Form 10-K Summary 95 Signatures 96 i EXPLANATORY NOTE As previously reported in Item 4.02 in the Company’s Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 14, 2026, on April 13, 2026, authorized officers of the Company and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors determined that the Company’s previously issued interim financial statements for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2025, the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025, and the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2025 (the “Prior Periods”) included in its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 30, 2025, June 29, 2025, and September 28, 2025 (the “Prior Filings”) contain material errors and should no longer be relied upon and should be restated. These material errors relate to the recognition of revenue (and related cost of revenues, sales commissions, sales and marketing, and general and administrative expenses) and interest expense. While the Company has corrected these material misstatements in the annual results included in accompanying Annual Report, the Company has not completed its review of the impact of these material errors to each of the Prior Periods included in the Prior Filings. The Company intends to restate the Prior Periods included in the Prior Filings as soon as practicable by filing amended Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the related periods. The Company has determined that these material errors were the result of its previously reported material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting related to the Company’s control activities, information and communication, and monitoring activities, which continue to exist as of December 28, 2025. See Risk Factor “We have identified material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting. As a result of these material weaknesses, we have identified material errors to our interim results for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2025, the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025, and the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2025 (the “Prior Periods”) and determined that the Prior Periods included in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 30, 2025, June 29, 2025, and September 28, 2025 should no longer be relied upon and should be restated. If we are unable to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, the accuracy and timeliness of our financial and operating reporting may be adversely affected, and confidence in our operations and disclosures may be lost.”, contained in Item 1A to this Annual Report, and “Management’s Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting” contained in Item 9A to this Annual Report for additional information related to the material weaknesses. ii SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS Certain statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K may constitute “forward-looking statements” for purposes of the federal securities laws.

This additional financing may not be available on acceptable terms or at all. Failure to obtain this necessary capital when needed may force us to curtail planned programs or cease operations entirely. ● Raising additional funds may cause dilution to existing stockholders and/or may restrict our operations or require us to relinquish proprietary rights. ● We have identified material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting. As a result of these material weaknesses, we have identified material errors to our interim results for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2025, the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025, and the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2025 (the “Prior Periods”) and determined that the Prior Periods included in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 30, 2025, June 29, 2025, and September 28, 2025 should no longer be relied upon and should be restated. If we are unable to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, the accuracy and timeliness of our financial and operating reporting may be adversely affected, and confidence in our operations and disclosures may be lost. ● We face risks related to the restatement of our previously issued quarterly financial statements. ● Our failure to prepare and timely file our periodic reports with the SEC limits our access to the public markets to raise debt or equity capital. ● Our business depends in part on the availability of rebates, tax credits and other financial incentives. The OBBA has materially reduced the availability of these rebates, credits or incentives, which may adversely impact our business. ● Macroeconomic conditions in our domestic and international markets, as well as inflation concerns, instability of financial institutions, rising interest rates, and recessionary concerns may adversely affect our industry, business and financial results. ● We have incurred losses and may be unable to achieve or sustain profitability in the future. ● We face competition from both traditional energy companies and renewable energy companies. ● Our growth strategy depends on the widespread adoption of solar power technology. ● We are exposed to the credit risk of customers and our finance partners, and payment delinquencies on accounts receivables. ● Any unauthorized access to or disclosure or theft of personal information we gather, store or use could harm our reputation and subject us to claims or litigation. ● Our success depends on the continuing contributions of key personnel, including Thurman J. Rodgers. If we are unable to attract and retain key employees and qualified personnel, our business and prospects could be harmed. ● Our operating results and ability to grow may fluctuate from quarter to quarter and year to year, which could make future performance difficult to predict and could cause operating results for a particular period to fall below expectations. v ● We may be subject to breaches of our information technology systems, which could lead to disclosure of internal information, damage to our reputation or relationships with dealers, suppliers, and customers, and disrupt access to online services. Such breaches could subject us to significant reputational, financial, legal, and operational consequences ● We are subject to legal proceedings and regulatory inquiries and may be named in additional claims or legal proceedings or become involved in regulatory inquiries, all of which are costly, distracting to our core business and could result in an unfavorable outcome or harm our business, financial condition, results of operations or the trading price for our securities. ● Our Directors, executive officers and principal stockholders will continue to have significant influence over our company, which could limit your ability to influence the outcome of key transactions, including a change of control. ● If we fail to meet all applicable requirements of Nasdaq and Nasdaq determines to delist our common stock, the delisting could adversely affect the market liquidity of our common stock and the market price of our common stock could decrease. ● We may be required to repurchase up to 5,618,488 shares of common stock from the investors with whom we entered into Forward Purchase Agreements in connection with the closing of the Business Combination, which would reduce the amount of cash available to us to fund our growth plan. ● Servicing our outstanding debt requires a significant amount of cash, and we may not have sufficient cash flow from our business to pay our substantial debt. ● The conversion features of the Convertible Senior Notes and Yorkville Notes may adversely affect our financial condition and operating results. ● Future sales (including potential sales of securities to White Lion pursuant to the White Lion Purchase Agreement and potential sales of securities to Yorkville pursuant to the Yorkville Purchase Agreement), or the perception of future sales, by us or our stockholders in the public market could cause the market price for the common stock to decline. vi PART I ITEM 1. BUSINESS Our Mission Our mission is to deliver energy-efficient solutions to homeowners and small to medium-sized businesses that allow them to lower their energy bills while reducing their carbon footprint. SunPower Inc. or SunPower, has created a unique, end-to-end offering that delivers a best-in-class customer experience with a robust technology platform, financing solutions, and high-performance solar equipment. Business Overview SunPower Inc. (the “Company”) is the rebranded name of Complete Solaria, Inc. The rebranding was effective April 22, 2025 and became legally effective on October 16, 2025. We are headquartered in Orem, Utah. Complete Solaria, Inc. (“Complete Solaria”) was formed in November 2022 through the merger of Complete Solar Holding Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Complete Solar”), and The Solaria Corporation, a Delaware corporation (such entity, “Solaria,” and such transaction, the “Business Combination”). Complete Solaria created a technology platform to offer clean energy products to homeowners by enabling a national network of sales partners and build partners. Our sales partners generate solar installation contracts with homeowners on our behalf. To facilitate this process, we provide the software tools, sales support and brand identity to our sales partners, making them competitive with national providers. We fulfill our customer contracts by engaging with local construction specialists and using our in-house installation experts. We manage the customer experience and complete all pre-construction activities prior to delivering build-ready projects including hardware, engineering plans, and building permits to our builder partners and in-house teams. In October 2023, we sold the solar panel assets of The Solaria Corporation, including intellectual property and customer contracts to Maxeon Solar Technologies, Ltd. (“Maxeon”) pursuant to the terms of an asset purchase agreement (the “Disposal Agreement”). Under the terms of the Disposal Agreement, Maxeon agreed to acquire certain assets and employees of Complete Solaria for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $11.0 million consisting of 1,100,000 shares of Maxeon ordinary shares. We expect to continue making acquisitions and entering into strategic partnerships as part of our long-term business strategy. For example, on September 24, 2025, we completed the purchase of all the membership interests of Sunder Energy, LLC (“Sunder”). Sunder provides a third-party solar energy sales force to initiate and execute contracts with customers throughout the United States. Sunder’s sales force works with solar installation companies in which Sunder acts as the agent for each transaction entered. Sunder earns revenue based on residential solar installation contracts for residential homeowners that are sold to installation companies in accordance with its contracts with those installation companies. Upon entering into a sales contract, the requisite performance obligation of Sunder is to assist the installation companies in the progress of the installation and obtain permission to operate. On November 21, 2025, we completed the purchase of all the membership interest of Ambia Energy, LLC (“Ambia”). Ambia is a residential solar energy system installer which operates in various markets throughout the United States. Ambia generates revenue from selling and installing solar energy systems or orchestrating the sale of a solar energy system which will be installed by a third party. On January 30, 2026, we completed the purchase of all of the equity interests of Cobalt Power Systems, Inc. (“Cobalt”). Cobalt is an installer of residential and commercial solar energy systems in the San Francisco Bay area. Cobalt generates revenue from the design and installation of solar power systems. 1 On August 5, 2024, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “APA”) among us and SunPower Corporation and its direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively, the “SunPower Debtors”) providing for the sale and purchase of certain assets relating to the Blue Raven Solar business, New Homes Business and Non-Installing Dealer network previously operated by the SunPower Debtors (the “Acquired SunPower Assets”). The APA was entered into in connection with a voluntary petition filed by SunPower under Chapter 11 of the United States Code, 11 U.S.C.§§ 101-1532. The sale was approved on September 23, 2024, by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. We completed the acquisition of the Acquired SunPower Assets effective September 30, 2024. The assets and businesses acquired by us under the APA are referred to as the “SunPower Businesses.” As part of the acquisition the Company acquired Albatross, an order-to-management proprietary software to manage our orders, fulfillment and customer service all in one central location. The acquisitions of Sunder, Ambia, Cobalt and SunPower Businesses are collectively referred to herein as “Acquisitions”. Revenue Model We offer solar system sales and installation to residential homeowners and the new home builders’ communities. The Acquisitions will allow us to accelerate our revenue growth and expand our footprint to deliver solar system sales into regions where we might have not previously done business. We sell solar systems to homeowners, home builders and small to medium-sized commercial customers through third-party sales partners. As a result of our acquisition of Sunder, we operate a solar energy sales force to initiate and execute contracts with customers throughout the United States. We manage every aspect of project management for those contracts before ultimately contracting with builder partners or using in-house installation experts to complete the construction and installation of the solar systems. This residential solar platform provides homeowners with simple pricing for solar energy that provides significant savings compared to traditional utility energy. Homeowners can choose from a wide array of system features and financing options that best meet their needs. By delivering the best-matched products and a best-in-class customer experience, we establish valuable customer relationships that can extend beyond the initial solar energy system purchase and provide us with opportunities to offer additional products and services in the future. Technology Innovation Since inception, we have continued to invest in a platform of services and tools to enable large-scale operations for sales and builder partners. The platform incorporates processes and software solutions that simplify and streamline design, proposals, and project management throughout the lifecycle of a residential solar project. The platform empowers new market entrants and smaller industry participants with its plug-and-play capabilities. The ecosystem we have built provides broad reach, and we believe it positions us for sustained and rapid growth through a capital-efficient business model. The network of our partners continues to expand today. We use salesforce.com to manage and fulfill orders which replaced our use of Albatross, the rights to which we acquired in connection with our acquisition of the SunPower Businesses. Albatross is a sales order platform which will be sunset later in 2026. Our acquisition of Sunder included Merdeka, a software platform which gives access from bookings to energization. We currently have this platform on view only and believe it has future potential as a differentiating option compared to our competition. Differentiation and Operating Results Delivering a differentiated customer experience is core to our strategy. It emphasizes a customized solution, including a design specific to each customer’s home and pricing configurations that typically drive both customer savings and value. Developing a trusted brand and providing a customized solar service offering resonates with customers accustomed to a traditional residential power market that is often overpriced and lacking in customer choice. Our overall mission is to deliver energy-efficient solutions to homeowners, home builders and small to medium-sized businesses that allow them to lower their energy bills while reducing their carbon footprint. We want to pass our operational costs savings back to our customers by keeping costs low in an environment where labor costs are rising and interest rates remain uncertain. These operational costs savings are attributed to the workforce that was acquired as part of the SunPower Acquisition. We expanded our operations center that supports operations, order process, customer care and support, credit and collections, procurement, vendor management and accounting related functions, and have rationalized our headcount. 