The structural hierarchy behind this investment is complex. The direct purchaser of these shares was Steel Connect Sub LLC, which operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of Steel Connect LLC. Moving up the corporate chain, Steel Connect LLC serves as an indirect subsidiary of Steel Excel Inc. Furthermore, Steel Excel Inc. is a majority-owned subsidiary of SPH Group Holdings LLC, which in turn is a subsidiary of SPH Group LLC. The oversight and management of this structure are handled by Steel Partners Holdings GP Inc., which acts as the general partner for Steel Partners Holdings L.P. and manages both SPH Group LLC and SPH Group Holdings LLC. Steel Partners Holdings L.P. maintains a majority ownership of the membership interests in SPH Group LLC.
Due to this interconnected corporate architecture, several entities are classified as beneficial owners of the shares held by Steel Connect Sub LLC. This group includes Steel Partners Holdings L.P., Steel Partners Holdings GP Inc., SPH Group LLC, SPH Group Holdings LLC, Steel Excel Inc., and Steel Connect LLC. While these parties are deemed to have beneficial ownership, each reporting person has disclaimed such ownership except for the extent of their specific pecuniary interest.
Following this latest transaction, the reporting group's collective holdings in Spruce Power Holding Corp. common stock have reached 3,429,380 shares. This concentration of ownership is significant, as the entities are identified as a Section 13(d) group that collectively holds more than 10% of the outstanding common stock of the issuer.
In terms of recent corporate performance, Spruce Power Holding Corporation has disclosed financial results for its fourth quarter. The company reported revenue of $24.0 million, which reflects a 19% increase compared to the corresponding period from the previous year.

However, this revenue advancement was accompanied by an adjusted earnings per share (EPS) loss of -$0.38 for the quarter that ended on December 31, 2025.
Beyond financial metrics, Spruce Power has also updated its administrative timeline regarding shareholder involvement.
