ITEM 1A.RISK FACTORS

We may not be able to complete an initial business combination with a U.S. target company since such initial business combination may be subject to U.S. foreign investment regulations and review by a U.S. government entity such as the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), or ultimately prohibited.

None of the members of the Company’s sponsor group is, is controlled by, or has substantial ties with a foreign person and therefore, we believe, will not be subject to U.S. foreign investment regulations and review by a U.S. government entity such as the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS). While we believe that the nature of the Company’s business should not make our initial business combination subject to U.S. foreign regulations or review by a U.S. government entity, it is possible that a business combination may be subject to a CFIUS review, the scope of which was expanded by the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act of 2018 (“FIRRMA”), to include certain non-passive, non-controlling investments in sensitive U.S. businesses and certain acquisitions of real estate even with no underlying U.S. business. FIRRMA, and subsequent implementing regulations that are now in force, also subjects certain categories of investments to mandatory filings. If our initial business combination falls within CFIUS’s jurisdiction, we may determine that we are required to make a mandatory filing or that we will submit a voluntary notice to CFIUS, or to proceed with the initial business combination without notifying CFIUS and risk CFIUS intervention, before or after closing the initial

business combination. CFIUS may decide to block or delay our initial business combination, impose conditions to mitigate national security concerns with respect to such initial business combination or order us to divest all or a portion of a U.S. business of the combined company without first obtaining CFIUS clearance, which may limit the attractiveness of or prevent us from pursuing certain initial business combination opportunities that we believe would otherwise be beneficial to us and our shareholders. As a result, the pool of potential targets with which we could complete an initial business combination may be limited and we may be adversely affected in terms of competing with other special purpose acquisition companies which do not have similar foreign ownership issues.

Moreover, the process of government review, whether by the CFIUS or otherwise, could be lengthy and we have limited time to complete our initial business combination. If we cannot complete our initial business combination by July 10, 2023 because the review process drags on beyond such timeframe or because our initial business combination is ultimately prohibited by CFIUS or another U.S. government entity, we may be required to liquidate. This will also cause you to lose the investment opportunity in a target company and the chance of realizing future gains on your investment through any price appreciation in the combined company.

If we are deemed to be an investment company, we may be required to institute burdensome compliance requirements and our activities may be restricted, which may make it difficult for us to complete our initial business combination.

On March 30, 2022, the SEC issued proposed rules relating to, among other matters, a safe harbor for SPACs from the definition of “investment company” under Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act, provided that they satisfy certain conditions that limit a SPAC’s duration, asset composition, business purpose and activities. The duration component of the proposed safe harbor rule would require a SPAC to file a report on Form 8-K with the SEC announcing that it has entered into an agreement with the target company (or companies) to engage in an initial business combination no later than 18 months after the effective date of the SPAC’s registration statement for its initial public offering. The SPAC would then be required to complete its initial business combination no later than 24 months after the effective date of its registration statement for its initial public offering. Although that proposed safe harbor rule has not yet been adopted, the SEC has indicated that are serious questions concerning the applicability of the Investment Company Act to a SPAC that does not complete its initial business combination within the proposed time frame set forth in the proposed safe harbor rule.

We entered into a definitive initial business combination agreement within 18 months after August 5, 2021 (the effective date of our IPO registration statement) and may not complete our initial business combination within 24 months of such date. As a result, it is possible that a claim could be made that we have been operating as an unregistered investment company.

The proposed safe harbor rule has not yet been adopted, and one or more elements of the proposed safe harbor rule may not be adopted or may be adopted in a revised form. Nevertheless, we intend to comply with the terms of the proposed safe harbor rule, including the duration component of that rule, when and if adopted. As a result, we do not believe that the SEC would deem us to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act. However, if we were deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, compliance with these additional regulatory burdens would require additional expenses for which we have not allotted funds and could increase the costs and time needed to complete a business combination or impair our ability to complete a business combination. If we have not completed our initial business combination within the required time period, our public stockholders may receive only approximately $10.15 per share, or less in certain circumstances, on the liquidation of our trust account and our warrants will expire worthless.

To mitigate the risk that we might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, we intend to liquidate the securities held in the trust account on or around August 5, 2023, and instead to hold the funds in the trust account in cash until the earlier of the consummation of our initial business combination or our liquidation. As a result, following the liquidation of securities in the trust account, we would likely receive minimal interest, if any, on the funds held in the trust account, which would reduce the dollar amount our public stockholders would receive upon any redemption or liquidation of the Company.

The funds in the trust account have, since the closing of our IPO, been held only in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in U.S. government treasury obligations and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act. However, to mitigate the risk of us being deemed to be an unregistered investment company (including under the subjective test of Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act) and thus subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act, we intend to liquidate the U.S. government treasury obligations or money market funds held in the trust account on or prior to August 5, 2023, and thereafter to hold all funds in the trust account in cash until the earlier of consummation of our initial business combination or liquidation of the Company. Following such liquidation, we would likely receive minimal interest, if any, on the funds held in the trust account. However, interest previously earned on the funds held in the trust account still may be released to us to pay our taxes, if any, and certain other expenses as permitted. As a result, any decision to liquidate the securities held

in the trust account and thereafter to hold all funds in the trust account in cash would reduce the dollar amount our public stockholders would receive upon any redemption or liquidation of the Company.

In addition, even prior to the 24-month anniversary (August 5, 2023) of the effective date of the IPO registration statement, we may be deemed to be an investment company. The longer that the funds in the trust account are held in short-term U.S. government treasury obligations or in money market funds invested exclusively in such securities, even prior to the 24-month anniversary, the greater the risk that we may be considered an unregistered investment company, in which case we may be required to liquidate the Company. Accordingly, we may determine, in our discretion, to liquidate the securities held in the trust account at any time, even prior to the 24-month anniversary, and instead hold all funds in the trust account in cash, which would further reduce the dollar amount our public stockholders would receive upon any redemption or liquidation of the Company.

