Audience: Sunrun and Vivint Solar Employees
LYNN JURICH:
Hello to all the Sunrun employees and Vivint Solar employees watching this video. My name is Lynn Jurich and Im the co-Founder and CEO of Sunrun, the nations leading solar, battery, and energy services company. On the call with me today are Sunruns Executive Chairman, Ed Fenster, and David Bywater, the CEO of Vivint
Solar, another leading solar and battery provider.
You may have seen in the press release and internal emails that today an agreement was reached for
Sunrun to acquire Vivint.
We have big ambitions for what we can accomplish together. This will bring access to clean energy to more families and more
households. Together, as a combined company, we can also use our shared knowledge and resources to improve our cost structure, to develop new products and services, and to expand access to clean solar and battery power.
While our companies together already have 500,000 customers, we are just scratching the surface. In the US, only 3% of households have solar power, and yet 9
out of 10 people say they favor more solar energy.
Weve been incredibly impressed with David and the team. The quality of the installation, the
quality of the sales practices, and Vivint Solars direct-to-home sales model is a perfect complement to Sunruns sales channels. Together we are going to be
able to reach more customers and spread the word of affordable, clean home solar and batteries.
Id like to close with a huge thanks to our
committed and hardworking Sunrun employees, and our excitement in welcoming the Vivint Solar team. Together as a combined company, we are committed to offering the best employee benefits and the best career opportunities. And we will be the best
place to work in the solar industry. That also means were going to re-double our efforts to have a diverse and inclusive workforce. We want all of our employeesnew and oldto belong.
Thank you very much. And with that, Ill turn it over to David Bywater.
DAVID BYWATER:
Thank you, Lynn, for the introduction. As
Lynn stated, Im David Bywater, the chief executive officer of Vivint Solar. Lynn, Ed and I have had the chance to get to know each other quite well throughout this process, and I couldnt be more excited about their leadership in the
industry and todays announcement. From the beginning of our conversations it was clear to us that we shared a strong vision of what solar can do for families across the country. Expanding access to home solar and batteries not only creates a
better today, but a much better tomorrow. At Vivint Solar we envisioned a world powered by 100% clean energy, and have made it our mission to bring clean energy solutions to every home. Combining the strengths of Sunrun and Vivint Solar is truly a
transformational opportunity. Combined, we will be able to bring solar and batteries to more homes, further delight customers, provide increased value to the grid, gain skill, and accelerate innovative solutions. My sincere thanks go out to everyone
at Vivint Solar for all you have done to make our company great. I know greater things are in store and cant wait to see what we, at Sunrun and Vivint Solar, accomplish together.
