Business Wire

09-07-2025

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sunnova Energy International Inc. ('Sunnova' or the 'Company') today announced that it has entered into a stalking horse asset purchase agreement (the 'ServiceCo Stalking Horse APA') with Omnidian Inc. ('Omnidian'), a leading provider of comprehensive protection and performance plans for residential and commercial solar and energy-storage assets. Pursuant to the ServiceCo Stalking Horse APA, Omnidian would purchase the Company's leading residential solar servicing and operations & maintenance platform ('ServiceCo') for total consideration of $7 million in cash and the assumption of certain liabilities.
Pursuant to the ServiceCo Stalking Horse APA, Omnidian would assume responsibility for customer service and system management obligations for a significant portion of Sunnova's in-service customers. The ServiceCo Stalking Horse APA represents a baseline value for ServiceCo assets and is part of the Company's broader strategy to maximize shareholder value through a sale transaction (or series of sale transactions) pursuant to section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code. Sunnova preserves the option to pursue the ServiceCo transaction on a standalone basis or as part of a combined transaction with a sale of its solar generation and storage portfolio ('AssetCo'), which includes approximately three gigawatts of power generation and is supported by embedded asset-backed securities financing.
The ServiceCo Stalking Horse APA follows Sunnova's previously announced stalking horse bid from an ad hoc group of the Company's unsecured corporate noteholders for both the ServiceCo and AssetCo assets (the 'WholeCo Stalking Horse APA'). Sunnova will continue to solicit bids through its court-supervised marketing process in order to obtain the highest or otherwise best offer for its assets, with a bid deadline on July 21, 2025. The ServiceCo Stalking Horse APA does not replace the WholeCo Stalking Horse APA and both agreements provide a foundation for an efficient and value-maximizing sale process. The designation of the stalking horse bidders is currently set to be heard before the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the 'Court') on July 11, 2025.