ITEM 2.PROPERTIES

We currently maintain our executive offices at 888 San Clemente Drive, Newport Beach, CA 92660. Roth Capital Partners, LLC is making this space available to us free of charge. We consider our current office space adequate for our current operations.

ITEM 3.LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We may be subject to legal proceedings, investigations and claims incidental to the conduct of our business from time to time. We are not currently a party to any material litigation or other legal proceedings brought against us. We are also not aware of any legal proceeding, investigation or claim, or other legal exposure that has a more than remote possibility of having a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

ITEM 5.MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

Our units, common stock and warrants trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market, or Nasdaq, under the symbols “ROCGU,” “ROCG” and “ROCGW,” respectively. Our units began trading on Nasdaq on August 6, 2021, and the shares of common stock and warrants began trading on Nasdaq on August 31, 2022.

Holders of Record

As of March 29, 2023, there were 5,714,749 shares of common stock issued and outstanding held by 16 holders of record. The number of record holders was determined from the records of our transfer agent and does not include beneficial owners of shares of common stock whose shares are held in the names of various security brokers, dealers, and registered clearing agencies.

Dividends

We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock to date, and do not intend to pay cash dividends prior to the completion of an initial business combination. The payment of cash dividends in the future will be dependent upon our revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and general financial condition subsequent to completion of a business combination. The payment of any dividends subsequent to a business combination will be within the discretion of our board of directors at such time and subject to Delaware law. It is the present intention of our board of directors to retain all earnings, if any, for use in our business operations and, accordingly, our board of directors does not anticipate declaring any dividends in the foreseeable future. In addition, our board of directors is not currently contemplating and does not anticipate declaring any share dividends in the foreseeable future. Further, if we incur any indebtedness, our ability to declare dividends may be limited by restrictive covenants we may agree to in connection therewith.

Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans

Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers

On December 20, 2022, we held a special meeting of stockholders, at which the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, giving the Company the right to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination up to five (5) times, each such extension for an additional one (1) month period, from February 10, 2023 to July 10, 2023. In connection with the stockholders’ vote at the special meeting, 9,121,751 shares of the Company’s common stock were tendered for redemption at an redemption price of approximately $10.24 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $93.4 million. After the satisfaction of such redemptions, the balance in our Trust Account was approximately $24.4 million.

Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on February 13, 2019. We were formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities, which we refer to herein as our “Business Combination.” We intend to effectuate our Business Combination using cash derived from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering (as defined below) and the sale of the Private Units (as defined below), our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt.

The issuance of additional shares of our stock in a Business Combination:

● may significantly reduce the equity interest of our stockholders;

● may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our securities.

Similarly, if we issue debt securities or otherwise incur significant indebtedness, it could result in:

We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete a Business Combination will be successful.

Recent Developments

Merger Agreement

On December 5, 2022, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Roth IV Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and Tigo Energy, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Tigo Energy”). The transactions set forth in the Merger Agreement, including the Merger (defined below), will constitute a “Business Combination” as contemplated by the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Tigo Energy, with Tigo Energy surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). Upon the closing and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Company will change its name to “Tigo Energy, Inc.”

Table of Contents

Consideration

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, in consideration of the Merger, the base purchase price of $600,000,000 will be payable through converting each outstanding share of Tigo Energy’s common stock (after giving effect to the consummation of Tigo Energy’s warrant exercise and Tigo Energy’s preferred conversion) into the right to receive 60,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a deemed price of ten dollars ($10.00) per share, equal to (a) the exchange ratio, multiplied by (b) the number of shares of Tigo Energy’s common stock held by such holder as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, with fractional shares rounded down to the nearest whole share. In addition, at the closing, each outstanding Tigo Energy’s option will be assumed and converted into an option with respect to a number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock in the manner set forth in the Merger Agreement, and each outstanding Tigo Energy’s warrant (after giving effect to Tigo Energy’s warrant exercise) to purchase Tigo Energy’s common stock will be assumed and converted into a warrant with respect to a number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock in the manner set forth in the Merger Agreement.

The base purchase price is subject to a dollar-for-dollar upward or downward adjustment in the event Tigo Energy raises or obtains a commitment to raise capital prior to the closing, including capital raised through the conversion of debt securities (but specifically excluding capital raised through convertible notes or similar debt instruments convertible into or exercisable for capital stock or other equity securities of Tigo Energy to the extent such notes or similar debt instruments have not so converted). If Tigo Energy raises or obtains a commitment to raise capital based on a pre-money valuation at or exceeding $500,000,000, the base purchase price will increase by the aggregate amount of capital raised or committed to be raised by Tigo Energy through such capital raising transaction. Conversely, if the pre-money valuation is below $500,000,000, the base purchase price will decrease by an amount equal to the difference between $500,000,000 and the actual pre-money valuation.

Trust Extension

On December 20, 2022, we held a special meeting of stockholders, at which the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment (the “Extension Amendment”) to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination up to five (5) times, each such extension for an additional one (1) month period, from February 10, 2023 to July 10, 2023. In connection with the Extension Amendment, stockholders holding 9,121,751 shares of redeemable common stock exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account (as defined below) at a pro rata redemption price of approximately $10.24 per share.

Results of Operations

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities through December 31, 2022 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, which is described below, and subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our Business Combination, at the earliest. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses in connection with searching for, and completing, a Business Combination.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, we had net loss of $178,218, which was comprised of formation and operating costs of $1,429,105 and provision for income taxes of $395,019, offset by interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account of $1,645,906.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, we had net loss of $402,542, which was comprised of formation and operating costs of $415,858, offset by interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account of $13,316.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On August 10, 2021, we completed our initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) of 11,500,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the shares of common stock included in the Units sold, the “Public Shares”), which included the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 1,500,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $115,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we completed the sale of 461,500 units (the “Private Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit in a private placement to certain of the holders of the Company’s shares prior to the Initial Public Offering (the “Initial Stockholders”), generating gross proceeds of $4,615,000.

