Industry Context

The solar and alternative energy industry has evolved from vertically integrated models to more specialized, decentralized business models. This shift has created a significant need for support infrastructure that bridges the gap between sales and installation. TAG fills that role by allowing contractors and sales organizations to focus on their core functions while relying on us for operational, financial, and logistical support.

Next Steps

  • The selling stockholder may sell all or a portion of these common shares from time to time in market transactions.
  • The company intends to raise capital to fund its operations through sales of multi-media and entertainment related products and services, borrowings, and private placements of its common stock.
  • The company may need to register additional shares to maximize the SPA.
