Item 11. Executive Compensation

Executive Officer and Director Compensation

Narrative Discussion of Executive Compensation1

This section explains our executive compensation program for our named executive officers (“NEOs”) and the decisions made with respect to 2023 regarding the compensation of each of our NEOs who served in 2023. This section also describes the process of the Company’s Compensation Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) and Board of Directors for making compensation decisions, as well as the rationale for specific decisions related to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. Refer to the following individuals in this report as our NEOs:

Name	Position
Christian Fong	Former President and Chief Executive Officer
Eric Tech	Former President and Chief Executive Officer
Sarah Weber Wells	Chief Financial Officer
Jonathan M. Norling	Chief Legal Officer
Donald Klein	Former Chief Financial Officer
Stacey Constas	Former General Counsel

How Our NEOs Were Selected

Our NEOs have been determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, which provides that our NEOs consist of (i) the two persons who served as our Chief Executive Officer during 2023 (Mr. Tech and Mr. Fong), (ii) the two other most highly compensated executive officers of the Company based on their total compensation during 2023 who were executive officers as of December 31, 2023 (Mrs. Weber Wells and Mr. Norling) and (iii) two other

persons who would have been NEOs but for the fact that the person was not serving as an executive officer of the Company as of December 31, 2023 (Mr. Klein and Ms. Constas). As a result of the changes in our management team during 2023 and 2024 as described in the next paragraph, Mrs. Weber Wells and Mr. Norling are the only NEOs who are still executive officers as of the date of this report.

Mr. Fong was appointed as President on September 9, 2022 and became Chief Executive Officer on February 1, 2023, replacing Mr. Tech who served as President and Chief Executive Officer through February 1, 2023. Effective April 12, 2024, Mr. Fong was replaced by Christopher Hayes as President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Klein, who had been serving as Chief Financial Officer, departed the Company on May 19, 2023. Ms. Constas, who had been serving as General Counsel, departed the Company on July 21, 2023.

Executive Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

Our executive compensation philosophy is driven by the following guiding principles that underpin the critical connections between performance, long-term value creation, talent management, compensation governance and our cultural values:

•Competitively Positioned: Target compensation should be competitive with that being offered to individuals in comparable roles at other companies with which the Company compete for talent to ensure that we employ the best people to lead our success.

•Performance-Driven and Stockholder-Aligned: A meaningful portion of total compensation should be variable and linked to the achievement of specific short- and long-term performance objectives and designed to drive stockholder value creation.

•Responsibly Governed: Decisions about compensation should be guided by appropriate governance standards and rigorous processes that encourage prudent decision-making.

Elements of Pay: Total Direct Compensation

Our executive compensation philosophy is supported by the following principal elements of pay:

Pay Element	How It's Paid	Purpose
Base Salary	Cash (Fixed)	Provide a competitive base salary rate relative to similar positions in the market and enable the Company to attract and retain critical executive talent, reward overall performance by our executive officers and provides a degree of financial stability for each of our executive officers.
Annual Incentives	Cash (Variable)	Reward executives for delivering on annual strategic objectives that we believe contribute to the creation of stockholder value and help us attract and retain critical executive talent.
Long-Term Incentives	Equity (Variable)	Provide incentives for executives to execute on longer-term financial goals that we believe drive the creation of stockholder value and help us attract and retain executive talent.

Base Salary

Base salary represents annual fixed compensation and is a standard element of compensation necessary to attract and retain executive leadership talent. Base salary also rewards overall performance and provides a degree of financial stability for our NEOs. In making base salary decisions, the Compensation Committee considers the CEO’s recommendations, as well as each NEO’s position and level of responsibility within the Company. The Compensation Committee (and the Board with respect to the CEO) takes into account factors such as competitive market data as well as individual performance, experience, tenure, internal equity, and employee potential. Among each NEO, the relative weighting of these factors was not assigned to all or any individual, but the Committee did make subjective determinations that the amounts of base salary were appropriate considering all of these factors collectively.