15

Table of Contents

Following the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Units, a total of $116,725,000 was placed in a trust account located in the United States (the “Trust Account”). We incurred $1,646,673 of transaction costs, consisting of $1,150,000 of underwriting fees and $496,673 of other offering costs.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, cash used in operating activities was $865,669. Net loss of $178,218 was affected by interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account of $1,645,906. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $958,455 of cash for operating activities.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, cash used in operating activities was $463,981. Net loss of $402,542 was affected by interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account of $13,316. Changes in operating assets and liabilities used $48,123 of cash for operating activities.

As of December 31, 2022, we had cash held in the Trust Account of $24,678,170 (including approximately $538,943 of interest income). Interest income on the balance in the Trust Account may be used by us to pay taxes. Through December 31, 2022, we have withdrawn $286,610 from the Trust Account to pay franchise taxes and $93,419,442 in connection with the redemption of common shares. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less income taxes payable), to complete our Business Combination. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.

As of December 31, 2022, we had cash of $88,107. We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination.

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Initial Stockholders and certain of our officers and directors (or their affiliates) may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If we complete a Business Combination, we would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to us. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. The Working Capital Loans would be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest.

If our estimate of the costs of undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our initial Business Combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our Public Shares upon completion of our Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination.

Going Concern

We will need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from the Initial Stockholders and our officers and directors or their affiliates. The Initial Stockholders and our officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet our working capital needs. Accordingly, we may not be able to obtain additional financing. If we are unable to raise additional capital, we may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses. We cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to us on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB’s”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” the Company has until July 10, 2023, to consummate a Business Combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination by this time. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date and an extension has not been effected by the Company and approved by the Company’s stockholders and effected by the Company, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Management has determined that the liquidity condition and the date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after July 10, 2023. The Company intends to complete a Business Combination before the mandatory liquidation date. The Company is within 12 months of its mandatory liquidation date as of the time of filing this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements

We had no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of December 31, 2022. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.

Contractual Obligations

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than as described below.

Pursuant to a business combination marketing agreement entered into on August 5, 2021, we engaged Roth Capital Partners, LLC (“Roth”) and Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC (“Craig-Hallum”), the underwriters in the Initial Public Offering, as advisors in connection with our Business Combination to assist us in the transaction structuring and negotiation of a definitive purchase agreement with respect to the Business Combination, hold meetings with our stockholders to discuss the Business Combination and the target’s attributes, introduce us to potential investors to purchase our securities in connection with the Business Combination, assist us in obtaining stockholder approval for the Business Combination, and assist us with financial analysis, presentations, press releases and filings related to the Business Combination. We agreed to pay Roth and Craig-Hallum a fee for such services upon the consummation of a Business Combination in an amount equal to, in the aggregate, 4.5% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, or $5,175,000. Roth and Craig-Hallum were not entitled to such fee unless we consummated a Business Combination. Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement on December 5, 2022, we entered into a letter agreement with Roth and Craig-Hallum to terminate the certain Business Combination Marketing Agreement (the “Letter Agreement”). Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, in exchange for services rendered in connection with the transactions contemplated in the Merger Agreement, Roth may be issued up to 300,000 Advisor Shares (shares of common stock, post-merger) equal to a fixed amount of 100,000 shares, regardless of the amount of equity raised in exchange for services rendered in connection with the transactions contemplated in the Merger Agreement, plus up to 200,000 shares based on the equity raised (“Variable Compensation Shares”). The number of Variable Compensation Shares will be equal to the product of (x) the quotient of equity raised divided by $50.0 million, multiplied by (y) 200,000. The Advisor Shares are issuable based on (a) the gross proceeds received from a capital raising transaction involving the equity securities of the Company and (b) the amount remaining in the Company’s trust account after giving effect to any redemptions (as further described in the Letter Agreement). On February 23, 2023, we entered into an amendment to the Letter Agreement. Pursuant to the amendment, the agreement was revised so that the term equity raised means the gross proceeds available to the post-Business Combination company immediately after the closing of the Business Combination consisting of (a) the gross proceeds received from a capital raising transaction involving the equity securities or equity-linked instruments of Tigo Energy; provided, however, that the $50.0 million of proceeds from the sale of convertible promissory notes by Tigo Energy to L1 Energy Capital Management S.a.r.l. shall be excluded from the calculation of equity raised; (b) the gross proceeds received from a capital raising transaction involving the equity securities of the Company; and (c) the amount remaining in the Company’s trust account after giving effect to any redemptions.

Pursuant to a service agreement entered on July 5, 2022, we engaged Roth and Craig-Hallum (together, the “financial advisors”) to provide services in connection with a proposed financing by the Company in connection with a business combination. In connection with this agreement the Company may be required to pay fees in connection with their services to the extent that the financing is executed. If during the term of the agreement the Company completes a financing of equity securities, convertible securities or debt of the Company, the Company has agreed to pay the financial advisors a fee in the amount of 4.0% of the gross proceeds raised. Each advisor would receive 50% of any placement agent fee, which will be paid upon the closing of the offering and business combination.

Table of Contents

The term of the agreement will run until the earlier of the date that the Company completes any Business Combination and otherwise liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account.

On December 5, 2022, we entered into the Merger Agreement with Merger Sub and Tigo Energy. The transactions set forth in the Merger Agreement, including the Merger, will constitute a “Business Combination” as contemplated by the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Tigo Energy, with Tigo Energy surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, in consideration of the Merger, the base purchase price of $600,000,000 will be payable through converting each outstanding share of Tigo Energy’s common stock (after giving effect to the consummation of Tigo Energy’s warrant exercise and Tigo Energy’s preferred conversion) into the right to receive 60,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a deemed price of ten dollars ($10.00) per share, equal to (a) the exchange ratio, multiplied by (b) the number of shares of Tigo Energy’s common stock held by such holder as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, with fractional shares rounded down to the nearest whole share. In addition, at the closing, each outstanding Tigo Energy’s option will be assumed and converted into an option with respect to a number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock in the manner set forth in the Merger Agreement, and each outstanding Tigo Energy’s warrant (after giving effect to Tigo Energy’s warrant exercise) to purchase Tigo Energy’s common stock will be assumed and converted into a warrant with respect to a number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock in the manner set forth in the Merger Agreement.

