Strategic acquisition would expand Otovo’s U.S. footprint with coast-to-coast operations

HOUSTON: Otovo ASA (Euronext Oslo Børs: OTOVO) today announced it has signed a non-binding letter of intent to acquire SunSystem Technology, LLC ("SST"), a premier U.S. provider of operations and maintenance (“O&M”) services for distributed generation assets.

• Transaction expected to comprise of (a) $0.77m cash consideration at closing and (b) a three year earn-out up to $1.3m based upon net income targets, payable in cash and Otovo shares
• SST had revenue of ~$14m in 2025, implying a maximum EV/Revenue multiple of 0.15x, assuming full earn-out
• SST is a national leader in distributed generation O&M with over 10 years of operating history, serving residential portfolios, commercial system owners and asset managers across 14 U.S. states, directly complementing Otovo's existing U.S. operations
• Synergies to be realized with SST's field operations being integrated onto the Endurance™ AI platform, automating intake, dispatch, scheduling and supply chain

The LOI is subject to satisfactory completion of due diligence, necessary corporate resolutions, and the parties entering into definitive agreements, in addition to customary closing conditions.

"SST is our seventh transaction since the December 2025 merger and follows the playbook we committed to: accretive acquisitions of high-quality service businesses, integrating them onto the Endurance™ platform, and building the scale. SST's expertise and coast-to-coast footprint is a strategic asset, and we look forward to welcoming the SST team to Otovo," said William J. (John) Berger, CEO of Otovo.
