Secondary Offerings
On March 10, 2023, the selling stockholders, which consisted of certain entities controlled by the Company’s founder, completed a secondary offering consisting of 24,501,650 shares of Class A common stock. Following this transaction, the holders of LLC Interests exchanged all the LLC Interests and corresponding shares of Class B common stock of the Company beneficially owned by them into shares of Class A common stock of the Company. As a result, upon effectiveness of such exchanges, all of the LLC Interests in Shoals Parent LLC were held by the Company, no other holders owned LLC Interests and no Class B common stock was or is outstanding. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of our Class A common stock by the selling stockholders in this offering. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were no shares of Class B common stock nor LLC Interests outstanding, and no shares of Class B common stock are currently issuable.
Shoals Parent LLC Ownership
Prior to July 1, 2023, the Company owned 100% of Shoals Parent LLC, was the sole managing member of Shoals Parent LLC and had the sole voting power in, and controlled the management of, Shoals Parent LLC. On July 1, 2023, the Company contributed 100% of its LLC Interests to Shoals Intermediate Parent. Following the contribution, Shoals Parent LLC became a disregarded single member limited liability company, eliminating the Company’s Up-C structure. Effective December 31, 2023, Shoals Parent LLC merged with and into Shoals Intermediate Parent with Shoals Intermediate Parent as the surviving corporation.
Prior to the Company owning 100% of Shoals Parent LLC, the remaining interest in Shoals Parent LLC was held by the Continuing Equity Owners, who could exchange at each of their respective options, in whole or in part, from time to time, their LLC Interests (along with an equal number of shares of Class B common stock (which shares were then immediately canceled)) for cash or newly issued shares of our Class A common stock. Accordingly, the Company consolidated the financial results of Shoals Parent LLC and reported non-controlling interests in its condensed consolidated financial statements. In accordance with the limited liability company agreement of Shoals Parent LLC, Shoals Parent LLC made cash distributions to its members in an amount sufficient to cover the members’ tax liabilities, if any, with respect to each member’s share of Shoals Parent LLC taxable earnings. The payment of these cash distributions by Shoals Parent LLC to Continuing Equity Owners was recorded as distributions to holders of LLC Interests in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Common Stock Economic and Voting Rights
Holders of Class A common stock are entitled to one vote per share and, except as otherwise required, vote together as a single class on all matters on which stockholders generally are entitled to vote.
Share Repurchase Program and Accelerated Share Repurchase Agreement
On June 11, 2024, the Company announced a share repurchase program (the “Repurchase Program”) authorizing the repurchase of up to $150.0 million of the Company’s Class A common stock, with an estimated
completion date of December 31, 2025. Under the Repurchase Program, the Company is authorized to repurchase shares of Class A common stock through open market purchases, privately-negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchases or otherwise in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including through Rule 10b5-1 trading plans and under Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act. The Repurchase Program does not obligate the Company to repurchase shares of Class A common stock and the specific timing and amount of repurchases will vary based on available capital resources and other financial and operational performance metrics, market conditions, securities law limitations, and other factors. The shares repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Program are held as treasury shares of the Company.
In connection with the Repurchase Program, on June 11, 2024, the Company entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement (the “ASR”) with Jefferies LLC to repurchase $25.0 million of the Company’s Class A common stock. Under the terms of the ASR, the Company paid $25.0 million to Jefferies LLC on June 12, 2024, and received 2,202,643 shares of Class A common stock, representing approximately 60% of the notional amount of the ASR, based on the closing price of $6.81 on June 10, 2024.
As of June 12, 2024, the $25.0 million payment to Jefferies LLC was recognized as a reduction to stockholders’ equity, consisting of a $15.0 million increase in treasury stock, which reflected the value of the initial 2,202,643 shares received upon initial settlement, and a $10.0 million decrease in additional paid-in capital, which reflected the value of the shares then held by Jefferies LLC and pending final settlement of the ASR.
On August 5, 2024, in final settlement of the ASR, Jefferies LLC delivered an additional 1,705,744 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock to the Company. Final settlement was based on a repurchase price of $6.40 per share, which was based on the average of the daily volume weighted average price per share of the Company’s Class A common stock during the term of the ASR, less a discount. Upon final settlement the value of the shares was reclassified from Additional Paid-in Capital to Treasury Stock.
The Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock under the Repurchase Program during the twelve months ended December 31, 2025.
