is to be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name

the surrendered Certificate or the transferred Book-Entry Share, as applicable, is registered, it shall be a condition to such payment

that: (i) such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer or such Book-Entry Share shall

be properly transferred; and (ii) the Person requesting such payment shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other Tax required

as a result of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share, as applicable, or establish

to the reasonable satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

(e) Full

Satisfaction. All Merger Consideration paid upon the surrender of Certificates, or Warrant Cancellation Agreements or transfer of

Book-Entry Shares in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining

to the shares of Company Stock or Warrants formerly represented by such Certificate or Warrant Cancellation Agreement or Book-Entry Shares,

and from and after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Stock or Warrants on the

stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates, Warrant Cancellation Agreements or Book-Entry

Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article

II.

(f) Termination

of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the holders of shares of Company Stock and Warrants six

months after the Effective Time shall be returned to Parent, upon demand, and any such holder who has not exchanged shares of Company

Stock or Warrants for the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 2.03 prior to that time shall thereafter look only

to Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat, or other similar Laws), as general creditors thereof, for payment of the Merger Consideration

without any interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent shall not be liable to any holder of Company Stock or Warrants for any amounts

paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat, or similar Laws.

(g) Distributions

with Respect to Unsurrendered Company Shares and Warrants. All shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Merger shall

be deemed issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time and whenever a dividend or other distribution is declared by Parent in respect

of the Parent Common Stock, the record date for which is after the Effective Time, that declaration shall include dividends or other distributions

in respect of all shares issuable pursuant to this Agreement. No dividends or other distributions in respect of the Parent Common Stock

shall be paid to any holder of any unsurrendered share of Company Stock or Warrant until the Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu

of the Certificate as provided in Section 2.06), Book-Entry Share or Warrant Cancellation Agreement is surrendered for exchange

in accordance with this Section 2.03. Subject to the effect of applicable Laws, following such surrender, there shall be issued

or paid to the holder of record of the whole shares of Parent Common Stock issued in exchange for Company Stock in accordance with this

Section 2.03, without interest: (i) at the time of such surrender, the dividends or other distributions with a record date after

the Effective Time theretofore payable with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock and not paid; and (ii) at the appropriate

payment date, the dividends or other distributions payable with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock with a record date

after the Effective Time but with a payment date subsequent to surrender.

Section 2.04 Adjustments.

Without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, if at any time during the period between the date of this Agreement and the

Effective Time, any change in the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company or the Parent Common Stock shall occur (other than

the issuance of additional shares of capital stock of the Company or Parent as permitted by this Agreement), including by reason of any

reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including a reverse stock split), or combination, exchange, readjustment of shares,

or similar transaction, or any stock dividend or distribution paid in stock, the applicable exchange ratio and any other amounts payable

pursuant to this Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such change as agreed upon by Parent and the Company; provided,

however, that this sentence shall not be construed to permit Parent or the Company to take any action with respect to its securities

that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

Section 2.05 Withholding

Rights. Each of the Exchange Agent, Parent, Merger Sub, and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from

the consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Article II such amounts

as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under any Tax Laws; provided, however, that

prior to making any such deduction or withholding, the party making such deduction or withholding shall, except in the case of withholding

on payments of compensation or to the extent prohibited by applicable Law, use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Person

from whom such amounts are deducted or withheld with a reasonable opportunity to provide forms or other evidence that would mitigate,

reduce, or eliminate such deduction or withholding. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld by the Exchange Agent, Parent,

Merger Sub, or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having

been paid to the Person in respect of which the Exchange Agent, Parent, Merger Sub, or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be,

made such deduction and withholding.

Section 2.06 Lost Certificates.

If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen, or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such

Certificate to be lost, stolen, or destroyed and, if required by Parent, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount

as Parent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent

will issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen, or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the shares

of Company Stock formerly represented by such Certificate as contemplated under this Article II.

Section 2.07 Tax Treatment.

For U.S. federal income Tax purposes, it is intended that the Merger qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of

Section 368(a) of the Code, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, that this Agreement will constitute a “plan of reorganization”

for purposes of Sections 354 and 361 of the Code.

Section 2.08 Dissenters’

Rights. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, each outstanding share of Company Stock held by a Stockholder

who has not voted in favor of the Merger or consented thereto in writing and who has properly demanded appraisal for such shares in accordance

with all of the relevant provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL (each such share, an “Appraisal Share”) shall not be

converted into or represent a right to receive any payments under Section 2.01(b) or Section 2.01(c). Holders of Appraisal

Shares shall be entitled only to such rights as are granted by the applicable provisions of the DGCL; provided, however, that any holder

of Appraisal Shares who, after the Effective Time, withdraws or fails to perfect the demand for appraisal or loses the right of appraisal

shall be deemed to be entitled, as of the Effective Time, to receive the applicable amounts payable with respect to such Appraisal Shares

under Section 2.01(b) or Section 2.01(c), subject to the terms of this Article II.

Section 2.09 Allocation

Statement. At least three (3) days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall prepare and deliver to Parent a statement (the “Allocation

Statement”) of (A) the name, mailing address and email address of each holder of Company Stock and Warrants and (B) the allocation

of the Merger Consideration with respect to each holder of Company Stock and Warrants.

Except as set forth in the

correspondingly numbered Section of the Parent Disclosure Letter that relates to such Section or in another Section of the Parent Disclosure

Parent and Merger Sub hereby jointly and severally represent and warrant to the Company as follows:

Section 4.01 Organization;

Standing and Power; Charter Documents; Subsidiaries.

