Recent Form 8-K reports furnish operating and financial results, revenue outlook updates, material-event disclosures and exhibits tied to press releases.
The filing record also covers capital-structure activity, including common stock sold under an underwriting agreement and shelf registration statement, as well as material agreements, governance matters, shareholder voting matters and executive compensation arrangements. These disclosures describe Orion's no-par-value common stock, Nasdaq Capital Market listing, corporate governance actions and financing arrangements.
Orion Energy Systems restructured the remaining earnout from its 2022 Voltrek acquisition through a mix of cash, stock and a subordinated note. It paid Final Frontier, LLC $500,000 on August 1, 2025 and $375,000 on September 2, 2025 to settle its fiscal 2024 earnout obligations.
On July 16, 2025 Orion issued 1,649,077 shares of common stock, valued at $1.0 million, to Voltrek’s former owner Kathleen Connors toward fiscal 2025 and aggregate fiscal 2023–2025 earnouts. The remaining fiscal 2025 earnout amount will be determined by binding arbitration and evidenced by a senior subordinated note capped at up to $3.0 million under a new subordinated loan agreement.
The note requires monthly principal payments of $25,000 starting January 15, 2026, rising to $50,000 from July 15, 2026 until its July 15, 2027 maturity, with interest at 7% annually from July 15, 2025. The obligations are secured by subordinated liens on substantially all company and subsidiary assets, with Bank of America’s facilities remaining senior. Separate support and board observer agreements with Final Frontier and Ms. Connors address voting commitments and limited board meeting attendance rights.
Orion Energy Systems, Inc. reports that it has regained compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price listing requirement. The company previously fell below the $1.00 per share minimum bid price for 30 consecutive trading days and was given until March 19, 2025, and then an additional extension to September 15, 2025, to cure the deficiency.
To address this, Orion implemented a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of its common stock, effective at the opening of trading on August 22, 2025. As a result of the reverse split’s effect on the share price, Nasdaq staff notified Orion on September 8, 2025 that it has regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule and will continue to be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