Annual Incentives

The 2023 Annual Incentive Plan provided our NEOs the opportunity to earn a performance-based annual cash bonus. Actual payouts depend on the achievement of a combination of pre-determined organizational and individual performance objectives. Target annual bonus opportunities are expressed as a percentage of base salary and were established by the NEO’s level of responsibility and their ability to impact overall results. These targets were established based on recommendations from our independent consultants. Target award opportunities for 2023 were as follows:

8

Name	2023 Base Salary		Bonus Target (% of Base Salary)		Bonus at Target ($)
Christian Fong	$	650,000	100	%	$	650,000
Sarah Weber Wells	$	300,000	40	%	$	120,000
Jonathan M. Norling	$	300,000	50	%	$	150,000
Donald Klein	$	385,000	50	%	$	192,500
Stacey Constas	$	310,000	40	%	$	124,000

2023 Organizational Performance Metrics. In 2023, the Compensation Committee identified revenue, gross margin and EBITDA as the organizational performance metrics in the Annual Incentive Plan because the Company believes it is important to focus our NEOs on top line growth and profitability. Revenue ensures we are delivering an appropriate level of top-line growth, while gross margin keeps us focused on efficient delivery and execution, and EBITDA focuses our NEOs on cash generated by the Company’s operations.

Annual Incentive Plan Structure. The Annual Incentive Plan provides each of our NEOs with a bonus opportunity that can range from 0% to 150% of target award amounts. The plan as contemplated in 2023 was structured as follows:

Plan Goal Component	Organizational and Individual Plan Weighting		Weighting Within Metric Group		Payout
					Min*		Target		Max
Organizational Performance Metrics	60	%
Revenue			25	%	75	%	100	%	150	%
Gross Margin			25	%	75	%	100	%	150	%
EBITDA			50	%	75	%	100	%	150	%
Individual Performance Metrics	40	%
Discrete objectives established for each NEO			100	%	75	%	100	%	150	%

*Minimum payouts are subject to the achievement of a pre-determined “threshold” metric — such as revenue, gross margin and EBITDA, that was set at 75% of the relevant organization or individual target.

Annual Incentive Plan Results. In determining bonus target achievement, the Committee measured results against goals, and additionally considered other events that occurred during the fiscal year, for which NEO leadership was critical. Additionally, certain NEOs received guaranteed bonus payments pursuant to the Executive Severance Policy, discussed below.

Long-Term Equity Incentives

In 2023, the Committee determined that all long-term equity incentives would be granted in the form of restricted stock units (“RSUs”), with a four year vesting schedule of twenty-five percent (25%) per year on the anniversary date of grant. The Committee believes that RSUs best align the interests of award recipients with those of our stockholders based on recommendations from our independent consultant. The long term nature of the RSUs creates performance and retention incentive for recipients.

The Company continues to evolve as a business and recognizes that the structure of our equity program must evolve with the transition of our business strategy. The Compensation Committee is currently evaluating its approach to long-term equity incentive compensation and is committed to putting forth a program that aligns the interests of our executives and stockholders each year.

The 2023 awards for each NEO were as follows:

Name	RSUs	Grant Date Fair Value(1) ($)
Christian Fong(2)	—	—
Eric Tech	25,352	$109,267
Sarah Weber Wells	60,750	$268,515
Jonathan M. Norling	64,625	$285,643

Donald Klein	—	—
Stacey Constas	—	—

1.Individual award amounts reflect the grant date fair values of such awards computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, excluding the effect of estimated forfeitures.

2.Upon separation date as of April 12, 2024, Mr. Fong received vested shares of 147,709 at market price of the Company’s common stock on April 12, 2024 of $3.35 for a grant date fair value of $494,825.