(a) Organization;

Standing and Power. Except as set forth in Section 4.01(a) of the Parent Disclosure Letter, Parent and each of its Subsidiaries

of its jurisdiction of organization, and has the requisite corporate, limited liability company, or other organizational, as applicable,

power and authority to own, lease, and operate its assets and to carry on its business as now conducted. Parent and each of its Subsidiaries

is duly qualified or licensed to do business as a foreign corporation, limited liability company, or other legal entity and is in good

standing (to the extent that the concept of “good standing” is applicable in the case of any jurisdiction outside the United

States) in each jurisdiction where the character of the assets and properties owned, leased, or operated by it or the nature of its business

makes such qualification or license necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or licensed or to be in good standing, would

not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Parent Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Charter

Documents. The copies of the Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws of Parent as most recently filed with the Parent SEC Documents

are true, correct, and complete copies of such documents as in effect as of the date of this Agreement. Parent has delivered or made available

Effect.

to cause any such third party (or its agents or advisors) in possession of non-public information in respect of the Company or Parent,

as applicable, and any of their respective Subsidiaries that was furnished by or on behalf of such party or its respective Subsidiaries

to return or destroy (and confirm destruction of) all such information.

(b) Superior

Proposal. Notwithstanding Section 5.04(a), prior to the receipt of the Requisite Parent Vote, the Parent Board, directly or

indirectly through any Representative, may, subject to Section 5.04(c): (i) participate in negotiations or discussions with any

third party that has made (and not withdrawn) a bona fide, unsolicited Takeover Proposal in writing that the Parent Board believes in

good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, constitutes a Superior Proposal; (ii) thereafter

furnish to such third party non-public information relating to Parent or any of its respective Subsidiaries pursuant to an executed confidentiality

agreement that constitutes an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement; (iii) following receipt of and on account of a Superior Proposal,

make a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change; and/or (iv) take any action that any court of competent jurisdiction orders Parent to take

(which order remains unstayed), but in each case referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv), only if: (A) the Parent Board

determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action

would reasonably be expected to cause it to be in breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; (B) neither Parent nor any of its

Representatives nor any of its Subsidiaries shall have violated any of the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.04; (C) at

least two Business Days prior to furnishing any such nonpublic information to, or entering into discussions with, such Person, Parent

gives the Company written notice of the identity of such Person and of Parent’s intention to furnish nonpublic information to, or

enter into discussions with, such Person; and (D) at least two Business Days prior to furnishing any such nonpublic information to such

Person, Parent furnishes such nonpublic information to the Company (to the extent such nonpublic information has not been previously furnished

by Parent to the Company). Nothing contained herein shall prevent the Parent Board from disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated

by Rule 14d-9 and Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act with regard to a Takeover Proposal, if the Parent determines, after

consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that failure to disclose such position would reasonably be expected

to cause its board to be in breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

Recommendation Change or Acquisition Agreement. Except as expressly permitted by this Section 5.04, the Company Board shall

not effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change and the Parent Board shall not effect a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change or, in

each case, enter into (or permit any of its respective Subsidiaries to enter into) an Acquisition Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing,

at any time prior to the receipt of the Requisite Parent Vote, the Parent Board may effect a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change or

enter into (or permit any Subsidiary to enter into) an Acquisition Agreement that did not result from a breach of this Section 5.04,

if: (i) Parent promptly notifies the Company, in writing, at least five (5) Business Days prior to any meeting of the Parent Board at

which the Parent Board will consider and determine whether a Takeover Proposal is a Superior Proposal, Parent provides the Company with

a written notice specifying the date and time of such meeting, the reasons for holding such meeting, the terms and conditions of the

Takeover Proposal that is the basis of the potential action by the Parent Board (including a copy of any draft agreement reflecting the

offer), and the identity of the Person making the offer; (ii) the Parent Board determines in good faith, after obtaining and taking into

account the advice of its financial advisor and the advice of outside legal counsel, that such Takeover Proposal constitutes a Superior

Proposal; (iii) the Parent Board does not effect, or cause the Parent to effect, a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change at any time within

five Business Days after the Company receives written notice from Parent confirming that the Parent Board has determined that such Takeover

Proposal is a Superior Proposal; (iv) during such five Business Day period, if requested by the Company, Parent engages in good faith

negotiations with the Company to amend this Agreement in such a manner that the Takeover Proposal that was determined to constitute a

Superior Proposal no longer constitutes a Superior Proposal; (v) at the end of such five Business Day period, such Takeover Proposal

has not been withdrawn and continues to constitute a Superior Proposal (taking into account any changes to the terms of this Agreement

proposed by the Company); and (vi) the Parent Board determines in good faith, after obtaining and taking into account the advice of outside

legal counsel, that, in light of such Superior Proposal, a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change is required in order for the Parent Board

to comply with its fiduciary obligations to the Parent’s stockholders under applicable Law (it being understood that in the event

of any revisions to the terms of a Superior Proposal, the provisions of this Section 5.04(c) shall apply to such revised offer

as if it were a new offer hereunder).

(d) Nothing

contained in this Agreement shall prohibit Parent or the Parent Board from (i) complying with Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2(a) promulgated under

the Exchange Act, or (ii) issuing a “stop, look and listen” communication or similar communication of the type contemplated

by Section 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act; provided, however, that the Parent Board determines in good faith, after consultation with

its outside legal counsel, that failure to make such disclosure would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with applicable Law, including

its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided, further, that any statement pursuant to the foregoing clause (i) shall be deemed

to be a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change if the Parent does not expressly reaffirm the Parent Board Recommendation.

Section 5.05 Preparation

of Proxy Statement and Form S-4.

