1. Business and Organization

Capstone Green Energy Corporation ("Capstone" or the "Company") is a provider of customized microgrid solutions, on-site resilient Energy-as-a-Service (EaaS) solutions, and on-site energy technology systems focused on helping customers around the globe meet their environmental, energy savings, and resiliency goals. These solutions include stationary distributed power generation applications and distribution networks for critical power supply and cogeneration systems, such as combined heat and power ("CHP"), integrated combined heat and power ("ICHP"), and combined cooling, heat and power ("CCHP"). The Energy Conversion Products business line is driven by the Company's industry-leading, highly clean and efficient, low-emission, resilient microturbine energy systems, which offer scalable solutions in addition to a broad range of customer-tailored solutions. Through the EaaS business line, the Company offers build, own, operate and maintain ("BOOM") solutions as well as energy rental solutions utilizing its microturbine energy. The Company's emerging business line is Hydrogen Energy Solutions. Through the Company's Hydrogen Energy Solutions business line, it offers customers the ability to run on hydrogen blended fuel source. Because these are still emerging offerings, Hydrogen Energy Solutions revenue has been immaterial to date. The Company was organized in 1988 and has been commercially producing its microturbine generators since 1998.

2. Basis of Presentation, Significant Accounting Policies and Going Concern

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("generally accepted accounting principles" or "GAAP") for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2023 was derived from audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for such periods. Results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for any other interim period or for the full year. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 filed with the Securities Exchange Commission ("SEC") on June 13, 2024. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this "Form 10-Q") refers to the Company's fiscal years ending March 31 as its "Fiscal" years.

Basis for ConsolidationThese Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company, Capstone Turbine International, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiary, after elimination of inter-company transactions.

Reclassification Certain items in prior financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation and provide comparability but have no effect on the reported results of operations. The Company reclassified certain revenue stream and cost of goods sold on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 to conform to the presentation of the current period. The reclassification has not materially impacted the Company's financial statements and did not result in a change in total revenue, net income or cash flows from operations for the periods presented.

Significant Accounting PoliciesExcept as described below, there have been no changes to the Company's significant accounting policies described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal Year 2023 filed with the SEC, that have had a material impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Segment ReportingThe Company determines its reporting units in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic No. 280, Segment Reporting("ASC 280"). The Company evaluates a reporting segment by first identifying its operating segments under ASC 280 operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by the chief

7

Table of Contents

operating decision maker ("CODM") to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company defines its CODM to be its Chief Financial Officer. The Company is considered to be a singlereporting segment. The business activities of this reporting segment are the development, manufacture and sale of turbine generator sets and their related parts and service.

Going ConcernIn connection with the preparation of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three months ended June 30, 2023, management evaluated whether there were conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raised substantial doubt about the Company's ability to meet its obligations as they become due over the next twelve months from the date of the issuance of the financial statements. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $5.8 million, and $51.0 million in borrowings were outstanding under the Notes. The Company incurred a net loss of $5.7 million and used cash from operating activities of $4.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Subsequent to June 30, 2023, the Company reduced its outstanding debt via proceedings in U.S. Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Court. On September 28, 2023, the Company filed for a prepackaged financial restructuring with its Senior Lender, Goldman Sachs under the U.S. Chapter 11 Bankruptcy laws (the "Plan"), as further discussed in Note 17-Subsequent Events in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company emerged from Bankruptcy on December 7, 2023 (the "Effective Date") and effected a financial and organizational restructuring. However, given its current cash position, lack of liquidity, limits to accessing capital and debt funding options and current economic and market risks, there is substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and its ability to meet its financial obligations as they become due over the next twelve months from the date of issuance of the financial statements as of, and for the period ended June 30, 2023.

Trade Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Loss On April 1, 2023, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, Topic No. 326, Credit Loss, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASC 326"), which replaces the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology referred to as the current expected credit loss ("CECL") The CECL model applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including accounts receivable. Under the CECL model, the Company identifies allowances for credit losses based on future expected losses when accounts receivable are created rather than when losses are probable.

The Company applies a historical loss rate based on historic write-offs by aging categories. The historical loss rate is adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future losses, as necessary. Additionally, the allowance for credit loss calculation includes subjective adjustments for qualitative riskfactors that could likely cause estimated credit losses to differ from historical experience. The factors include assessments of various economic conditions, significant events that occurred, geographic location, size and credit ratings of the customers. The Company may also record a specific reserve for individual accounts when the Company becomes aware of specific customer circumstances, such as in the case of a bankruptcy filing or deterioration in the customer's operating results or financial position. Accounts deemed uncollectible are written off against the allowance for credit loss. Refer to Note 4- Customer Concentrations and Accounts Receivable in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for details of the allowance for credit loss recorded.

3. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326). The amendments in this ASU provide guidance for estimating credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables, by introducing an approach based on expected losses. The expected loss approach will require entities to incorporate considerations of historical information, current information and reasonable forecasts. With certain exceptions, the transition to the new guidance will be through a cumulative effect adjustment to opening accumulated deficit as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. On April 1, 2023, the Company adopted Topic 326. The standard required entities to record a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. The adoption did not have a material impact on its financial statements and no adjustment was made to retained earnings.

Not Yet Adopted

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting: Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic 280). This update applies to all public entities that are required to report segment information

8

Table of Contents

in accordance with Topic 280. The amendments in this update revise reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments in this update do not change how a public entity identifies its operating segments, aggregates those operating segments, or applies the quantitative thresholds to determine its reportable segments. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The standard should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The adoption of this guidance will impact the Company's disclosures only and will not have a material impact on its financial statements. The Company is in the process of assessing the effect adoption will have on its annual consolidated financial statement disclosure.

​

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes: Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740), which requires that an entity, on an annual basis, disclose additional income tax information, primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The amendment in the ASU is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact that the adoption of this ASU will have on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, which is expected to result in enhanced disclosures.

​

4. Customer Concentrations and Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivables are presented on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, net of estimated credit losses. The carrying amounts of trade accounts receivable represent the maximum credit risk exposure of these assets. On a quarterly basis, in accordance with ASC 326, the Company evaluates the collectability of outstanding accounts receivable balances to determine an allowance for credit loss that reflects its best estimate of the lifetime expected credit losses. The Company evaluated its current estimate of expected credit losses and determined that there was no significant change. It took into account certain economic factors in calculating the risk factors used to determine the CECL historical loss rate for each aging bucket. Additionally, the Company analyzed the risk of our receivables using geography and other customer circumstances to determine its allowance for credit risk. Changes in the CECL allowance for accounts receivable are as follows (in thousands):

​

​

Horizon Power Systems ("Horizon") and E-Finity Distributed Generation ("E-Finity"), two of the Company's domestic distributors and Optimal Group Australia Pty Ltd ("Optimal"), one of the Company's international distributors, accounted for 15%, 10% and 13% of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. Cal Microturbine and E-Finity Distributed Generation, LLC ("E-Finity"), two of the Company's domestic distributors accounted for 24% and 11%, of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.

