SUNation Energy Announces Reverse Stock Split

RONKONKOMA, N.Y., April 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SUNation Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:SUNE) ("SUNation" or "the Company"), a leading provider of sustainable solar energy and backup power solutions for households, businesses, and municipalities, today announced that its Board of Directors approved a 200 - for 1 reverse stock split of the Company's outstanding common stock effective 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on April 21, 2025.

The Company's common stock will continue to trade under the symbol "SUNE" and it is expected to open for trading on Nasdaq on April 21, 2025 on a post-split basis. The new CUSIP number for the common stock following the reverse stock split will be 72303P503.

The ratio of the reverse stock split is within the range approved by shareholders at a Special Meeting of Shareholders held on April 3, 2025. The reverse stock split is primarily intended to increase the market price per share of the Company's common stock to regain compliance with the minimum bid price required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market.

Upon the effectiveness of the reverse stock split, every 200 shares of issued and outstanding Company common stock at the close of business on April 17, 2025 will be automatically combined into one issued and outstanding share of common stock, with no change in par value per share. The total shares outstanding stands at 672,799,910 as of April 11, 2025. The split, once effective, will result in there being approximately 3,364,000 shares outstanding immediately thereafter.

The reverse stock split does not reduce the number of shares of the Company's authorized common stock. No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the reverse stock split and all such fractional interests will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares of common stock. The reverse stock split will affect all common shareholders uniformly and will not alter any shareholder's percentage interest in the Company's common stock, except to the extent that the reverse stock split results in some shareholders experiencing an adjustment of a fractional share as described above.

Shareholders holding their shares electronically in book-entry form are not required to take any action to receive the post-split shares. Shareholders holding physical share certificates will receive information from EQ Shareowner Services, the Company's transfer agent, regarding the process for exchanging their shares of common stock. Shareholders with questions may contact the Company's transfer agent by calling 800-401-1957.

Additional information about the reverse stock split can be found in the Company's definitive proxy statement (the "Proxy Statement") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 10, 2025, which is available at the SEC's website, www.sec.gov.