(a) Proxy

Statement and Form S-4. In connection with the Parent Stockholders Meeting, as soon as reasonably practicable following the date

of this Agreement, Parent with assistance from the Company, shall prepare and file with the SEC the Proxy Statement and the Form S-4

(which shall include the Proxy Statement). The Company and Parent shall each use its reasonable best efforts to: (i) cause the Form S-4

to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after its filing; (ii) ensure that the Form S-4 complies

in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and (iii) keep the Form S-4 effective

for so long as necessary to complete the Merger. Parent shall notify the Company promptly of the time when the Form S-4 has become effective

or any supplement or amendment to the Form S-4 has been filed, and of the issuance of any stop order or suspension of the qualification

of the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable in connection with the Merger for offering or sale in any jurisdiction. Each of Parent

and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to: (A) cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to the Parent’s stockholders

as promptly as practicable after the Form S-4 is declared effective under the Securities Act, and (B) ensure that the Proxy Statement

complies in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and Exchange Act. Parent shall also take any other

action (other than qualifying to do business in any jurisdiction in which it is not now so qualified) required to be taken under the

Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any applicable foreign or state securities or “blue sky” Laws, and the rules and regulations

thereunder in connection with the issuance of Parent Stock in the Merger, and the Company shall furnish to Parent all information concerning

the Company as may be reasonably requested in connection with any such actions.

(b) Furnishing

of Information. Parent and the Company shall furnish to the other party all information concerning such Person and its Affiliates

required by the Securities Act or the Exchange Act to be set forth in the Form S-4 or the Proxy Statement. Each of Parent and the Company

shall promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Form S-4 or the Proxy Statement if and to the extent that such information

shall have become false or misleading in any material respect. Parent shall take all steps necessary to amend or supplement the Form

S-4 or the Proxy Statement, as applicable, and to cause the Form S-4 or Proxy Statement, as so amended or supplemented, to be filed with

the SEC and disseminated to the holders of Parent Common Stock, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable Law.

Comments. Subject to applicable Law, Parent shall promptly provide the Company and its counsel with any comments or other communications,

whether written or oral, that Parent or its counsel may receive from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Form S-4 or the Proxy Statement

promptly after the receipt of such comments. Prior to the filing of the Form S-4 or the Proxy Statement with the SEC (including in each

case any amendment or supplement thereto, except with respect to any amendments filed in connection with a Parent Adverse Recommendation

Change or in connection with any disclosures made in compliance with Section 5.04) or the dissemination thereof to the holders

of Parent Common Stock, or responding to any comments of the SEC with respect to the Form S-4 or Proxy Statement, subject to applicable

Law, Parent shall provide the Company and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such Form S-4, Proxy Statement,

or response (including the proposed final version thereof), and Parent shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any comments

made by the Company or its counsel.

Section 5.06 Company

Stockholder Approval. As promptly as reasonably practicable after the execution of this Agreement, the Company will solicit and use

its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Company Stockholder Approval.

Section 5.07 Parent

Stockholders Meeting; Approval by Sole Stockholder of Merger Sub.

(a) Parent

Stockholders Meeting. Parent shall take all commercially reasonable action necessary to duly call, give notice of, convene, and hold

the Parent Stockholders Meeting as soon as reasonably practicable after the Form S-4 is declared effective, and, in connection therewith,

Parent shall mail the Proxy Statement to the holders of Parent Common Stock in advance of the Parent Stockholders Meeting. Except to

the extent that the Parent Board shall have effected a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change as permitted by Section 5.04 hereof,

the Proxy Statement shall include the Parent Board Recommendation. Subject Section 5.04 hereof, Parent shall use commercially

reasonable best efforts to: (i) solicit from the holders of Parent Common Stock proxies in favor of the approval of the Parent Stockholder

Matters; and (ii) take all other actions necessary or advisable to secure the vote or consent of the holders of Parent Common Stock required

by applicable Law to obtain such approval. Parent shall keep the Company updated with respect to proxy solicitation results as reasonably

requested by the Company. Once the Parent Stockholders Meeting has been called and noticed, Parent shall not postpone or adjourn the

Parent Stockholders Meeting without the consent of the Company (other than: (A) in order to obtain a quorum of its stockholders; or (B)

as reasonably determined by Parent to comply with applicable Law). Parent shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cooperate

with the Company to hold the Parent Stockholders Meeting as soon as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement, and to set

the same record date for each such meeting.

(b) Approval

by Sole Stockholder. Immediately following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Parent, as sole stockholder of Merger Sub,

shall adopt this Agreement and approve the Merger, in accordance with the DGCL.

Section 5.08 Notices

of Certain Events. Subject to applicable Law, the Company shall notify Parent and Merger Sub, and Parent and Merger Sub shall notify

the Company, promptly of: (a) any notice or other communication from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be

required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (b) any notice or other communication from any Governmental

Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (c) any event, change, or effect between the date of this

Agreement and the Effective Time which individually or in the aggregate causes or is reasonably likely to cause or constitute: (i) a

material breach of any of its representations, warranties, or covenants contained herein, or (ii) the failure of any of the conditions

set forth in Article VI of this Agreement to be satisfied; and (d) any acquisition, whether by merger, consolidation, of stock or assets,

or otherwise, of any business or Person or division thereof or make any loans, advances, or capital contributions to or investments in

any Person if such acquisition, loan, advance, capital contribution or investment is material under the rules and regulations of the

Securities Act or the Exchange Act; provided that, the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 5.08 shall not cure any

breach of, or noncompliance with, any other provision of this Agreement or limit the remedies available to the party receiving such notice.

Section 5.09 Employees;

Benefit Plans.

(a) Comparable

Salary and Benefits. During the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the date which is six (6) months from the Effective

Time (or if earlier, the date of the employee’s termination of employment with Parent and its Subsidiaries), and to the extent

consistent with the terms of the governing plan documents, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and each of its Subsidiaries,

as applicable, to provide the employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries who remain employed immediately after the Effective Time

(collectively, the “Company Continuing Employees”) with annual base salary or wage level, annual Company bonus opportunities

(excluding equity-based compensation), and employee benefits (excluding any retiree health or defined benefit retirement benefits) that

are, in the aggregate, substantially comparable to the annual base salary or wage level, annual Company bonus opportunities (excluding

equity-based compensation), and employee benefits (excluding any retiree health or defined benefit retirement benefits) provided by the

Company and its Subsidiaries on the date of this Agreement.

(b) Crediting

Service. With respect to any “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA maintained by Parent or any

of its Subsidiaries, excluding any retiree health plans or programs maintained by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, any defined benefit

retirement plans or programs maintained by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, and any equity compensation arrangements maintained by

Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively, “Parent Benefit Plans”) in which any Company Continuing Employees

will participate effective as of the Effective Time, and subject to the terms of the governing plan documents, Parent shall, or shall

cause the Surviving Corporation to, credit all service of the Company Continuing Employees with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries,

as the case may be as if such service were with Parent, for purposes of eligibility to participate (but not for purposes of vesting or

benefit accrual, except for vacation, if applicable) for full or partial years of service in any Parent Benefit Plan in which such Company

Continuing Employees may be eligible to participate after the Effective Time; provided, that such service shall not be credited

to the extent that: (i) such crediting would result in a duplication of benefits; or (ii) such service was not credited under the corresponding

Company Employee Plan.

of Benefit Plans. Effective no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, the Company shall terminate the Company

Employee Plans listed on Section 5.09(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter. No later than the day immediately preceding the Closing

Date, the Company shall provide Parent with evidence that such Company Employee Plans have been terminated.

(d) Parent

Continuing Employees. During the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the date which is six (6) months from the

Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to use its best efforts to provide, or cause its Subsidiaries to provide,

to each individual who was an officer or employee of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time and who

continues in employment with the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries following the Effective Time (each, a “Parent

Continuing Employee”), (A) an annual base salary or hourly wage rate, as applicable, that is no less than the annual base salary

or hourly wage rate in effect for such Parent Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (B) employee benefits

(excluding retiree health benefits, defined benefit pension benefits, and equity-based compensation) that are, in the aggregate, substantially

comparable to the employee benefits provided to such Parent Continuing Employee under Parent’s benefit plans as in effect on the

date of this Agreement.

(e) Employees

Not Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Section 5.09 shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each of the parties

to this Agreement, and nothing in this Section 5.09, express or implied, shall confer upon any Company Employee, any beneficiary,

or any other Person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Section 5.09. Nothing contained

herein, express or implied: (i) shall be construed to establish, amend, or modify any benefit plan, program, agreement, or arrangement;

(ii) shall alter or limit the ability of the Surviving Corporation, Parent, Company or any of their respective Affiliates to amend, modify,

or terminate any benefit plan, program, agreement, or arrangement at any time assumed, established, sponsored, or maintained by any of

them; or (iii) shall prevent the Surviving Corporation, Parent, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates from terminating the

employment of any Company Continuing Employee or Parent Continuing Employee following the Effective Time. The parties hereto acknowledge

and agree that the terms set forth in this Section 5.09 shall not create any right in any Company Employee, any Parent Employee

or any other Person to any continued employment with the Surviving Corporation, Parent, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries

or compensation or benefits of any nature or kind whatsoever, or otherwise alters any existing at-will employment relationship between

any Company Employee and the Surviving Corporation.

Section 5.10 Directors’

and Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) Indemnification.

All rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses, and exculpation by Parent now existing in favor of each Person who is now, or

has been at any time prior to the date hereof or who becomes prior to the Effective Time an officer or director of Parent or any of its

Subsidiaries (each an “Indemnified Party”) as provided in the Charter Documents of Parent, in each case as in effect

on the date of this Agreement, or pursuant to any other Contracts in effect on the date hereof or disclosed in Section 5.10 of

Parent Disclosure Letter, shall survive the Merger and shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms, subject

to the following sentence. For a period of six years from the Effective Time, Parent shall maintain in effect exculpation, indemnification,

and advancement of expenses provisions substantially equivalent, or more favorable to Indemnified Parties, as provided by the Charter

Documents of Parent as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time with respect to acts or omissions by any Indemnified Party occurring

prior to the Effective Time, and shall not amend, repeal, or otherwise modify any such provisions in any manner that would adversely

affect the rights thereunder of any Indemnified Party; provided that all rights to indemnification in respect of any claim made for indemnification

within such period shall continue until the disposition of such action or resolution of such claim.

(b) Insurance.

Parent shall, at the expense of the Surviving Corporation, obtain as of the Effective Time directors and officers “tail”

insurance policies with a claims period of six years from the Effective Time with at least the same coverage and amounts and containing

terms and conditions that are not less advantageous to the Indemnified Parties, with respect to claims arising out of or relating to

events which occurred before or at the Effective Time (including in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement);

provided, however, that in no event will the Surviving Corporation be required to expend an aggregate premium for such coverage over

the term of the policy in excess of $650,000 (the “Maximum Premium”). If such insurance coverage cannot be obtained

at an annual premium equal to or less than the Maximum Premium, Parent will obtain the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding

an annual premium equal to the Maximum Premium.

The obligations of Parent, Merger Sub, and the Surviving Corporation under this Section 5.10 shall survive the consummation of

the Merger and shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any Indemnified Party to whom this Section

5.10 applies without the consent of such affected Indemnified Party (it being expressly agreed that the Indemnified Parties to whom

this Section 5.10 applies shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 5.10, each of whom may enforce the provisions

of this Section 5.10).

(d) Assumptions

by Successors and Assigns; No Release or Waiver. From and after the Effective Time, in the event Parent, the Surviving Corporation,

or any of their respective successors or assigns: (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing

or surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger; or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and

assets to any Person, then, and in either such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the

Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 5.10. The agreements

and covenants contained herein shall not be deemed to be exclusive of any other rights to which any Indemnified Party is entitled, whether

pursuant to Law, Contract, or otherwise. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to, or shall release, waive, or

impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect

to Parent or its officers, directors, and employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section

5.10 is not prior to, or in substitution for, any such claims under any such policies.

(e) The provisions

of this Section 5.10 are intended to be in addition to the rights otherwise available to the current and former directors and

officers of Parent by Law, charter, statute, bylaw or agreement, and shall operate for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each

of the Indemnified Parties, their heirs and their Representatives.