2 Our Strategy Our strategy focuses on providing our sales partners with the software tools, sales support, and ability to compete effectively with national providers. This turnkey solution makes it easy for anyone to sell solar. Solar System Sales Solar System Sales are full systems sold to homeowners, home builders and small to medium-sized commercial businesses through our sales partner channels. We and our builder partners fulfill and install the systems. We believe that we can increase revenue by executing the following approaches: ● Increase revenue by expanding installation capacity and developing new geographic markets through our partner programs— Certain of our partners become builder partners who install systems resulting from sales generated by our sales partners. By leveraging this network of skilled builders, in addition to our in-house installation experts, we aim to increase our installation capacity in traditional markets and expand our offering into new geographies throughout the U.S. We believe this will enable greater sales growth in existing markets and create new revenue in expansion markets. ● Increase revenue and margin by engaging national-scale sales partners —We expect to create a consistent offering with a single execution process for national-scale sales partners throughout their territories, including in territories where we do not currently operate. These national accounts have unique customer relationships that will facilitate meaningful sales opportunities and low acquisition cost to increase revenue and improve margin. ● Increase revenue and margin by executing on a battery storage opportunity – We have an opportunity to increase our revenue and margin in the battery space through our partnership with Enphase. By providing homeowners with an option to include battery storage as part of their solar system install, we believe there will be a greater need for battery storage as the demand and costs of energy will increase. Our Strengths The following strengths position us to drive the mass adoption of residential solar in a manner that maximizes the value of our growing customer base over the long term: ● Platform of Services and Tools : A diversified and multi-pronged customer acquisition approach. This infrastructure underpins the ability to enjoy broad customer reach with a low system-wide cost structure and positions us for expansion to every market where distributed solar energy generation can offer homeowners savings versus traditional utility retail power. ● Differentiated Customer Experience : We offer a unique customer experience through various methods: customer-friendly solar service features, tailored designs and customizable pricing for each homeowner, a highly consultative sales process, and a focus on customer savings. ● Access to customers through third-party sales channels: The turn-key solar product offering, best-in-class customer service, and national footprint support third-party sales channels and strategic national partnerships. We provide solutions for sales channels seeking to expand their geographic reach and strengthen their relationships with their own customers. ● Skilled labor workforce: We invest in safety first and ensure that our labor workforce is not only proficient in construction and energy but has strong communication, problem-solving and customer service skills. This allows them not only to make decisions quickly onsite but allows them to be empowered to service our customers on the spot and timely. 3 Customer Service and Operations Solar System Sales We have made significant investments to create a platform of services and tools that addresses customer origination, system design and installation, and general customer support. Before a sales representative conducts a consultation, homeowners are pre-qualified based on a preliminary evaluation that considers a homeowner’s credit, home ownership, electricity usage and suitability of the roof based on age, condition, shading and pitch. Once a homeowner is pre-qualified, all necessary data is collected, and a proposal is generated for the homeowner. If a homeowner is interested in moving forward, a customer contract is generated for electronic execution. This contract then undergoes a final review before it is countersigned. Homeowners financing their purchase via a loan, lease or power purchase agreement submit applications to financial institutions and, upon credit approval, execute financing agreements between the homeowner and the financier. Once an agreement is fully executed, a site audit is performed at the home to inspect the condition of the roof, electrical equipment, and shading. Following this audit are a final system design plan and an application for any required building permits. The plans are reviewed to ensure they conform to the executed contract or to process a change order if required. A second production estimate is generated at that time and if the expected energy production exceeds or falls below the original estimate by certain thresholds, the homeowner agreement is modified accordingly. To reduce installation costs and operational risk, there are defined design and installation quality standards designed to ensure that homeowners receive a quality product, regardless of who installs the system. After the solar panels are installed, the customer care team follows up with the homeowner with a survey on their experience. If a system requires maintenance, we or a dedicated service-only contractor will visit the customer’s home and perform any necessary repairs or maintenance at no additional cost to the customer. Suppliers The main components of a residential solar energy system are the solar modules, inverters, and racking systems. We also offer battery storage and car chargers where it can benefit our customers. We generally purchase components from select distributors, which are then shipped to build partners for installation. There is a running list of approved suppliers in the event any of the sources for modules, inverters or other components become unavailable. If we fail to develop, maintain, and expand relationships with these or other suppliers, the ability to meet anticipated demand for solar energy systems may be adversely affected, or at higher costs or delayed. If one or more of the suppliers ceases or reduces production due to its financial condition, acquisition by a competitor or otherwise, it may be difficult to identify alternate suppliers quickly or to qualify alternative products on commercially reasonable terms, and the ability to satisfy this demand may be adversely affected. We screen all suppliers and components based on expected cost, reliability, warranty coverage, ease of installation, etc. We typically enter into master contract arrangements with major suppliers that define the general terms and conditions of purchases, including warranties, product specifications, indemnities, delivery and other customary terms. The declining cost of solar modules and the raw materials necessary to manufacture them have been a key driver in the prices charged for electricity and homeowner adoption of solar energy. If solar module and raw material prices do not continue to decline at the same rate as they have over the past several years, the resulting prices could slow growth and cause financial results to suffer. If we are required to pay higher prices for supplies, accept less favorable terms, or purchase solar modules or other system components from alternative, higher-priced sources, financial results may be adversely affected. We and our build partners are responsible for and source the other products related to solar energy systems, such as fasteners, wiring and electrical fittings. From time-to-time, we procure these other products related to solar energy systems for our own installation business. We manage inventory through just-in-time delivery, at local warehouses, and as segregated inventory at build partners. 4 The main components of a residential solar module are the solar cells. Our solar modules are generally manufactured by third-party select manufacturers and are purchased from distributors. Competition Our primary competitors are the traditional utilities that supply electricity to potential customers. We compete with these traditional utilities primarily based on price (cents per kilowatt hour), predictability of future prices (by providing pre-determined annual price escalations) and the ease by which homeowners can switch to electricity generated by solar energy systems. Based on these factors, we compete favorably with many traditional utilities. We compete for homeowner customers with other solar sales and installation companies and with solar companies with business models that are like ours. Our main competitors can be grouped broadly into (a) national, vertically integrated companies with established brands and proprietary consumer financing products; (b) small, local solar contractors who operate with relatively low fixed overhead expenses but who may lack systems, tools, and sophisticated product offerings; and (c) sales aggregators who engage with third-party sales companies to generate installation contracts. We compete favorably with these companies, with (a) better customer experience and better sales partner experience than the national vertically integrated companies; (b) better pricing and broader customer offerings than smaller local solar contractors; and (c) a better build partner experience than sales aggregators. We also face competition from purely finance-driven organizations that acquire homeowner customers and then subcontract out the installation of solar energy systems, installation businesses that seek financing from external parties, large construction companies and utilities and sophisticated electrical and roofing companies. Intellectual Property We seek to protect our intellectual property rights by relying on federal, state and common law rights in the U.S. and other countries, as well as contractual restrictions. We generally enter into confidentiality and invention assignment agreements with employees and contractors, and confidentiality agreements with other third parties, to limit access to, and disclosure and use of, confidential information and proprietary technology. In addition to these contractual arrangements, we also rely on a combination of trademarks, trade dress, domain names, copyrights, and trade secrets to help protect the brand and other intellectual property. Government Regulations and Incentives Governments have used different public policy mechanisms to accelerate the adoption and use of solar power. Examples of customer-focused financial mechanisms include capital cost rebates, performance-based incentives, feed-in tariffs, tax credits, renewable portfolio standards, net metering, and carbon regulations. Some of these government mandates and economic incentives are scheduled to be reduced or to expire or could be eliminated. Capital cost rebates provide funds to customers based on the cost and size of a customer’s solar power system. Performance-based incentives provide funding to a customer based on the energy produced by their solar power system. Feed-in tariffs pay customers for solar power system generation based on energy produced at a rate generally guaranteed for a period of time. Tax credits reduce a customer’s taxes at the time the taxes are due. Renewable portfolio standards mandate that a certain percentage of electricity delivered to customers comes from eligible renewable energy resources. Net metering allows customers to deliver to the electric grid any excess electricity produced by their on-site solar power systems and to be credited for that excess electricity at or near the full retail price of electricity. Carbon regulations, including cap-and-trade and carbon pricing programs, increase the cost of fossil fuels, which release climate-altering carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions during combustion. In addition to the mechanisms described above, there are various incentives for homeowners and businesses to adopt solar power in The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IRA”). On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBBA”) was enacted and significantly modified this framework by accelerating the phase-out or termination of certain federal tax incentives and introducing additional eligibility requirements and compliance obligations. In particular, the OBBBA accelerates the termination of the clean electricity investment tax credit and production tax credit for applicable solar facilities, generally limiting availability to projects that begin construction by July 4, 2026 or are placed in service by December 31, 2027, and terminates the residential clean energy credit for property installed after December 31, 2025. The OBBBA also introduces additional restrictions relating to certain foreign entities of concern (“FEOC”) and supply chain sourcing, which may affect project eligibility and increase compliance costs. Moreover, in Europe, the European Commission has mandated that its member states adopt integrated national climate and energy plans to increase their renewable energy targets to be achieved by 2030, which could benefit the deployment of solar. However, the U.S. and European Union, among others, have imposed tariffs or other import duties on solar products, or are evaluating the imposition of such duties on solar panels, solar cells, polysilicon, and other components. These import duties may offset the incentives described above and increase the price of our solar products. 