November 6, 2020

 

Dear Stockholder,

 

Thank you for your investment in Sunworks Inc. This is a pivotal time for the future of your investment. As one of our most significant stockholders, your vote is especially important in determining the future of Sunworks. Our records show that we have not received your vote for the upcoming Special Meeting of Stockholders occurring on Thursday, November 12, 2020.

 

We kindly request that you support the Board of Directors’ (three of whom will stay on the board of directors of the combined company) unanimous recommendation by voting “FOR” the proposed Adoption of the Merger Agreement between Sunworks and Peck Company Holdings, Inc. as shown below:

 

Proposal for Stockholder Vote

 

Adoption of the Merger Agreement. To vote on a proposal to adopt the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 10, 2020, between Sunworks and Peck Company Holdings, Inc. as it may be amended from time to time, which is further described in the Joint Proxy statement/Prospectus, sent earlier including the section entitled “The Merger Agreement” beginning on page 147 of the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

 

We encourage you to vote your shares as soon as possible.

 

We believe that this merger provides Sunworks with the opportunity to significantly reduce general and administrative costs by eliminating the duplication of the costs incurred for both companies needing to comply with public reporting requirements and eliminating duplicative management. The combined companies will have greater geographical coverage, better access to project finance funds, enhanced supply chain management and greater access to capital sources than Sunworks standing alone.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Please vote today by using the methods described on the enclosed voting form. Because the Special Meeting is fast approaching, we encourage you to vote your shares by phone or over the internet to ensure your vote is received in time. Please note that the deadline for voting your shares is Wednesday, November 11, 2020 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.

 

We greatly appreciate your prompt participation and support.

 

Sincerely,

 

Chuck Cargile

Chairman - Sunworks Inc.