Executive Compensation Decision-Making Process

The Role of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee oversees the executive compensation program for our NEOs. The Compensation Committee is comprised of independent, non-employee members of the Board. The Compensation Committee works closely with its independent consultant and management to examine the effectiveness of the Company’s executive compensation program throughout the year. Details of the Compensation Committee’s authority and responsibilities are specified in its charter, which may be accessed at our website at https://investors.sprucepower.com/governance/documents-and-charters/default.aspx. The Compensation Committee makes all final compensation and equity award decisions regarding our NEOs, except for the CEO, whose compensation is determined by the independent members of the Board, based upon recommendations of the Compensation Committee.

The Role of Management. Members of our management team attend regular meetings where executive compensation, Company and individual performance, and competitive compensation levels and practices are discussed and evaluated; however, they are not present in the board room, nor do they participate in discussions about their own pay. Only the Compensation Committee members are allowed to vote on decisions regarding NEO compensation. The CEO reviews his recommendations pertaining to other executives (non-NEO) pay with the Compensation Committee providing transparency and oversight. Decisions on non-NEO pay are made by the CEO. The CEO does not participate in the deliberations of the Compensation Committee regarding his own compensation. Independent members of the Board make all final determinations regarding CEO compensation.

The Role of the Independent Consultant. The Compensation Committee engages an independent compensation consultant to provide expertise on competitive pay practices, program design, and an objective assessment of any inherent risks of any programs. Pursuant to authority granted to it under its charter, the Compensation Committee has hired Pearl Meyer & Partners, LLC (“Pearl Meyer”) and Merdian Compensation Partners, LLC (“Merdian”) as its independent consultants. Pearl Meyer and Merdian both report directly to the Compensation Committee and does not provide any additional services to management. The Compensation Committee has conducted an independence assessment of Pearl Meyer and Merdian in accordance with SEC rules.

The Role of Peer Group Companies. The Compensation Committee strives to set a competitive level of total compensation for each NEO as compared with executive officers in similar positions at peer companies. For purposes of setting 2023 compensation levels, the Compensation Committee did not reference a specific peer group or conduct formal benchmarking, but subjectively took into account publicly available data of similarly sized and situated companies and industry specific survey data. This market data was not the sole determinant in setting pay levels for the NEOs. Actual pay levels can be above or below the targeted levels depending on the Compensation Committee’s subjective evaluation of factors such as experience, individual or company performance, tenure, employee potential, unique skills, criticality of the position to the Company and other factors. In general, the Compensation Committee desires to balance general internal and external equity and reserve the right to use discretion to deviate when necessary to recruit employees and/or retain the right talent.

Employment Agreements and Severance Agreements

Executive Severance Policy. Effective May 11, 2022, the Company adopted an Executive Severance Policy (the “ESP”) which provides severance benefits to management and other key employees designated as participants by the Board of Directors. The ESP provides for severance benefits following a “Qualifying Termination” and enhanced severance benefits if there is a Qualifying Termination 90 days before or 12 months after a change of control of the Company. In September 2022, the Company Board of Directors determined that the Spruce Power acquisition qualified as a change in control of the Company, due to the nature of the transaction under which all executive management was scheduled to transition, and the pivoting of the strategic and operational focus of the Company away from its legacy business.

On April 12, 2024, the Company created a letter agreement (the “Fong Severance Letter”) to Mr. Fong confirming the severance he would be entitled to receive under the ESP following the Spruce Power acquisition. Pursuant to the Fong Severance Letter, following the termination of his employment as of April 12, 2024, and receipt by the Company of a separation agreement which included a customary release of claims, Mr. Fong will be receiving severance benefits equal to eighteen months of base salary; payment of his 2023 annual performance bonus at 100% of target and payment of his 2024 annual performance bonus pro-rata based on the number of days Mr. Fong was employed in calendar year 2024; eighteen months of COBRA premiums; and immediate vesting of unvested, time-based equity awards that had been granted prior to the date of employment separation, along with an immediate ability to exercise any outstanding stock options.