5 Employees and Human Capital Resources As of December 28, 2025, we had 785 employees on a full-time basis. We also engage independent contractors and consultants. No employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements. There have not been any work stoppages. Our human capital resources objectives include identifying, recruiting, retaining, training, and integrating our existing and new employees. The principal purposes of our equity incentive plans are to attract, retain and motivate personnel through the granting of equity-based awards, increasing stockholder value and the success of our Company by motivating such individuals to perform to the best of their abilities and achieve SunPower’s objectives. Facilities Our corporate headquarters and executive offices are located in Orem, Utah. We lease all the facilities and own no real property. We believe that our current facilities are adequate to meet ongoing needs. If additional space is required, we believe that we will be able to obtain additional facilities on commercially reasonable terms. U.S. Corporate Information We were originally known as Freedom Acquisition I Corp (“FACT”). We are engaged in solar system sales and associated commerce. On July 18, 2023, Complete Solaria, FACT, and certain other entities consummated the transactions contemplated under that certain amended and restated Business Combination Agreement, dated as of May 26, 2023, following the approval at the special meeting of the stockholders of FACT held July 11, 2023. In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, we changed our name from Freedom Acquisition I Corp. to Complete Solaria, Inc. Our principal executive offices are located at 1403 N. Research Way, Orem UT 84097, and our telephone number is (877) 299-4943. Access to Company Information We file or furnish periodic reports and amendments thereto, including our Annual Reports on Form 10-K, our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K, proxy statements and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In addition, the SEC maintains a website (www.sec.gov) that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically. Our internet address is https://us.sunpower.com. Through our internet website, we make available, free of charge, our Annual Report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and all amendments to those reports as soon as reasonably practicable after such reports have been filed with or furnished to the SEC. The information on our website is not a part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. 6 ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below together with all of the other information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including our consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K and in the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” before deciding to invest in our securities. If any of the events or developments described below were to occur, our business, prospects, operating results and financial condition could suffer materially, the trading price of our securities could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial may also adversely affect our business. You should not interpret our disclosure of any of the following risks to imply that such risks have not already materialized. Risks Related to our Businesses and Industry We have a history of losses that may continue in the future; our management has identified conditions that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern; and we may not achieve profitability or generate positive cash flow. Since our inception, we have incurred losses and negative cash flows from operations. We incurred a net loss from continuing operations of $40.6 million in the fiscal year ended December 28, 2025, and have an accumulated deficit of $456.7 million. We have accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $56.6 million, current debt of $24.3 million, and notes payable and derivative liabilities, net of current portion of $155.3 million, as of December 28, 2025, as well as other current and long-term liabilities (including the $9.5 million liability we recorded relating to a litigation matter with Siemens). We had cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash, of $9.6 million as of December 28, 2025, which was held for working capital expenditures. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern requires that we obtain sufficient funding, either through external financial transactions or cash flows generated from operations, to meet our obligations and finance our operations. If we are not able to secure adequate additional funding, either through external financial transactions or cash flows generated from operations, when needed, we will need to reevaluate our operating plan and may be forced to make reductions in spending, extend payment terms with suppliers, liquidate assets where possible, or suspend or curtail planned programs or cease operations entirely. These actions could materially impact our business, results of operations and future prospects. There can be no assurance that in the event we require additional financing, such financing will be available on terms that are favorable, or at all. We may not achieve profitability or positive cash flow for a number of reasons, including declines in revenue, as well as increases in costs of our products, U.S. and global macroeconomic trends, including with respect to the impact of U.S. trade tariffs and the imposition of additional tariffs applicable to our industry or our products. In addition, we may be unable to identify further cost savings opportunities below present levels that would not adversely impact the functioning of our existing operations needed to meet customer and regulatory requirements. If we fail to generate sufficient revenue to support our operations, we may not be able to achieve profitability or generate sufficient cash flow to meet our financial obligations and our liquidity position will be negatively impacted. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources” and “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (1) Organization – (c) Liquidity and Going Concern” for a further discussion of the other factors that may impact our liquidity position. Failure to generate sufficient cash flows from operations, raise additional capital or reduce certain discretionary spending would have a material adverse effect on our ability to achieve our intended business objectives. 7 We may need to raise additional funding to finance our operations. This additional financing may not be available on acceptable terms or at all. Failure to obtain this necessary capital when needed may force us to curtail planned programs or cease operations entirely. Our operations have consumed significant amounts of cash since inception. We expect to incur significant operating expenses as we continue to grow our business, including expenses incurred in connection with acquisitions and the further integration of acquired businesses, including the SunPower Businesses, Sunder, Ambia and Cobalt. We anticipate that our operating losses and negative operating cash flows will continue into the foreseeable future. We had cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash, of $9.6 million as of December 28, 2025. Our cash position raises substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern for 12 months after the consolidated financial statements issuance. Further, we cannot guarantee that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations to fund our operations or liquidity needs. Over time, we expect that we will need to raise additional funds through the issuance of additional equity, equity-related or debt securities or through obtaining credit from financial institutions to fund, together with our principal sources of liquidity, any significant unplanned or accelerated expenses and new strategic investments. We will require substantial additional capital to continue operations. Such additional capital might not be available when we need it and our actual cash requirements might be greater than anticipated. Additionally, the ability to raise additional financing depends on numerous factors that are outside our control, including general economic and market conditions, interest rates, the health of financial institutions, investors’ and lenders’ assessments of our prospects and the prospects of the solar industry in general. We cannot be certain that additional capital will be available on attractive terms, if at all, when needed, which could be dilutive to stockholders, and our financial condition, results of operations, business and prospects could be materially and adversely affected. If the financial markets become difficult or costly to access, including due to rising interest rates, inflation, fluctuations in exchange rates or other changes in geopolitical or economic conditions, including, without limitation, with respect to tariffs and trade policies, our ability to raise additional capital may be negatively impacted. Our failure to raise capital in the future would have a negative impact on our ability to expand our business. Raising additional funds may cause dilution to existing stockholders and/or may restrict our operations or require us to relinquish proprietary rights. To the extent that we raise additional capital by issuing equity, convertible debt or other convertible securities, our existing stockholders may experience substantial dilution, and the terms of these issued securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our existing common stockholders. For example, we may issue debt or equity securities under our shelf registration statement, through our at-the-market offering facility, through our existing equity line of credit with White Lion, through our standby equity purchase facility with Yorkville or we may issue additional debt or equity securities in private transactions. Any agreements for future debt or preferred equity financings, if available, may involve covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as raising additional capital, incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. Our ability to use our at-the-market offering facility or shelf registration statement are currently constrained by the size of our non-affiliate market capitalization, our trading volume and other factors, and there can be no assurance regarding the price at which we will be able to sell such shares, and any sales of our common stock under our at-the-market offering facility, and any offerings we might complete under our shelf registration statement, may be at prices that result in additional dilution to our existing stockholders. Further, as a result of our current ineligibility to use Form S-3, we currently cannot use our at-the-market offering facility or conduct securities offerings using our shelf registration statement. If we incur additional debt, the debt holders, together with holders of our outstanding Convertible Senior Notes and the Yorkville Notes (each as defined below), would have rights senior to holders of common stock to make claims on our assets, and the terms of any future debt could restrict our operations, including our ability to pay dividends on our common stock. We have identified material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting. As a result of these material weaknesses, we identified material errors to our interim results for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2025, the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025, and the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2025 (the “Prior Periods”) and we have determined that the Prior Periods included in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 30, 2025, June 29, 2025, and September 28, 2025 should no longer be relied upon and should be restated. If we are unable to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, the accuracy and timeliness of our financial and operating reporting may be adversely affected, and confidence in our operations and disclosures may be lost. In connection with the preparation and audit of our financial statements for the year ended December 28, 2025, our management identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that a reasonable possibility exists that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weaknesses are as follows: We did not maintain controls to execute the criteria established in the COSO Framework for (i) the control environment, (ii) control activities, (iii) information and communication, and (iv) monitoring activities. 8 Each of the control deficiencies identified below constitute a material weakness, either individually or in the aggregate. Control Environment . Our Company did not maintain an effective control environment and identified the following material weakness: our Company lacked appropriate policies and resources to develop and operate effective internal control over financial reporting and a lack of appropriate and consistent IT policies given the significant volume of financially relevant IT changes, which contributed to our Company’s inability to properly analyze, record and disclose accounting matters timely and accurately. Control Activities. Our Company did not design and implement effective control activities and identified the following material weakness: ● Ineffective design and operation of certain control activities due to significant personnel changes throughout fiscal 2025. Control deficiencies, which aggregate to a material weakness, occurred within substantially all areas of financial reporting. Information and Communication. Our Company did not design and implement effective information and communication activities and identified the following material weaknesses : ● Our Company did not design and maintain effective general information technology controls over logical access and program change management for our key information systems used to support the financial reporting process. Specifically, management did not maintain effective controls to ensure proper segregation of duties related to user administration and other privileged access functions and in implementing program changes in information systems. Due to the pervasive nature of these deficiencies, business process controls that are dependent upon information from these systems were also not effective. ● Our Company did not have adequate processes and controls for communicating information among the accounting, finance, operations, and legal departments, necessary to support the proper functioning of internal controls. Monitoring Activities. Our Company did not design and implement effective monitoring activities and identified the following material weaknesses: (i) failure to adequately monitor compliance with accounting policies, procedures and controls related to substantially all areas of financial reporting; and (ii) failure to properly select, develop and perform ongoing evaluations of the components of internal controls (including the monitoring of service providers’ control environments). These material weaknesses described in the paragraphs above contributed to material accounting errors identified and corrected during the audit of our financial statements. Additionally, in connection with the preparation of our audited financial statements for the year ended December, 28, 2025, and as a result of these material weaknesses, we identified material errors to our interim results for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2025, the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025, and the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2025 (the “Prior Periods”) and we determined that the Prior Periods included in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 30, 2025, June 29, 2025, and September 28, 2025 (the “Prior Filings”) should no longer be relied upon and should be restated. As a result, the Company will restate the financial statements included in the Prior Filings. If we fail to adequately remediate these material weaknesses, there could be material misstatements that may not be prevented or detected. 