Additionally, Horizon and Cal Microturbine accounted for 12% and 10% of net accounts receivable as of June 30, 2023, respectively. E-Finity accounted for 12% of net accounts receivable as of March 31, 2023. The Company did not have a credit loss expense during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Stock Plans

2000 and 2017 Equity Incentive Plans

In June 2017, the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") adopted the Capstone Green Energy Corporation 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2017 Plan"), which was approved by the stockholders at the Company's 2017 annual meeting of stockholders on August 31, 2017 (the "2017 Annual Meeting"). The 2017 Plan initially provided for awards of up to 300,000 shares of Common Stock. The 2017 Plan is administered by the Compensation and Human Capital Committee designated by the Board (the "Compensation Committee"). The Compensation Committee's authority includes determining the number of incentive awards and vesting provisions. On June 5, 2018, the Company's Board adopted an amendment to the 2017 Plan to increase the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under the 2017 Plan by 300,000 shares of Common Stock. The amendment of the 2017 Plan was approved by the Company's stockholders at the 2018 annual meeting of stockholders on August 30, 2018. Since this time, the Company's stockholders have approved amendments to increase the aggregate number of shares authorized for issuance under the 2017 Plan by an additional 2,200,000 shares of Common Stock, including, most recently, on June 7, 2022. The Company's Board adopted Amendment No. 6 (the "Plan Amendment") to the 2017 Plan on June 7, 2022 to increase the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under the 2017 Plan by 600,000 shares of Common Stock. The Plan amendment was approved by the Company's stockholders at the 2022 annual meeting of stockholders on September 12, 2022.

As of June 30, 2023, there were 309,588 shares available for future grants under the 2017 Plan.

See Note 17-Subsequent Events in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the Company's adoption of the 2023 Equity Incentive Plan.

Restricted Stock Units and Performance Restricted Stock Units

The Company issued restricted stock units under the Company's 2000 Equity Incentive Plan, as well as issued (and may in the future issue) restricted stock units under the 2017 Plan to employees, non-employee directors and consultants. The restricted stock units are valued based on the closing price of the Company's Common Stock on the date of issuance, and compensation cost is recorded on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The restricted stock units issued to employees vest over a period of two, threeor four years. For restricted stock units with two-year vesting, 100% vests on the second-year anniversary of the grant date. For restricted stock units with three-year vesting, one-third vest annually beginning oneyear after the issuance date. For restricted stock units with four-year vesting, one-fourth vest annually beginning oneyear after the issuance date. The restricted stock units issued to non-employee directors vest one

year after the issuance date. The following table summarizes restricted stock unit and performance restricted stock unit ("PRSU") activity during the three months ended June 30, 2023:

​

The following table provides additional information on restricted stock units and performance restricted stock units:

​

​

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company granted 433,844 RSU with a three-year vesting period. As of June 30, 2023, there was approximately $1.8 million of total compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock units that was expected to be recognized as expense over a weighted average period of 2.3 years, however upon the Effective Date of the bankruptcy Plan, the expense was no longer recognized by the Company. See Note 17-Subsequent Events in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the Company's bankruptcy.

The Company's PRSU activity is included in the above restricted stock unit tables. The PRSU program has a three-year performance measurement period. The performance measurement occurs in the third year (for a three-year grant) following the grant date. The program is intended to have overlapping performance measurement periods (e.g., a new three-year cycle begins each year on April 1), subject to Compensation Committee approval. The overall performance at the end of the three-year period will be defined as the average of the yearly goals to determine the payout. Overall performance and payout at the end of the three-year period will be defined as the average of the three annual goals achievement. At the end of each performance measurement period, the Compensation Committee will determine the achievement against the performance objectives.

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company granted 245,216 PRSUs with a three-year performance measurement and the criteria measured by the Company's aftermarket sales absorption. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company granted 72,412 PRSUs with a three-year performance measurement and the criteria measured by the Company's cash flow from operations and aftermarket sales absorption.

The weighted average per share grant date fair value of PRSUs granted during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, was $1.20 and $3.80, respectively. Based on the Company's assessment as of June 30, 2023, the Company will not meet the threshold of the performance measurements, and as a result, no compensation expense was recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. The PRSU awards for each participant were cancelled on the Effective Date in accordance with the Plan. See Note 17-Subsequent Events in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the Plan.

Stockholder Rights Plan

On May 6, 2019, the Board declared a dividend of one right (a "New Right") for each of the Company's issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. The dividend was paid to the stockholders of record at the close of business on May 16, 2019 (the "Record Date"). Each New Right entitles the registered holder, subject to the terms of the NOL Rights Agreement (as defined below), to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth of a share of the Company's Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock") at a price of $5.22 (the "Exercise Price"), subject to certain adjustments. The description and terms of the New Rights are set forth in the Rights Agreement dated as of May 6, 2019

12

Table of Contents

(the "NOL Rights Agreement") between the Company and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., as Rights Agent (the "Rights Agent").

The NOL Rights Agreement replaced the Company's Rights Agreement, dated May 6, 2016, by and between the Company and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., as successor-in-interest to Computershare Inc., as rights agent (the "Original Rights Agreement"). The Original Rights Agreement, and the rights thereunder to purchase fractional shares of Preferred Stock, expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 6, 2019 and the NOL Rights Agreement was entered into immediately thereafter.

The purpose of the NOL Rights Agreement is to diminish the risk that the Company's ability to use its net operating losses and certain other tax assets (collectively, "Tax Benefits") to reduce potential future federal income tax obligations would become subject to limitations by reason of the Company's experiencing an "ownership change," as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Tax Code"). A company generally experiences such an ownership change if the percentage of its stock owned by its "5-percent shareholders," as defined in Section 382 of the Tax Code, increases by more than 50 percentage points over a rolling three-year period. The NOL Rights Agreement is designed to reduce the likelihood that the Company will experience an ownership change under Section 382 of the Tax Code by (i) discouraging any person or group from becoming a 4.9% or greater shareholder and (ii) discouraging any existing 4.9% or greater shareholder from acquiring additional shares of the Company's stock.

The New Rights will not be exercisable until the earlier to occur of (i) the close of business on the tenth business day after a public announcement or filing that a person has, or group of affiliated or associated persons have, become an "Acquiring Person," which is defined as a person or group of affiliated or associated persons who, at any time after the date of the NOL Rights Agreement, have acquired, or obtained the right to acquire, beneficial ownership of 4.9% or more of the Company's outstanding shares of Common Stock, subject to certain exceptions or (ii) the close of business on the tenth business day after the commencement of, or announcement of an intention to commence, a tender offer or exchange offer the consummation of which would result in any person becoming an Acquiring Person (the earlier of such dates being called the "Distribution Date"). Certain synthetic interests in securities created by derivative positions, whether or not such interests are considered to be ownership of the underlying Common Stock or are reportable for purposes of Regulation 13D of the Exchange Act, are treated as beneficial ownership of the number of shares of Common Stock equivalent to the economic exposure created by the derivative position, to the extent actual shares of the Common Stock are directly or indirectly held by counterparties to the derivatives contracts.

With respect to certificates representing shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the Record Date, until the Distribution Date, the New Rights will be evidenced by such certificates for shares of Common Stock registered in the names of the holders thereof, and not by separate Rights Certificates, as described further below. With respect to book entry shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the Record Date, until the Distribution Date, the New Rights will be evidenced by the balances indicated in the book entry account system of the transfer agent for the Common Stock. Until the earlier of the Distribution Date and the Expiration Date, as described below, the transfer of any shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date will also constitute the transfer of the New Rights associated with such shares of Common Stock. As soon as practicable after the Distribution Date, separate certificates evidencing the New Rights ("Right Certificates") will be mailed to holders of record of the Common Stock as of the close of business on the Distribution Date, and such Right Certificates alone will evidence the New Rights.

The New Rights, which are not exercisable until the Distribution Date, will expire prior to the earliest of (i) May 6, 2022 or such later day as may be established by the Board prior to the expiration of the New Rights, provided that the extension is submitted to the Company's stockholders for ratification at the next annual meeting of stockholders of the Company succeeding such extension; (ii) the time at which the New Rights are redeemed pursuant to the NOL Rights Agreement; (iii) the time at which the New Rights are exchanged pursuant to the NOL Rights Agreement; (iv) the time at which the New Rights are terminated upon the occurrence of certain transactions; (v) the close of business on the first day after the Company's 2019 annual meeting of stockholders, if approval by the stockholders of the Company of the NOL Rights Agreement has not been obtained on or prior to the close of business on the first day after the Company's 2019 annual meeting of stockholders; (vi) the close of business on the effective date of the repeal of Section 382 of the Tax Code, if the Board determines that the NOL Rights Agreement is no longer necessary or desirable for the preservation of Tax Benefits; and (vii) the close of business on the first day of a taxable year of the Company to which the Board determines that no Tax Benefits are available to be carried forward, (the earliest of (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) and (vii) is referred to as the "Expiration Date").

Table of Contents

Each share of Preferred Stock will be entitled, when, as and if declared, to a preferential per share quarterly dividend payment equal to the greater of (i) $1.00 per share or (ii) an amount equal to 1,000 times the aggregate quarterly dividend declared per share of Common Stock since the immediately preceding quarterly dividend payment date for the Common Stock (or, with respect to the first quarterly dividend payment on the Common Stock, since the first issuance of the Preferred Stock). Each share of Preferred Stock will entitle the holder thereof to 1,000 votes on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Company. In the event of any merger, consolidation or other transaction in which shares of Common Stock are converted or exchanged, each share of Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive 1,000 times the amount received per one share of Common Stock.

On April 7, 2022, the Board approved an extension of the NOL Rights Agreement from May 6, 2022 to May 6, 2025. This extension was approved by the stockholders at the 2022 annual meeting of stockholders held on September 12, 2022. Refer to Note 17-Subsequent Events in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in regard to termination of NOL Rights Agreement.

8. Warrants

Warrants

Goldman Warrants

On February 4, 2019, the Company sold to Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (the "Holder"), a Purchase Warrantfor Common Shares (the "Warrant") pursuant to which the Holder may purchase shares of the Company's Common Stock in an aggregate amount of up to 404,634 shares (the "Warrant Shares"). The Warrantwas sold to the Holder at a purchase price of $150,000, in a private placement exempt from registration under the Securities Act. The Warrant may be exercised by the Holder at any time after August 4, 2019 at an exercise price equal to $8.86 and expired on February 4, 2024. The value of the Warrant was $2.3 million and has been classified as an equity instrument in additional paid in capital in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

On December 9, 2019, the Company entered into an Amendment No. 1 to the Warrant with Special Situations Investing Group II, LLC (as successor in interest to Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC) (the "Warrant Holder") that increased the number of Warrant Shares issuable under the Warrant and to decrease the exercise price from $8.86 per share to $3.80 per share.

On June 16, 2020, the Company entered into an Amendment No. 2 to the Warrant with the Warrant Holder that increased the number of Warrant Shares issuable under the Warrant and decreased the exercise price from $3.80 per share to $2.61 per share. Amendment No. 2 also amends the Warrant such that the Per Share Anti-Dilution Price (as defined therein) is equal to the exercise price per share as provided in Amendment No. 2 to the Warrant.

As a result of the decreases in exercise price, the Company recorded additional debt discounts with a corresponding entry to additional paid in capital in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and Statements of Stockholders Equity. As of June 30, 2023, the Warrant Holder was permitted to purchase shares of the Company's Common Stock in an aggregate amount of up to 463,067 warrant shares at an exercise price of $2.61 per share. The Warrants were cancelled on the Effective Date in accordance with the Plan. See Note 17-Subsequent Events in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the Plan.

Goldman "2020 Warrant"

On October 1, 2020, the Company entered into an Amendment No. 3 to the Warrant with the Warrant Holder that amends the Warrant to, among other things, make certain changes necessitated by the issuance of a second warrant (the "2020 Warrant") to the Warrant Holder pursuant to the Company's entry into an Amended & Restated ("A&R") Note Purchase Agreement (see Note 12 - Term Note Payable).

September 2019 Pre-Funded and Series D Warrants

On September 4, 2019, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Securities Purchase Agreement") with certain institutional and accredited investors pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell in a registered direct offering (the "Registered Direct Offering") an aggregate of 580,000 shares of Common Stock, at a negotiated purchase price of $5.00 per share, and Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 440,000 shares of Common Stock at a negotiated purchase price of $5.00 per Pre-Funded Warrant, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $5.1 million (580,000 shares of Common Stock plus 440,000 Pre-Funded warrants at a $5.00 per share purchase price), before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses. Net proceeds from the offering were $4.6 million. The offering closed on September 9, 2019. On October 24, 2019, a warrant holder exercised its rights to the warrant agreement to exercise on a cash basis 440,000 Pre-Funded Warrants at an exercise price of $0.001 per share under the warrant agreement.