The base purchase price is subject to a dollar-for-dollar upward or downward adjustment in the event Tigo Energy raises or obtains a commitment to raise capital prior to the closing, including capital raised through the conversion of debt securities (but specifically excluding capital raised through convertible notes or similar debt instruments convertible into or exercisable for capital stock or other equity securities of Tigo Energy to the extent such notes or similar debt instruments have not so converted). If Tigo Energy raises or obtains a commitment to raise capital based on a pre-money valuation at or exceeding $500,000,000, the base purchase price will increase by the aggregate amount of capital raised or committed to be raised by Tigo Energy through such capital raising transaction. Conversely, if the pre-money valuation is below $500,000,000, the base purchase price will decrease by an amount equal to the difference between $500,000,000 and the actual pre-money valuation.

On December 8 and 9, 2022, we entered into non-redemption agreements with certain stockholders (the “Non-redeeming Stockholders”) owning, in the aggregate, 1,631,811 shares of the Company’s common stock, in which such stockholders agreed, among other things, not to redeem or exercise any right to redeem such public shares in connection with the Extension Amendment. Certain Initial Stockholders agreed to pay the Non-redeeming Stockholders that entered into such agreements $0.083 per share for the period from the stockholder approval of the Extension Amendment on December 20, 2022 through February 10, 2023 and subsequently $0.05 per share for each one-month extension in connection with such agreements. No additional funds were deposited into the Trust Account. On December 16, 2022, we paid the initial payment of $135,440 to the Non-redeeming Stockholders on behalf of such Initial Stockholders.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting policies:

Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

We account for our common stock subject to possible conversion in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Common stock subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. Our common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, common stock subject to possible redemption is presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of our balance sheets.

Net Loss Per Common Share

Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. We have two classes of common stock, which are referred to as redeemable common stock and non-redeemable common stock. Income and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of common stock. Remeasurement associated with the redeemable shares of common stock is excluded from loss per common share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

Recent Accounting Standards

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, “Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity” (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. ASU 2020-06 removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, and it also simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2021. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 9A.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officers and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2022. Based on this evaluation, our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, due solely to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting related to the Company’s control over the accounting for complex financial instruments and the review of accrued expenses. As a result, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-K present fairly in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the period presented.

Management intends to implement remediation steps to improve our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting. Specifically, we intend to expand and improve our review process for complex securities and related accounting standards. We have improved this process by enhancing access to accounting literature, identification of third-party professionals with

whom to consult regarding complex accounting applications and consideration of additional staff with the requisite experience and training to supplement existing accounting professionals. We also intend to improve our review process of expenses for accrual purposes in the preparation of our financial statements.

Management’s Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

As required by SEC rules and regulations implementing Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our consolidated financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with GAAP. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect errors or misstatements in our consolidated financial statements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting at December 31, 2022. In making these assessments, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013). Based on our assessments and those criteria, management determined that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022.

Management intends to implement remediation steps to improve our disclosure controls and procedures over financial reporting. Specifically, we intend to expand and improve our review process for complex securities and related accounting standards. We have improved this process by enhancing access to accounting literature, identification of third-party professionals with whom to consult regarding complex accounting applications and consideration of additional staff with the requisite experience and training to supplement existing accounting professionals. We also intend to improve our review process of expenses for accrual purposes in the preparation of our financial statements.

This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm due to our status as an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Number and Terms of Office of Officers and Directors

Our board of directors consists of six directors. In accordance with Nasdaq corporate governance requirements, we are not required to hold an annual meeting until one year after our first fiscal year end following our listing on Nasdaq. The term of office of each of directors will expire at our first annual meeting of stockholders.

Our officers are appointed by the board of directors and serve at the discretion of the board of directors, rather than for specific terms of office. Our board of directors is authorized to appoint persons to the offices set forth in our bylaws as it deems appropriate. Our bylaws provide that the board of directors at its first meeting after each annual meeting of stockholders shall choose a Chief Executive Officer, a Secretary and a Treasurer, none of whom need be a member of the board. The board of directors may also choose a Chairman from among the directors, one or more Executive Vice Presidents, one or more Vice Presidents, Assistant Secretaries and Assistant Treasurers. The board of directors may appoint such other officers and agents as it shall deem necessary, who shall hold their offices for such terms and shall exercise such powers and perform such duties as shall be determined from time to time by the board of directors. More than two offices may be held by the same person.

Director Independence

Nasdaq requires that a majority of our Board must be composed of “independent directors,” which is defined generally as a person other than an officer or employee of the company or its subsidiaries or any other individual having a relationship, which, in the opinion of the company’s board of directors would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

Molly Montgomery, Daniel M. Friedberg, Adam Rothstein, and Sam Chawla are our independent directors. Our independent directors will have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present. Any affiliated transactions will be on terms that our Board believes are no less favorable to us than could be obtained from independent parties.

Committees of the Board of Directors

The Board has three standing committees: an audit committee, a corporate governance and nominating committee, and a compensation committee. Subject to phase-in rules and a limited exception, Nasdaq rules and Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act require that the audit committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors, and Nasdaq rules require that the compensation committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors. Each committee has a charter, in the form previously filed with the SEC as exhibits to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended, adopted in connection with the consummation of the IPO.

