Risk Factors\n\nIn addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the “Form 10-K”), which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results.\n\nThere have been no material changes in the risk factors disclosed in our Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 23, 2026, other than as set forth below.\n\nWe periodically receive proposals to consider expansion, diversification and other forms of strategic transactions, and any such transactions that we may consider or consummate in the future could have negative consequences.\n\nOn April 9, 2026, the Company announced that its Board of Directors has authorized the review of a full range of strategic alternatives aimed at increasing shareholder value and best positioning the Company for long-term success, and in connection therewith, the Company has engaged Maxim Group, LLC to serve as its M&A and financial advisor to assist in this strategic process. The review will consider a broad spectrum of possible actions, including, but not limited to, a potential sale of the Company, strategic merger or other business combinations, acquisitions, divestitures of assets, further optimization of the corporate structure, or other strategic or financial transactions that could enhance shareholder value and further optimize capital resources. Additionally, we have in the past and continue to periodically receive inquiries related to a range of strategic transactions and strategic alternatives, ranging from offers to acquire assets to grow our existing business to expansions to diversify our business and more. Strategic alternatives, if consummated, could take the form of mergers, acquisitions, partnerships, joint ventures, licensing arrangements or other strategic transactions.\n\nWe expect to continue to devote substantial time, as well as substantial human and capital resources, to exploring legitimate strategic options that we believe may increase shareholder value. There can be no assurance that any of these proposals will result in a successful consummation, if pursued, or that they will be completed on attractive terms or at all. Additionally, there can be no assurances that any particular course of action, business arrangement or transaction, or series of transactions, will lead to increased shareholder value or that it will ultimately result in a successful expansion or diversified business.\n\nThe process of evaluating these strategic options may be very costly, including such as legal and accounting fees, expenses and other related charges that would otherwise be committed to operations. In addition, any strategic business combination or other transactions that we may consummate in the future could have a variety of negative consequences and we may implement a course of action or consummate a transaction that yields unexpected results that adversely affect our business and decreases the remaining cash available for use in our business.\n\nAdditionally, a number of the foregoing and other significant factors may be beyond our control, including, among other things, market conditions, industry trends, the interest of third parties in a potential transaction with us, obtaining shareholder approval and the availability of financing to third parties in a potential transaction with us on reasonable terms. Any failure of such potential transaction to achieve the anticipated results could significantly impair our ability to enter into any future strategic transactions and may significantly diminish or delay any future distributions to our shareholders.\n\nIf we are not successful in identifying a successful strategic alternative, expansion or diversification or if our plans are not executed in a timely fashion, this may cause reputational harm with our shareholders and the value of our common stock shares may be materially adversely impacted. In addition, speculation regarding any developments related to the review of strategic alternatives and/or perceived uncertainties related to the future of our business could cause our share price to fluctuate significantly or result in the total loss of your investment.\n\n35\n\nChanges in our business strategy or restructuring of our businesses may increase our costs or otherwise affect our businesses.\n\nWe continually review our operations with a view toward reducing our cost structure, including, but not limited to, reducing our labor cost-to-revenue ratio, improving process and system efficiencies and increasing our revenues and operating margins. During the 2026, we have reduced headcount and related personnel costs as we adjust to the reduction in residential solar installation demand following the January 1, 2026 effective date of the loss of certain federal residential tax credits. Despite these efforts, we have needed and may continue to need to adjust our business strategies to meet these changes, or we may otherwise find it necessary to restructure our operations or particular businesses or assets. When these changes or events occur, we may incur costs to change our business strategy and may need to write down the value of assets or sell certain assets. Additionally, we may seek to strategically roll up entities that we believe will be revenue accretive, and/or consider strategic transactions that may significantly alter our principal business focus or expand or diversify our business, in each case, such strategic transaction may result in a need to execute a financing, including potentially significant dilutive financings. Any of these events our costs may increase, and we may have significant charges or losses associated with the write-down or divestiture of assets and our business may be materially and adversely affected."}
