AUSTIN, Texas, June 28, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FTC Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ:FTCI), a fast-growing global provider of solar tracker systems, software and engineering services, today announced that it has received a net payout of approximately $22 million in connection with the sale of its minority investment position in Dimension Energy, LLC ("Dimension"), with the potential to receive an additional payout of up to approximately $14 million through an earn-out structure.

FTC Solar made an investment of $4 million in Dimension, a community solar developer based in Atlanta, in 2018.

With the sale of its original stake, which closed on June 24, 2021, FTC Solar has received an additional net payout of approximately $22 million, with the potential to receive an additional payout of up to approximately $14 million through December 2024, based on Dimension achieving certain performance milestones.

"We're pleased to further strengthen our balance sheet through this payout, while also achieving a substantial return on our investment," said Patrick Cook, FTC Solar's Chief Financial Officer. "The sale of our Dimension position simplifies our financial reporting, further solidifies our debt-free balance sheet, and positions us to drive additional shareholder value. We are pleased to have been associated with the Dimension team through their transition and look forward to seeing their future endeavors."