Audit Committee

We have established an audit committee of the Board of Directors, which consists of Molly Montgomery, Daniel M. Friedberg, and Adam Rothstein, each of whom is an independent director under Nasdaq’s listing standards. Daniel M. Friedberg is the chairperson of the audit committee. The audit committee’s duties, which are specified in our Audit Committee Charter, include, but are not limited to:

● discussing with management major risk assessment and risk management policies;

● monitoring the independence of the independent auditor;

● reviewing and approving all related-party transactions;

● appointing or replacing the independent auditor;

Financial Experts on Audit Committee

Pursuant to Nasdaq rules, the audit committee will at all times be composed exclusively of independent directors who are able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including a company’s balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement.

In addition, we must certify to Nasdaq that the committee has, and will continue to have, at least one member who has past employment experience in finance or accounting, requisite professional certification in accounting, or other comparable experience or background that results in the individual’s financial sophistication. The Board of Directors has determined that Daniel M. Friedberg qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined under the rules and regulations of Nasdaq and the SEC.

Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee

We have established a corporate governance and nominating committee of the Board of Directors, which consists of Molly Montgomery, Daniel M. Friedberg, and Adam Rothstein, each of whom is an independent director under Nasdaq’s listing standards. Adam Rothstein is the chairperson of the corporate governance and nominating committee. The corporate governance and nominating committee is responsible for overseeing the selection of persons to be nominated to serve on our Board of Directors. The corporate governance and nominating committee considers persons identified by its members, management, stockholders, investment bankers and others.

Guidelines for Selecting Director Nominees

The guidelines for selecting nominees, which are specified in the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee Charter, generally provide that persons to be nominated:

The corporate governance and nominating committee will consider a number of qualifications relating to management and leadership experience, background and integrity and professionalism in evaluating a person’s candidacy for membership on the Board of Directors. The corporate governance and nominating committee may require certain skills or attributes, such as financial or accounting experience, to meet specific board needs that arise from time to time and will also consider the overall experience and makeup of its members to obtain a broad and diverse mix of board members. The corporate governance and nominating committee does not distinguish among nominees recommended by stockholders and other persons.

Compensation Committee

We have established a compensation committee of the Board of Directors, which consists of Molly Montgomery, Daniel M. Friedberg, and Adam Rothstein, each of whom is an independent director under Nasdaq’s listing standards. Molly Montgomery is the chairperson of the compensation committee. The compensation committee’s duties, which are specified in our Compensation Committee Charter, include, but are not limited to:

● reviewing our executive compensation policies and plans;

Table of Contents

Notwithstanding the foregoing, as indicated above, no compensation of any kind, including finders, consulting or other similar fees, will be paid to any of our existing stockholders, including our directors, or any of their respective affiliates, prior to, or for any services they render in order to effectuate, the consummation of a business combination. Accordingly, it is likely that prior to the consummation of an initial business combination, the compensation committee will only be responsible for the review and recommendation of any compensation arrangements to be entered into in connection with such initial business combination.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a code of conduct and ethics that applies to all of our executive officers, directors and employees. The code of ethics codifies the business and ethical principles that govern all aspects of our business.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, requires our executive officers, directors and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of our shares of common stock and other equity securities. These executive officers, directors, and greater than 10% beneficial owners are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms filed by such reporting persons.

Based solely on our review of such forms furnished to us and written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that all filing requirements applicable to our executive officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners were filed in a timely manner.

ITEM 11.EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Employment Agreements

We have not entered into any employment agreements with our executive officers and have not made any agreements to provide benefits upon termination of employment.

Executive Officers and Director Compensation

No executive officer has received any cash compensation for services rendered to us. No compensation of any kind, including finders, consulting or other similar fees, will be paid to any of our existing stockholders, including our directors, or any of their respective affiliates, prior to, or for any services they render in order to effectuate, the consummation of a business combination. However, such individuals will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. There is no limit on the amount of these out-of-pocket expenses and there will be no review of the reasonableness of the expenses by anyone other than our board of directors and audit committee, which includes persons who may seek reimbursement, or a court of competent jurisdiction if such reimbursement is challenged.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

None of our officers currently serves, or in the past year has served, as a member of the compensation committee of any entity that has one or more officers serving on our board of directors.

ITEM 13.CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

Founder Shares

In February 2019, CR Financial Holdings, Inc., an entity affiliated with Roth Capital Partners, LLC, purchased an aggregate of 100 shares from us for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. On June 29, 2020, we effected a dividend of 43,125 shares of common stock for each share outstanding resulting in there being an aggregate of 4,312,500 shares outstanding. In July and August 2020, CHLM Sponsor LLC, an entity affiliated with Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC, and certain of our directors, officers and affiliates of our management team purchased from CR Financial Holdings, Inc. an aggregate of 3,022,825 shares for an aggregate purchase price of $17,523.61. On July 1, 2021, certain of our initial stockholders sold an aggregate of 1,490,874 shares back to us for an aggregate purchase price of $8,642.75. Of those shares, 1,437,500 shares were cancelled and the remaining 53,374 shares were purchased by certain of our officers from us for an aggregate purchase price of $464.11, resulting in there being 2,875,000 shares outstanding. On July 1, 2021, certain of our directors purchased from CR Financial Holdings, Inc. an aggregate of 113,860 shares for an aggregate purchase price of $990.10.

All of the insider shares issued and outstanding prior to our initial public offering have been placed in escrow with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as escrow agent, until (1) with respect to 50% of the insider shares, the earlier of six months after the date of the consummation of our initial business combination and the date on which the closing price of our common stock equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalizations, reorganizations and recapitalizations) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing after our initial business combination and (2) with respect to the remaining 50% of the insider shares, six months after the date of the consummation of our initial business combination, or earlier, in either case, if, subsequent to our initial business combination, we consummate a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of our stockholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other property.