Section 5.11 Reasonable

Best Efforts.

(a) Governmental

and Other Third-Party Approval; Cooperation and Notification. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement

(including those contained in this Section 5.11), each of the parties hereto shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use its

reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with

the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper, or advisable to consummate and make effective, and to satisfy all conditions

to, as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event no later than the End Date), the Merger and the other transactions contemplated

by this Agreement, including: (i) the obtaining of all necessary Permits, waivers, and actions or nonactions from Governmental Entities

and the making of all necessary registrations, filings, and notifications (including filings with Governmental Entities) and the taking

of all steps as may be necessary to obtain an approval or waiver from, or to avoid an action or proceeding by, any Governmental Entities;

(ii) the obtaining of all necessary consents or waivers from third parties listed in Section 5.11(a) of the Parent Disclosure

Letter and Company Disclosure Letter, respectively; and (iii) the execution and delivery of any additional instruments necessary to consummate

the Merger and to fully carry out the purposes of this Agreement. The Company and Parent shall, subject to applicable Law, promptly:

(A) cooperate and coordinate with the other in the taking of the actions contemplated by clauses (i), (ii), and (iii) immediately above;

and (B) supply the other with any information that may be reasonably required in order to effectuate the taking of such actions. Each

party hereto shall promptly inform the other party or parties hereto, as the case may be, of any communication from any Governmental

Entity regarding any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. If the Company, on the one hand, or Parent or Merger Sub, on

the other hand, receives a request for additional information or documentary material from any Governmental Entity with respect to the

transactions contemplated by this Agreement, then it shall use reasonable best efforts to make, or cause to be made, as soon as reasonably

practicable and after consultation with the other party, an appropriate response in compliance with such request, and, if permitted by

applicable Law and by any applicable Governmental Entity, provide the other party’s counsel with advance notice and the opportunity

to attend and participate in any meeting with any Governmental Entity in respect of any filing made thereto in connection with the transactions

contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) Actions

or Proceedings. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, none of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any of their

respective Affiliates shall be required to defend, contest, or resist any action or proceeding, whether judicial or administrative, or

to take any action to have vacated, lifted, reversed, or overturned any Order, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this

Agreement.

Divestitures; Other Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, none of Parent, Merger Sub,

the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries shall be required to become subject to, consent to, or offer or agree to, or otherwise

take any action with respect to, any requirement, condition, limitation, understanding, agreement, or Order to: (i) sell, license, assign,

transfer, divest, hold separate, or otherwise dispose of any assets, business, or portion of business of the Company, the Surviving Corporation,

Parent, Merger Sub, or any of their respective Subsidiaries; (ii) conduct, restrict, operate, invest, or otherwise change the assets,

business, or portion of business of the Company, the Surviving Corporation, Parent, Merger Sub, or any of their respective Subsidiaries

in any manner; or (iii) impose any restriction, requirement, or limitation on the operation of the business or portion of the business

of the Company, the Surviving Corporation, Parent, Merger Sub, or any of their respective Subsidiaries. None of Parent, Merger Sub and

their respective Subsidiaries shall consent, offer or agree to, or otherwise take any action with respect to any of the foregoing actions

without the prior written consent of the Company. Neither the Company nor its Subsidiaries shall consent, offer or agree to, or otherwise

take any action with respect to any of the foregoing actions without the prior written consent of the Parent.

Section 5.12 Public

Announcements. The initial press release with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be a release

mutually agreed to by the Company and Parent. Thereafter, and until the Closing Date, each of the Company and Parent agrees that no public

release, statement, announcement, filing or other disclosure concerning the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby shall

be issued by any party without the prior written consent of the other party, except as may be required by: (a) applicable Law, (b) court

process, (c) the rules or regulations of any applicable United States securities exchange, or (d) any Governmental Entity to which the

relevant party is subject or submits; provided, in each such case, that the party making the release, statement, announcement, or other

disclosure shall use its reasonable best efforts to allow the other party reasonable time to comment on such release, statement, announcement,

or other disclosure in advance of such issuance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.12

shall not apply to any release, statement, announcement, or other disclosure made with respect to: (i) in the case of the Parent, a Parent

Adverse Recommendation Change issued or made in compliance with Section 5.04; or (ii) any other disclosures issued or made in

compliance with Section 5.04. Subject to applicable Law, Parent shall afford the Company a reasonable opportunity to review

and comment upon any filings it proposes to make with the SEC prior to filing them.

Section 5.13 Anti-Takeover

Statutes. If any “control share acquisition,” “fair price,” “moratorium,” or other anti-takeover

Law becomes or is deemed to be applicable to Parent, the Merger Sub, the Company, the Merger, or any other transaction contemplated by

this Agreement, then each of the Company and the Company Board on the one hand, and Parent and the Parent Board on the other hand, shall

grant such approvals and take such actions as are necessary so that the transactions contemplated hereby may be consummated as promptly

as practicable on the terms contemplated hereby and otherwise act to render such anti-takeover Law inapplicable to the foregoing.

Section 5.14 Section

16 Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company, Parent, and Merger Sub shall each take all such steps as may be required to

cause to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act:

(a) any dispositions

of shares of Company Common Stock (including derivative securities with respect to such shares) that are treated as dispositions under

such rule and result from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by each director or officer of the Company who is subject to

the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time;

and

(b) any acquisitions

of Parent Common Stock (including derivative securities with respect to such shares) that are treated as acquisitions under such rule

and result from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by each individual who may become or is reasonably expected to become

subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to Parent immediately after the Effective Time.

Section 5.15 Stock

Exchange Matters.

