Good afternoon, As some may have seen, Plug has filed a prospectus supplement after the close today. “This prospectus supplement relates to the potential resale from time to time of some or all of the 54,966,188 shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share, that were issued to Grove Energy Capital LLC, a subsidiary of SK Inc., or SK, which is the selling stockholder identified in this prospectus supplement. The shares of common stock were issued by us to SK pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of January 6, 2021, or the Stock Purchase Agreement, between Plug Power Inc., or the Company, and Grove Energy Capital LLC, Plutus Capital NY, Inc. and SK E&S Americas, Inc., each of which is a subsidiary of SK, in connection with a strategic partnership between the Company and SK.” I thought some clarification might be helpful to Plug’s investors and following analysts: This prospectus does NOT in any form represent a secondary stock sale for Plug Power. As in the original Shareholder Agreement made between Plug and SK in February of 2021; Plug is required to file a prospectus supplement for the benefit of SK two years following the equity stake taken by SK. Click here for the SEC filing with details under Transfer Restrictions Between the second anniversary of the Closing of the Plug / SK transaction, February of 2023, and the third anniversary of the Closing (February 2024), SK may sell no more than 2% of the issued and outstanding shares of Plug common in a 90-day period. This works to be ~12M shares every 90 days. After the third anniversary in February of 2024 the volume restriction for SK will be taken off. SK is generally prohibited from transferring stock to any competitor of Plug. Most importantly, Plug continues to ramp the JV with SK Group, called SK Plug Hyverse, over multiple product launches. Some of these product launches include the busing opportunity in South Korea as well as utility scale stationary applications with plans to ship 400MW By 2025. Should one have any questions regarding this filing please feel free to respond back to Kevin O’Brien and myself.
