State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-CEN, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
Spruce Power Holding Corporation (the “Company”) has determined it is unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Form 10-K”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by the prescribed filing date for the reasons below.
The Company was unable to complete, without unreasonable effort or expense, the preparation of its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, because the Company requires additional time to complete certain items with respect to the consolidated financial statements to be included in the Form 10-K. The Company believes that the work in connection with compiling the financial information for the Form 10-K will be completed within the extension period.
The Company anticipates it will file its 2023 Form 10-K within the fifteen-day extension period provided by Rule 12b-25 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