In a concurrent private placement, the Company issued to the purchasers warrants to purchase 765,000 shares of Common Stock, which represent 75% of the number of shares of Common Stock and shares underlying the Pre-Funded Warrants purchased in the Registered Direct Offering, pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement. The Common Warrants will be exercisable for shares of Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $6.12 per share for a period of five years, starting on April 2, 2020 and expiring on April 2, 2025. In January 2021, three warrant holders exercised their rights to the warrant agreement to exercise on a cashless basis 690,000 Series D warrants at an exercise price of $6.12 per share under the warrant agreement. In accordance with the terms of the warrant agreement, after taking into account the shares withheld to satisfy the cashless exercise option, the Company issued 352,279 shares of Common Stock. As of June 30, 2023, there were 75,000 Series D warrants outstanding. The pre-funded warrants and Series D warrants were each cancelled on the Effective Date in accordance with the Plan. See Note 17-Subsequent Events in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the Plan.

August 2022 Warrants

On August 24, 2022, the Company issued 2,934,498 of common stock warrants with an exercise price of $2.75 (the "August 2022 Warrants") pursuant to an underwriting agreement, dated as of August 18, 2022, by and between the Company, Lake Street Capital Markets, LLC and Joseph Gunnar and Company, LLC. The August 2022 Warrants were cancelled on the Effective Date in accordance with the Plan. See Note 17-Subsequent Events in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the Plan.

9. Fair Value Measurements

The FASB has established a framework for measuring fair value using generally accepted accounting principles. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described as follows:

Level 1. Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2.Inputs to the valuation methodology include:

If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

15

Table of Contents

Level 3. Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

The asset or liability's fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

Basis for Valuation

The carrying values reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair values because of the immediate or short-term maturities of these financial instruments. The term note payable has been recorded net of a discount based on the fair value of the associated warrant and capitalized debt issuance costs and as of June 30, 2023 includes the Three-Year Term Note as discussed in Note 12 - Term Note Payable.

10. Supplemental Financial Statement Information

Other Assets

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had $2.5 million of royalty-related assets remaining recorded within the prepaid and other current assets and other assets line items on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The asset is being amortized over a 15-year period through September 2033 using an effective royalty rate.

A 15-year amortization period is the minimum expected life cycle of the current generation of product. The effective royalty rate is calculated as the prepaid royalty settlement divided by total projected C200 System units over the 15-year amortization period. On a quarterly basis, the Company performs a re-forecast of C200 System unit shipments to determine if an adjustment to the effective royalty rate is necessary and accordingly whether an impairment exists. The Company determined an impairment did not exist as of June 30, 2023.

The current and long-term portions of prepaid royalties, included in prepaid and other current assets and other assets, respectively, consisted of (in thousands):

11. Accrued Warranty Reserve

The Company provides for the estimated costs of warranties at the time revenue is recognized. The specific terms and conditions of those warranties vary depending upon the microturbine product sold and the geography of sale. The Company's product warranties generally start from the delivery date and continue for up to twenty-four months. Factors that affect the Company's warranty obligation include product failure rates, anticipated hours of product operations and costs of repair or replacement in correcting product failures. These factors are estimates that may change based on new information that becomes available each period. Similarly, the Company also accrues the estimated costs to address reliability repairs on products no longer in warranty when, in the Company's judgment, and in accordance with a specific plan developed by the Company, it is prudent to provide such repairs. The Company assesses the adequacy of recorded warranty liabilities quarterly and adjusts to the liability as necessary. When the Company has sufficient evidence that product changes are altering the historical failure occurrence rates, the impact of such changes is then taken into account in estimating future warranty liabilities. Changes in the accrued warranty reserve consisted of the following (in thousands):

12. Term Note Payable

Three-Year Term Note

On February 4, 2019, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (as amended, the "Note Purchase Agreement"), by and among the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company party thereto as guarantors, Goldman Sachs Specialty Lending Holdings, Inc., as collateral agent (the "Collateral Agent") and any other purchasers party thereto from time to time (collectively, the "Purchaser"). Under the Note Purchase Agreement, the Company sold to the Purchaser $30.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes (the "Notes"), bearing interest at a rate of 13.0% per annum and payable quarterly on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year until maturity.

On October 1, 2020, the Company entered into the A&R Note Purchase Agreement. The A&R Note Purchase Agreement amends and restates that certain Note Purchase Agreement, as amended, dated February 4, 2019, by and among the Company, certain of its subsidiaries as guarantors, the Collateral Agent and various purchasers party thereto. Under the A&R Note Purchase Agreement, the Company issued an additional $20 million in Notes, increasing total borrowings to $50.0 million. Following entry into the A&R Note Purchase Agreement, all outstanding Notes bear interest at the Adjusted (London Interbank Offer) LIBO Rate (as defined in the A&R Note Purchase Agreement) plus 8.75% per annum, payable on the last day of each interest period of one-, two-, three- or six-months (but, in the case of a six-month interest period, every three months). The Notes do not amortize and the entire principal balance is due in a single payment on the maturity date, September 1, 2024. Obligations under the A&R Note Purchase Agreement are secured by all of the Company's assets, including intellectual property and general intangibles.

The A&R Note Purchase Agreement contains customary covenants, including, among others, covenants that restrict the Company's ability to incur debt, grant liens, make certain investments and acquisitions, pay dividends, repurchase equity interests, repay certain debt, amend certain contracts, enter into affiliate transactions and asset sales or make certain equity issuances (including equity issuances that would cause an ownership change within the meaning of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code), and covenants that require the Company to, among other things, provide annual, quarterly and monthly financial statements, together with related compliance certificates, maintain its property in good condition, maintain insurance and comply with applicable laws. The financial covenants of the A&R Note Purchase Agreement require the Company not to exceed specified levels of Adjusted EBITDA losses relative to its financial model, beginning with the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2021. Additionally, the Company shall not permit the Company's minimum consolidated liquidity, which consists of its cash and cash equivalents, to be less than $9.0 million. Furthermore, the covenants require the Company to expand its Rental Fleet (as defined in the A&R Note Purchase Agreement) by (i) at least 6.25 MW by the 9-month anniversary of the Closing Date, and (ii) at least 12.50 MW by the 18-month anniversary of the Closing Date.

