Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On April 14, 2025, SUNation Energy, Inc. (the
“Company”) entered into a Secured Revolving Line of Credit Agreement (the “Agreement”) between the Company and
MBB Energy, LLC, a New York limited liability company, pursuant to which the Company may request one or more loans of up to an aggregate
principle amount $1,000,000 under this line of credit for a period of one (1) year (the “Term”) from the date or entry. Any
loans drawn by the Company under this line of credit facility will carry interest on an annualized basis of 8%, payable monthly on the
first day of each month thereafter. MBB Energy, LLC is an affiliate and related party of the Company by virtue of MBB Energy, LLC being
an entity controlled by Scott Maskin. During the Term, the Company may from time to time borrow, repay and reborrow all or part of the
outstanding balance of the loans drawn thereunder on or after the date hereof and prior to the Maturity Date (or April 15, 2026), subject
to the terms, provisions and limitations set forth in the Agreement.
The foregoing description of the Agreement, as well as the Security
Agreement securing any loans made under the Agreement, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to
the full text of the Agreement, as well as the Security Agreement related thereto, is filed as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10. 2, respectively,
to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation
or an Obligation under Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
The information set forth in Item 1.01 is 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 11, 2025 , the Company received a letter (the “Minimum
Bid Price Deficiency Letter”) from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”)
notifying the Company that, for the 30 consecutive business day period immediately preceding deficiency letter, the Company’s common
stock had not maintained a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”) and, as a result,
does not comply with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Rule”). Normally, a company would be afforded a 180-calendar day period
to demonstrate compliance with the Rule (“Cure Period”); however, pursuant to Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iv), the Company
is not eligible for a customary Cure Period specified in Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) due to the fact that the Company has effected a reverse stock
split over the prior one-year period or has effected one or more reverse stock splits over the prior two-year period with a cumulative
ratio of 250 shares or more to one.
Instead,
the Company is offered an opportunity to appeal any deficiency related to a delisting determination to Nasdaq by seven days from receipt
of the non-compliance notice. Accordingly, unless the Company timely requests a hearing before a Hearings Panel, the Company’s securities
would be subject to suspension/delisting.
The
Company intends to timely request a hearing before the Hearing Panel. The hearing request will automatically stay any suspension or delisting
action pending the hearing and the expiration of any additional extension period if granted by the Panel following the hearing. There
can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company an additional extension period or that the Company will ultimately regain compliance
with all applicable requirements for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market.
In the event that the Company regains compliance
with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement prior to any scheduled hearing date, then a hearing may not be necessary, as the Company may be
mooted out of the hearings process. Additionally, to this end, the stockholders of the Company had approved a share consolidation on
April 3, 2025 that can be utilized within the discretion of the board of directors of the Company and, if and when effectuated, such
action may resolve the above noted Nasdaq listing compliance deficiency prior to such hearing date.
Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.
To
the extent required by Item 3.03 of Form 8-K, the information contained in Item 5.03 herein is incorporated by reference into this Item
3.03.
Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
Effective
April 16, 2025, the Company amended its Certificate of Incorporation (“Certificate of Amendment”) to implement a one-for-two
hundred reverse stock split. The Company’s common stock will began trading on a split-adjusted basis when the market opens on April
21. 2025 (the “Effective Date”). The Board of Directors of the Company approved the amendment to the Company’s Certificate
of Incorporation primarily to meet the share bid price requirements of the NASDAQ Capital Market. The Company’s stockholders approved
the Certificate of Amendment at a special meeting of its stockholders held on April 3, 2025.
As
a result of the reverse stock split, at 12:01 a.m. Central Time on the Effective Date, every 200 shares of common stock then issued and
outstanding automatically will be combined into one share of common stock, with no change in par value per share. No fractional shares
will be outstanding following the reverse stock split, and any fractional shares that would have resulted from the reverse stock split
will be rounded up to the nearest whole share. The text of the Certificate of Amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company
that effected the foregoing actions is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
The
trading symbol for the Company’s common stock will remain “SUNE.” The Company was assigned a new CUSIP number (72303P503)
in connection with the reverse split. All options, warrants and other convertible securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior
to the effectiveness of the Certificate of Amendment will be adjusted in accordance with the terms of the plans, agreements or arrangements
governing such options, warrants and other convertible securities and subject to rounding to the nearest whole share.

April 16, 2025, the Company issued a press release announcing the reverse stock split. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit
