Item 7.01.Regulation FD

 

On May 14, 2018, EnSync, Inc. (the “Company”) reported that it has filed a lawsuit against SPI Solar, Inc. (fka Solar Power, Inc.) (“SPI”) in the Circuit Court, Waukesha County of the State of Wisconsin seeking a declaratory judgment releasing the Company from its obligations under the Governance Agreement between the Company and SPI dated July 13, 2015 (the “Governance Agreement”). The complaint for the lawsuit asserts, among other things, that the Company should be released from its obligations under the Governance Agreement due to the Doctrine of Frustration of Purpose. As detailed in the complaint, the basis for this claim is that the Company’s principle purpose for entering into the Governance Agreement was as a condition and inducement to SPI to deliver 40 MWs of equipment purchases according to the Supply Agreement between the Company and SPI dated July 13, 2015 (the “Supply Agreement”). The complaint alleges that SPI’s failure to perform its obligations under the Supply Agreement frustrated the principal purpose for the Governance Agreement.

 

In addition, as previously reported, due to SPI’s failure to meet any of its 40 MW purchase obligations, the Company terminated the Supply Agreement on May 4, 2017. The conditions that would have enabled SPI to convert its Series C Preferred Stock were set forth in that Supply Agreement and terminated with the Supply Agreement.