(a) Parent

shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause the shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued in connection with the Merger

(including shares of Parent Common Stock to be reserved for issuance upon exercise or conversion of a Parent RSU, to be issued pursuant

to Section 2.02) to be listed on Nasdaq (or such other stock exchange as may be mutually agreed upon by the Company and Parent), subject

to official notice of issuance, prior to the Effective Time. To the extent required by the rules and regulations of Nasdaq, Parent and

the Company will prepare and submit to Nasdaq an initial listing application for the shares of Parent Common Stock. All fees associated

with the Nasdaq listing application, including fees related to the engagement of a consultant shall be paid by the Surviving Corporation;

provided if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 7.03(a), Section 7.04(a), Section 7.04(b) or Section 7.04(d),

any fees or expenses incurred in connection with the Nasdaq listing application by any party hereto shall be borne by Parent, or if this

Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 7.03(b), Section 7.03(c) or Section 7.04(c), any fees or expenses incurred

in connection with the Nasdaq listing application by any Party shall be borne by the Company.

(b) Parent

shall promptly reserve any Nasdaq stock trading symbol or symbols specified by the Company (subject to availability), or will reasonably

cooperate with the Company in reserving such symbol(s), and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to change Parent’s current

stock trading symbol to any such new available trading symbol specified by the Company in connection with Closing.

Section 5.16 Certain

Tax Matters.

(a) Opinions.

To the extent required by the Securities Act and the rules and instructions pertaining to the Form S-4, each of the Company and Parent

shall, and shall cause each of its respective Subsidiaries to, use reasonable best efforts to obtain and cooperate with each other to

obtain the tax opinion or opinions referenced in Item 601(b)(8) of the SEC’s Regulation S-K, and any other legal opinions required

to be filed in connection with the Form S-4 or the Proxy Statement, including by delivering to Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton and/or

Rimon, P.C. (or such other reputable law firm or firms of national standing that may be engaged to provide either tax opinion) prior

to the filing of the Form S-4, customary tax representation letters. The tax opinion(s) shall be substantially to the effect that, on

the basis of certain facts, representations, and assumptions set forth or referred to in such opinion(s), (i) the Merger will qualify

as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and/or (ii) that the discussion in the Form S-4 and/or

Proxy Statement under the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger” (which discussion

shall conclude that the Merger should qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code), insofar

as such discussion constitutes legal conclusions with respect to matters of U.S. federal income tax law, is counsel’s opinion as

to the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Merger, and such other opinions as may reasonably be requested by the SEC.

(b) Reorganization

Efforts. Each of the Company and Parent shall (and the Company and Parent shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to) use its reasonable

best efforts to cause the Merger to qualify, and not take or fail to take any action which action (or failure to act) would reasonably

be expected to prevent or impede the Merger from qualifying, as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of

the Code.

Extraordinary Distributions or Redemptions. From the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time, except as expressly contemplated

by this Agreement, neither Parent nor the Company shall, and each shall cause its respective Subsidiaries not to, (i) declare, set aside,

make, or pay any extraordinary distribution to any of its stockholders or to any Person in respect of any Parent Securities or Company

Securities, (ii) redeem, repurchase, surrender, or otherwise acquire (or agree to redeem, repurchase, surrender, or otherwise acquire)

any Parent Securities or Company Securities, or (iii) take any action that would cause Merger Sub to hold, immediately prior to the Effective

Time, any assets other than as contemplated by this Agreement or to incur any liabilities other than as contemplated by this Agreement.

(d) Consistent

Reporting. Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, and the Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause each of its Subsidiaries

to) prepare and file all Tax Returns consistent with the treatment of the Merger as a “reorganization” within the meaning

of Section 368(a) of the Code, and none of them shall take any position on any Tax Return, in any audit or other Tax proceeding, or otherwise,

of such officers, it shall remove such officers. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint or cause the appointment as officers

with Affiliates or other related parties following the date hereof, without the prior written consent of the Company (which shall not

which conversion terms shall be put to a vote of the Parent shareholders (the “Parent Indebtedness Vote”) (among other

proposals related to the Merger), should the necessary majority of the Parent shareholders shares of Common Stock for any reason not

Merger in an amount equal to the aggregate balance of the remaining secured debt.

Section 5.22 Representation

and Warranty Insurance Policy. Prior to the Closing, the Company may obtain and bind a buyer-side insurance policy, effective as

of Closing, for the benefit of the Company with respect to the representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement

(the “R&W Insurance Policy”). The Company shall be responsible for all premium and costs for the R&W Insurance

Policy incurred prior to the Closing.

Section 5.23 Parent

Net Cash.

(a) For the

purposes of this Agreement, the “Anticipated Closing Date” shall be the date, as agreed upon by Parent and the Company

at least fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the Parent Stockholders Meeting, to be the anticipated date for Closing. At least five (5)

Business Days prior to the Parent Stockholders Meeting, Parent shall deliver to the Company a schedule (the “Net Cash Schedule”)

setting forth Parent’s estimated calculation of Parent Net Cash, including each component thereof (the “Net Cash Calculation”)

as of the Anticipated Closing Date, prepared and certified by Parent’s Chief Financial Officer (or if there is no Chief Financial

Officer, the principal accounting officer of Parent). Parent shall make available to the Company the work papers and back-up materials

used or useful in preparing the Net Cash Schedule (including, with respect to Expenses (whether included or excluded as part of the Net

Cash Calculation), estimated final invoices and current accounts receivable from each advisor to Parent) and, as reasonably requested

by the Company, Parent’s accountants and counsel at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice.

(b) Within

three (3) Business Days after delivery of the Net Cash Schedule (the “Response Date”), the Company will have the right

to dispute any part of the Net Cash Schedule by delivering a written notice to that effect to Parent (a “Dispute Notice”).

Any Dispute Notice shall identify in reasonable detail the nature of any proposed revisions to the Net Cash Calculation.

or prior to the Response Date, the Company (i) notifies Parent in writing that it has no objections to the Net Cash Calculation or (ii)

fails to deliver a Dispute Notice as provided in Section 5.23(b) then the Net Cash Calculation as set forth in the Net Cash Schedule

shall be deemed to have been finally determined for purposes of this Agreement and to represent Parent Net Cash as of the Anticipated

Closing Date for purposes of this Agreement.

