GARDENA, Calif., Sept. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Polar Power, Inc. (NASDAQ: POLA) today announced that Arthur D. Sams, the Company’s Founder, President and Chief Executive Officer, has agreed to convert $614,700 of debt owed to him by the Company into 683 Series A Convertible Preferred shares of Polar Power.

The conversion eliminates $614,700 of debt from the Company’s balance sheet, increases shareholders’ equity, and represents an important step toward addressing the Company’s shareholders’ equity compliance issue.

“Converting this debt into equity reflects my confidence in Polar Power’s future and my commitment to the Company’s long-term success,” said Arthur Sams, Founder, President and Chief Executive Officer. “I believe the opportunities ahead of us across telecommunications, data center power, defense and distributed energy markets position Polar Power for meaningful growth.”

In addition to the preferred shares, Polar is also issuing to Mr. Sams a warrant to purchase 382,276 shares of the Company’s common stock at $1.34 per share.

The Company believes the debt-to-equity conversion strengthens its capital structure and supports its efforts to regain and maintain compliance with applicable Nasdaq continued listing requirements. This debt-to-equity conversion was approved by Polar’s Audit Committee, consisting entirely of independent board members.
