April 21, 2023

On April 21, 2023, Kristina A. Peterson was elected to our Board of Directors effective May 1, 2023.

Ms. Peterson, age 59, has been the Chief Executive Officer of Mayflower Partners, a cleantech financial advisory firm, since 2000. Ms. Peterson has led various solar energy investment companies, serving in senior investment, development, operations and asset management roles at Brookfield Renewable Partners (NYSE: BEP) and Terraform Power (Nasdaq: TERP) from 2015 to 2018, and serving in CEO, CFO and other senior management positions at EDF Renewable Energy, Suntech and Greenwood Energy from 2007 to 2015. Prior to that, she was a project and structured finance investment banker for ABN AMRO Bank and Citibank for ten years in the energy, infrastructure and telecom industries. Ms. Peterson has served as a Non-Executive Director, Chair of the Remuneration Committee and a member of the Audit Committee of Invinity Energy Systems PLC (LSE: IES), a utility-scale battery energy storage company, since November 2021. She has been the Co-Chair of Women Corporate Directors Foundation, San Diego Chapter, a global group of women corporate board directors since 2016 and has served on the board of Coalition for Green Capital, a non-profit with a mission to halt climate change by accelerating investment in clean energy technologies through creation of a national green bank since 2019. She was a director of Iteros, Inc., an energy management software firm, from 2015 to 2020, Greenwood Energy in 2014, Solar Electric Industry Association from 2011 to 2012, and Gemini Solar Development Company from 2007 to 2010. Ms. Peterson was awarded her MBA in Finance and Marketing from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business and received her B.S. Business Administration from Boston University. She completed additional graduate coursework at MIT Sloan School of Management. We believe Ms. Peterson’s executive leadership experience in energy, technology, investment finance and banking organizations, and board governance experience makes her well qualified to be a member of the board of directors.

During the last two years, there have been no transactions or proposed transactions by us in which Ms. Peterson has had or is to have a direct or indirect material interest, and there are no family relationships between Ms. Peterson and any of our executive officers or other directors.

Our Board of Directors has determined that Ms. Peterson is “independent,” as independence is defined in the listing rules for the Nasdaq Stock Market.

With the addition of Ms. Peterson, our Board of Directors currently consists of nine members.