Mr. Don Klein served as Chief Financial Officer of the Company since April 2022 and resigned May 2023. Severance benefits were granted to Mr. Klein following the termination of his employment in accordance with the provision under the Company’s Executive Severance Policy, discussed above. As a result, Mr. Klein is entitled to, and has received the following severance, after receipt by the Company of a separation agreement which included a customary release of claims: (a) lump sum payment of base salary for 18 months, (b) the cost of COBRA continuation coverage for all health plans and

12

programs for such 18 months periods, as applicable, (c) a pro rata portion of his annual performance bonus, (d) immediate vesting of all outstanding options and RSUs.

Ms. Stacey Constas served as General Counsel of the Company since May 2022 and resigned July 2023. Severance benefits were granted to Ms. Constas following the termination of her employment in accordance with the provision under the Company’s Executive Severance Policy, discussed above. As a result, Ms. Constas is entitled to, and has received the following severance, after receipt by the Company of a separation agreement which included a customary release of claims: (a) lump sum payment of base salary for 18 months, (b) the cost of COBRA continuation coverage for all health plans and programs for such 18 months periods, as applicable, (c) a pro rata portion of his annual performance bonus, (d) immediate vesting of all outstanding options and RSUs.

Director Compensation

No member of our Board of Directors who is also a member of management receives cash, equity or other non-equity compensation for service on our Board of Directors. In 2022 the Company approved the following Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy that is designed to align compensation with our business objectives and the creation of stockholder value, while enabling us to attract, retain, incentivize and reward directors who contribute to our long-term success.

Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy

Annual Equity Award

Under the non-employee director compensation policy, each non-employee director of the Company will receive a $150,000 annual equity award, such award comprised solely of RSUs. The chair of our Board of Directors will receive an additional $20,000 annual equity award, such grant comprised solely of restricted stock units. The awards will be granted on the date of each annual meeting of stockholders at which the director is elected to our Board of Directors or continues to serve as a director. Each grant will vest in full on the first anniversary of the grant date.

Initial Equity Award

Upon initial election to our Board of Directors, each new non-employee director of the Company will receive an initial equity award equal to 150% of the annual equity award, such award comprising of restricted stock units. The initial equity award will vest in equal installments on the first, second and third anniversary of the date of the grant.

Annual Cash Retainer

Each non-employee director of the Company will receive an annual cash retainer of $50,000 for his or her service on our Board of Directors, and the chair of our board will receive an additional $20,000 cash retainer. Each member of the audit, compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees will receive an annual cash retainer of $10,000, $7,500 and $5,000, respectively. In addition, the chair of each of the audit, compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees will receive an additional cash retainer of $20,000, $15,000 and $10,000, respectively. The annual cash retainers, as applicable, will be payable in quarterly installments, in arrears, at the end of each calendar quarter for the duration of such non-employee director’s service on our Board of Directors or committee.

OTHER PRACTICES, POLICIES & GUIDELINES

Anti-Hedging & Pledging Policies

Our insider trading policy prohibits our employees, including officers, and directors from pledging or engaging in hedging or similar transactions in our securities, including but not limited to prepaid variable forwards, equity swaps, collars, exchange funds, puts, calls and short sales.

Other Benefits and Perquisites

All of our NEOs are eligible to participate in our employee benefit plans, including medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans, in each case on the same basis as all of our other employees. The Company pays premiums for the life, disability, accidental death, and dismemberment insurance for all employees, including our NEOs. The Company generally does not provide perquisites or personal benefits.

401(k) Plan and Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Company maintains a 401(k) plan that provides eligible employees with an opportunity to save for retirement on a tax advantaged basis. Eligible employees are able to defer eligible compensation up to certain Code limits, which are updated annually. The Company provides for safe harbor matching contributions equal to 100% on the first 3% of an employee’s eligible earnings deferred and an additional 50% on the next 2% of an employee’s eligible earnings deferred. Employee elective deferrals and safe harbor matching contributions are 100% vested at all times. The 401(k) plan is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code, with the related trust intended to be tax exempt under Section 501(a) of the Code. As a tax-qualified retirement plan, contributions to the 401(k) plan are deductible by us when made, and contributions and earnings on those amounts are not generally taxable to the employees until withdrawn or distributed from the 401(k) plan.