Related Party Loans

On March 3, 2021, we issued an unsecured promissory note to CR Financial Holdings, Inc., an entity affiliated with Roth Capital Partners, LLC, pursuant to which we could borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $200,000. The promissory note was non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of the consummation of the IPO or the date on which we determined not to proceed with the IPO. The outstanding balance under the promissory note of $200,000 was repaid at the closing of the IPO on August 10, 2021.

At the closing of the IPO, certain of the Company’s stockholders prior to the IPO purchased from the Company an aggregate of 461,500 Private Units at $10.00 per Private Unit (for a total purchase price of $4,615,000).

On February 14, 2023, we issued an unsecured promissory note to CR Financial Holdings, Inc., pursuant to which we borrowed an aggregate principal amount of $200,000. The promissory note is non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of (i) the date on which we consummate a business combination with target businesses, or (ii) the date we liquidate if a business combination is not consummated. In the event that we do not consummate a business combination, the promissory note will be repaid only from amounts remaining outside of the trust account, if any.

Working Capital Loans

If needed to finance transaction costs in connection with searching for a target business or consummating an intended initial business combination, our initial stockholders, officers, directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. In the event that the initial business combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the trust account to repay such loaned amounts, but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Such loans would be evidenced by promissory notes. The notes would be paid upon consummation of our initial business combination, without interest.

29

Table of Contents

If we do not complete a business combination, the loans will only be repaid with funds not held in the trust account, to the extent available. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had no loans outstanding, including any loans from its initial stockholders, officers, directors or their affiliates.

Business Combination Marketing Agreement

On August 5, 2021, we entered into a Business Combination Marketing Agreement pursuant to which we engaged Roth and Craig-Hallum as advisors in connection with our initial business combination. We agreed to pay Roth and Craig-Hallum a fee for such services upon the consummation of our initial business combination in an amount equal to, in the aggregate, 4.5% of the gross proceeds of our initial public offering, including any proceeds from the full or partial exercise of the over-allotment option.

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, we entered into a letter agreement with Tigo Energy, Roth and Craig-Hallum to terminate the Business Combination Marketing Agreement (the “Letter Agreement”). Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, in exchange for services rendered in connection with the transactions contemplated in the Merger Agreement, Roth may be issued up to 300,000 Advisor Shares (shares of common stock, post-merger) equal to a fixed amount of 100,000 shares, regardless of the amount of equity raised in exchange for services rendered in connection with the transactions contemplated in the Merger Agreement, plus up to 200,000 shares based on the equity raised (“Variable Compensation Shares”). The number of Variable Compensation Shares will be equal to the product of (x) the quotient of equity raised divided by $50.0 million, multiplied by (y) 200,000. The Advisor Shares are issuable based on (a) the gross proceeds received from a capital raising transaction involving the equity securities of Tigo Energy and (b) the amount remaining in the Company’s trust account after giving effect to any redemptions (as further described in the Letter Agreement). On February 23, 2023, we entered into an amendment to the Letter Agreement. Pursuant to the amendment, the agreement was revised so that the term equity raised means the gross proceeds available to the post-Business Combination company immediately after the closing of the Business Combination consisting of (a) the gross proceeds received from a capital raising transaction involving the equity securities or equity-linked instruments of Tigo Energy; provided, however, that the $50.0 million of proceeds from the sale of convertible promissory notes by Tigo Energy to L1 Energy Capital Management S.a.r.l. shall be excluded from the calculation of equity raised; (b) the gross proceeds received from a capital raising transaction involving the equity securities of the Company; and (c) the amount remaining in the Company’s trust account after giving effect to any redemptions.

Byron Roth, Gordon Roth and Aaron Gurewitz are affiliated with Roth, and John Lipman and Rick Hartfiel are affiliated with Craig-Hallum, in addition to being officers or directors (or both, in the case of Byron Roth and John Lipman), as applicable, of the Company. While no direct compensation arrangements regarding such individuals have been entered into regarding such fees, these executives may benefit indirectly from any such amounts payable to their respective organizations in respect of marketing fees, costs and expenses incurred by Roth and Craig-Hallum in connection with the identification, review and negotiation and approval of the initial business combination.

Related Party Policy

Our Code of Ethics requires us to avoid, wherever possible, all related party transactions that could result in actual or potential conflicts of interests, except under guidelines approved by the Board of Directors (or the audit committee). Related-party transactions are defined as transactions in which (1) the aggregate amount involved will or may be expected to exceed $120,000 in any calendar year, (2) we or any of our subsidiaries is a participant, and (3) any (a) executive officer, director or nominee for election as a director, (b) greater than 5% beneficial owner of our common stock, or (c) immediate family member, of the persons referred to in clauses (a) and (b), has or will have a direct or indirect material interest (other than solely as a result of being a director or a less than 10% beneficial owner of another entity). A conflict of interest situation can arise when a person takes actions or has interests that may make it difficult to perform his or her work objectively and effectively. Conflicts of interest may also arise if a person, or a member of his or her family, receives personal benefits as a result of his or her position.

Our audit committee, pursuant to its written charter, is responsible for reviewing and approving related-party transactions to the extent we enter into such transactions. All ongoing and future transactions between us and any of our officers and directors or their respective affiliates will be on terms believed by us to be no less favorable to us than are available from unaffiliated third parties. Such transactions will require prior approval by our audit committee and a majority of our disinterested independent directors, or the members of our Board who do not have an interest in the transaction, in either case who had access, at our expense, to our attorneys or independent legal counsel. We will not enter into any such transaction unless our audit committee and a majority of our disinterested independent directors determine that the terms of such transaction are no less favorable to us than those that would be available to us with respect to such a transaction from unaffiliated third parties. Additionally, we require each of our directors and executive officers to complete a directors’ and officers’ questionnaire that elicits information about related party transactions.

30

Table of Contents

These procedures are intended to determine whether any such related party transaction impairs the independence of a director or presents a conflict of interest on the part of a director, employee or officer.

