Introductory Note

 

As previously disclosed, on December 5, 2022, Roth CH Acquisition IV Co., a Delaware corporation (“ROCG”), Roth IV Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of ROCG (“Merger Sub”), and Tigo Energy, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Legacy Tigo”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, as amended on April 6, 2023 (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other transactions, on May 23, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), Merger Sub merged with and into Legacy Tigo (the “Merger”), with Legacy Tigo surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of ROCG (the Merger, together with the other transactions described in the Merger Agreement, the “Business Combination”). In connection with the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), ROCG changed its name to “Tigo Energy, Inc.” (sometimes referred to herein as “New Tigo”).

 

On May 18, 2023, ROCG held a special meeting of its stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) in connection with the Business Combination. At the Special Meeting, ROCG stockholders voted to approve the Business Combination with Legacy Tigo and the other related proposals. Prior to the Special Meeting, a total of 1,945,251 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001, of ROCG (“ROCG common stock”) were presented for redemption for cash at a price of approximately $10.40 per share in connection with the Special Meeting.

 

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, immediately prior to the effective time of the Business Combination (the “Effective Time”), Legacy Tigo (i) caused each share of Legacy Tigo preferred stock issued and outstanding to be automatically converted into a number of shares of Legacy Tigo common stock (the “Legacy Tigo common stock”) in accordance with Legacy Tigo’s charter (the “preferred stock conversion”) and (ii) used reasonable best efforts to cause the “cashless” exercise of Legacy Tigo warrants (each, a “Legacy Tigo warrant”), in accordance with their terms, for Legacy Tigo common stock (the “warrant exercise”). As of the Closing Date, all holders of Legacy Tigo have exercised such warrants for shares of Legacy Tigo common stock.

 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Business Combination, each share of Legacy Tigo common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Closing (including shares of Legacy Tigo common stock issued in the preferred stock conversion and warrant exercise prior to the Closing but excluding shares owned by Legacy Tigo or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Legacy Tigo as treasury stock, shares owned by ROCG, and shares of Legacy Tigo common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time held by a holder who has not voted in favor of adoption of the Merger Agreement or consented thereto in writing and who is entitled to demand and has properly exercised appraisal rights of such shares in accordance with Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (as it may be amended from time to time, the “DGCL”) and otherwise complied with all of the provisions of the DGCL relevant to the exercise and perfection of dissenters’ rights (such shares (the “dissenting shares”)) were cancelled and converted into the right to receive 0.233335 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of New Tigo (the “Common Stock”).

 

At the Effective Time, each outstanding Legacy Tigo stock option (each, a “Legacy Tigo stock option”), whether vested or unvested, converted into an option to purchase a number of shares of New Tigo Common Stock equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of Legacy Tigo common stock underlying such Legacy Tigo stock option immediately prior to the Closing and (y) 0.233335, at an exercise price per share equal to (A) the exercise price per share of Legacy Tigo common stock underlying such Legacy Tigo stock option immediately prior to the Closing divided by (B) 0.233335.

 

At the Effective Time, after giving effect to the warrant exercise, each outstanding Legacy Tigo warrant to purchase Legacy Tigo common stock, whether or not exercisable, will be converted into a warrant to purchase a number of shares of New Tigo Common Stock equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of Legacy Tigo common stock underlying such Legacy Tigo warrant immediately prior to the Closing and (y) 0.233335.

 

Immediately after giving effect to the Business Combination, there were 58,144,543 issued and outstanding shares of New Tigo common stock. ROCG’s public units separated into their component securities upon consummation of the Business Combination and, as a result, no longer trade as a separate security and were delisted from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”). As of the Closing Date, our post-Closing directors and executive officers and their respective affiliated entities beneficially owned approximately 30.2% of the outstanding shares of New Tigo common stock, and the securityholders of ROCG immediately prior to the Closing (which includes the Sponsors and their affiliates) beneficially owned post-Closing approximately 3.1% of the outstanding shares of New Tigo common stock.

 

The New Tigo common stock and warrants commenced trading on Nasdaq under the symbols “TYGO” and “TYGOW”, respectively, on May 24, 2023.

 

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement and the Business Combination does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Unless context otherwise requires, “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” refer to New Tigo and its subsidiaries following the Closing. All references herein to the “Board” refer to the board of directors of New Tigo.

Indemnification Agreements

 

On May 23, 2023, in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, the Company entered into separate indemnification agreements with each of its directors and executive officers. These indemnification agreements provide the directors and executive officers with contractual rights to indemnification and the advancement of certain expenses incurred by each such director or executive officer in any action or proceeding arising out of his or her services as one of the Company’s directors or executive officers.

 

The foregoing description of the indemnification agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the form of indemnification agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

On May 23, 2023, in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination and as contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Company entered into an amended and restated registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with CHLM Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“CHLM”), CR Financial Holdings, Inc., a New York company (“CRFH” and, together with CHLM, the “Sponsors”), certain stockholders of ROCG and certain stockholders of Legacy Tigo, pursuant to which, among other things, the Company agreed to undertake certain shelf registration obligations in accordance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and certain subsequent related transactions and obligations, including, among other things, undertaking certain registration obligations, and the preparation and filing of required documents. The material terms of the Registration Rights Agreement are described on page 249 of the final prospectus and definitive proxy statement, dated April 26, 2023 (the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”), in the section entitled “Other Agreements—Registration Rights Agreement.”

 

The foregoing description of the Registration Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the form of Registration Rights, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Lock-Up Agreements and Bylaw Restrictions

 

On May 23, 2023, in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination and as contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Sponsors, certain holders of ROCG founder shares and the Requisite Company Stockholders (as defined in the Merger Agreement) entered into separate lock-up agreements (each, a “Lock-Up Agreement”) with the Company. Pursuant to the Lock-up Agreements, the Requisite Company Stockholders agreed, among other things, that their shares received as merger consideration may not be transferred until November 23, 2023, the date that is six months following the Closing Date. Pursuant to the Lock-up Agreements, the Sponsors and other holders of founder shares agreed, among other things, that their founder shares acquired prior to ROCG’s initial public offering may not be transferred until November 23, 2023, the date that is six months following the Closing Date. However, the aforementioned parties may transfer, subject to restrictions under applicable securities laws, (i) up to 5% of their common stock held immediately after Closing, or such common stock otherwise issued or issuable in connection with the Business Combination, until August 1, 2023, the date that is 90 days after Closing, and (ii), from August 22, 2023, the 91st day after Closing, through November 23, 2023, up to an additional 5% (for a total of up to 10% during such periods) of common stock held by the holder immediately after Closing; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the remaining 90% of the common stock held by the holders immediately after Closing may be transferred beginning on November 23, 2023. The material terms of the Lock-Up Agreement are described beginning on page 248 of the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus in the section entitled “Other Agreements—Registration Rights Agreement.”

 

The foregoing description of the Lock-Up Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the form of Lock-up Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.3 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

In addition to the Lock-Up Agreements, the Bylaws (as defined below) contain a provision that also prohibits the transfer of shares of Common Stock of the Company held immediately following the Closing, or such shares of Common Stock otherwise issued or issuable in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, until November 23, 2023. The Bylaws, similar to the Lock-Up Agreements, permit the transfer, subject to restrictions under applicable securities laws, (i) up to 5% of Common Stock held immediately after Closing, or such common stock otherwise issued or issuable in connection with the Business Combination, until August 1, 2023, the date that is 90 days after Closing, and (ii), from August 22, 2023, the 91st day after Closing, through November 23, 2023, up to an additional 5% (for a total of up to 10% during such periods) of Common Stock held by the holder immediately after Closing. The Bylaw provision applies to all shareholders of the Company that were issued shares of Common Stock of the Company in accordance with, and pursuant to, the Merger Agreement.

 

In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, the Board released from the transfer restrictions contained in the Lock-Up Agreements and Bylaws, as applicable, an additional 3% of shares subject to such restrictions. As a result, the holders of shares subject to the transfer restrictions contained in the Lock-Up Agreements and Bylaws, as applicable, may transfer , subject to restrictions under applicable securities laws, up to 8% of their shares subject to such agreements immediately after the Closing.

As a result of the consummation of the Business Combination, and as discussed below in Item 5.06 of this Current Report, the Company has ceased to be a shell company. Accordingly, the Company is providing the information below that would be included in a Form 10 if the Company were to file a Form 10.
