EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

On November 7, 2019, the Company (as defined below) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Original 8-K”) to report, among other things, certain financial information.  The Original 8-K erroneously stated that the Company incurred cash outflows from operations of $8.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 and instead should have stated that the cash outflows from operations during the period was $0.9 million.  The Company is filing this Amendment No. 1 to correct the error. No other modifications to the Original 8-K are being made by this Amendment No. 1.

 

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On November 6, 2019, Real Goods Solar, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Subscription and Escrow Agent Agreement with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Subscription Agent”), as subscription and escrow agent, in connection with the Company’s planned distribution, at no charge, to each of (i) the holders of the Company’s Class A common stock, and (ii) the holders of warrants exercisable for the Company’s Class A common stock, (collectively the “Rights Holders”) non-transferable subscription rights (“Rights”) to purchase up to, subject to proration and other restrictions, an aggregate of 10 shares of Real Goods Solar, Inc.’s Series 1 Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, at a subscription price of $10 per share of Series 1 Preferred Stock (the “Rights Offering”). The Company intends to offer up to 2,000,000 shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock in the Rights Offering. The Company expects to conduct the Rights Offering pursuant to its Offering Statement on Form 1-A (File No. 024-11087), which has not yet been qualified by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

The Subscription Agent will process subscriptions, hold in escrow the funds the Company receives from subscribers and will arrange for the issuance of the shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock purchased pursuant to the Rights Offering after completion of the allocation process. Under the Subscription and Escrow Agent Agreement, the Company will pay the Subscription Agent a fee of $20,000 and will reimburse the Subscription Agent for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.

 

The Subscription and Escrow Agent Agreement contains customary indemnification and limitation of liability provisions.

 

A copy of the Subscription and Escrow Agent Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Backlog may not be indicative of future operating results. The backlog amounts for the Company’s Solar Division excludes backlog of the Company’s mainland residential business, which the Board of Directors determined to exit on March 29, 2019, as previously disclosed.

 

POWERHOUSE™ Revenue and Cash Outflows

 

For the quarter ended September 30, 2019, the Company had minimal revenue from POWERHOUSE™ of $0.2 million and accordingly the Company incurred cash outflows from operations of $0.9 million.

 

Consolidated Debt and Liabilities

 

As of November 6, 2019, the Company had consolidated debt of $0 and liabilities of approximately $6.6 million consisting of trade payables and accrued liabilities.

 

Supply Chain and Tariffs on Chinese Imports

 

The Company engages third-party manufacturers to manufacture components of the in-roof POWERHOUSE™ solar shingle. The major components of the POWERHOUSE™ solar shingle consist of the solar laminate, connectors, wire harnesses, base assembly and integrated flashing system. The solar laminate, connectors and wire harnesses are produced by a manufacturer located in China and shipped to the Company’s U.S. based manufacturer of the baseplate for assembly into a solar shingle. The solar shingle is then shipped to the Company’s third-party logistics provider to warehouse and distribute kitted systems to customers.

 

The tariffs on solar cells and photovoltaic modules from China imposed by the Office of the President of the United States have increased the Company’s cost of goods sold by 26%.

 

The information under this Item 7.01 and the presentation attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 are being furnished by the Company pursuant to Item 7.01. In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information contained under this Item 7.01 and the presentation attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liability of that section.
