Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On April 21, 2024, Complete Solaria, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an amendment to a simple agreement for future equity, dated January 31, 2024, (the “First SAFE Amendment”) with the Rodgers Massey Freedom and Free Markets Charitable Trust (the “Purchaser”) in connection with the Purchaser investing $1,500,000 in the Company. The First SAFE Amendment converts the $1,500,000 investment into shares of common stock of the Company. The First SAFE Amendment is convertible into a maximum of 4,166,667 shares of Common Stock, assuming a per share conversion price of $0.36, which is the product of (i) $0.45, the closing price of the Common Stock on April 19, 2024, multiplied by (ii) 80%.

 

On April 21, 2024, the Company entered into an amendment to a simple agreement for future equity, dated February 9, 2024, (the “Second SAFE Amendment” and together with the First SAFE Amendment, the “SAFE Amendments”) with Rodgers Family Freedom and Free Markets Charitable Trust in connection with the Purchaser investing $3,500,000 in the Company. The Second SAFE Amendment converts the $3,500,000 investment into shares of Common Stock. The Second SAFE Amendment is convertible into a maximum of 9,722,222 shares of Common Stock, assuming a per share conversion price of $0.36, which is the product of (i) $0.45, the closing price of the Common Stock on April 19, 2024, multiplied by (ii) 80%.

 

Thurman J. Rodgers is a trustee of the Purchaser and is the Executive Chairman of the board of directors of the Company.

 

The foregoing description of the SAFE Amendments does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the SAFE Amendments, the form of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

 

On April 16, 2024, the Company received written notice (the “Notice”) from the Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that it is not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) requires listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share, and Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) provides that a failure to meet the minimum bid price requirement exists if the deficiency continues for a period of 30 consecutive business days.

 

The Notice does not impact the listing of the Company’s common stock on The Nasdaq Global Market at this time. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has 180 calendar days to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock must be at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days before October 14, 2024. In the event that the Company does not regain compliance within this 180-day period, the Company may be eligible to seek an additional compliance period of 180 calendar days if it meets the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the minimum bid price requirement, and provides written notice to Nasdaq of its intent to cure the deficiency during this second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split if necessary. However, if it appears to the Nasdaq staff that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is otherwise not eligible, Nasdaq will provide notice to the Company that its common stock will be subject to delisting.

 

The Company intends to actively monitor the closing bid price of its common stock and will evaluate available options to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement.

 

Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing

 

On April 16, 2024, the Company received a letter (the “Letter”) from the staff at The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, for the 30 consecutive trading days prior to the date of the Letter, the Company’s common stock had traded at a value below the minimum $50,000,000 “Market Value of Listed Securities” (“MVLS”) requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A), which is required for continued listing of the Company’s common stock on The Nasdaq Global Market. The Letter is only a notification of deficiency, not of imminent delisting, and has no current effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s securities on Nasdaq.

 

In accordance with Nasdaq listing rule 5810(c)(3)(C), the Company has 180 calendar days, or until October 14, 2024, to regain compliance. The Letter notes that to regain compliance, the Company’s common stock must trade at or above a level such that the Company’s MVLS closes at or above $50,000,000 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days during the compliance period, which ends October 14, 2024. The Letter further notes that if the Company is unable to satisfy the MVLS requirement prior to such date, the Company may be eligible to transfer the listing of its securities to The Nasdaq Capital Market (provided that the Company then satisfies the requirements for continued listing on that market).

 

If the Company does not regain compliance by October 14, 2024, Nasdaq staff will provide written notice to the Company that its securities are subject to delisting. At that time, the Company may appeal any such delisting determination to a hearings panel.

 

The Company intends to actively monitor the Company’s MVLS between now and October 14, 2024, and may, if appropriate, evaluate available options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with the MVLS requirement. While the Company is exercising diligent efforts to maintain the listing of its securities on Nasdaq, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain or maintain compliance with Nasdaq listing standards.