(d) If the

Company delivers a Dispute Notice on or prior to the Response Date, then Representatives of both Parties shall promptly meet and attempt

in good faith to resolve the disputed item(s) and negotiate an agreed-upon determination of Parent Net Cash, which agreed upon Parent

Net Cash amount shall be deemed to have been finally determined for purposes of this Agreement and to represent Parent Net Cash as of

the Anticipated Closing Date for purposes of this Agreement.

(e) If Parent

and the Company are unable to negotiate an agreed-upon determination of Parent Net Cash as of the Anticipated Closing Date pursuant to

Section 5.23(d) within three (3) calendar days after delivery of the Dispute Notice (or such other period as Parent and the Company

may mutually agree upon), then Parent and the Company shall jointly select an independent auditor of recognized national standing (the

“Accounting Firm”) to resolve any remaining disagreements as to the Net Cash Calculation. Parent shall promptly deliver

to the Accounting Firm the work papers and back-up materials used or useful in preparing the Net Cash Schedule, and Parent and the Company

shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Accounting Firm to make its determination within ten (10) calendar days of accepting

its selection. The Company and Parent shall be afforded the opportunity to present to the Accounting Firm any material related to the

unresolved disputes and to discuss the issues with the Accounting Firm; provided, however, that no such presentation or discussion

shall occur without the presence of a Representative of each of the Company and Parent. The determination of the Accounting Firm shall

be limited to the disagreements submitted to the Accounting Firm. The determination of the amount of Parent Net Cash made by the Accounting

Firm shall be final and binding upon the Parties and shall be deemed to have been finally determined for purposes of this Agreement and

to represent Parent Net Cash as of the Anticipated Closing Date for purposes of this Agreement, and the Parties shall delay the Closing

until the resolution of the matters described in this Section 5.23(e). The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be allocated

between Parent and the Company in the same proportion that the disputed amount of Parent Net Cash that was unsuccessfully disputed by

such Party (as finally determined by the Accounting Firm) bears to the total disputed amount of Parent Net Cash. If this Section 5.23(e)

applies as to the determination of Parent Net Cash as of the Anticipated Closing Date described in Section 5.23(a), upon resolution

of the matter in accordance with this Section 5.23(e), the Parties shall not be required to determine Parent Net Cash again even

though the Closing Date may occur later than the Anticipated Closing Date, except that either Party may request a re-determination of

Parent Net Cash if the Closing Date is more than five (5) Business Days after the Anticipated Closing Date.

Section 5.24 Post-Closing Workforce Actions;

WARN Act Compliance.

(a) Acknowledgment.

Parent and the Company acknowledge that, following the Closing Date, the Surviving Corporation may, in its sole discretion and based

on then-prevailing business conditions, economic circumstances or applicable regulations make operational changes, including potential

reductions in force, consolidations, or other workforce adjustments (collectively, “Post-Closing Workforce Actions”).

(b) Compliance

Obligations. The Surviving Corporation shall be solely responsible for compliance with all applicable Laws, including, without limitation,

the WARN Act and any similar state or local statutes, with respect to any Post-Closing Workforce Actions occurring after the Closing

Date.

Parent shall, to the extent reasonably practicable, provide the Company with information in its possession necessary to enable the Surviving

Corporation to determine the applicability of the WARN Act or similar Laws to any Post-Closing Workforce Actions, including information

about pre-Closing employment levels, terminations and locations.

Section 5.25 Parent

Legal Action. Following the execution date of this Agreement, Parent shall provide reasonable updates, if and when available, to

the Company with respect to any Legal Action against Parent or its Subsidiaries, including those set forth on Schedule 4.10 of the Parent

Disclosure Schedule and shall reasonably cooperate with the Company and its legal counsel in assessing such Legal Actions, subject to

attorney client privileged matters.

Exhibit 99.1

SUNATION

ENERGY AND SUNIVA ENTER DEFINITIVE

MERGER AGREEMENT, CREATING A PLATFORM FOR AMERICAN SOLAR MANUFACTURING AND SERVICES LEADERSHIP

Combined company to accelerate Suniva’s

U.S. solar cell manufacturing expansion and market leadership, backed by SUNation's established market presence, deep end-market relationships,

and Nasdaq-listed platform

Suniva to merge with SUNation, combined company

expected to operate under the Suniva name and continue SUNation’s Nasdaq listing

Transaction expected to enhance domestic solar

capacity, support margin expansion and broaden access to U.S. capital markets to fund future growth and strategic opportunities

RONKONKOMA, N.Y. & NORCROSS, GA, June

8, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SUNation Energy, Inc. (Nasdaq: SUNE) (“SUNation”), a leading provider of residential

and commercial solar energy systems, battery storage solutions, and comprehensive energy services, and Suniva, (“Suniva”)

the largest and oldest U.S. merchant manufacturer of high-efficiency monocrystalline silicon solar cells, have signed a definitive reverse

merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which Suniva will merge with a wholly-owned subsidiary of SUNation,

and the combined company is expected to operate under the Suniva name and continue SUNation’s listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, upon closing, pre-merger SUNation stockholders are expected to own equity with an implied value of

approximately $2.26 per share. The transaction represents a premium of approximately 100% over SUNE’s most recent closing price.

By combining with SUNation's established downstream

business in high-electricity-cost markets, Suniva, the country’s only U.S.-owned and operated merchant solar cell manufacturer,

stands to gain additional market presence and access to U.S. capital markets to fund continued growth in American solar manufacturing.

With a successful 1 GW nameplate cell facility operating in Georgia, Suniva is expanding capacity by 4.5 GW in Laurens County, South

Carolina, supported by expected financing that is targeted to close later this month.

