(a Delaware corporation)

* * * *

Adopted in accordance with the provisions of §242 of the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware

* * * *

Shoals Technologies Group, Inc., a corporation duly organized and existing under and by virtue of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “Corporation”), DOES HEREBY CERTIFY AS FOLLOWS:
FIRST: This Certificate of Amendment amends the provisions of the Corporation’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on January 28, 2021.
SECOND: Article VI of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation is hereby amended and replaced to read in its entirety as follows:

“ARTICLE VI
BOARD OF DIRECTORS

(a)Except as otherwise provided in this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the DGCL, the business and affairs of the Company shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board. Except as otherwise provided for or fixed pursuant to the provisions of Article IV hereof (including any certificate of designation with respect to any series of Preferred Stock) and this Article VI relating to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect additional directors, the total number of directors shall be determined from time to time exclusively by resolution adopted by the Board. Prior to the date of the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders, the directors (other than those directors elected by the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, voting separately as a series or together with one or more other such series, as the case may be) shall be divided into three classes designated Class I, Class II and Class III. Each class shall consist, as nearly as possible, of one-third of the total number of such directors. Each director elected at the 2025 annual meeting of stockholders shall be elected for a term expiring at the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders. Each director elected at the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders shall be elected for a term expiring at the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders. At the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders and at each annual meeting of stockholders thereafter, all directors shall be elected for a term expiring at the next annual meeting of stockholders. Each director shall hold office until the annual meeting at which his or her term expires and until his or her successor shall be elected and qualified, or his or her death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office.




(b)Subject to the rights granted to the holders of any one or more series of Preferred Stock then outstanding, any newly-created directorship on the Board that results from an increase in the number of directors and any vacancy occurring in the Board (whether by death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal or other cause) shall be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, by a sole remaining director or by the stockholders; provided, however, that from and after the Trigger Event, any newly-created directorship on the Board that results from an increase in the number of directors and any vacancy occurring on the Board shall be filled only by a majority of the directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director (and not by the stockholders). Any director elected to fill a vacancy or newly created directorship shall hold office until, (i) prior to the date of the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders, the next election of the class for which such director shall have been chosen, and (ii) from and after the date of the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders, until the next succeeding annual meeting of stockholders, and in each case, until his or her successor shall be elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal.

(c)Any or all of the directors (other than the directors elected by the holders of any series of Preferred Stock of the Company, voting separately as a series or together with one or more other such series, as the case may be) may be removed at any time (i) prior to the date of the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders, only for cause, and (ii) following the date of the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders, either with or without cause, in each case, by the affirmative vote of a majority in voting power of all outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote thereon, with both Class A and Class B Common Stock holders voting together as a single class.

(d)Elections of directors need not be by written ballot unless the Bylaws shall so provide.

(e)During any period when the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, voting separately as a series or together with one or more series, have the right to elect additional directors, then upon commencement and for the duration of the period during which such right continues: (i) the then otherwise total authorized number of directors of the Company shall automatically be increased by such specified number of directors, and the holders of such Preferred Stock shall be entitled to elect the additional directors so provided for or fixed pursuant to said provisions, and (ii) each such additional director shall serve until such director’s successor shall have been duly elected and qualified, or until such director’s right to hold such office terminates pursuant to said provisions, whichever occurs earlier, subject to his or her earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal. Except as otherwise provided by the Board in the resolution or resolutions establishing such series, whenever the holders of any series of Preferred Stock having such right to elect additional directors are divested of such right pursuant to the provisions of such stock, the terms of office of all such additional directors elected by the holders of such stock, or elected to fill any vacancies resulting from the death, resignation, disqualification or removal of such additional directors, shall forthwith terminate and the total authorized number of directors of the Company shall be reduced accordingly.

THIRD: Article VII of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation is hereby amended and replaced to read in its entirety as follows:

“ARTICLE VII
LIMITATIONS OF DIRECTOR AND OFFICER LIABILITY

(a)To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as it now exists or may hereafter be amended, a director or officer of the Company shall not be personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty owed to the Company or its stockholders.

(b) Neither the amendment nor repeal of this Article VII, nor the adoption of any provision of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, nor, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, any modification of law shall eliminate, reduce or otherwise adversely affect any right or protection of a current or former director or officer of the Company existing at the time of such amendment, repeal, adoption or modification.”

FOURTH: This Certificate of Amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation has been duly adopted by the stockholders of the Corporation in accordance with the provisions of Section 242 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

FIFTH: All other provisions of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation shall remain in full force and effect.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has caused this Certificate of Amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to be duly executed by a duly authorized officer of the Corporation on this Second day of May, 2024.