On May 12, 2021, the Company and the Collateral Agent entered into a First Amendment (the "Amendment"), to the A&R Note Purchase Agreement. The Amendment amends certain provisions of the A&R Note Purchase Agreement,

17

Table of Contents

including to (a) require the Company to expand its Rental Fleet (as defined in the A&R Note Purchase Agreement) by (i) at least 2.00 MW by the 9-month anniversary of the Closing Date (instead of 6.25 MW as provided in the A&R Note Purchase Agreement prior to the Amendment), and (ii) at least 12.50 MW by the 18-month anniversary of the Closing Date (which is unchanged from the covenant set forth in the A&R Note Purchase Agreement prior to the Amendment), and (b) increase the Company's minimum consolidated liquidity requirement from $9.0 million to $12.2 million for the period from May 12, 2021 to March 31, 2022, and $9.0 million thereafter. The financial covenants of the A&R Note Purchase Agreement require the Company not to exceed specified levels of Adjusted EBITDA losses relative to its financial model, beginning with the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2021. As of March 31, 2022, the Company was not in compliance with the Adjusted EBITDA covenant contained in the A&R Note Purchase Agreement and did not cure such non-compliance by prepaying the Notes. As a result, the Company was in breach of the Adjusted EBITDA covenant as of May 27, 2022. On July 13, 2022 the Company entered into the A&R NPA Second Amendment with the Purchaser and the Collateral Agent, pursuant to which (i) the Purchaser and the Collateral Agent waived our breach of the Adjusted EBITDA covenant and (ii) the A&R Note Purchase Agreement has been amended to, among other things, add certain new covenants, including requirements that the Company uses its commercially reasonable best efforts to raise at least $10.0 million through a sale of its common stock by September 14, 2022 and refinance the Notes by October 1, 2022.

On March 13, 2023, the Company transferred $9.0 million of funds from Bridge Bank, Affiliate of Western Alliance Bank, to Wells Fargo Bank. The Wells Fargo Bank account did not have an account control agreement in place, resulted in a breach of the covenant requiring the Company to have at all times a liquidity (i.e., cash in accounts covered by account control agreements) (the "Liquidity Covenant") of at least $9.0 million. The Company transferred the $9.0 million back to its Bridge Bank account on April 5, 2023. On April 21, 2023, the Company again breached the Liquidity Covenant when its total funds in accounts subject to account control agreements fell below $9.0 million. On July 3, 2023, the Company failed to make the interest payment for the most recently ended quarter. On July 6, 2023, the Company entered into the A&R NPA Fourth Amendment with the Purchase and the Collateral Agent.

As of June 30, 2023, $51.0 million in borrowings were outstanding under the Notes, which includes the $1.0 million accrual for an exit fee to be paid at maturity or upon pre-payment. Interest expense related to the Notes during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $1.7 million and $1.4 million, respectively, and includes $9,000 in amortization of debt issuance costs in both periods.

As a result of the Company's restated earnings, the Company was not in compliance with the Adjusted EBITDA covenant contained in the A&R Note Purchase Agreement. The breach required a change in classification of the term note payable to current liability on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet resulting in a liquidity issue for the Company. See Note 17-Subsequent Events in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the outstanding debt and the post emergence financing.

​

13. Revenue Recognition

The Company derives its revenues primarily from the sale of microturbine products, accessories, parts, equipment rentals and services.

The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:

Microturbine Products The Company recognizes revenue when the performance obligation identified under the terms of the contract with its customer is satisfied, which generally occurs, for microturbine products, upon the transfer of control in accordance with the contractual terms and conditions of the sale. The majority of the Company's revenue associated with a microturbine product is recognized at a point in time when the microturbine product is shipped to the customer. On occasion, the Company enters into bill-and-hold arrangements. Each bill-and-hold arrangement is reviewed and revenue is recognized only when certain criteria have been met: (i) the reason for the bill-and-hold arrangement is substantive; (ii) the product is segregated from the Company's other inventory items held for sale; (iii) the product is ready for shipment to the customer; and (iv) the Company does not have the ability to use the product or direct it to another customer.

18

Table of Contents

Accessories The Company recognizes revenue when performance obligations identified under the terms of contracts with its customers are satisfied, which generally occurs, for accessories, upon the transfer of control in accordance with the contractual terms and conditions of the sale.

Parts and Services Revenue from extended warranties and post-shipment performance obligations is recognized when or as those obligations are satisfied. The Company primarily offers assurance-type standard warranties that do not represent separate performance obligations and will separately offer and price extended warranties that are separate performance obligations for which the associated revenue is recognized over-time based on the extended warranty period. The Company records amounts billed to customers for reimbursement of shipping and handling costs within revenue. Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control over a system has transferred to a customer are accounted for as fulfillment costs and are included in cost of goods sold. Sales taxes and other usage-based taxes are excluded from revenue. The Company extends payment terms past one year only on a limited basis, and thus any financing component is not considered material.

Factory Protection Plan In addition to the provision of standard warranties, the Company offers Factory Protection Plans ("FPP") to minimize product downtime and control maintenance costs to ensure the microturbine system will operate when needed and perform as intended at the lowest cost of ownership. Revenue related to the Company's performance obligation to provide replacement parts as needed is recognized over the 30-day, FPP contract period with automatic renewals for 5, 10, 15, or 20 years under ASC 606. The related costs are accrued at the time a customer submits an order, and the order's compliance with the terms of the plan are confirmed, for a replacement part to reflect the Company's obligation. The accrual reflects the Company's best estimate of the probable liability under the replacement part obligation. The provision is periodically adjusted to reflect actual experience. FPP contracts typically go into effect once the standard warranty expires. The current carrying amount of the liability is $11.2 million.

Some FPPs offer a labor reimbursement on the labor performed on a microturbine system. Due to the nature of the arrangement, labor reimbursements are accounted for under ASC 460. See below for additional information on the labor reimbursement within the FPP offering.

Comprehensive factory protection plan service contracts require payment at the beginning of the contract period. Advance payments are not considered a significant financing component as they are typically received less than one year before the related performance obligations are satisfied. These payments are treated as a contract liability and are classified in deferred revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Once control transfers to the customer and the Company meets the revenue recognition criteria, the deferred revenue is recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The deferred revenue relating to the annual maintenance service contracts is recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations on a straight-line basis over the expected term of the contract.

Significant Judgments - Contracts with Multiple Performance Obligations

The Company enters into contracts with its customers that often include promises to transfer multiple products, parts, accessories, FPP and services. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract with a customer to transfer products or services that are distinct. Determining whether products and services are distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately or combined as one unit of accounting may require significant judgment.

Products, parts and accessories are distinct as such services are often sold separately. In determining whether FPP and service contracts are distinct, the Company considers the following factors for each FPP and services agreement: availability of the services from other vendors, the nature of the services, the timing of when the services contract was signed in comparison to the product delivery date and the contractual dependence of the product on the customer's satisfaction with the professional services work. To date, the Company has concluded that all of the FPP and services contracts included in contracts with multiple performance obligations are distinct.

The Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price ("SSP") basis. The SSP is the price at which the Company would sell a promised product or service separately to a customer. Judgment is required to determine the SSP for each distinct performance obligation.

The Company determines SSP by considering its overall pricing objectives and market conditions. Significant pricing practices taken into consideration include the Company's discounting practices, the size and volume of the Company's transactions, the customer demographic, the geographic area where systems and services are sold, price lists, its go-to-market strategy, historical sales and contract prices. The determination of SSP is made through consultation with and approval by the Company's management, taking into consideration the go-to-market strategy. As the Company's go-

19

Table of Contents

to-market strategies evolve, the Company may modify its pricing practices in the future, which could result in changes to SSP.

In certain cases, the Company is able to establish SSP based on observable prices of products or services sold separately in comparable circumstances to similar customers. The Company uses a single amount to estimate SSP when it has observable prices.

If SSP is not directly observable, for example when pricing is highly variable, the Company uses a range of SSP. The Company determines the SSP range using information that may include market conditions or other observable inputs. The Company typically has more than one SSP for individual products and services due to the stratification of those products and services by customer size and geography.

Contract Balances

The Company's deferred revenues consist of advance payments for microturbine products, parts, accessories and FPP contracts, but not yet delivered (contract liabilities), as well as advance payments on service obligations and extended warranties. The current portion of deferred revenue is included in deferred revenue and the non-current portion of deferred revenue is included in deferred revenue, non-current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Changes in deferred revenue consisted of the following (in thousands):

​

Deferred revenue attributed to FPP contracts represents the unearned portion of the Company's contracts. FPP agreements are generally paid quarterly in advance, with revenue recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract period. As of June 30, 2023, approximately $4.5 million of revenue is expected to be recognized from remaining performance obligations for FPP agreements. The Company expects to recognize revenue on approximately $3.7 million

20

Table of Contents

of these remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months and the balance of $0.8 million will be recognized thereafter.

The Company's Distributor Support System (the "DSS program") provides additional support for distributor business development activities, customer lead generation, brand awareness and tailored marketing services for each of the Company's major geographic and market verticals. This program is funded by the Company's distributors and was developed to provide improved worldwide distributor training, sales efficiency, website development, company branding and funding for increased strategic marketing activities. DSS program revenue is generally paid quarterly with revenue recognized on a straight-line basis over a calendar year period. Deposits are primarily non-refundable cash payments from distributors for future orders.

Unsatisfied Performance Obligations

The Company has elected the practical expedient to disclose only the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length greater than one year. The majority of the Company's revenues resulted from sales of inventoried systems with short periods of manufacture and delivery and thus are excluded from this disclosure.

Practical Expedients

The Company applies a practical expedient to expense costs as incurred for costs to obtain a contract when the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs are recorded within sales and marketing expenses in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

14. Commitments and Contingencies

Purchase Commitments

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had firm commitments to purchase inventories of approximately $45.0 million through Fiscal 2026. Certain inventory delivery dates and related payments are not scheduled; therefore, amounts under these firm purchase commitments will be payable upon the receipt of the related inventories.

Lease Commitments

See Note 15 - Leases.

Other Commitments

The Company has agreements with certain of its distributors requiring that, if the Company renders parts obsolete in inventories the distributors own and hold in support of their obligations to serve fielded microturbines, then the Company is required to replace the affected stock at no cost to the distributors. While the Company has never incurred costs or obligations for these types of replacements, it is possible that future changes in the Company's product technology could result and yield costs to the Company if significant amounts of inventory are held at distributors. As of June 30, 2023, no significant inventories of this nature were held at distributors.

Legal Matters

Capstone Turbine Corporation v. Turbine International, LLC.

On February 3, 2020, Capstone Turbine Corporation filed suit against its former distributor, Turbine International, LLC ("Turbine Intl."), in the Superior Court of California for the County of Los Angeles under the following caption: Capstone Turbine Corporation v. Turbine International, LLC; Case No. 20STCV04372 ("Capstone-Turbine Intl. Litigation"). The Company has alleged claims against Turbine Intl. for breach of contract and for injunctive relief relating to the parties' prior distributor relationship, which terminated at the end of March 2018, and Turbine Intl.'s failure to satisfy its payment obligations under certain financial agreements, namely an accounts receivable agreement and promissory note in favor of Capstone. As remedies for these claims, the Company is seeking compensatory and consequential damages, along with injunctive relief and attorney's fees, interest, and costs.

21

Table of Contents

On March 18, 2020, Turbine Intl. filed its answer and cross-claims in the Capstone-Turbine Intl. In its cross-claims, Turbine Intl. asserted claims against Capstone, and individually against Mr. James Crouse, Capstone's Chief Revenue Officer, for breach of contract under the distributor agreement, accounts receivable agreement and promissory note, fraud, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, unjust enrichment and constructive trust, negligent misrepresentation, violation of the California unfair practices act, violation of the racketeer influenced corrupt organizations act, and conspiracy to commit fraud. As remedies for these alleged claims, Turbine Intl. is seeking compensatory, consequential, and punitive damages along with attorney's fees, interest, and costs. Capstone answered the cross-claims on May 7, 2020.

On June 29, 2020, Capstone filed a motion to file a First Amended Complaint that would add, among other things, a claim for enforcement of a guaranty signed by an entity related to Turbine Intl., Hispania Petroleum, S.A., and personal claims against the principals of Turbine Intl. and Hispania. That motion was granted on August 19, 2020, and the First Amended Complaint ("FAC") is now on file. All of the new defendants have been served and have filed answers.

As of June 30, 2023, discovery had been served and answered on both sides. On May 17, 2024, the trial was set for July 29, 2024; and the court ordered the parties to mediate the matter by June 19, 2024. On July 2, 2024, Turbine Intl. petitioned the court for a continuance and to reopen discovery. The court granted the continuance and set the trial date for December 2, 2024 and rejected the request to reopen discovery. Mediation remains court ordered. The Company has not recorded any liability as of June 30, 2023 as the cross-claims are considered to be without merit and the success of the claims to be remote and indeterminable.

SEC Investigation

In June 2023, prior to the issuance of the Company's consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, the Audit Committee of the Company's Board commenced an Investigation into certain accounting and internal control matters of the Company, principally focused on certain revenue recognition matters (the "Revenue Recognition Investigation") and self-reported its findings to the Division of Enforcement of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Following the self-report, the SEC Enforcement Division commenced an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the restatement of the Company's quarterly and annual financial statements (the "SEC Investigation"). The Audit Committee further self-reported its findings pursuant to an investigation into FPP related practices to the SEC. The Company is cooperating with the SEC in connection with its investigation. Investigations of this nature may be costly and require management to devote significant time and attention away from the ongoing operation of the business. The Company cannot predict the duration or outcome of this matter.

Cal Microturbine Arbitration

On March 13, 2024, Cal Microturbine, a distributor of the Company, submitted a demand for arbitration before the American Arbitration Association seeking, among other things, approximately $24.5 million in damages and alleging that the Company breached its distributor agreement with Cal Microturbine and committed fraud in allowing another company, Capstone Engineered Solutions, to sell, rent and service turbines in Cal Microturbine's exclusive territory under the distribution agreement. The parties have completed selection of an arbitration panel; but the matter is in its preliminary stages with no hearing date set as of the date hereof. The Company cannot estimate the outcome and plans to fight the claim vigorously.

