Tigo Energy Announces $50 Million Capital Raise to Support Growth Initiatives

“We look forward to deploying this capital to further our mission of providing critical solar solutions that optimize safety, yield and costs,” said Zvi Alon, Chairman and CEO of Tigo. “This investment, coupled with anticipated proceeds from our business combination with Roth CH Acquisition IV Co., puts us in a position of strength as we look towards entering the public markets and continuing our robust growth trajectory.”

Tigo Energy, Inc. ("Tigo", or the "Company"), a leading provider of intelligent solar and energy storage solutions, has signed a definitive agreement with L1 Energy for the purchase of $50 million of newly issued Convertible Notes (the "Notes") to support the Company's future growth opportunities through the deployment of its intelligent solar and energy storage solutions and repayment of existing debt. The transaction closed concurrently with signing.


The Notes bear a fixed annual interest rate of 5.0% with a maturity date of 36 months. The Notes may be converted at the option of the investor into shares of Tigo common stock or an equivalent equity instrument created as a result of a Public Company Event, which includes a merger with a Special Purpose Acquisition Company. The conversion price is based on a pre-money valuation of $550 million, excluding the shares issuable in the respect of the Notes and any such applicable shares issued associated with a Public Company Event.