9 We have taken certain steps, such as recruiting additional personnel, in addition to utilizing third-party consultants and specialists, to supplement our internal resources, to enhance our internal control environment and plan to take additional steps to remediate the material weaknesses. Although we plan to complete this remediation process as quickly as possible, we cannot estimate how long it will take. We cannot provide assurance that the measures we have taken to date, and may take in the future, will be sufficient to remediate the control deficiencies that led to our material weakness in internal control over financial reporting or that such measures will prevent or avoid potential future material weaknesses. If we are not able to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting and Disclosure Controls and procedures, or if material weaknesses are discovered in future periods, a risk that is significantly increased in light of the complexity of our business, we may be unable to accurately and timely report our financial position, results of operations, cash flows or key operating metrics, which could result in late filings of the annual and quarterly reports under the Exchange Act (and which would limit our ability to use Form S-3 and make impact the availability of Rule 144), restatements of financial statements or other corrective disclosures, an inability to access commercial lending markets, defaults under convertible notes and outstanding loans and other agreements, or other material adverse effects on our business, reputation, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity. We face risks related to the restatement of our previously issued quarterly financial statements. As a result of our determination that the Prior Filings should no longer be relied upon and should be restated, we face a number of additional risks and uncertainties, which may affect investor confidence in the accuracy of our financial disclosures and may raise reputation issues for our business. For example, we may face potential litigation or other disputes, which may include claims relating to federal and state securities laws, contractual claims and other claims arising from the restatement of the Prior Filings and the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements. As we undertake such restatements of the Prior Filings, we may discover additional errors in the Prior Filings. We cannot ensure that all of the risks and challenges described above will be eliminated or that general reputational harm will not persist. If one or more of the foregoing risks or challenges persist, our business, operations and financial condition are likely to be materially and adversely affected. Our failure to prepare and timely file our periodic reports with the SEC limits our access to the public markets to raise debt or equity capital. We did not file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2024 within the timeframe required by the SEC, our Quarterly Report on Form 10Q for the quarter ended September 28, 2025 or the amendment required to our Current Report originally filed on September 26, 2025 relating to the Sunder acquisition. Accordingly, we are not currently eligible to use a registration statement on Form S-3 that would allow us to continuously incorporate by reference our SEC reports into the registration statement, to use “shelf” registration statements to conduct offerings, or to use our at-the-market offering facility until approximately one year from the date we have regained and maintain status as a current filer. Our inability to use Form S-3 may significantly impair our ability to raise necessary capital to fund our operations and execute our strategy. If we seek to access the capital markets through a registered offering during the period of time that we are unable to use Form S-3, we may be required to publicly disclose the proposed offering and the material terms thereof before the offering commences, we may experience delays in the offering process due to SEC review of a Form S-1 registration statement and we may incur increased offering and transaction costs and other considerations. If we are unable to raise capital through a registered offering, we would be required to conduct our equity financing transactions on a private placement basis, which may be subject to pricing, size and other limitations imposed under the Nasdaq rules, or seek other sources of capital. The foregoing limitations on our financing approaches could prevent us from pursuing transactions or implementing business strategies that would be beneficial to our business. Changes in international trade policies, tariffs, or trade disputes could significantly and adversely affect our business, revenues, margins, results of operations, and cash flows. On February 7, 2018, safeguard tariffs on imported solar cells and modules (“ CSPV ”) went into effect pursuant to Proclamation 9693, which approved recommendations to provide relief to U.S. manufacturers and impose safeguard tariffs on imported solar cells and modules, based on the investigations, findings, and recommendations of the U.S. International Trade Commission (the “ International Trade Commission ”). On February 4, 2022, then President Biden issued Proclamation 10339 extending the existing safeguard measures on U.S. imports of CSPV products by an additional four years until February 6, 2026. Prior to the termination of the safeguard tariffs, modules were subject to a tariff rate of approximately 15%. Cells were subjected to a tariff-rate quota, under which the first 5 GW of cell imports each year was exempt from tariffs, and cells imported after the 5 GW quota was reached were subject to the same approximately 15% tariff as modules in the first year, with the same 0.25% decline in each of the three subsequent years. The tariff-free cell quota applied globally, without any allocation by country or region. While solar cells and modules based on interdigitated back contact technology were excluded from these safeguard tariffs, our solar products based on other technologies continue were subject to the safeguard tariffs until February 6, 2026. 10 Solar cells and panels from various countries continue to be subject to U.S. antidumping, and countervailing duty (AD/CVD) actions in the United States. The U.S. Department of Commerce (the “ Department of Commerce ”) maintains antidumping and countervailing duty orders on solar cells as well as panels produced in China. In 2022, the Department of Commerce found that solar product producers in Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam were circumventing the China AD/CVD actions. As a result, imports of solar products from these countries may be treated as if they are of Chinese origin and therefore subject to the aforementioned antidumping and countervailing duty orders. On June 6, 2022, then President Biden issued an Executive Order allowing U.S. solar installers to import solar modules and cells from Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam free from certain duties for 24 months, along with other incentives designed to accelerate U.S. domestic production of clean energy technologies. This moratorium ended in June 2024 and China-wide AD/CVD action now applies to imports from those countries that contain Chinese-origin inputs. Additionally, on December 29, 2023, Auxin and Concept Clean Energy, Inc. filed suit in the U.S. Court of International Trade challenging the legal basis for the moratorium and implementing regulations. In August 2025 the Court of International Trade found the moratorium on the collection of AD/CVD duties to be unlawful and ordered retroactive collection of duties that should have been paid during that period. The retroactive collection of duties was stayed pending appeal. On February 9, 2026, the U.S. government withdrew its appeal of that decision, but other parties continue to pursue the appeal. In addition, on May 15, 2024 the Department of Commerce and the U.S. International Trade Commission initiated antidumping and countervailing duty investigations of CSPV products from Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam. Both the Department of Commerce and the U.S. International Trade Commission made affirmative findings for all countries. On June 24, 2025, the Department of Commerce imposed antidumping and countervailing duty orders on CSPV products from all four countries. Duty rates range zero to over 100% antidumping duties and approximately 15% to over 3000% countervailing duties depending on the company and country. Antidumping and countervailing duties are assessed retroactively and thus final assessment of duties on imports made after June 2025 will be determined in future proceedings by the Department of Commerce. The high AD/CVD duty rates, together with uncertainty surrounding the implications of existing tariffs affecting the U.S. solar market and potential trade tensions between the U.S. and other countries has caused and is likely to cause further market volatility, price fluctuations, supply shortages, and project delays, any of which could harm our business, and the pursuit of mitigating actions may divert substantial resources from other projects. Further, the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act may inhibit importation of certain solar modules or components. In addition, the imposition of tariffs is likely to result in a wide range of impacts to the U.S. solar industry and the global manufacturing market, as well as our business in particular. Such tariffs could materially increase the price of our solar products and result in significant additional costs to the Company, its resellers, and the resellers’ customers, which could cause a significant reduction in demand for our solar power products and greatly reduce our competitive advantage. Our business depends in part on the availability of rebates, tax credits and other financial incentives. The OBBA has materially reduced the availability of these rebates, credits or incentives, which may adversely impact our business. U.S. federal, state and local government bodies provide incentives to end users, distributors, system integrators and manufacturers of solar energy systems to promote solar electricity in the form of rebates, tax credits and other financial incentives such as system performance payments, payments for renewable energy credits associated with renewable energy generation and the exclusion of solar energy systems from property tax assessments. These incentives enable us to lower the price charged to customers for energy and for solar energy systems. However, these incentives may expire on a particular date, end when the allocated funding is exhausted or be reduced or terminated as solar energy adoption rates increase. These reductions or terminations often occur without warning. The IRA extended and modified prior law applicable to U.S. federal tax credits that are available with respect to solar energy systems. Under the IRA, the following tax credits were generally available: (i) a production tax credit under Code Section 45 (for facilities that began construction before January 1, 2025) and Code Section 45Y (for facilities that were place in service after December 31, 2024) (the “PTC”)with respect to electricity produced from certain qualifying facilities, (ii) an investment tax credit under Code Section 48 (for facilities that begin construction before January 1, 2025) and Code Section 48E (for facilities that are placed in service after December 31, 2024) (the “ITC”) in connection with the installation of certain solar facilities and energy storage technology, and (iii) a residential clean energy credit (the “Section 25D Credit”) in connection with the installation of qualifying property that uses solar energy to generate electricity for residential use. On July 4, 2025, the “OBBBA was enacted and significantly modified the IRA’s clean energy incentive framework by accelerating the termination of certain credits and adding new eligibility restrictions and compliance burdens. The OBBBA effectively repealed, on an accelerated timeline, key federal tax incentives for solar projects by curtailing eligibility for the clean electricity PTC and ITC for applicable solar facilities placed in service after December 31, 2027 (subject to grandfathering for projects that begin construction by July 4, 2026) and by terminating the Section 25D Credit after 2025. With respect to the PTC, solar energy projects that began construction before January 1, 2025 generally remain eligible for the PTC under Section 45 (as amended by the IRA) and generally are not subject to the accelerated phaseouts or other limitations introduced by the OBBBA. The PTC available to a taxpayer in 2024 and prior taxable years under Code Section 45 generally is equal to a certain rate multiplied by the kilowatt hours of electricity produced by the taxpayer from solar energy at a facility owned by it and sold to an unrelated party during that taxable year. The base rates for the PTC under Code Section 45 is 0.3 cents (adjusted for inflation). This rate is increased to 1.5 cents (adjusted for inflation) for projects that (i) have a maximum net output of less than one megawatt (measured in alternating current), (ii) begin construction before January 29, 2023, and (iii) meet certain prevailing wage and apprenticeship requirements. It also may be increased for projects that include a certain percentage of components produced in the U.S. and projects that are located in certain energy communities, in each case subject to applicable requirements and IRS guidance. 