Insights

Nextpower is using a mix of cash and stock to buy a sizable European solar platform.

Nextpower plans to acquire Zimmermann PV-Steel Group for up to €330 million, split between €180 million cash, €105 million in stock, and up to €45 million contingent cash. Shares are issued in a private placement under Section 4(a)(2).

Zimmermann is expected to add about €300 million in annual run-rate revenue and €45 million in adjusted EBITDA, indicating a meaningful scale relative to the purchase price. The deal also extends Nextpower’s reach across additional European markets and product categories such as fixed-tilt and floating PV.

Impact will depend on completing regulatory review and successfully integrating Zimmermann’s operations and workforce. Future company filings describing closing status, realized revenue contribution, and any integration costs will help clarify how closely outcomes track these run-rate expectations.

USD equivalent of consideration approximately $378 million Euro consideration translated at June 20, 2026 exchange rates
adjusted EBITDA financial
"Business expected to contribute approximately €300 million in revenue and €45 million of adjusted EBITDA on an annual run-rate basis"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
contingent cash consideration financial
"and (iii) up to €45 million of contingent cash consideration, subject to the terms and conditions of the Share Purchase Agreement"
Contingent cash consideration is an extra payment a buyer agrees to pay the seller only if specific future events happen, such as hitting sales targets or getting regulatory approval — think of it like a performance bonus paid later. Investors care because it changes the effective price of a deal, creates uncertain future cash flows and risk that can alter valuation and returns, and signals how the buyer and seller share risk over unknown outcomes.
Section 4(a)(2) regulatory
"issued in reliance on the exemption from registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, provided by Section 4(a)(2) thereof"
Section 4(a)(2) is a part of U.S. securities laws that allows companies to sell their stock directly to certain investors without registering the sale with regulators. This process is often used for private placements, making it easier and faster for companies to raise money from knowledgeable or institutional investors. It matters to investors because it provides an alternative way to buy shares, often with fewer disclosures and lower costs.
Regulation FD Disclosure regulatory
"Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure. On June 22, 2026, Nextpower issued a press release"
Regulation FD disclosure requires public companies to share important, market-moving information with everyone at the same time instead of tipping off analysts or large investors first. Think of it as making sure all players on a field hear the same announcement simultaneously; that fairness helps investors trust that stock prices reflect the same information and reduces the risk of sudden, unfair trading advantages or regulatory penalties for selective leaks.
forward-looking statements regulatory
"This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995"
Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.
emerging growth company regulatory
"Emerging growth company"
An emerging growth company is a recently public or smaller public firm that qualifies for temporary, lighter regulatory and disclosure rules to reduce the cost and effort of being public. For investors, it means the company may provide less historical financial detail and face fewer reporting requirements than larger firms, so it can grow more quickly but also carries higher uncertainty—like buying a promising early-stage product with fewer user reviews.

INTERSOLAR EUROPE 2026, MUNICH, Germany, June 22, 2026 — Nextpower™ (Nasdaq: NXT), a leading provider of solar and power technology solutions, today announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Zimmermann PV-Steel Group, a Germany-based solar technology provider with more than 20 gigawatts (GW) deployed and deep market presence in Germany, one of Europe’s largest solar markets.
Zimmermann was founded in 1950 and expanded into the solar industry in 2009, delivering more than 2,500 solar projects across 58 countries. By broadening its product portfolio and deepening its regional presence, this acquisition will accelerate Nextpower’s ability to deliver world-class support and comprehensive solutions to solar developers and EPC customers across Europe. The total consideration for the transaction is comprised of cash and stock of up to €330 million, or approximately $378 million based on exchange rates as of June 20, 2026, and is subject to customary closing conditions including required regulatory review. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of Nextpower’s fiscal 2027.
“This transaction represents the next chapter for Nextpower internationally,” said Dan Shugar, founder and CEO of Nextpower. “With Zimmermann, we will significantly expand our product platform and add complementary market presence and supply chain capability in Europe and beyond. Zimmermann’s structural solutions, including fixed tilt, carports, high-density trackers, innovative agriPV solutions, and floating PV will expand our European portfolio to support a broader range of land-use, permitting requirements, and regional use cases. We see a clear opportunity to combine Zimmermann’s strong product engineering and execution capabilities with Nextpower’s bankability and complete product platform to better meet the needs of customers in Europe and accelerate profitable international growth.”
“Zimmermann has built its business by staying customer-focused and delivering high-quality engineered solutions for specific project needs,” said Robert Zimmermann, owner and CEO, Zimmermann. “In Nextpower, we see a partner with highly complementary technologies, geographic footprint, and customer focus. They bring scale and complementary solutions and capabilities that will help us serve our customers more broadly while preserving the local relationships and engineering focus that have defined our business. We see this as an exciting next chapter for our company and employees, as well as for our customers, suppliers, and partners across Europe.”
Fixed tilt represents approximately 50 percent of Europe's utility PV market today according to S&P Global, especially in markets such as Germany, France, and Poland. This transaction, together with Nextpower’s recent international launch of NX Gemini™ (https://nextpower.com/post/press-release/nextpower-expands-solar-tracker-portfolio-in-europe?locale=en-US), a two-in-portrait (2P) tracker, is expected to more than double Nextpower’s addressable GW opportunity in Europe.

Exhibit 99.1

Following the transaction close, the company is expected to operate as “Zimmermann PV, a Nextpower Company,” preserving continuity for customers, employees, and regional market relationships while enabling the business to scale through Nextpower’s global footprint.
