"Becoming a publicly traded company is an extraordinary milestone for our employees, our shareholders, and for the residential solar industry," said Zeo CEO Tim Bridgewater. "We are confident that this merger with ESGEN enables us to accelerate our growth strategy, partner with industry players, and serve more customers seeking renewable energy solutions to meet their power and energy storage needs. We've worked hard to build our strong financial performance track record in recent years and look forward to delivering continued growth and profitability through Sunergy's approach to selling residential solar systems."
"From the beginning, we set out to partner with a scalable and profitable company dedicated to advancing the energy transition," said ESGEN CEO Andrejka Bernatova. "We're confident that Tim and the Sunergy team are the ideal partner, and that the combined company will be attractively positioned in the secular shift towards a distributed, decarbonized economy. We also focused on building a supportive and cohesive investor base, and carefully structured this transaction to best position the combined company for growth and flexibility moving forward. We look forward to our continued partnership working with Tim and his exceptional team in their next chapter of growth."
The transaction will result in gross proceeds of approximately $18 million to Zeo. Funds from the transaction are expected to fund Zeo's operations and growth strategy and pay certain expenses related to the Business Combination
