Polar Power (POLA) completed Phase 1 of its restructuring initiative, representing approximately $1.03 million in annualized cost reductions. The actions include approximately $727,000 in annualized personnel-related savings and approximately $300,000 in annualized facility savings.
Its current sales backlog is approximately $4.5 million, subject to final order-level reconciliation. The backlog represents firm customer orders not yet delivered. Recent commercial activity includes a 50-unit trial order from a Southeast Asian telecommunications operator and continued expansion into defense, drone and robotics applications.

Additional opportunities remain dependent on successful conversion into commercial programs.
Polar Power (POLA) has appointed Chris Mayer as Co-CEO, dividing leadership responsibilities with Arthur Sams under a new management structure.

Solidion Technology (NASDAQ: STI) will not increase its all-cash proposal after Polar Power’s board rejected the proposed asset acquisition. The proposal concerns substantially all of Polar Power’s assets, not a completed transaction.
The proposed acquisition is non-binding; an obligation to proceed would require a fully executed written acquisition agreement. Any transaction would be subject to due diligence, financing considerations and required approvals. Solidion intends to continue evaluating acquisition targets and making offers based on its financial modeling.
Polar Power (NASDAQ: POLA) has rejected Solidion’s all-cash proposal to acquire all of the company’s assets following a board review.
The offer was received last week. The board concluded that it undervalued Polar Power’s assets, intellectual property and business opportunities, including future growth opportunities the company anticipates. Polar Power plans to evaluate strategic alternatives, including mergers, acquisitions, business combinations, joint ventures, strategic investments and other transactions, with the stated objective of enhancing shareholder value.
Polar Power (POLA) received a trial order for 50 propane-fueled DC generators from a Southeast Asian telecom operator.
The generators will power off-grid and bad-grid cell sites. The trial could lead to a five-year program covering approximately 2,500 of the customer's sites, but the customer has not committed to broader deployment. Discussions have begun on a next phase of 200 generators. Based on current estimated system pricing, the potential program could generate up to approximately $60 million in revenue over five years. Individual generators range from $19,000 to $27,000, depending on accessories and service options.
Polar purchased approximately 2,000 Toyota 1KS engines to support potential volume growth and previously wrote down approximately $4 million of usable engine inventory. A local LPG distributor expects a contract from its customer to fuel each site for six years; Polar says the distributor's participation is essential to the program.
Polar Power (POLA) announced on September 24, 2026, that CEO Arthur Sams agreed to convert $614,700 of company debt into preferred equity. The agreement calls for 683 Series A Convertible Preferred shares. Polar Power is also issuing Sams a warrant to buy 382,276 common shares at $1.34 per share.
Converting the debt would remove $614,700 from the balance sheet and increase shareholders’ equity. Polar Power has a shareholders’ equity compliance issue and is working to regain and maintain compliance with Nasdaq continued listing requirements.
Polar Power (POLA) reports a substantial reduction in its outstanding debt with Pinnacle Bank to approximately $1.667 million, down from about $4.7 million reported as of September 30, 2025.
The company highlights that this roughly $3.033 million paydown represents about 65% of the prior balance. Since June 30, 2026, the Pinnacle Bank debt has fallen by approximately $1.0 million, from about $2.7 million to about $1.7 million currently. Based on current expectations and available resources, Polar Power expects to repay the remaining Pinnacle Bank balance by the end of September 2026, which it says would eliminate this debt and enhance financial flexibility to support growth initiatives.
Polar Power (NASDAQ: POLA) announced that MSI Defense Solutions has selected and integrated its DC generator into MSI’s Electronic Advanced Ground Launcher System, EAGLS™, an AI-powered anti-drone and anti-missile platform currently deployed in the Middle East.
The integration supports Polar Power’s customer diversification and expands its presence in military applications, including drone defense, robotics, unmanned surface vessels, communications, and battery charging. According to Polar Power, the company aims to position its DC power systems as core field infrastructure for unmanned and autonomous systems operating in remote, off-grid, and mission-critical environments.