11 The PTC under Code Section 45Y, the successor to Code Section 45 that is applicable for facilities placed in service after December 31, 2024, generally is similar to the PTC under Code Section 45 but includes certain different terms and qualification requirements. The PTC amount under Code Section 45Y generally is equal to the PTC outlined above for Code Section 45, including the availability of the same increased credit rates under the same circumstances. The PTC under Code Section 45Y applies to kilowatt hours of electricity produced at a “qualified facility,” which generally is a facility, such as a solar energy facility, that generates electricity and has a greenhouse gas emission rate that is not greater than zero. Under the OBBBA, solar facilities that begin construction after July 4, 2026 (one year after enactment of the OBBBA) are ineligible for the Code Section 45Y credit if placed in service after December 31, 2027. Facilities that begin construction prior to July 4, 2026 are not subject to this accelerated placed-in-service deadline. In addition, IRS guidance interpreting these OBBBA termination provisions imposes more stringent “beginning of construction” requirements, increasing the risk that projects may fail to qualify if development timelines slip or if the taxpayer cannot satisfy the applicable standards. Moreover, the OBBBA denies the Code Section 45Y for certain leased residential solar water heating property (while generally excluding leased solar electric generating property from that denial). A facility is not eligible for the PTC under Code Section 45Y if a tax credit already is allowed with respect to the facility under Code Section 45, 48 or 48E (or certain other tax credit provisions) for the taxable year or any prior taxable year. With respect to the ITC, solar energy projects that began construction before January 1, 2025 generally remain eligible for the ITC under Section 48 and are not subject to the accelerated phaseouts or other limitations introduced by the OBBBA. The ITC available under Code Section 48E is the successor provision of Code Section 48 and is applicable for investments in facilities placed in service after December 31, 2024. The ITC under Code Section 48E generally is similar to the ITC outlined above under Code Section 48 in structure, including generally providing for the same increased credit rates under the same circumstances. The ITC under Code Section 48E applies to investments in a “qualified facility” and “energy storage technology”. A “qualified facility” for these purposes generally is the same as described above for the PTC under Code Section 45Y and “energy storage technology” is defined by reference to such term in Code Section 48. Similar to Section 45Y, solar facilities that begin construction after July 4, 2026 (one year after enactment) are ineligible for the Section 48E credit if placed in service after December 31, 2027. This placed-in-service deadline would not apply to energy storage technology. Moreover, the OBBBA denies the Code Section 48E for certain leased residential solar water heating property (while generally excluding leased solar electric generating property from that denial). The ITC under Code Section 48E is subject to recapture if the Internal Revenue Service determines that the greenhouse gas emissions rate for the facility exceeds a certain threshold. A facility is not eligible for the ITC under Code Section 48E if a tax credit already is allowed with respect to the facility under Code Section 45, 45Y or 48 (or certain other tax credit provisions) for the taxable year or any prior taxable year. Under the IRA, the Section 25D Credit available to a taxpayer is equal to the “applicable percentage” of expenditures for property that uses solar energy to generate electricity for use in a dwelling unit located in the U.S. and used as a residence by the taxpayer. The applicable percentage is 26% for such systems that are placed in service before January 1, 2022 and 30% for such systems that are placed in service after December 31, 2021. As modified by the OBBBA, the Section 25D Credit terminated with respect to expenditures made after December 31, 2025, and an expenditure generally is treated as made when the original installation of the property is completed (or, in certain cases, when construction or reconstruction is completed and the taxpayer’s original use of the structure begins). The unavailability of the Section 25D Credit for systems when installation is completed after December 31, 2025 likely will impact the prices of our solar energy systems and overall value proposition our solar systems provide to customers. The OBBBA also introduces additional restrictions relating to certain FEOC and supply chain sourcing, which may affect project eligibility and increase compliance costs. On February 12, 2026, the U.S. Treasury Department and Internal Revenue Service released IRS Notice 2026-15, which provides additional guidance regarding the prohibited foreign entity (“PFE”) rules under the OBBBA. In particular, this notice establishes interim safe harbors for determining whether a project receives material assistance from a PFE, including guidance on calculation of the Material Assistance Cost Ratio. While this guidance reduces certain uncertainties, it is interim in nature, and further rulemaking, including a notice of proposed rulemaking and final regulations expected later in 2026, may modify or replace this framework. Such future guidance could impose more restrictive requirements or additional compliance burdens, which may increase our costs and adversely affect our ability, or our customers’ ability, to qualify for applicable tax credits. If we or our customers are unable to satisfy the PFE or related eligibility requirements, it could materially and adversely affect our revenues, results of operations, cash flows and the overall demand for our products. The OBBBA has materially reduced the governmental incentives available to participants in the solar industry, which is likely to adversely affect the results of our operations and our ability to compete in this industry by increasing the cost of capital, causing us to increase the prices of our energy and solar energy systems and reduce the size of our addressable market. Even where incentives remain available, evolving statutory requirements and administrative guidance may create uncertainty, increase compliance costs, and delay or reduce tax credit financing, which could disrupt project timelines and harm our liquidity. Moreover, the U.S. federal tax credits discussed above have complex legal and operational requirements, including with respect to “beginning of construction” and placed-in-service requirements. There also may be uncertainty as to how such requirements promulgated under the IRA or the OBBBA are interpreted. If Internal Revenue Service guidance regarding implementation of the IRA or the OBBBA is viewed by investors as unclear, tax credit financing may be delayed or downsized, harming our ability to secure financing for customers. Our failure to either (i) interpret the new requirements under the IRA and the OBBBA regarding among other things, timing of construction, prevailing wage, apprenticeship, domestic content, siting in an “energy community,” accurately or (ii) adequately update our supply-chain, manufacturing, installation, and record-keeping processes to meet such requirements, may result a partial or full reduction in the related U.S. federal tax benefit, and our customers, financiers and shareholders may require us to indemnify them for certain of such reductions. 12 We are an “emerging growth company” and a “smaller reporting company” and we cannot be certain if the reduced reporting requirements applicable to these companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors. We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (JOBS Act). For as long as we continue to be an emerging growth company, we intend to take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements that apply to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including: ● not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended (the “ Sarbanes-Oxley Act ”); ● not being required to comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “ PCAOB ”) regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements; ● reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements; and ● exemptions from the requirements of holding nonbinding advisory stockholder votes on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can also delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have elected to avail ourselves of this exemption from new or revised accounting standards and, therefore, will not be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. As a result, our financial statements may be different from companies that comply with the new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest to occur of: (1) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have at least $1.235 billion in total annual gross revenues; (2) the date we qualify as a “large accelerated filer,” with at least $700.0 million of equity securities held by non-affiliates; (3) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period; and (4) the last day of the fiscal year ending after the fifth anniversary of our IPO. Even after we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, we may still qualify as a “smaller reporting company,” as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”), which generally would allow us to continue to take advantage of many of the same exemptions from disclosure requirements, including providing only two years of audited financial statements, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation our periodic reports and proxy statements, unless we are also an accelerated filer, in which case different requirements will apply. We cannot predict if investors will find our securities less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our securities and the trading price of our securities may be more volatile. Macroeconomic conditions in our domestic and international markets, as well as inflation concerns, instability of financial institutions, rising interest rates, and recessionary concerns may adversely affect our industry, business and financial results. Our business depends on the overall demand for our solar energy products and on the economic health and willingness of our customers and potential customers to purchase our products and services. As a result of macroeconomic or market uncertainty, including inflation concerns, rising interest rates, recessionary concerns, and geopolitical conflicts, customers may decide to delay purchasing our products and services or not purchase at all. In addition, a number of the risks associated with our business, which are disclosed in these risk factors, may increase in likelihood, magnitude or duration, and we may face new risks that we have not yet identified. 13 In the past, unfavorable macroeconomic and market conditions have resulted in sustained periods of decreased demand. Macroeconomic and market conditions could be adversely affected by a variety of political, economic or other factors in the U.S. and international markets, which could, in turn, adversely affect spending levels of installers and end users and could create volatility or deteriorating conditions in the markets in which we operate. Macroeconomic uncertainty or weakness could result in: ● reduced demand for our products as a result of constraints on spending for solar energy systems by our customers and/or a reduction in government subsidies for renewable energy investments; ● increased price competition for our products that may adversely affect revenue, gross margin and profitability; ● the introduction of any disadvantageous trade regulations and import duties and tariffs; ● decreased ability to forecast operating results and make decisions about budgeting, planning and future investments; ● decrease in the popularity of solar energy as a green energy solution; ● business and financial difficulties faced by our suppliers or other partners, including impacts to material costs, sales, liquidity levels, ability to continue investing in their businesses, ability to import or export goods, ability to meet development commitments and manufacturing capability; and ● increased overhead and production costs as a percentage of revenue. Reductions in customer spending in response to unfavorable or uncertain macroeconomic and market conditions, globally or in a particular region where we operate, would adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Existing regulations and policies, including trade policies and tariffs, and changes to these regulations and policies, including changes to trade policies and tariffs, may present technical, regulatory, and economic barriers to the purchase and use of solar power products, which may significantly reduce demand for our products and services. The market for electric generation products is heavily influenced by federal, state and local government laws, geopolitical forces (such as trade policies and tariffs), regulations and policies concerning the electric utility industry in the U.S. and abroad, as well as policies promulgated by electric utilities. These regulations and policies often relate to electricity pricing and technical interconnection of customer-owned electricity generation, and trade and policy changes that make solar power less competitive with other power sources could deter investment in the research and development of alternative energy sources as well as customer purchases of solar power technology, which could in turn result in a significant reduction in the demand for our solar power products. The market for electric generation equipment is also influenced by geopolitics, trade and local content laws, policies and tariffs, regulations and policies that can discourage growth and competition in the solar industry and create economic barriers to the purchase of solar power products, thus reducing demand for our solar products. In addition, on-grid applications depend on access to the grid, which is also regulated by government entities. We anticipate that our solar power products and our installation will continue to be subject to oversight and regulation in accordance with federal, state, local and foreign regulations relating to construction, safety, environmental protection, utility interconnection and metering, trade, and related matters. It is difficult to track the requirements of individual states or local jurisdictions and design equipment to comply with the varying standards. In addition, the U.S. and European Union, among others, have imposed tariffs or are in the process of evaluating the imposition of tariffs on solar panels, solar cells, polysilicon, and potentially other components. These and any other tariffs or similar taxes or duties may increase the price of our solar products and adversely affect our cost reduction roadmap, which could harm our results of operations and financial condition. We cannot predict what actions may be taken by the United States or other countries with respect to trade policies and tariffs or with respect to other policies and incentives that impact the solar industry, or that promote other forms of energy production over the solar industry. Any new regulations or policies pertaining our solar power products may result in significant additional expenses for our customers, which could cause a significant reduction in demand for our solar power products. 