MINNETONKA, Minn., June 17, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Scott Maskin, Interim CEO of Pineapple Energy Inc. (“Pineapple”), a leading provider of sustainable solar energy and backup power to households and small businesses, has purchased additional shares to his significant position as a show of good faith in the company’s long-term viability within the residential and commercial renewables space.

“I believe in not only the mission of Pineapple Energy, but in the hardworking men and women who power our company to new heights day in and day out,” Maskin said. “This stock purchase that I made showcases the fact that I am all-in on our company’s future, and that failure is never an option. I expect more company leadership will follow suit.”

Maskin became Pineapple’s Interim CEO last month, and has since made it his priority to trim corporate expenses and communicate openly and transparently about the company’s direction with Pineapple’s shareholders.

“I pride myself on being accessible to everyone and anyone, and welcome my fellow shareholders to email me directly with their questions,” Maskin added. “I’m in this for the long-run and appreciate the continued support you’ve all shown since I’ve taken the helm.”