To further minimize conflicts of interest, we have agreed not to consummate our initial business combination with an entity that is affiliated with any of our officers, directors or initial stockholders, unless we have obtained (i) an opinion from an independent investment banking firm, or other firm that commonly provides valuation opinions, that the business combination is fair to our stockholders from a financial point of view and (ii) the approval of a majority of our disinterested and independent directors (if we have any at that time). Furthermore, in no event will any of our initial stockholders, officers, directors or their respective affiliates be paid any finder’s fee, consulting fee or other similar compensation prior to, or for any services they render in order to effectuate, the consummation of our initial business combination.

Director Independence

Nasdaq listing standards require that a majority of our board of directors be independent. For a description of the director independence, see “Part III, Item 10 – Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance.”

ITEM 14.PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

Public Accounting Fees

The following is a summary of fees paid or to be paid to Marcum LLP, or Marcum, our independent registered public accounting firm, for services rendered.

The aggregate fees billed by Marcum for professional services rendered for the audit of our annual consolidated financial statements, review of the financial information included in our Forms 10-Q for the respective periods and other required filings with the SEC for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 totaled $151,304 and $81,855, respectively. The above amounts include interim procedures and audit fees, as well as attendance at audit committee meetings.

Audit-Related Fees. Audit-related services consist of fees billed for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to performance of the audit or review of our consolidated financial statements and are not reported under “Audit Fees.” These services include attest services that are not required by statute or regulation and consultations concerning financial accounting and reporting standards. We did not pay Marcum for consultations concerning financial accounting and reporting standards for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

Tax Fees. We did not pay Marcum for tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

All Other Fees. We did not pay Marcum for any other products and services for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

Pre-approval Policies and Procedures

Our audit committee was formed upon the consummation of our Initial Public Offering. As a result, the audit committee did not pre-approve all of the foregoing services, although any services rendered prior to the formation of our audit committee were approved by our board of directors. Since the formation of our audit committee, and on a going-forward basis, the audit committee has and will pre-approve all auditing services and permitted non-audit services to be performed for us by our auditors, including the fees and terms thereof (subject to the de minimis exceptions for non-audit services described in the Exchange Act which are approved by the audit committee prior to the completion of the audit).

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of

Roth CH Acquisition IV Co.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Roth CH Acquisition IV Co. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ (deficit) equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Explanatory Paragraph - Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company’s business plan is dependent on the completion of business combination and the Company has a liquidation date of July 10, 2023, which is considered to be within one year of the issuance date of the financial statements. The Company has a significant working capital deficiency, has incurred significant losses and needs to raise additional funds to meet its obligations and sustain its operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (the “PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2022

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND LIQUIDITY

Roth CH Acquisition IV Co. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on February 13, 2019. The Company is a blank check company formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (the “Business Combination”).

The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had not commenced any operations. All the Company’s activities through December 31, 2022 related to its formation and the initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”), which is described below, and subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account (as defined below).

The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on August 5, 2021. On August 10, 2021, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 11,500,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the shares of common stock included in the Units sold, the “Public Shares”), which included the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 1,500,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $115,000,000, which is described in Note 4.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 461,500 units (the “Private Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit in a private placement to certain of the Company’s initial stockholders, generating gross proceeds of $4,615,000, which is described in Note 5.

Transaction costs amounted to $1,646,673, consisting of $1,150,000 of underwriting fees, and $496,673 of other offering costs.

Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on August 10, 2021, an amount of $116,725,000 ($10.15 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Units was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”), located in the United States and held in cash items or invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 185 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by the Company meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account, as described below.

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. The Company must complete a Business Combination having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding taxes payable on income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into an initial Business Combination. The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

The Company will provide its holders of the outstanding Public Shares (the “public stockholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The public stockholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially $10.15 per Public Share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations). There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants.

The Company will proceed with a Business Combination If the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 either immediately prior to or upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks stockholder approval, a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a stockholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC containing substantially the same information as would be included in a proxy statement prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, stockholder approval of the transaction is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business or legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the holders of the Company’s shares prior to the Initial Public Offering (the “Initial Stockholders”) have agreed (a) to vote their Founder Shares (as defined in Note 6), Private Shares (as defined in Note 5) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of approving a Business Combination, to the extent permitted by law, and (b) not to redeem any shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a Business Combination or sell any shares to the Company in a tender offer in connection with a Business Combination. Additionally, each public stockholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares, irrespective of how or whether they vote on the proposed transaction.

The Initial Stockholders have agreed (a) to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares, Private Shares and Public Shares held by them in connection with the completion of a Business Combination and (b) not to propose an amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation that would affect a public stockholders’ ability to convert or sell their shares to the Company in connection with a Business Combination or affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination, unless the Company provides the public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment.

The Company will have until July 10, 2023 to complete a Business Combination (the “Combination Period”). If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company shall (i) cease all operations except for the purposes of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter redeem 100% of the Public Shares for cash for a redemption price per share as described below (which redemption will completely extinguish such holders’ rights as stockholders, including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to approval of the Company’s then stockholders and subject to the requirements of the DGCL, including the adoption of a resolution by the Board of Directors pursuant to Section 275(a) of the DGCL finding the dissolution of the Company advisable and the provision of such notices as are required by said Section 275(a) of the DGCL, dissolve and liquidate the balance of the Company’s net assets to its remaining stockholders, as part of the Company’s plan of dissolution and liquidation, subject (in the case of (ii) and (iii) above) to the Company’s obligations under the DGCL to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law. In such event, the per share redemption price shall be equal to a pro rata share of the Trust Account plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company for its working capital requirements or necessary to pay its taxes divided by the total number of Public Shares then outstanding.

The Initial Stockholders have agreed to waive their liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares and Private Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Initial Stockholders acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, such Public Shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than the Initial Public Offering price per Unit.