14 We rely on net metering and related policies to offer competitive pricing to customers in many of our current markets and changes to net metering policies may significantly reduce demand for electricity from residential solar energy systems. Net metering is one of several key policies that have enabled the growth of distributed generation solar energy systems in the U.S., providing significant value to customers for electricity generated by their residential solar energy systems but not directly consumed on-site. Net metering allows a homeowner to pay his or her local electric utility for power usage net of production from the solar energy system or other distributed generation source. Homeowners receive a credit for the energy an interconnected solar energy system generates in excess of that needed by the home to offset energy purchases from the centralized utility made at times when the solar energy system is not generating sufficient energy to meet the customer’s demand. In many markets, this credit is equal to the residential retail rate for electricity and in other markets, such as Hawaii and Nevada, the rate is less than the retail rate and may be set, for example, as a percentage of the retail rate or based upon a valuation of the excess electricity. In some states and utility territories, customers are also reimbursed by the centralized electric utility for net excess generation on a periodic basis. Net metering programs have been subject to legislative and regulatory scrutiny in some states and territories including, but not limited to, California, New Jersey, Arizona, Nevada, Connecticut, Florida, Maine, Kentucky, Puerto Rico and Guam. These jurisdictions, by statute, regulation, administrative order or a combination thereof, have recently adopted or are considering new restrictions and additional changes to net metering programs either on a state-wide basis or within specific utility territories. Many of these measures were introduced and supported by centralized electric utilities. These measures vary by jurisdiction and may include a reduction in the rates or value of the credits customers are paid or receive for the power they deliver back to the electrical grid, caps or limits on the aggregate installed capacity of generation in a state or utility territory eligible for net metering, expiration dates for and phasing out of net metering programs, replacement of net metering programs with alternative programs that may provide less compensation and limits on the capacity size of individual distributed generation systems that can qualify for net metering. Net metering and related policies concerning distributed generation also received attention from federal legislators and regulators. In California, the California Public Utilities Commission (“ CPUC ”) issued an order in 2016 retaining retail-based net metering credits for residential customers of California’s major utilities as part of Net Energy Metering 2.0 (“ NEM 2.0 ”). Under NEM 2.0, new distributed generation customers receive the retail rate for electricity exported to the grid, less certain non-by passable fees. Customers under NEM 2.0 also are subject to interconnection charges and time-of-use rates. Existing customers who receive service under the prior net metering program, as well as new customers under the NEM 2.0 program, currently are permitted to remain covered by them on a legacy basis for a period of 20 years. On September 3, 2020, the CPUC opened a new proceeding to review its current net metering policies and to develop Net Energy Metering 3.0 (“ NEM 3.0 ”), also referred to by the CPUC as the NEM 2.0 successor tariff. NEM 3.0 was finalized on December 15, 2022 and includes several changes from previous net metering plans. The changes instituted by NEM 3.0 impacted the amount that homeowners with solar power will be able to recuperate when selling excess energy back to the utility grid. With NEM 3.0, the value of the credits for net exports are tied to the state’s Distributed Energy Resources Avoided Cost Calculator Documentation (“ ACC ”). Another significant change with NEM 3.0 relates to the netting period: the time period over which the utilities measure the clean energy being imported or exported. In general, longer netting periods have typically been advantageous for solar power customers because production can offset any consumption. NEM 3.0 will instead measure energy using instantaneous netting, which means interval netting approximately every 15 minutes. This will lead to more NEM customers’ electricity registering as exports, now valued at the new, lower ACC value. Overall, the institution on NEM 3.0 has resulted in a smaller market for residential solar systems and it is not certain that market conditions will improve or that NEM 3.0 will be amended or replaced with a more solar-friendly rate structure. Other states may adopt policies similar to NEM 3.0 that cause deterioration to other residential solar markets. 15 Any shortage, delay or component price change from these suppliers or delays and price increases associated with the product transport logistics could result in sales and installation delays, cancellations and loss of market share. We purchase solar panels, inverters and other system components from a number of suppliers for certain components; however, we may be susceptible to quality issues, shortages and price changes. If we fail to develop, maintain and expand relationships with existing or new suppliers, we may be unable to adequately meet anticipated demand for our solar energy systems or may only be able to offer our systems at higher costs or after delays. If one or more of the suppliers that we rely upon to meet anticipated demand ceases or reduces production, we may be unable to satisfy this demand due to an inability to quickly identify alternate suppliers or to qualify alternative products on commercially reasonable terms. In particular, there are a limited number of inverter and battery suppliers. Once we design a system for use with a particular inverter or battery, if that type of inverter or battery is not readily available at an anticipated price, we may incur additional delay and expense to redesign the system and source alternative inventory. In addition, production of solar panels involves the use of numerous raw materials and components. Several of these have experienced periods of limited availability, particularly polysilicon, as well as indium, cadmium telluride, aluminum and copper. The manufacturing infrastructure for some of these raw materials and components has a long lead time, requires significant capital investment and relies on the continued availability of key commodity materials, potentially resulting in an inability to meet demand for these components. The prices for these raw materials and components fluctuate depending on global market conditions and demand and we may experience rapid increases in costs or sustained periods of limited supplies. Despite efforts to obtain components from multiple sources whenever possible, many suppliers may be single-source suppliers of certain components. If we cannot maintain long-term supply agreements or identify and qualify multiple sources for components, access to supplies at satisfactory prices, volumes and quality levels may be harmed. We may also experience delivery delays of components from suppliers in various global locations. In addition, while there are alternative suppliers and service providers that we could enter into agreements with to replace our suppliers on commercially reasonable terms, we may be unable to establish alternate supply relationships or obtain or engineer replacement components in the short term, or at all, at favorable prices or costs. Qualifying alternate suppliers or developing our own replacements for certain components may be time-consuming and costly and may force us to make modifications to our product designs. Our need to purchase supplies globally and our continued international expansion further subjects us to risks relating to currency fluctuations. Any decline in the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar compared to the functional currency of component suppliers could increase component prices. In addition, the state of the financial markets could limit suppliers’ ability to raise capital if they are required to expand their production to meet our needs or satisfy our operating capital requirements. Changes in economic and business conditions, wars, governmental changes and other factors beyond our control or which we do not presently anticipate, could also affect suppliers’ solvency and ability to deliver components on a timely basis. Any of these shortages, delays or price changes could limit our growth, cause cancellations or adversely affect profitability and the ability to compete in the markets in which we operate effectively. Our business substantially focuses on solar service agreements and transactions with residential customers. Our business substantially focuses on solar service agreements and transactions with residential customers. Our energy system sales to homeowners utilize power purchase agreements (“ PPAs ”), leases, loans and other products and services. We currently offer PPAs and leases through Goodleap LLC, LightReach, EverBright, LLC, Dividend Solar Loan Company and other financial institutions. If we were unable to arrange new or alternative financing methods for PPAs and leases on favorable terms, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects could be materially and adversely affected. 16 If we fail to manage operations and growth effectively, we may be unable to execute our business plan, maintain high levels of customer service or adequately address competitive challenges. We have experienced significant growth in recent periods (including through the integration of acquired companies) as measured by our number of customers, and we intend to continue efforts to expand our business within existing and new markets. This growth (including these integration activities) has placed, and any future growth may place, a strain on management, operational and financial infrastructure. Our growth requires our management to devote a significant amount of time and effort to maintain and expand relationships with customers, dealers and other third parties, attract new customers and dealers, arrange financing for growth and manage expansion into additional markets. In addition, our current and planned operations, personnel, information technology and other systems and procedures might need to be revised to support future growth and may require us to make additional unanticipated investments in its infrastructure. Our success and ability to further scale our business will depend, in part, on our ability to manage these changes in a cost-effective and efficient manner. If we cannot manage operations and growth, we may be unable to meet expectations regarding growth, opportunity and financial targets, take advantage of market opportunities, execute our business strategies or respond to competitive pressures. This could also result in declines in quality or customer satisfaction, increased costs, difficulties in introducing new offerings or other operational difficulties. Any failure to effectively manage our operations and growth could adversely impact our reputation, business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. We have incurred losses and may be unable to achieve or sustain profitability in the future. We have incurred net losses in the past, including a net loss from continuing operations of $44.3 million in the fiscal year ended December 28, 2025, and we have an accumulated deficit of $456.7 million as of December 28, 2025. Additionally, as of December 28, 2025, we had current indebtedness of $24.3 million and long-term indebtedness, including derivative liabilities, net of current of $155.3 million. We will continue to incur net losses as spending increases to finance the expansion of operations, installation, engineering, administrative, sales and marketing staffs, spending increases on brand awareness and other sales and marketing initiatives and implement internal systems and infrastructure to support the Company’s growth. We do not know whether revenue will grow rapidly enough to absorb these costs, and our limited operating history makes it difficult to assess the extent of these expenses or their impact on results of operations. Our ability to achieve profitability depends on a number of factors, including but not limited to: ● Growing the customer base; ● Maintaining or further lowering the cost of capital; ● Reducing the cost of components for our solar service offerings; ● Growing and maintaining our sales partner network; ● Growing our direct-to-consumer and New Homes business to scale; and ● Reducing operating costs by lowering customer acquisition costs and optimizing our design and installation processes and supply chain logistics. Even if we do achieve profitability, we may be unable to sustain or increase profitability in the future. A material drop in the retail price of utility-generated electricity or electricity from other sources could adversely impact our ability to attract customers, which would harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations. We believe a homeowner’s decision to buy solar energy from us is primarily driven by a desire to lower electricity costs. Decreases in the retail prices of electricity from utilities or other energy sources would harm our ability to offer competitive pricing and could harm its business. The price of electricity from utilities could decrease as a result of: ● the construction of a significant number of new power generation plants, including nuclear, coal, natural gas or renewable energy technologies; 17 ● the construction of additional electric transmission and distribution lines; ● a reduction in the price of natural gas or other natural resources as a result of new drilling techniques or other technological developments, a relaxation of associated regulatory standards, or broader economic or policy developments; ● energy conservation