Case No.: 3:25-cv-00373-JO-DDL |
TO: ALL CURRENT RECORD HOLDERS AND BENEFICIAL OWNERS OF FLUX POWER HOLDINGS, INC. (“FLUX POWER” OR THE “COMPANY”) COMMON STOCK AS OF AUGUST 12, 2025 (“CURRENT FLUX POWER SHAREHOLDERS”)
YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED, pursuant to the December 8, 2025 Preliminary Approval Order entered in the above-captioned shareholder derivative action (the “Action”), that a Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement dated August 12, 2025 (the “Stipulation” or “Settlement”)1 has been entered to resolve the shareholder derivative claims pending on behalf of nominal defendant Flux Power in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California.
The Action arises from allegations that the Individual Defendants breached their fiduciary duties as officers and directors of Flux Power by making false and/or misleading statements and/or failing to disclose that: (i) Flux Power’s financial statements from November 10, 2022 to the filing of the Complaint included, among other things, overstated inventory, gross profit, current assets, and total assets; (ii) Flux Power understated its cost of sales and net loss; (iii) as a result, Flux Power would need to restate its previously filed financial statements from November 10, 2022 to the filing of the Complaint; (iv) Flux Power understated its internal control weaknesses and/or stated that it had adequate internal controls when it did not; and (v) as a result, the Individual Defendants’ statements about its business, operations, and prospects, were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. As a result of this alleged wrongdoing, the Action alleges the Company suffered damage.
In connection with, and conditioned upon, the Settlement, Flux Power has agreed to implement and/or maintain corporate governance reforms, as defined and set forth in the Stipulation. The Parties believe that the Settlement is fair, reasonable, and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, and that the Settlement, including the Reforms, confers substantial benefits upon the Company and its stockholders. Defendants dispute the allegations in the Action and enter into the Stipulation and Settlement without in any way acknowledging any fault, liability, or wrongdoing of any kind.
On April 2, 2026, at 9:30 a.m. PT, at the Edward J. Schwartz United States Courthouse, 221 West Broadway, San Diego, CA 92101, Courtroom 4C or via Zoom or some other video platform or telephonically, the Honorable Jinsook Ohta will hold a hearing (the “Settlement Hearing”) in the Action. The purpose of the Settlement Hearing is to determine, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23.1: (i) whether the terms of the Stipulation should be approved as fair, reasonable, and adequate; (ii) whether the notice that was issued fully satisfies the requirements of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23.1 and due process; (iii) whether to enter the proposed Order and Final Judgment in its entirety, as set forth in Exhibit D to the Stipulation; (iv) whether the Fee and Expense Amount for Plaintiff’s Counsel, as well as service award for Plaintiff of up to $2,000, to be paid from the Fee and Expense Amount, should be approved; and (v) such other matters as the Court may deem appropriate.
The Court may: (i) approve the Settlement, with such modifications as may be agreed to by counsel for the Parties consistent with such Settlement, without further notice to Current Flux Power Stockholders; (ii) continue or adjourn the Settlement Hearing from time to time, by oral announcement at the hearing or at any adjournment thereof, without further notice to Current Flux Power Stockholders; and (iii) conduct the Settlement Hearing remotely without further notice to Current Flux Power Stockholders. If you intend to attend the Settlement Hearing, please consult the Court’s calendar and/or the website of Flux Power (ir.fluxpower.com) for any change in date, time or format of the Settlement Hearing.
