Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On May 20, 2025, Sunnova Energy International Inc. (the “Company”) received a notice (the “Notice”) from the staff of NYSE Regulation of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) indicating that the Company is now subject to the procedures set forth in Section 802.01E of the NYSE Listed Company Manual (the “Manual”) due to a delay in filing its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 (the “Form 10-Q”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
The NYSE informed the Company that, under Section 802.01E of the Manual, the Company has until November 19, 2025 to file the Form 10-Q with the SEC. If the Company does not file the Form 10-Q by that date, the NYSE may grant, in its sole discretion, a further extension of up to six additional months for the Company to regain compliance, depending on the specific circumstances. The Notice indicates that the NYSE may nevertheless commence delisting proceedings at any time during the cure period, if circumstances warrant.
As the Company reported in its Form 12b-25 filed with the SEC on May 12, 2025, the Company is unable to file, without unreasonable effort or expense, the Form 10-Q. The Company has been, and is continuing its efforts, engaging with third parties in discussions and negotiations relating to the indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiaries. Such discussions and negotiations have diverted management time and internal resources from the Company’s processes for completing its disclosures related to the Form 10-Q. The Company expects to file such report as soon as reasonably practicable.
The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s securities on the NYSE. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the listing standards discussed above.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD.
On May 23, 2025, the Company issued a press release announcing its receipt of the Notice, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference. The information included in this Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Current Report”) under Item 7.01 and Exhibit 99.1 are being furnished and 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 liabilities of that Section, unless the registrant specifically states that the information is to be considered “filed” under the Exchange Act or incorporates it by reference into a filing under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or the Company’s future financial or operating performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “going to,” “could,” “intends,” “target,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions that concern the Company’s expectations, strategy, priorities, plans or intentions. Forward-looking statements in this Current Report include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the anticipated timing of the filing of the Form 10-Q and the Company’s ability to regain compliance with the continued listing requirements of the NYSE. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. Any such forward-looking statements may involve risk and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from any future results encompassed within the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, the risks and other important factors discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing the Company’s views as of any subsequent date, and the Company is under no obligation to, and expressly disclaims any responsibility to, update or alter its forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.