technologies and public initiatives to reduce electricity consumption; ● subsidies impacting electricity prices, including in connection with electricity generation and transmission; and ● development of new energy technologies that provide less expensive energy. A reduction in utility electricity prices would make the purchase of our solar service offerings less attractive. If the retail price of energy available from utilities were to decrease due to any of these or other reasons, we would be at a competitive disadvantage. As a result, we may be unable to attract new homeowners and growth would be limited. We face competition from both traditional energy companies and renewable energy companies. The solar energy and renewable energy industries are both highly competitive and continually evolving as participants strive to distinguish themselves within their markets and compete with large utilities. Our primary competitors are the traditional utilities that supply energy to potential customers. We compete with these utilities primarily based on price, predictability of price and the ease by which customers can switch to electricity generated by our solar energy systems. If we cannot offer compelling value to its customers based on these factors, then our business will not grow. Utilities generally have substantially greater financial, technical, operational and other resources than us. As a result of their greater size, these competitors may be able to devote more resources to the research, development, promotion and sale of their products or respond more quickly to evolving industry standards and changes in market conditions than we can. Utilities could also offer other value added products and services that could help them compete with us even if the cost of electricity they offer is higher than ours. In addition, utilities’ diversified generation portfolios may allow utilities to sell electricity more cheaply than electricity generated by our solar energy systems. Our growth strategy depends on the widespread adoption of solar power technology. The distributed residential solar energy market is at a relatively early stage of development compared to fossil fuel-based electricity generation. If additional demand for distributed residential solar energy systems fails to develop sufficiently or takes longer to develop than we anticipate, the Company may be unable to originate additional solar service agreements and related solar energy systems and energy storage systems to grow the business. In addition, demand for solar energy systems and energy storage systems in our targeted markets may not develop to the extent it anticipates. As a result, we may need to successfully broaden our customer base through origination of solar service agreements and related solar energy systems and energy storage systems within its current markets or in new markets we may enter. Many factors may affect the demand for solar energy systems, including, but not limited to, the following: ● availability, substance and magnitude of solar support programs including government targets, subsidies, incentives, renewable portfolio standards and residential net metering rules; 18 ● the relative pricing of other conventional and non-renewable energy sources, such as natural gas, coal, oil and other fossil fuels, wind, utility-scale solar, nuclear, geothermal and biomass; ● performance, reliability and availability of energy generated by solar energy systems compared to conventional and other non-solar renewable energy sources; ● availability and performance of energy storage technology, the ability to implement such technology for use in conjunction with solar energy systems and the cost competitiveness such technology provides to customers as compared to costs for those customers reliant on the conventional electrical grid; and ● general economic conditions and the level of interest rates. The residential solar energy industry is constantly evolving, which makes it difficult to evaluate our prospects. We cannot be certain if historical growth rates reflect future opportunities or its anticipated growth will be realized. The failure of distributed residential solar energy to achieve, or its being significantly delayed in achieving, widespread adoption could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our business could be adversely affected by seasonal trends, poor weather, labor shortages, and construction cycles. Our business is subject to significant industry-specific seasonal fluctuations. In the U.S., many customers make purchasing decisions towards the end of the year in order to take advantage of tax credits and residential solar sales tend to decline during the winter months. In addition, sales in the new home development market are often tied to construction market demands, which tend to follow national trends in construction, including declining sales during cold weather months. Natural disasters, terrorist activities, political unrest, economic volatility, and other outbreaks could disrupt our delivery and operations, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Global pandemics or fear of spread of contagious diseases, such as Ebola virus disease (EVD), coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), H1N1 flu, H7N9 flu, avian flu and monkeypox, as well as hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis, or other natural disasters could disrupt our business operations, reduce or restrict operations and services, incur significant costs to protect its employees and facilities, or result in regional or global economic distress, which may materially and adversely affect business, financial condition, and results of operations. Actual or threatened war, terrorist activities, political unrest, civil strife, future disruptions in access to bank deposits or lending commitments due to bank failures and other geopolitical uncertainty could have a similar adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. On February 24, 2022, the Russian Federation launched an invasion of Ukraine that has had an immediate impact on the global economy resulting in higher energy prices and higher prices for certain raw materials and goods and services which in turn is contributing to higher inflation in the U.S. and other countries across the globe with significant disruption to financial markets. Any one or more of these events may impede our operation and delivery efforts and adversely affect sales results, or even for a prolonged period of time, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. We cannot predict the full effects the supply chain constraints will have on our business, cash flows, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations at this time due to numerous uncertainties. We are exposed to the credit risk of customers and our finance partners, and payment delinquencies on accounts receivables. Defaults by customers and the financial institutions that fund some of our customers’ solar systems have not been material to date, but we expect that the risk of customer defaults or financial partner defaults may increase as we grow our business. For example, Sunnova Energy International, Inc. (“Sunnova”), a major provider of financing for solar systems, announced that substantial doubt exists regarding its ability to continue as a going concern. While the Company does not use Sunnova for any of its customer financing, if any of our financing partners experience liquidity concerns or stop funding projects, we may incur significant losses or project delays. If any of our customers are unable to make milestone payments on systems purchased in cash, our revenue and costs could be adversely affected. If economic conditions worsen, certain of our customers or finance partners may face liquidity concerns and may be unable to satisfy their payment obligations to us on a timely basis or at all, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. 19 We may not realize the anticipated benefits of past or future acquisitions, including the transactions under the asset purchase agreement with the SunPower Debtors, the Sunder Acquisition, the Ambia Acquisition, and the Cobalt Acquisition and integration of these acquisitions may disrupt our business. In November 2022, we acquired The Solaria Corporation (“Solaria”), after which Complete Solar was renamed “Complete Solaria, Inc.” In October 2023, we subsequently sold solar panel assets of Solaria, including intellectual property and customer contracts, to Maxeon Solar Technologies, Ltd., which resulted in an impairment loss of $147.5 million and loss on disposal of $1.8 million. On September 30, 2024, we completed the acquisition of the Acquired SunPower Assets under the APA with the SunPower Debtors, which resulted in our acquisition of the SunPower Businesses and a significant expansion of our business operations and headcount. On September 21, 2025, we entered into an agreement to acquire Sunder and completed the Sunder Acquisition effective September 24, 2025. On November 21, 2025, we entered into an agreement to acquire Ambia and completed the Ambia Acquisition on November 21, 2025. We completed the acquisition of Cobalt on February 2, 2026. In the future, we may acquire additional companies, project pipelines, products, or technologies, or enter into joint ventures or other strategic initiatives. Our ability as an organization to integrate acquisitions is unproven. We may not realize the anticipated benefits of our acquisitions or any other future acquisition or the acquisition may be viewed negatively by customers, financial markets or investors. Any acquisition has numerous risks, including, but not limited to, the following: ● difficulty in assimilating the operations and personnel of the acquired company; ● difficulty in effectively integrating the acquired technologies or products with current products and technologies; ● difficulty in maintaining controls, procedures and policies during the transition and integration; ● disruption of ongoing business and distraction of management and employees from other opportunities and challenges due to integration issues; ● difficulty integrating the acquired company’s accounting, management information and other administrative systems; ● inability to retain key technical and managerial personnel of the acquired business; ● inability to retain key customers, vendors, and other business partners of the acquired business; ● inability to achieve the financial and strategic goals for the acquired and combined businesses; ● incurring acquisition-related costs or amortization costs for acquired intangible assets that could impact operating results; ● failure of due diligence processes to identify significant issues with product quality, legal and financial liabilities, among other things; ● inability to assert that internal controls over financial reporting are effective; and ● inability to obtain, or obtain in a timely manner, approvals from governmental authorities, which could delay or prevent such acquisitions. ● inability to rebuild trust with home builders due to the bankruptcy of the SunPower Debtors. ● inability to obtain advantageous financing arrangements with financiers in order to pass the saving on to customers. 20 We may be required to file claims against other parties for infringing its intellectual property that may be costly and may not be resolved in its favor. To protect our intellectual property rights and to maintain competitive advantage, we have filed, and may continue to file, suits against parties we believe infringe or misappropriate our intellectual property. Intellectual property litigation is expensive and time-consuming, could divert management’s attention from our business, and could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, or financial condition, and our enforcement efforts may not be successful. In addition, the validity of our patents may be challenged in such litigation. Our participation in intellectual property enforcement actions may negatively impact our financial results. Developments in technology or improvements in distributed solar energy generation and related technologies or components may materially adversely affect demand for our offerings. Significant developments in technology, such as advances in distributed solar power generation, energy storage solutions such as batteries, energy storage management systems, the widespread use or adoption of fuel cells for residential or commercial properties or improvements in other forms of distributed or centralized power production may materially and adversely affect demand for our offerings and otherwise affect our business. Future technological advancements may result in reduced prices to consumers or more efficient solar energy systems than those available today, either of which may result in current customer dissatisfaction. We may not be able to adopt these new technologies as quickly as its competitors or on a cost-effective basis. Additionally, recent technological advancements may impact our business in ways not currently anticipated. Any failure by us to adopt or have access to new or enhanced technologies or processes, or to react to changes in existing technologies, could result in product obsolescence or the loss of competitiveness of and decreased consumer interest in its solar energy services, which could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations. Our business is subject to complex and evolving data protection laws. Many of these laws and regulations are subject to change and uncertain interpretation and could result in claims, increased cost of operations or otherwise harm its business. Consumer personal privacy and data security have become significant issues and the subject of rapidly evolving regulation in the U.S. Furthermore, federal, state and local government bodies or agencies have in the past adopted, and may in the future adopt, more laws and regulations affecting data privacy. For example, the state of California enacted the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“ CCPA ”) and California voters recently approved the California Privacy Rights Act (“ CPRA ”). The CCPA creates individual privacy rights for consumers and places increased privacy and security obligations on entities handling the personal data of consumers or households. The CCPA went into effect in January 2020 and it requires covered companies to provide new disclosures to California consumers, provides such consumers, business-to-business contacts and employees new ways to opt-out of certain sales of personal information, and allows for a new private right of action for data breaches. The CPRA modifies the CCPA and imposes additional data protection obligations on companies doing business in California, including additional consumer rights processes and opt outs for certain uses of sensitive data. The CCPA and the CPRA may significantly impact the Company’s business activities and require substantial compliance costs that adversely affect its business, operating results, prospects and financial condition. To date, we have not experienced substantial compliance costs in connection with fulfilling the requirements under the CCPA or CPRA. However, we cannot be certain that compliance costs will not increase in the future with respect to the CCPA and CPRA or any other recently passed consumer privacy regulation. Outside the U.S., an increasing number of laws, regulations, and industry standards may govern data privacy and security. For example, the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (“ EU GDPR ”) and the United Kingdom’s GDPR (“ UK GDPR ”) impose strict requirements for processing personal data. Under the EU GDPR, companies may face temporary or definitive bans on data processing and other corrective actions; fines of up to 20 million Euros or 4% of annual global revenue, whichever is greater; or private litigation related to processing of personal data brought by classes of data subjects or consumer protection organizations authorized at law to represent their interests. Non-compliance with the UK GDPR may result in substantially similar adverse consequences to those in relation to the EU GDPR, including monetary penalties of up to £17.5 million or 4% of worldwide revenue, whichever is higher. 