Spitzer v. Flexon, Jamison, Juric, Robinson, and Hencken

On October 13, 2023, a putative securities class action was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, captioned Spitzer v. Flexon, et al., Case No. 2:23-cv-08659, naming certain of the Company's current and former directors and officers as defendants. The suit alleges claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder based on allegedly false and misleading statements regarding, and allegedly inadequate disclosure surrounding, the Company's business, operations and prospects and the circumstances leading up to the restatement of the Company's quarterly and annual financial statements. The suit is purportedly brought on behalf of persons and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired the Company's securities between June 14, 2021 and September 22, 2023 and seeks to recover unspecified compensatory damages and other relief, including attorney's fees. The Company may incur significant legal expenses in defending the legal matters described above during the pendency of these matters, and in connection with any other potential legal matters, including expenses for the potential reimbursement of legal fees of officers and directors under indemnification obligations. The Company anticipates these legal fees to not exceed the insurance deductible of $1.2 million.

Rouse v. Capstone Green Energy Corporation

On June 18, 2024, a complaint for damages was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles captioned Mark Rouse v. Capstone Green Energy Corporation alleging violations of the California labor code, breach of contract, conversion, breach of covenant of good faith and fair dealing and wrongful termination. The complaint seeks damages, medical expenses, attorneys' fees, interest and costs related to the termination of Mr. Rouse's employment and alleged non-payment of sales commissions in excess of $300,000. The Company is engaged in settlement discussions with Mr. Rouse's counsel and has yet to file its answer to the complaint. No hearing date has been set in the matter as of the date hereof. The Company has not recorded any liability as of June 30, 2023 as the matter is too early to estimate and any outcome would be immaterial to the financial results.

15. Leases

Lessor

The Company rents microturbine equipment to its customers for terms up to thirty-six months with an extension option, which may impact the lease term. Monthly rental payments are fixed; however, the leases may include variable payments for fuel, excess labor, additional equipment, or technician labor and engineering support. As further described below, the Company rents certain microturbine equipment back from customers and subleases this equipment to end users as a part of its Energy-as-a-Service business.

At June 30, 2023, the Company's minimum rental revenue to be received under operating leases were as follows (in thousands):

​

Lessee

The Company leases facilities and equipment under various non-cancelable operating and finance leases expiring at various times through Fiscal 2037. All of the leases require the Company to pay maintenance, insurance and property taxes. The lease agreements for primary office and manufacturing facilities provide for rent escalation over the lease term and renewaloptions for five-yearperiods. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, which may include extension periods.

During the first quarter of Fiscal 2024, the Company entered into two rental agreements, to rent used microturbine equipment from customers where that equipment was not currently in use. These rental agreements provide the Company an option to extend the lease, however, the Company is not likely to exercise these options and therefore not included in the determination of the lease term. As of June 30, 2023, lease commitments totaled approximately 11.8 MW of microturbines and have an average term of 36 months, and a total commitment value of approximately $10.5 million.

16. Net Loss Per Common Share

Basic loss per common share is computed using the weighted-average number of Common Shares outstanding for the period.

(together with the Company, the "Debtors"), commenced voluntary proceedings under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Bankruptcy Code") in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the "Bankruptcy Court"). The Chapter 11 proceedings were jointly administered under the caption In re Capstone Green Energy Corporation, Inc., et al. (the "Chapter 11 Cases").

The TSA also provides for termination by the parties upon the occurrence of certain events.

DIP Note Purchase Agreement

On October 3, 2023, the Debtors entered into a super-priority senior secured debtor-in-possession note purchase agreement (the "DIP Note Purchase Agreement") with Broad Street and the Collateral Agent. Broad Street provided the Debtors with a credit facility (the "DIP Facility") in an aggregate principal amount of $30.0 million, consisting of (1) $12.0 million new money DIP notes, and (2) a roll-up of a portion of secured obligations under the existing pre-petition debt with Broad Street in the amount of $18.0 million, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the DIP Note Purchase Agreement. On September 28, 2023, the Debtors filed the Motion of Debtors for Interim and Final Orders (I) Authorizing the Debtors to Obtain Senior Secured Postpetition Financing, (II) Granting Liens and Superpriority Administrative Expense Status, (III) Authorizing the Use of Cash Collateral, (IV) Granting Adequate Protection to Pre-Petition Secured Parties, (V) Scheduling a Final Hearing, and (VI) Granting Related Relief (the "DIP Motion") seeking the Bankruptcy Court's approval of the DIP Facility and certain related relief. A copy of the DIP Note Purchase Agreement was attached to the joint prepackaged Chapter 11 plan of reorganization (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Plan") filed as part of the voluntary petition.

On October 2, 2023, the Bankruptcy Court granted the DIP Motion and entered an interim order (the "Interim DIP Order") approving the DIP Facility on an interim basis and providing the Debtors with the necessary liquidity to continue to operate in Chapter 11. Upon entry of the Interim DIP Order and satisfaction of all applicable conditions precedent, as set forth in the DIP Note Purchase Agreement, the Debtors were authorized to make a single, initial draw of $9.0 million on the DIP Facility (the "Initial Draw").

The amount was drawn by the Debtors on October 24, 2023, after the entry of the Final Order and

26

The Bankruptcy Court originally set a final hearing date on November 7, 2023, in accordance with the requirements of the TSA. On November 3, 2023, the final hearing was cancelled and rescheduled to November 13, 2023, with the permission of the Bankruptcy Court.

Emergence from Voluntary Chapter 11 Proceedings

The Bankruptcy Court confirmed the Plan on November 14, 2023, and the Debtors satisfied all conditions required for Plan effectiveness and the Company emerged from the Chapter 11 Cases ("Emergence") on the Effective Date. On or following the emergence date and pursuant to the terms of the Plan, the following occurred or became effective:

▪Restructuring: The Company was reorganized pursuant to the TSA and the legal entity Capstone Green Energy Corporation became a private company ("Reorganized PrivateCo") that continues to own assets consisting of (i) all of the Company's right, title, and interest in and to certain trademarks of the Company and (ii) assets owned by the Company relating to distributor support services ((i) and (ii) together, the "Retained Assets") and certain income tax attributes that remained with the Reorganized PrivateCo. All other creditors other than the pre-petition senior secured lender of the Company were unimpaired and unaffected by the bankruptcy case. The Company has and will continue to pay vendors and other creditors following Emergence. Capstone Turbine International became a publicly traded company and was renamed Capstone Green Energy Holdings, Inc. This entity is the successor entity for purposes of Securities and Exchange Commission registration. Pre-petition equity holders received 100% of the common equity in Capstone Green Energy Holdings, Inc., subject to dilution for any equity incentive plans implemented as part of the reorganization, including shares of class B common stock issued to certain key employees and directors. All equity of the Reorganized PrivateCo was cancelled. The Reorganized PrivateCo equity is owned 100% by the pre-petition senior secured lender in exchange for the satisfaction of $35.0 million of its pre-petition claims, and $10.0 million of its DIP claim. A new subsidiary to Capstone Green Energy Holdings, Inc. was created, issuing 100% of its common equity to Capstone Green Energy Holdings, Inc. and 100% of its preferred equity to the Reorganized PrivateCo, with such preferred equity representing a non-dilutable 37.5% equity ownership interest in the new subsidiary. Accordingly, the public entity owns common equity interests representing a 62.5% equity ownership interest in the new subsidiary. Such new subsidiary conducts all of the Capstone business (other than in respect of the Retained Assets).

