Sunnova Announces Strategic Action to Facilitate Value-Maximizing Sale Process
HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sunnova Energy International Inc. ('Sunnova' or the 'Company') (NYSE: NOVA) today announced that on June 8, 2025, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries voluntarily filed petitions for chapter 11 relief in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas ('the Court') to facilitate a sale process for certain of the Company's assets and business operations. The Company intends to continue operating its business in the ordinary course throughout the sale process. In order to maximize value for all stakeholders, Sunnova will conduct a court-supervised sale process to elicit the highest or otherwise best bid for the Company's assets. Sunnova expects to complete the marketing and sale process, which will provide interested parties the opportunity to submit competing bids for the Company's assets, in approximately 45 days. 'Today's actions mark a critical step towards securing a value-maximizing outcome for Sunnova's stakeholders,' said Paul Mathews, Chief Executive Officer of Sunnova. 'Throughout this process, maintaining continuity of service for our customers is our top priority as we work to secure a long-term solution for our business operations under new ownership. I'm incredibly grateful to our dedicated Sunnova team for their hard work and commitment. We have built an innovative power provider, and I continue to believe deeply in the future of our industry and the promise of residential solar and storage.' Sunnova intends to continue to monitor, manage, and service solar and storage systems in the ordinary course during the sale process. The Company plans to communicate directly with customers regarding any material changes that may impact the service and support provided by Sunnova. Entry into the Asset Purchase Agreement and Settlement Agreement with ATLAS SP Partners and Solar Power System Purchase Agreement with Lennar Homes, LLC Sunnova announced that it has entered into an asset purchase agreement (the 'Asset Purchase Agreement') between Sunnova Energy Corporation ('SEC'), Sunnova TEP Developer, LLC ('TEP Developer'), Sunnova TEP Holdings, LLC ('TEP Holdings'), and Sunnova TEP Holdings Subsidiary, LLC ('TEPH Subsidiary') under which certain solar systems, and rights and customer agreements related to them, will be sold to TEPH Subsidiary. The purchase price of $15.0 million will be paid from proceeds borrowed under TEP Holdings' existing warehouse credit facility. ATLAS SP Partners ('ATLAS'), Sunnova, and certain of its affiliates also entered into a settlement agreement (the 'Settlement Agreement'). Upon approval of the Asset Purchase Agreement and Settlement Agreement by the Court, Sunnova will facilitate ATLAS' direct negotiations with certain dealers and installers that have worked with Sunnova in the past with the goal of completing certain in-process solar systems. The Asset Purchase Agreement and Settlement Agreement will provide Sunnova with additional liquidity to support its operations and the payment of employee obligations during the chapter 11 process. The Company has also entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the 'Solar Power System Purchase Agreement') with Lennar Homes, LLC. Upon Court approval, Lennar will acquire certain assets related to Sunnova's New Homes business unit for aggregate consideration of approximately $16.0 million. Tax Equity Partnerships and Asset Backed Securities Remain Intact The chapter 11 filing and the various transactions in connection with it will not have any material impact on Sunnova's closed tax equity partnership affiliates or asset-backed securities, as those investment structures are bankruptcy remote. The Company intends to continue to prioritize servicing and performance for the benefit of its asset-backed security holders and tax equity partners. Operations During Chapter 11 Sunnova intends to use the funds from the Asset Purchase Agreement and Solar Power System Purchase Agreement, upon approval by the Court, as well as cash-on-hand, to support core business operations during the initial period of the chapter 11 sale process as the Company works to finalize ongoing initiatives to secure additional capital. Among other customary relief, the Court granted interim approval on a number of customary 'First Day Motions' to facilitate a smooth transition into chapter 11, including requests for approval to continue to pay employee wages and benefits, maintain customer programs and service, and honor post-petition obligations to its commercial partners, providing the Company the ability to continue certain business operations during the chapter 11 process. The Company has also secured interim relief to continue to uphold and honor loan agreements, lease agreements, power purchase agreements, service agreements, managed solar renewable energy certificates and demand response agreements, warranties, and production guarantees throughout the chapter 11 process. This filing follows the voluntary chapter 11 petition filed by TEP Developer, a subsidiary of the Company, on June 1, 2025. Sunnova has sought relief to jointly administer these chapter 11 cases.

Scotiabank ramps up return-to-office mandate to four days a week
Scotiabank is changing its return-to-office policy to require some employees to work in-person four days a week. In an internal memo shared last week, Scotiabank told staff the new mandate will apply starting in September. Teams that have limited office space will be expected to be present three or more days, with the goal of eventually having all employees based at the head office on Bay and King streets in four or more days each week, according to the memo seen by Bloomberg. And some employees won't be affected by the changes at all due to the nature of their work, with those on the global client-experience centre and Canadian banking collections teams seeing no change in their work arrangements. 'We know having our teams working together in-person has many benefits — greater collaboration, higher engagement, more career development opportunities, and a stronger culture and sense of belonging — and we are already seeing the positive impact this is having across the bank as we focus on executing on our strategy,' Scotiabank spokesperson Katie Raskina wrote in an emailed statement to the Star. 'We will continue to build on this impact as we bring our teams on-site more often, with the goal of reaching four days on-site across the bank over time.' One of the Big Six banks said it would tighten lending criteria for self-employed borrowers in Canada's Big Six banks, which have the largest presence in Toronto's financial district among other industries, have been leading the pack in the return-to-office movement . Since the COVID-19 pandemic, they started having workers back in the office as early as February 2022 — ahead of most companies. In May, it was reported that RBC has also asked its staff to work from the office four days a week, beginning in the fall. 'RBC is a relationship-driven bank, and in-person, human connection is core to our winning culture,' spokesperson Jeff Lanthier said in statement Monday. 'We have important commitments to our clients and bold goals for the future. We are confident that prioritizing working together in-person is a vital component in setting us up for continued, long-term success. Starting in September, we expect our employees around the world to be in the office, with flexibility to work remotely one day per week.' The Star contacted TD, CIBC, BMO and National Bank for their most recent return-to-office policies. National Bank spokesperson Alexandre Guay said each team has a different mandate depending on their needs — some employees work entirely in-person, while others follow a hybrid model. A CIBC spokesperson provided a similar statement. TD and BMO did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Last summer, the Star reported that Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow had met with several bank CEOs to discuss ways to get Torontonians back in the office at least four days a week, if not five, 'to make sure our financial district is vibrant.' She also said the banks had been calling on City Hall to 'set a good example and get all your workers back in.' With files from Bloomberg.
