Sunworks Announces Streamlining of Board of Directors

ROSEVILLE, Calif., Dec. 19, 2017 -- Sunworks, Inc. (Nasdaq:SUNW), a premier provider of high performance solar power solutions for agriculture, commercial, industrial (ACI), public works and residential markets, today announced the Company has reduced the size of its Board of Directors from eight to five as part of a strategic effort to streamline board operations.

As part of this effort the following directors have resigned from the Board of Directors:

• Abe Emard, who has served as a director since February 2016 and will continue in an operational and sales leadership role with the Company
• Brigham Tomco, who has served as a director since April 2015
• John Van Slooten, who has served as a director since December 2014

As a result, of these changes the Sunworks Board of Directors is now comprised of five directors, three of whom are independent.

Jim Nelson, Sunworks’ Chairman, commented, “We appreciate the contributions Abe, Brigham and John made to the Company and the Board of Directors during their tenure. Abe remains a key member of our operations and sales team, and we wish Brigham and John all the best in their future endeavors.”

Chuck Cargile, Sunworks’ Chief Executive Officer said, “Our Board, with eight directors, was too large for a company our size, and reducing the number of executives who serve on our board is the first step in a plan to streamline corporate oversight and better align the expertise of our board with our current business strategy. I join Jim and the remainder of the board in thanking Abe, Brigham and John for their dedication and professionalism, and appreciate their willingness to step aside to facilitate a smaller and less expensive Board of Directors. We remain committed to creating sustainable shareholder value, and believe this transition is a key step toward achieving that important goal.”
