Item 8.01. Other Events
As previously reported, in July 2021, Siemens Government Technologies, Inc. and Siemens Industry, Inc. (collectively, “Siemens”) filed a lawsuit against Solaria Corporation and SolarCA, LLC, which are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Complete Solaria, Inc. (collectively, the “Subsidiaries”), in Fairfax Circuit Court (the “Court”) in Fairfax, Virginia in the case captioned Siemens Government Technologies, Inc. and Siemens Industry Inc. v. Solaria Corporation and SOLARCA, LLC (Case No. CL-2021-10556). In such lawsuit, Siemens alleged that the Subsidiaries breached express and implied warranties under a purchase order that Siemens placed with the Subsidiaries for a solar module system. Siemens claimed damages of approximately $6.9 million, inclusive of amounts of the Subsidiaries’ indemnity obligations to Siemens, plus attorneys’ fees.
As previously reported, in February 2024, the Court issued an order against the Subsidiaries which awards Siemens approximately $6.9 million, inclusive of amounts of the Subsidiaries’ indemnity obligations to Siemens, plus attorney’s fees, the amount of which would be determined at a later hearing. The Subsidiaries intend to appeal such judgment.
On June 17, 2024, the Court entered a final order (“Siemens v. Solaria Final Order”) which awards Siemens a total of $2,007,024.63 in attorneys’ fees and costs. The Subsidiaries intend to appeal such judgment.
The foregoing description of the Siemens v. Solaria Final Order does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Siemens v. Solaria Final Order, the form of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 (Siemens v. Solaria Final Order) and incorporated herein by reference.
