On November 14, 2024 Pineapple Energy Inc. (the “Company”) filed articles of conversion with the Secretary of State of the State of Minnesota and filed a certificate of conversion with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware changing its jurisdiction of incorporation from Minnesota to Delaware (the “Reincorporation”), as well as having filed a Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on this same date. In addition to the Reincorporation, the Company is also effectuating a change to its name from Pineapple Energy Inc. to SUNation Energy, Inc. (the “Name Change”), as reflected on the certificate of incorporation and bylaws, the forms of which are annexed hereto as Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2, respectively, which Name Change shall be effective November 19, 2024. Additionally, in conjunction with the Company’s Name Change, the Company has also determined to change the stock ticker symbol of its common stock, which trades on the Nasdaq Capital Market, from PEGY to SUNE, effective November 19, 2024.
The Reincorporation and Name Change was approved by security holders from whom proxies were solicited pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). As a result of the Reincorporation, pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), the Company has continued its existence under the DGCL as a corporation incorporated in the State of Delaware. The business, assets and liabilities of the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, as well as its fiscal year, were the same immediately after the Reincorporation as they were immediately prior to the Reincorporation. In addition, the directors and executive officers of the Company immediately after the Reincorporation were the same individuals who were directors and executive officers, respectively, of the Company immediately prior to the Reincorporation. The other effects of the Reincorporation, including material differences between the corporation laws of Minnesota and Delaware, were previously reported in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 10, 2024.
