**Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.**

On August 19, 2025, Tigo Energy, Inc. (the "Company") entered into a manufacturing and supply agreement (the "Agreement") with EG4 Electronics LLC ("EG4"), pursuant to which the Company agreed to manufacture, package and supply, and EG4 agreed to purchase, certain Optimized Inverters (as defined in the Agreement). The Optimized Inverters will be purchased by EG4 by providing written purchase orders to the Company specifying the number of units and prepaying 10% of the purchase price with respect to such order.

Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company and EG4 acknowledged that the manufacturing and production of the Optimized Inverters within the United States will qualify Company to receive certain tax credits pursuant to Section 45x of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (Advanced Manufacturing Production Tax Credit) (the "45x Tax Credits"). If the Company is eligible to receive any 45x Tax Credits, the Company will apply for such 45x Tax Credits to the maximum extent available to the Company as a result of the manufacture of the Optimized Inverters pursuant to the Agreement. In the event the Company receives any 45x Tax Credits, the Company will pay EG4, within 90 days, an agreed upon amount of such 45x Tax Credits.

The initial term of the Agreement lasts until August 19, 2029 and will automatically renew for successive one-year periods unless earlier terminated or amended, in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. The Agreement may be terminated by either party (i) for a material breach by the other party that is not cured within 60 days, (ii) upon at least 90 days prior written notice to the other party, (iii) if the other party undergoes a change of control, ceases to function as a going-concern, a bankruptcy petition is filed against the other party or either party fails to pay its debts as they become due and such breach has not been cured within 60 days and (iv) if the Company ceases to be eligible to receive the 45x Tax Credits. The Agreement also includes customary acceptance, delivery, warranty, conformity, and confidentiality terms and conditions.

The foregoing description of the Agreement is qualified in its entity by reference to the full text of the Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.

Each party may be referred to hereafter as "Party" or collectively as the "Parties."

**WHEREAS**, Company is in the business of the sale and manufacturing of solar energy solutions;

**WHEREAS**, The Parties desire to collaborate to manufacture, package and sell residential inverter products;

**WHEREAS,** EG4 wishes to purchase certain Optimized Inverters (as defined below) from Company, and Company desires to manufacture and/or package and sell the Optimized Inverters to EG4, in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement;

**APPOINTMENT OF EG4**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.1. <u>Optimized Inverters.</u> The Company shall manufacture, package and supply, and EG4 shall purchase the Optimized Inverters as set forth herein. "Optimized Inverter" means a solution that includes the TS4-A-Os (the "Optimizers") and an inverter, which includes an integrated Tigo CCA and related software, with the number of Optimizers to be defined, with such solution qualifying for the 45x Tax Credit (as defined below).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.2. <u>Exclusivity.</u> This Agreement does not limit Company's or EG4's right to manufacture or sell, or preclude Company from manufacturing or selling, to any person or entity, or entering into any agreement with any other person or entity related to the manufacture or sale of other goods or products that are similar to or competitive with the Optimized Inverters. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the date of the signature of the MOU between the Parties (October 25, 2025) neither entity will enter into any discussions or agreement with any third party related to the integration of Company products into the products of suppliers of residential inverters manufactured in the United States without the express written agreement of the other party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.3. <u>Non-Binding Forecasts</u>. EG4 will provide Company with a non-binding Forecast (as defined below) on a rolling basis for each twelve (12) month period during the Term. Forecasts are for informational purposes only and do not create any binding obligations on behalf of either Party. "Forecast" means, with respect to any twelve (12) month period, a good faith projection or estimate of EG4 requirements for the Optimized Inverters during each month during the period, which approximates, as nearly as possible, based on information available at the time to EG4, the quantity of Optimized Inverters that EG4 may order for each such month, subject to the minimum order quantities required in Section 1.5. Forecasts will be provided in such manner and on forms as specified by Company and agreed to by EG4.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.4. <u>Purchase Orders</u>. EG4 shall order Optimized Inverters by: (a) providing written purchase orders to Company specifying the number of units; and (b) prepaying ten (10%) percent of the purchase price pursuant to such order, as further specified in Section 1.8 below. Company shall indicate its acceptance of such purchase order by returning an order acknowledgement to EG4 with a firm commit ship date. Company agrees to deliver units to EG4 as close as possible to the delivery schedule set forth in each order as accepted by Company, unless Company otherwise indicates in writing. Company shall not be required to honor any purchase order which specifies a delivery date earlier than Company's then current delivery schedule.

In the event of such cancellation by EG4, EG4 shall be responsible for non-reusable raw materials, work in process, and finished goods costs incurred by Company related to the materials acquired in service of the acknowledged purchase order plus a 10% cancellation fee to cover Company's overhead.

Tigo Energy Initiates 'Made in the USA' Manufacturing Partnership With EG4 Electronics

*Inverter and optimizer manufacturing partnership will bring Tigo products into the American domestic market manufacturing lines; companies to host joint session for installers at RE+ 2025 tradeshow.*

 

**LOS GATOS, Calif., August** **25, 2025** — Tigo Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: TYGO) ("Tigo" or "Company"), a leading provider of intelligent solar and energy software solutions, today announced a manufacturing and marketing partnership with EG4 Electronics, a leading American provider of innovative solar solutions, to produce Tigo optimized inverters and Module Level Power Electronics (MLPE) together with EG4 solar inverters in the United States of America. Solar installers in the U.S. currently already pair inverters from EG4 with Tigo MLPE devices, which have been certified as compatible.

The manufacturing partnership between Tigo and EG4 will build momentum to help bring critical energy manufacturing back to the United States and power reliable, homegrown solar solutions. In March 2025, EG4 Electronics' parent company, Energy Access Innovations (EAI), announced the acquisition of a state-of-the-art 310,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility in Commerce, Texas. The facility is a further milestone for American energy independence and economic prosperity, creating more than 1,000 new American jobs and helping to advance the nation's energy security.

"We believe in energy autonomy for our customers just as much as we believe in manufacturing autonomy for American innovators, and this partnership with Tigo allows us to make significant progress on both of those fronts," said James Showalter, founder at EG4 Electronics. "This partnership with Tigo is exactly the kind of arrangement we had in mind when we announced our new manufacturing facility earlier this year. We look forward to building American-made energy infrastructure together with Tigo."

"EG4 is at the forefront of re-shoring manufacturing for American solar innovations, and we are delighted to work in partnership with James and his team," said Zvi Alon, chairman and CEO at Tigo Energy. "Tigo and EG4 are in alignment on some of the most critical success factors in solar, which include innovation and quality. This makes for a strong foundation for success, and I expect great things for American energy independence from this important collaboration."

To find out when EG4 and Tigo executives will host a Q&A session for solar installers at the 2025 RE+ tradeshow in Las Vegas, Nevada, check the Tigo event page, here.
