Re: Tigo Energy, Inc.
Schedule TO-I Filed November 12, 2024
File No. 005-92838
Ladies and Gentlemen:
On behalf of our client, Tigo
Energy, Inc. (the “Company”), we are filing this letter in response to comments from the staff (the “Staff”)
of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) contained in a letter, dated November 20, 2024, with
respect to the Company’s Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO-I filed with the Commission on November 12, 2024 (the “Schedule
TO”).
The Company is concurrently
filing via EDGAR Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule TO (the “Amended Schedule TO”), which reflects the Company’s
responses to the comments received by the Staff and certain updated information.
To facilitate the Staff’s
review, we have included in this letter the caption and comment from the Staff’s comment letter in bold text and have provided
the Company’s response immediately following the comment. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings given
to such terms in the Schedule TO.
Schedule TO-I Filed November 12, 2024
General
1. As structured, optionholders who tender in your offer
will not know the number of Replacement Options they will receive in the exchange until the expiration date. With respect to the number
of Replacement Options they will receive, we further note that your Offer to Purchase illustrates only one potential exchange ratio,
which does not appear to be based on a historical market price of the underlying shares. Accordingly, please revise the Offer to Purchase
to illustrate a range of potential exchange ratios, based on historical market prices, so that optionholders can assess the impact that
market price fluctuations would have on your offer.
Response: The Company
acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has responded by amending the disclosure on pages 2-3 and 13 of the Offer to Exchange to
reflect an illustrative range of potential exchange ratios, based on historical market prices, that optionholders may expect.
2. With reference to Rules 13e-4(f)(1)(ii) and 14e-1(b),
please advise how emailing the relevant exchange ratios to securityholders “no later than 8:00 P.M.” Eastern Time on the
Offer Expiration Date allows sufficient time for holders to consider whether to tender or withdraw their options.
Response: The Company acknowledges
the Staff’s comment and has responded by amending the disclosure in the Summary Term Sheet and on pages 1, 2, 4, 12, 13 and 20 of
the Offer to Exchange to reflect that the final exchange ratios will be emailed to the securityholders no later than 5:00 P.M. Eastern
Time on the Offer Expiration Date.
3. We note that you have incorporated by reference the financial
information required by Item 1010(a) of Regulation M-A and provided some of the summary information required by Item 1010(c). Please
provide the information required by Item 1010(c)(2) and (5). See Instruction 6 to Item 10 of Schedule TO and telephone interpretation
I.H.7 in the July 2001 supplement to our “Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations” that is available on the
Commission’s website at http://www.sec.gov for additional guidance.
Response: The Company acknowledges
the Staff’s comment and has responded by amending the disclosure on page 28 of the Offer to Exchange.
4. Refer to the following disclosure on page 18 of the Offer
to Exchange: “The conditions to this Offer are for our benefit. We may assert them in our discretion regardless of the circumstances
giving rise to them before the Offer Expiration Date, other than acts or omissions by us. We may waive them, in whole or in part, at
any time and from time to time prior to the Offer Expiration Date, in our reasonable discretion, whether or not we waive any other condition
to this Offer. Our failure at any time to exercise any of these rights will not be deemed a waiver of any such rights.” If an offer
condition is “triggered” while an offer is pending, in our view, the offeror must promptly inform securityholders whether
it will assert the condition and terminate the offer, or waive it and continue. Reserving the right to waive a condition “at any
time and from time to time” may be inconsistent with your obligation in this regard. Please confirm in your response letter that
you will promptly notify securityholders if a condition is triggered while the Offer is pending.
Response: The Company acknowledges
the Staff’s comment and confirms that it will promptly notify securityholders if a condition is triggered while the Offer is pending.
