MINNETONKA, Minn., July 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pineapple Energy Inc. (NASDAQ: PEGY) (“Pineapple” or the “Company”), a leading provider of sustainable solar energy and back-up power to households and small businesses, is urging shareholders who have yet to vote their shares to do so before July 19th, 2024.
Pineapple’s annual shareholder vote, which was virtually held on July 1st, 2024, had resulted in 49,447,703 shares, or 45.6% voter participation. Due to Pineapple’s charter, 50.001% of all of the Company’s outstanding shares are required to meet corporate quorum requirements.
The meeting was adjourned and rescheduled for 11:00 AM ET on July 19th, 2024.
Interim CEO Scott Maskin noted that there has been an overwhelmingly positive response in favor of all annual proxy vote items from the vote so far.
“I want to thank each of the shareholders that voted their shares. All agenda items are being enthusiastically approved by large majorities,” Maskin said, adding that the voting process itself can be complex. “Shareholder voting is confusing, and many brokerage houses refuse to enter votes on behalf of their shareholders. It is our belief that through the hard work of our leadership and proxy solitication team, we will meet quorum requirements.”
“I once again ask each of you who have or have had shares on the date of record May 23rd, 2024 to contact our proxy solicitor Morrow Sodali at 1-877-787-9239 or email me directly at scott.maskin@pineappleenergy.com to assist you,” Maskin added.
“This applies even if you sold your shares. Meeting quorum and ensuring a positive outcome of this proxy vote will equip your leadership team with the tools necessary to begin restoring shareholder equity. Every vote counts and every share counts.”