▪Exit Financing: The DIP Facility converted into an Exit Facility (as defined herein) for an aggregate principal amount of $28.0 million, consisting of (1) $7.0 million new money notes, (2) a roll-up of secured obligations under the pre-petition debt in the amount of $8.0 million, and (3) a roll-up of the DIP new money notes of $12.0 million plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Exit Note Purchase Agreement by and among Capstone Green Energy LLC, as the issuer, Capstone Green Energy Holdings, Inc. and Capstone Turbine Financial Services, LLC, as the guarantors, Broad Street and the Collateral Agent. The new money notes mature two years from the Effective Date, and the roll-up debts mature three years from the emergence date. Interest is calculated using a SOFR rate plus an applicable margin, and a portion is paid-in-kind until the third year following emergence. In the original Plan, the exit facility was to be for an aggregate principal amount of $25.0 million, with only $5.0 million in new money notes. The final approved Plan increased the new money notes to $7.0 million upon the confirmation of the Plan by Bankruptcy Court.

NOL Rights Agreement

In connection with the Emergence and in accordance with the Plan, the NOL Rights Agreement was terminated and the obligations of the Company thereunder were discharged by order of the Bankruptcy Court.

Exit Facility Agreement

In connection with the emergence from the Chapter 11 Cases, on the Effective Date, Operating Subsidiary entered into an Exit Note Purchase Agreement (the "Exit Note Purchase Agreement"), by and among Operating Subsidiary, as the issuer, the Company and Capstone Financial Services, as the guarantors (the "Guarantors"), Purchaser and the Collateral Agent (each as defined in the Exit Note Purchase Agreement). The Exit Note Purchase Agreement provides for:

Table of Contents

(ii) a roll up of $8.0 million of DIP Roll Up Notes (plus any accrued unpaid interest) (collectively with the roll up of the $12.6 million DIP New Money Notes, the "Exit Roll Up Notes"); and

(iii) an additional $7.0 million new money committed delayed draw term loan facility (the "Exit New Money Notes" and, together with the Exit Roll Up Notes, the "Notes"), of which $3.0 million was drawn at closing.

The Exit Note Purchase Agreement also provides for a $10.0 million uncommitted incremental facility. The proceeds of the $7.0 million of Exit New Money Notes were used to fund restructuring expenses and for working capital, for general corporate purposes and to pay interest, premiums, fees and expenses payable under the other Note Documents (as defined in the Exit Note Purchase Agreement). The Notes bear interest at a rate equal to the Adjusted Term SOFR(as defined in the Exit Note Purchase Agreement) plus 7.00% per annum. A portion of the interest on the Notes is paid-in-kind until the third year following the Effective Date.

The Exit Roll Up Notes mature on December 7, 2026, and the Exit New Money Notes mature on December 7, 2025.

The Notes issued pursuant to the Exit Note Purchase Agreement are secured by a lien on substantially all of the present and future property and assets of Operating Subsidiary and each Guarantor, subject to customary exceptions and exclusions. The Exit Note Purchase Agreement also includes conditions precedent, representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, events of default, and other customary provisions, including financial covenants with respect to minimum consolidated liquidity and minimum consolidated adjusted EBITDA.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company was not in compliance with the minimum adjusted EBITDA covenant contained in the Exit Note Purchase Agreement. In anticipation of such default, the Company obtained a waiver from the Purchaser and the Collateral Agent on March 27, 2024. There can be no assurance that the Purchase and the Collateral Agent will waive any future defaults that may occur. If future defaults occur, the Purchaser and the Collateral Agent can exercise their rights and remedies under the Exit Note Purchase Agreement (and other security related documents), including a right to accelerate the maturity of the Company's repayment obligations under the Notes.

On June 28, 2024, the Company entered into the First Amendment (the "First Amendment") to the Exit Note Purchase Agreement.

The First Amendment provides for: (i) the amendment of the Adjusted EBITDA financial covenant to (a) allow adjustment for costs related to the restatement of, or other adjustments to, the financial statements of the Company for the period beginning on the Closing Date (as defined in the Exit Note Purchase Agreement) and ending at the end of the 2025 Fiscal Year and (b) the Adjusted EBITDA financial covenant to be first tested at the quarter ended September 30, 2024, (ii) the amendment of the Minimum Consolidated Liquidity financial covenant to (a) reduce the Minimum Consolidated Liquidity to $1,000,000 from September 30, 2024 to March 30, 2025 and (b) defer the testing of the Minimum Consolidated Liquidity financial covenant to September 30, 2024 and (iii) the extension of the deadline for the delivery of the Company's audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 (the "fiscal 2024 financial statements") to September 27, 2024 and the removal of the covenant that the fiscal 2024 financial statements be accompanied by a report and opinion of an independent certified public accountant which is not subject to any "going concern" or like qualification.

(v) from March 31 2026 to December 7, 2026, $4,000,000.

Table of Contents

Members may not transfer their Units (as defined in the Operating Subsidiary LLC Agreement), provided that all, but not less than all, Preferred Units held by the Preferred Members may be transferred only if: (i) transferred to the same transferee (or its Affiliates) as part of the same transaction or series of related transactions, in which case (A) the Preferred Members must cause the recipient(s) of such Preferred Units to comply with the terms of the Operating Subsidiary LLC Agreement, and (B) if such recipient(s) are competitors of the Company only if first converted into Common Units; or (ii) transferred to more than one unaffiliated transferees as part of the same transaction or series of related transactions, in which case (A) the Preferred Members will cause the recipients of such Preferred Units to comply with the terms of the Operating Subsidiary LLC Agreement, (B) if such recipients are competitors of the Company only if first converted into Common Units, and (C) one transferee must continue to hold a sufficient number of Preferred Units so that such transferee qualifies as the Preferred Requisite Member.
