Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

As previously disclosed, in connection with SunPower Corporation’s (the “Company”) entry into the Second Lien Credit Agreement (as defined below), the Company agreed to issue to Sol Holding, LLC (the “Warrantholder”) warrants to purchase up to approximately 75.2 million shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), consisting of two tranches: (i) the first tranche (the “First Tranche Warrant”) consisting of a warrant exercisable for 41,752,640 shares of Common Stock (the “First Tranche Warrant Shares”) and (ii) the second tranche (the “Second Tranche Warrant”) consisting of an additional warrant exercisable for an aggregate of 33,402,112 shares of Common Stock (the “Second Tranche Warrant Shares” and together with the First Tranche Warrant Shares, the “Warrant Shares”). The First Tranche Warrant was issued on February 14, 2024 in connection with the Tranche 1 Second Lien Loans (as defined below) and, as of the date hereof, the Warrantholder has exercised such First Tranche Warrant in its entirety.

As a result of the Company drawing upon the Tranche 2 Second Lien Loans (as defined below) under the Second Lien Credit Agreement, the Company issued the Second Tranche Warrant to the Warrantholder under the Warrant to Purchase Common Stock, dated May 30, 2024 (the “Second Tranche Warrant to Purchase”). The Second Tranche Warrant is exercisable in whole or in part for Second Tranche Warrant Shares at an exercise price of $0.01 per share and expires on the tenth anniversary of issuance. The Warrantholder may pay the exercise price in cash or elect to exercise the Second Tranche Warrant on a “cashless” basis.

As previously disclosed, on February 14, 2024, in connection with the Second Lien Credit Agreement and the issuance of the First Tranche Warrant, the Company also entered into a registration rights agreement with the Warrantholder (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to prepare and file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a registration statement on Form S-1 or such other form as required on or prior to the date that is five (5) business days following the date on which the Company files its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, to register for resale the Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the First Tranche Warrant and the Second Tranche Warrant.

The terms of the Second Tranche Warrant, including rights associated with the Registration Rights Agreement, are substantially similar to the First Tranche Warrant, which such terms are more fully described in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on February 15, 2024.

The foregoing descriptions of the Second Tranche Warrant and Registration Rights Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Second Tranche Warrant to Purchase, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference and the Registration Rights Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.4 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on February 15, 2024, and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

As previously disclosed, on February 14, 2024, the Company entered into the Second Lien Credit Agreement, by and among the Company, certain of its subsidiaries as guarantors party thereto, the lenders party thereto, GLAS USA LLC, as Administrative Agent, and GLAS Americas, LLC, as Collateral Agent (the “Second Lien Credit Agreement”). Capitalized terms used but not defined in this section shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Second Lien Credit Agreement. The Second Lien Credit Agreement provides for an approximately $175.5 million term loan facility comprised of: (i) an approximately $125.5 million tranche of second lien term loans (“Tranche 1 Second Lien Loans”), which was borrowed on the closing date of the Second Lien Credit Agreement; and (ii) a second tranche of $50 million of second lien term loans (“Tranche 2 Second Lien Loans”).

On May 30, 2024, the Company borrowed $50 million of Tranche 2 Second Lien Loans, which consisted of all Tranche 2 Term Loan Commitments. The Second Lien Credit Agreement and loans thereunder are more fully described in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on February 15, 2024.

The foregoing descriptions of the Tranche 2 Second Lien Loans and the terms of the Second Lien Credit Agreement do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by, reference to the Second Lien Credit Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities.

The information contained above in Item 1.01 relating to the Second Tranche Warrant is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02. Such Second Tranche Warrant was offered and sold in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Rule 506

promulgated thereunder as transactions not involving a public offering, in reliance upon the following facts: no general solicitation was used in the offer or sale of such securities; the recipients of the securities had adequate access to information about the Company; each recipient of such securities represented its acquisition thereof as principal for its own account and its lack of any arrangements or understandings regarding the distribution of such securities; each recipient of such securities represented its capability of evaluating the merits of an investment in the Company’s securities due to its knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters; and such securities were issued as restricted securities with restricted legends referring to the Securities Act. No such securities may be offered or sold in the United States in the absence of an effective registration statement or exemption from applicable registration requirements. No statement in this document or the attached exhibits is an offer to purchase or sell or a solicitation of an offer to sell or buy the Company’s securities, and no offer, solicitation or sale will be made in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful.

Neither this Current Report on Form 8-K nor any exhibit attached hereto is an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company.
