In a significant development for Complete Solaria, the company disclosed today that Kline Hill Partners (KHP), a debt holder, has agreed to a debt-for-equity swap along with an additional cash infusion. As part of the agreement, Complete Solaria will issue 9.8 million shares, equivalent to 19.9% of outstanding stock, to KHP in exchange for the cancellation of its debt. Additionally, Kline Hill has committed to purchasing 3.7 million Complete Solaria warrants.

Mike Bego, CEO of KHP, expressed confidence in Complete Solaria’s future prospects, stating, “We have reinvested the principal and interest from our loan into Complete Solaria’s stock to participate in the Company’s future growth.”

T.J. Rodgers, CEO of Complete Solaria, extended gratitude to Kline Hill for their continued support, acknowledging the collaborative efforts between the two companies over several years. Rodgers further revealed that Kline Hill’s debt conversion is contingent upon the company reaching a similar agreement with its other lenders to convert their debt into equity.

However, Rodgers highlighted a hurdle in the company’s path to recovery, citing Carlyle as an obstacle. He noted that while Kline Hill has agreed to convert its debt, Carlyle remains resistant. Rodgers shared an instance of receiving a threatening email from Carlyle, indicating a potential personal lawsuit.

The agreement with Kline Hill Partners marks a significant step forward for Complete Solaria as it navigates its financial restructuring, yet challenges persist with regards to resolving outstanding debts with other lenders, particularly Carlyle.