“We’ve spent the last two years transforming

SUNation into a stronger, more disciplined and more resilient platform, and this proposed merger with Suniva is the next logical step

in that journey,” said Scott Maskin, Chief Executive Officer of SUNation. “By bringing together Suniva’s U.S.-based

solar cell manufacturing footprint with our high-growth residential, commercial and service businesses in some of the highest electricity-cost

markets in the country, we believe we can deliver a unique domestic content offering for customers. SUNation’s residential and

commercial capabilities, along with deep relationships with other leading installers across the country, should support Suniva and its

module partners in accelerating American solar’s transition to a domestic supply chain.

Tony Etnyre, Chief Executive Officer of Suniva,

commented: "Suniva was built on the belief that America's energy future must be built here at home. As the first company to bring

U.S. solar cell manufacturing back online, we believe we've proven the manufacturing model works - in metro Atlanta, and soon in Laurens,

South Carolina. Along the way, we have learned from some of the best firms in the industry to develop American operating expertise in

the highest-barrier layer of the domestic supply chain, the solar cell, and accelerate a productivity migration of solar manufacturing

to the U.S. What we believe this combination gives us is the platform to execute our mission at the speed and scale the moment demands.

Access to U.S. public capital markets means we can move faster, invest deeper, and expand further into the domestic manufacturing capacity

this country urgently needs. SUNation brings an established, customer-facing business that strengthens our foundation as we build toward

that future together."

TRANSACTION OVERVIEW

The transaction, approved by both companies’

boards and targeted to close in the second half of 2026, is contingent on stockholder approvals of the issuance of SUNation shares to

Suniva stockholders and other items, SEC effectiveness of a Form S-4 registration statement, Nasdaq listing clearance and other customary

closing conditions.

● The

transaction combines Suniva’s U.S.-based solar cell manufacturing capabilities with

SUNation’s established downstream installation, service and energy solutions businesses.

● By

pairing Suniva's domestic advanced manufacturing platform and domestic moduling relationships

with SUNation's local-market presence, the combined company aims to strengthen domestic supply-chain

resilience and expand access to domestically produced solar solutions.

● Management

believes this structure will enhance domestic supply-chain control, support margin expansions

over time, and broaden access to U.S. capital markets for growth.

● Under

the Merger Agreement, SUNation Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of SUNation, will

merge with and into Suniva, with Suniva surviving and continuing as a wholly-owned subsidiary

of SUNation. SUNation is expected to change its name to Suniva, and the combined company

is expected to operate under the Suniva name following closing.

● Based

on the merger consideration formula in the Merger Agreement, pre-merger Suniva stockholders

are expected to own approximately 98.2% of the combined company and pre-merger SUNation stockholders

approximately 1.8% upon closing, subject to possible adjustment for SUNation’s net

cash at closing.

COMBINED

COMPANY POSITIONING

● The

combined company is expected to operate as a Nasdaq-listed solar platform anchored by Suniva's

American-owned and operated manufacturing capabilities alongside SUNation's proven installation

and service businesses in high-demand regional markets.

● SUNation’s

leadership brings deep relationships across the U.S. residential and commercial solar landscape,

and is anticipated to help Suniva and its moduling partners serve these markets with domestic-content

cells.

● The

U.S. has roughly 59 gigawatts of solar module-assembly capacity but only about 3 gigawatts

of operational cell capacity, leaving module makers heavily reliant on imported cells. Suniva

intends to become the leading domestic solar cell supplier serving a more than 500 gigawatt

market over the next decade.

● This

combined company structure is designed to align with U.S. industrial and clean energy policy

priorities, leverage domestic manufacturing incentives and support continued expansion of

American-made solar capacity with the nation's growing energy needs.

SUNIVA’S LEADERSHIP POSITION IN THE MERGED COMPANY

Suniva brings the one capability the U.S. market

has the least of and the parties believe need the most: operating, scaled, American-owned solar cell manufacturing at the highest-barrier

point in the solar supply chain. In combination with SUNation’s downstream platform, the companies plan to create a differentiated,

fully domestic solar company with both manufacturing and customer-facing depth. Key elements that support Suniva’s role at the

helm of the new company include:

● Scaled

U.S. cell manufacturing base - About 1 GW of operating nameplate capacity in Georgia,

with an advanced plan to add 4.5 GW in South Carolina for more than 5.5 GW total.

● Market

Leadership – Suniva has proven success in building and growing domestic solar cell

manufacturing, the missing link in a U.S. market with operating solar cell manufacturing

capacity that is less than 10% of deployed module capacity.

● Domestic-content

advantage - Suniva’s US-made cells help customers meet domestic-content and foreign-entity-of-concern

requirements.

● Long-term

demand visibility - Substantial long-term offtake commitments that support volume planning

and capital deployment.

● Downstream

fit with SUNation - SUNation’s residential, commercial, storage and service business

in high-cost markets provides a ready channel to deliver Suniva’s American-made cells

to end customers.

OTHER

IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES

● SUNation

has filed a Current Report on Form 8-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission describing

and filing the Merger Agreement and related matters, which investors are encouraged to review

for additional information about the proposed transaction.

● Closing,

targeted for the second half of 2026, is subject to customary closing conditions, including

approvals by SUNation stockholders of the issuance of SUNation stock to Suniva stockholders

and other matters and Suniva stockholders of the proposed transaction, effectiveness of an

SEC registration statement on Form S-4, and Nasdaq approval of the listing of the shares

to be issued in the Merger.

● Following

closing, the combined company’s board of directors is currently expected to consist

of five members, all of whom will be designated by Suniva.

● In

connection with signing the Merger Agreement, certain key stockholders of SUNation holding

approximately 10.4% of the company entered into voting agreements in support of the transaction.

● Roth

Capital Partners is serving as financial advisor to Suniva in connection with the transaction,

and Kilpatrick Townsend is serving as legal counsel to Suniva. Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher

is serving as legal counsel to Roth Capital Partners. Maxim Group is serving as financial

advisor to SUNation, and Rimon P.C. is serving as legal counsel to SUNation.