Impact of Tax and Accounting

The Company regularly considers the various tax and accounting implications of our compensation plans. When determining the amount of long-term incentives and equity grants to executives and employees, the compensation costs associated with the grants are reviewed, as required by FASB ASC Topic 718.

While considering tax deductibility as only one of several considerations in determining compensation, the Audit Committee believes that the tax deduction limitation should not compromise its ability to structure compensation programs that provide benefits to the Company that outweigh the potential benefit of a tax deduction and, therefore, may approve compensation that is not deductible for tax purposes.

Insider Trading, Anti-Hedging and Anti-Pledging

Our Board of Directors has adopted an Insider Trading Policy governing stock trading and prohibiting insider trading, which applies to all of our directors, officers and employees. The policy contains various restrictions on transactions in our stock by our directors, officers and employees and requires all such trades to be pre-cleared and may only occur during permitted periods (based on, for example, the timing of the release of our quarterly or annual financial results, or during periods when the director, officer or employee is not acting on non-public material information). The Company also considers it improper and inappropriate for our directors, officers and employees to engage in short-term or speculative transactions in our securities. Our policy has prohibitions on short-term trading, short sales, publicly traded options, hedging transactions and margin accounts and pledges. No named executive officer has entered into any such prohibited transaction.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions

Our Audit Committee Charter requires all future transactions between us and any director, executive officer, holder of 5% or more of any class of our capital stock or any member of the immediate family of, or entities affiliated with, any of them, or any other related persons, as defined in Item 404 of Regulation S-K, or their affiliates, in which the amount involved is equal to or greater than $120,000, be approved in advance by our Audit Committee. Any request for such a transaction must first be presented to our Audit Committee for review, consideration and approval. In approving or rejecting any such proposal, our Audit Committee is to consider all available information deemed relevant by the Audit Committee, including, but not limited to, the extent of the related person’s interest in the transaction, and whether the transaction is on terms no less favorable to us than terms the Company could have generally obtained from an unaffiliated third party under the same or similar circumstances.

Related Party Transactions

Our Board of Directors adopted a written related person transactions policy that sets forth policies and procedures regarding the identification, review, consideration and oversight of related person transactions. For purposes of this policy only, a related person transaction is a transaction, arrangement or relationship (or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships) in which the Company or any of its subsidiaries, are participants involving an amount that exceeds $120,000, in which any related person has a material interest.

Transactions involving compensation for services provided to us or any of our subsidiaries as an employee, consultant or director will not be considered related person transactions under this policy. A related person is any executive officer, director, nominee to become a director or a holder of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities (including our common stock), including any of their immediate family members and affiliates, including entities owned or controlled by such persons.

Under the related person transaction policy, the related person in question or, in the case of transactions with a holder of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities, an officer with knowledge of a proposed transaction, will be required to present information regarding the proposed related person transaction to our Audit Committee (or to another independent body of our Board of Directors) for review. To identify related person transactions in advance, the Company expects to rely on information supplied by our executive officers, directors and certain significant stockholders. In considering related person transactions, our Audit Committee is expected to take into account the relevant available facts and circumstances, which may include, but are not limited to:

•the risks, costs, and benefits to us;

•the impact on a director’s independence in the event the related person is a director, immediate family member of a director or an entity with which a director is affiliated;

•the terms of the transaction;

•the availability of other sources for comparable services or products; and

•the terms available to or from, as the case may be, unrelated third parties.

16

Our Audit Committee will approve only those transactions that it determines are fair to us and in our best interests. See related party transaction discussed in Item 7 in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
