Capital markets and governance analyst

SUNation ups ATM capacity to $30M and changes sales agent.

SUNation Energy, Inc. established a new at-the-market equity offering program with Needham & Company, LLC for up to $30,000,000 of common stock under its Form S-3 shelf. At-the-market programs permit the issuer to sell shares into the market over time through a sales agent, which here will earn up to 3.0% of gross proceeds plus up to $100,000 in reimbursed legal fees.

The company terminated its previous at-the-market agreement with Roth Capital Partners, LLC, which had a capacity of up to $10,000,000, before entering the Needham agreement. This sequence indicates a shift in counterparties and an increased authorized size, though actual issuance will depend on SUNation’s decisions and market conditions because it is not obligated to sell any shares.

On the governance side, director Henry Howard resigned from the board effective August 13, 2025. The company expressed appreciation for his service but did not provide additional detail about board succession in this excerpt. Investors can look to subsequent company communications and future periodic reports for updates on share sales under the new ATM and any board composition changes.

Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

ATM Offering

On August 18, 2025, SUNation Energy, Inc. (“SUNation” or the “Company”) entered into a Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Needham & Company, LLC (“Needham” or the “Sales Agent”). Pursuant to the Sales Agreement, the Sales Agent will act as the Company’s agent with respect to an offering and sale, at any time and from time to time, of the Company’s common stock, par value per share $.05 (the “Shares”). The Company has authorized the sale, at its discretion, of Shares in an aggregate offering amount up to $30,000,000 under the Sales Agreement. Sales of the Shares, if any, will solely be made in “at the market offerings” as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Sales Agent will use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with normal trading and sales practices.

The offer and sale of the Shares will be made pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and declared effective on April 29, 2025 (File No. 333-286663, the “Registration Statement”), and a related prospectus, as supplemented by a prospectus supplement pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act. We will not make any offers or sales of Shares or any other securities registered thereunder unless and until the Registration Statement is declared and maintained as effective by the SEC. We are not obligated to make any sales of Shares under the Sales Agreement and no assurance can be given that we will sell any Shares under the Sales Agreement, or, if we do, as to the price or amount of Shares that we will sell, or the dates on which any such sales will take place.

The Company or the Sales Agent, under certain circumstances and upon notice to the other, may suspend the offering of the Shares under the Sales Agreement. The offering of the Shares pursuant to the Sales Agreement will terminate upon the sale of Shares in an aggregate offering amount equal to $30,000,000, or sooner if either the Company or the Sales Agent terminates the Sales Agreement.

The Company will pay the Sales Agent a cash commission in an amount up to 3.0% of the gross proceeds from each sale of Shares sold pursuant to the Sales Agreement, and will reimburse the Sales Agent for the documented fees and costs of its legal counsel reasonably incurred in connection with entering into the transactions contemplated by the Sales Agreement in an amount not to exceed $100,000 in the aggregate.

The Company made certain customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Sales Agreement concerning the Company and its subsidiaries and the Registration Statement, prospectus, Prospectus Supplement and other documents and filings relating to the offering of the Shares. In addition, the Company has agreed to indemnify the Sales Agent against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

The foregoing description of the Sales Agreement is not complete and is, therefore, qualified in its entirety by reference to the Sales Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The Shares to be sold under the Sales Agreement, if any, will be issued and sold pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement, and a Prospectus Supplement related thereto.

The legal opinion of Rimon P.C., Company counsel, relating to the legality of the issuance and sale of the Shares, is attached as Exhibit 5.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
