Why Is Complete Solaria (CSLR) Stock Up 41% Today?

Complete Solaria (NASDAQ:CSLR) stock is rocketing higher on Monday after the solar solutions company announced the elimination of some of its debt.

Complete Solaria notes that it has canceled $67.6 million in debt from private equity firms Carlyle and Kline Hill Partners. The company did so with a $10 million cash payment to Carlyle and an $8 million cash payment to Kline Hill Partners.

Complete Solaria notes that this debt cancelation was fueled by company CEO T.J. Rodgers. He purchased $18 million in convertible debenture security from Complete Solaria to provide it with the cash for the debt repayment.

Rodgers said the following about this in a press release.

“The latest good news is that on closing day, Sunday, June 30, after our private equity partners had studied the Company’s investor-friendly convertible debenture offering – which featured a 12% coupon and 50% conversion premium ($1.68 strike price) with no covenants or securitization terms – both of them found the convertible debenture terms compelling and agreed to re-invest the $18 million payment due them back into the Company.”
