SUNation Energy Eliminates Remaining $1.1 Million Legacy Debt, Removing Multi-Year Payment Obligation and Improving Cash Flow

Written by Customer Service on . Posted in Public Companies.

RONKONKOMA, N.Y., Feb. 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SUNation Energy Inc. (Nasdaq: SUNE) (“SUNation” or the “Company”), a leading provider of sustainable solar energy and backup power solutions to residential, commercial, and municipal customers, today announced that it has eliminated the remainder of approximately $1.1M (of an original $2.5m) and substantially reduced its monthly repayments related to a long-term debt obligation of its wholly-owned subsidiary SUNation Solar Systems, significantly improving ongoing cash flow and strengthening the Company’s balance sheet.

The debt obligation originated from an April 2021 buyout agreement related to the retirement of a former SUNation Solar Systems shareholder. Prior to reaching this settlement, the promissory note carried remaining principal of approximately $1.1M and required monthly payments of approximately $25,000 for nearly five additional years (to 2031).

To eliminate the long-term promissory note, significantly reduce this remaining multi-year obligation and improve financial flexibility, the Company negotiated a one-time lump-sum settlement payment of $800,000.

As a result of this transaction, SUNation has reduced its aggregate principal obligation by approximately $335,000 and also expects its recurring monthly obligation associated with this arrangement to be reduced to approximately $5,000, representing savings of approximately $20,000 per month on a forward-looking basis.

“Our philosophy has always been ‘promises made, promises kept,’” said Scott Maskin, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of SUNation. “By eliminating this remaining legacy obligation, we have significantly reduced a total debt obligation, improved cash flow visibility, and enhanced our ability to focus on executing our strategic priorities.”

This action is the latest in a series of a broader balance-sheet and capital-structure initiatives undertaken by SUNation’s management team, including the final cash distribution to holders of non-transferable Contingent Value Rights in December 2025 and the termination of the Company’s Series A Warrants in June 2025.

For additional details, please refer to the 8-K which shall be filed in connection with the matters referenced in this press release, which shall contain more detailed information related hereto.