In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, certain of the Initial Stockholders have agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (i) $10.15 per Public Share or (ii) such lesser amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, except as to any claims by a third party who executed a valid and enforceable agreement with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they may have in or to any monies held in the Trust Account and except as to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Initial Stockholders will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Initial Stockholders will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (except the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

Merger Agreement

On December 5, 2022, the Company, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Roth IV Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and Tigo Energy, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Tigo Energy”). The transactions set forth in the Merger Agreement, including the Merger (defined below), will constitute a “Business Combination” as contemplated by the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Tigo Energy, with Tigo Energy surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). Upon the closing and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Company will change its name to “Tigo Energy, Inc.”

Consideration

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, in consideration of the Merger, the base purchase price of $600,000,000 will be payable through converting each outstanding share of Tigo Energy’s common stock (after giving effect to the consummation of Tigo Energy’s warrant exercise and Tigo Energy’s preferred conversion) into the right to receive 60,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a deemed price of ten dollars ($10.00) per share, equal to (a) the exchange ratio, multiplied by (b) the number of shares of Tigo Energy’s common stock held by such holder as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, with fractional shares rounded down to the nearest whole share. In addition, at the closing, each outstanding Tigo Energy’s option will be assumed and converted into an option with respect to a number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock in the manner set forth in the Merger Agreement, and each outstanding Tigo Energy’s warrant (after giving effect to Tigo Energy’s warrant exercise) to purchase Tigo Energy’s common stock will be assumed and converted into a warrant with respect to a number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock in the manner set forth in the Merger Agreement.

The base purchase price is subject to a dollar-for-dollar upward or downward adjustment in the event Tigo Energy raises or obtains a commitment to raise capital prior to the closing, including capital raised through the conversion of debt securities (but specifically excluding capital raised through convertible notes or similar debt instruments convertible into or exercisable for capital stock or other equity securities of Tigo Energy to the extent such notes or similar debt instruments have not so converted). If Tigo Energy raises or obtains a commitment to raise capital based on a pre-money valuation at or exceeding $500,000,000, the base purchase price will increase by the aggregate amount of capital raised or committed to be raised by Tigo Energy through such capital raising transaction. Conversely, if the pre-money valuation is below $500,000,000, the base purchase price will decrease by an amount equal to the difference between $500,000,000 and the actual pre-money valuation.

Trust Extension

On December 20, 2022, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders, at which the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment (the “Extension Amendment”) to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination up to five (5) times, each such extension for an additional one (1) month period, from February 10, 2023 to July 10, 2023. In connection with the Extension Amendment, stockholders holding 9,121,751 shares of redeemable common stock exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account at a pro rata redemption price of approximately $10.24 per share, and a total of $93,419,442 was released from the Trust Account.

Liquidity and Going Concern

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had $88,107 in its operating bank account and adjusted working capital deficit of $290,839 which excludes franchise and income taxes payable as such amounts can be paid from the interest earned in the Trust Account.

Until the consummation of a Business Combination, the Company will be using the funds not held in the Trust Account for performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, and structuring, negotiating, and consummating the Business Combination.

The Company has a significant working capital deficiency and has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans. The Company will need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from the Initial Stockholders and the Company’s officers and directors or their affiliates. The Initial Stockholders and the Company’s officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet the Company’s working capital needs. Accordingly, the Company may not be able to obtain additional financing. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. If the Company is unable to complete the Business Combination because it does not have sufficient funds available, the Company will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account.

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB’s”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” the Company has until July 10, 2023 to consummate a Business Combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination by this time. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date and an extension has not been effected by the Company and approved by the Company’s stockholders, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Management has determined that the liquidity condition and the date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after July 10, 2023. The Company intends to complete a Business Combination before the mandatory liquidation date. The Company is within 12 months of its mandatory liquidation date as of the time of filing this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Risks and Uncertainties

Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that COVID-19 could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and/or its search for a target company for a Business Combination, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Inflation Reduction Act of 2022

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases of stock by publicly traded U.S. domestic corporations and certain U.S. domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations occurring on or after January 1, 2023. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its shareholders from which shares are repurchased. The amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. The U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax.

Any redemption or other repurchase that occurs after December 31, 2022, in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise, may be subject to the excise tax. Whether and to what extent the Company would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise would depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the Business Combination, extension or otherwise, (ii) the structure of a Business Combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any “PIPE” or other equity issuances in connection with a Business Combination (or otherwise issued not in connection with a Business Combination but issued within the same taxable year of a Business Combination) and (iv) the content of regulations and other guidance from the Treasury. In addition, because the excise tax would be payable by the Company and not by the redeeming holder, the mechanics of any required payment of the excise tax have not been determined. The foregoing could cause a reduction in the cash available on hand to complete a Business Combination and in the Company’s ability to complete a Business Combination.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(l) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s consolidated financial statements

with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.

Cash and Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account

At December 31, 2022, all of the assets held in the Trust Account were held in cash. At December 31, 2021, substantially all of the assets held in the Trust Account were held in money market funds which are invested primarily in U.S. Treasury securities. The Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are presented on the balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these investments are included in interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account in the accompanying statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information.

Offering Costs

Offering costs consist of underwriting, legal, accounting and other expenses incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs are allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs amounted to $1,646,673, which were initially charged to temporary equity and then accreted to common stock subject to redemption upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering.

Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Shares of common stock subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption right that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events.

In connection with the stockholders vote at the Special Meeting of Stockholders held by the Company on December 20, 2022, 9,121,751 shares of common stock were tendered for redemption.

Accordingly, at December 31, 2022 and 2021, 2,378,249 and 11,500,000 shares of common stock subject to possible redemption are presented at $10.23 and $10.15 redemption value, respectively, as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ (deficit) equity section of the Company’s balance sheets.

The Company recognizes changes In redemption value Immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable common stock to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount value. The change in the carrying value of redeemable common stock resulted in a charge against additional paid-in capital.