21 In addition, we may be unable to transfer personal data from Europe and other jurisdictions to the U.S. or other countries due to data localization requirements or limitations on cross-border data flows. Europe and other jurisdictions have enacted laws requiring data to be localized or limiting the transfer of personal data to other countries. In particular, the European Economic Area (“ EEA ”) and the United Kingdom have significantly restricted the transfer of personal data to the U.S. and other countries whose privacy laws it believes are not adequate. Other jurisdictions may adopt similarly stringent interpretations of their data localization and cross- border data transfer laws. Although there are currently various mechanisms that may be used to transfer personal data from the EEA and UK to the U.S. in compliance with law, such as the EEA and UK’s standard contractual clauses, these mechanisms are subject to legal challenges, and there is no assurance that the Company can satisfy or rely on these measures to lawfully transfer personal data to the U.S. If there is no lawful manner for us to transfer personal data from the EEA, the UK, or other jurisdictions to the U.S., or if the requirements for a legally-compliant transfer are too onerous, we could face significant adverse consequences, including the interruption or degradation of its operations, the need to relocate part of or all of its business or data processing activities to other jurisdictions at significant expense, increased exposure to regulatory actions, substantial fines and penalties, the inability to transfer data and work with partners, vendors and other third parties, and injunctions against its processing or transferring of personal data necessary to operate its business. Some European regulators have ordered certain companies to suspend or permanently cease certain transfers out of Europe for allegedly violating the EU GDPR’s cross-border data transfer limitations. Any inability to adequately address privacy and security concerns, even if unfounded, or comply with applicable privacy and data security laws, regulations and policies, could result in additional cost and liability to us damage our reputation, inhibit sales and adversely affect our business. Furthermore, the costs of compliance with, and other burdens imposed by, the laws, regulations and policies that are applicable to our business may limit the use and adoption of, and reduce the overall demand for, its solutions. If we are not able to adjust to changing laws, regulations and standards related to privacy or security, our business may be harmed. Any unauthorized access to or disclosure or theft of personal information we gather, store or use could harm our reputation and subject us to claims or litigation. We receive, store and use personal information of customers, including names, addresses, e-mail addresses, and other housing and energy use information. We also store information of dealers, including employee, financial and operational information. We rely on the availability of data collected from customers and dealers in order to manage our business and market our offerings. We take certain steps in an effort to protect the security, integrity and confidentiality of the personal information collected, stored or transmitted, but there is no guarantee inadvertent or unauthorized use or disclosure will not occur or third parties will not gain unauthorized access to this information despite our efforts. Although we take precautions to provide for disaster recovery, our ability to recover systems or data may be expensive and may interfere with normal operations. Also, although we obtain assurances from such third parties that they will use reasonable safeguards to secure their systems, we may be adversely affected by unavailability of their systems or unauthorized use or disclosure or its data maintained in such systems. Because techniques used to obtain unauthorized access or sabotage systems change frequently and generally are not identified until they are launched against a target, our suppliers or vendors and our dealers may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative or mitigation measures. Cyberattacks in particular are becoming more sophisticated and include, but are not limited to, malicious software, attempts to gain unauthorized access to data and other electronic security breaches that could lead to disruptions in critical systems, disruption of customers’ operations, loss or damage to data delivery systems, unauthorized release of confidential or otherwise protected information, corruption of data and increased costs to prevent, respond to or mitigate cybersecurity events. In addition, certain cyber incidents, such as advanced persistent threats, may remain undetected for an extended period. 22 Unauthorized use, disclosure of or access to any personal information maintained by us or on the behalf of us, whether through breach of our systems, breach of the systems of our suppliers, vendors or dealers by an unauthorized party or through employee or contractor error, theft or misuse or otherwise, could harm our business. If any such unauthorized use, disclosure of or access to such personal information were to occur, our operations could be seriously disrupted and we could be subject to demands, claims and litigation by private parties and investigations, related actions and penalties by regulatory authorities. In addition, we could incur significant costs in notifying affected persons and entities and otherwise complying with the multitude of federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the unauthorized access to, use of or disclosure of personal information. Finally, any perceived or actual unauthorized access to, use of or disclosure of such information could harm our reputation, substantially impair our business, financial condition and results of operations. While we currently maintain cybersecurity insurance, such insurance may not be sufficient to cover against claims, and we cannot be certain that cyber insurance will continue to be available on economically reasonable terms, or at all, or that any insurer will not deny coverage as to any future claim. If we fail to comply with laws and regulations relating to interactions by the Company or its dealers with current or prospective residential customers, it could result in negative publicity, claims, investigations and litigation and adversely affect financial performance. Our business substantially focuses on home improvement contracts for the installation of solar systems for residential customers. We offer leases, loans and other products and services directly to consumers and through sales partners in our dealer networks, who utilize sales people employed by or engaged as third-party service providers of such contractors. We and our dealers must comply with numerous federal, state and local laws and regulations that govern matters relating to interactions with residential consumers, including those pertaining to consumer protection, marketing and sales, privacy and data security, consumer financial and credit transactions, mortgages and refinancings, home improvement contracts, warranties and various means of customer solicitation, including under the laws described below in “ As sales to residential customers have grown, we have increasingly become subject to substantial financing and consumer protection laws and regulations. ” These laws and regulations are dynamic and subject to potentially differing interpretations and various federal, state and local legislative and regulatory bodies may initiate investigations, expand current laws or regulations, or enact new laws and regulations regarding these matters. Changes in these laws or regulations or their interpretation could dramatically affect how we and our dealers do business, acquire customers and manage and use information collected from and about current and prospective customers and the costs associated therewith. We and our dealers strive to comply with all applicable laws and regulations relating to interactions with residential customers. It is possible, however, that these requirements may be interpreted and applied in a manner inconsistent from one jurisdiction to another and may conflict with other rules or our practices or the practices of our dealers. Although we require dealers to meet consumer compliance requirements, we do not control dealers and their suppliers or their business practices. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee they follow ethical business practices such as fair wage practices and compliance with environmental, safety and other local laws. A lack of demonstrated compliance could lead us to seek alternative dealers or suppliers, which could increase costs and have a negative effect on business and prospects for growth. Violation of labor or other laws by our dealers or suppliers or the divergence of a dealer or supplier’s labor or other practices from those generally accepted as ethical in the U.S. or other markets in which the Company does or intends to do business could also attract negative publicity and harm the business. From time to time, we have been included in lawsuits brought by the consumer customers of certain contractors in our networks, citing claims based on the sales practices of these contractors. We cannot be sure that a court of law would not determine that we are liable for the actions of the contractors in our networks or that a regulator or state attorney general’s office may hold us accountable for violations of consumer protection or other applicable laws by. Our risk mitigation processes may not be sufficient to mitigate financial harm associated with violations of applicable law by our contractors or ensure that any such contractor is able to satisfy its indemnification obligations to us. Any significant judgment against us could expose it to broader liabilities, a need to adjust our distribution channels for products and services or otherwise change our business model and could adversely impact the business. 23 We may be unsuccessful in introducing new services and product offerings. We intend to introduce new offerings of services and products to both new and existing customers in the future, including home automation products and additional home technology solutions. We may be unsuccessful in significantly broadening our customer base through the addition of these services and products within current markets or in new markets the Company may enter. Additionally, we may not be successful in generating substantial revenue from any additional services and products introduced in the future and may decline to initiate new product and service offerings. Damage to our brand and reputation or change or loss of use of our brand could harm our business and results of operations. We depend significantly on our reputation for high-quality products, excellent customer service and the brand name “SunPower” to attract new customers and grow our business. If we fail to continue to deliver solar energy systems or energy storage systems within the planned timelines, if our offerings do not perform as anticipated or if we damage any of our customers’ properties or delays or cancels projects, our brand and reputation could be significantly impaired. Future technological improvements may allow the company to offer lower prices or offer new technology to new customers; however, technical limitations in our current solar energy systems and energy storage systems may prevent us from offering such lower prices or new technology to existing customers. In addition, given the sheer number of interactions our personnel or dealers operating on our behalf have with customers and potential customers, it is inevitable that some customers’ and potential customers’ interactions with us or dealers operating on our behalf will be perceived as less than satisfactory. This has led to instances of customer complaints, some of which have affected our digital footprint on rating websites and social media platforms. If we cannot manage hiring and training processes to avoid or minimize these issues to the extent possible, our reputation may be harmed and our ability to attract new customers would suffer. In addition, if we were to no longer use, lose the right to continue to use or if others use the “SunPower” brand, we could lose recognition in the marketplace among customers, suppliers and dealers, which could affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and would require financial and other investment and management attention in new branding, which may not be as successful. Our success depends on the continuing contributions of key personnel, including Thurman J. Rodgers. If we are unable to attract and retain key employees and qualified personnel, our business and prospects could be harmed. We rely heavily on the services of our key executive officers and other key employees, in particular Thurman J. Rodgers, and the loss of services of any principal member of the management team or other key employees could adversely affect our operations. There have been, and from time to time there may continue to be, changes in our management team resulting from the hiring or departure of executives and key employees, or the transition of executives within our business, which could disrupt our business. For example, during 2024, 2025 and early 2026, we had turnover in key positions, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer. As a result of the SunPower Acquisition, the Sunder Acquisition, the Ambia Acquisition and the Cobalt Acquisition, we also appointed new employees to key positions and restructured our management reporting lines. