November 13, 2024 at 06:00 AM EST

Munich, Nov. 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The solar technology company Sono Group N.V. (OTCQB: SEVCF) (hereafter referred to as “Sono” or the “Company”, parent company to Sono Motors GmbH or “Sono Motors”) today announced the successful conclusion of its Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) held on November 7, 2024, during which shareholders voted in favor of all key initiatives designed to advance the Company’s planned uplisting to the Nasdaq Capital Market. Each proposal received 100% support from the shares present and entitled to vote, marking a significant step towards enhancing liquidity, transparency, and shareholder value.

Key decisions approved by shareholders included:

1. Appointment of Owen May to the Supervisory Board – With over three decades of experience in financial advisory, mergers & acquisitions, and strategic business development, Mr. May, CEO and Founder of MD Global Partners, LLC, brings a wealth of expertise to Sono’s Supervisory Board. Renowned for his capital market insights and extensive network across institutional investors and corporate clients, Mr. May has a track record of driving growth through innovative financial strategies and high-value transactions.
Mr. May’s experience spans complex financial disciplines, including reverse mergers, IPOs, and cross-border transactions across the U.S., Europe, and Israel. Additionally, his service on various boards and his academic credentials—including an MBA from Duke University—underscore his commitment to integrity and excellence in corporate governance. His expertise is expected to play a pivotal role as Sono pursues its Nasdaq uplisting.

2. Amendments to the Articles of Association – To align with Nasdaq’s listing rules, the Articles of Association were updated to allow for a 33% quorum in shareholder votes, enabling compliance with Nasdaq’s regulatory framework.

3. Authorization for Preferred Shares – In a move to strengthen the Company’s balance sheet, shareholders approved the issuance of preferred shares, allowing the conversion of all outstanding debentures into equity. This conversion will reduce debt, enhance equity, and position the Company for long-term financial health.

George O’Leary, Managing Director, CEO and CFO of Sono stated: “With Mr. May joining the Supervisory Board and key decisions secured, Sono stands well-positioned to deliver on its commitment: enhancing shareholder value through the planned Nasdaq uplisting.”
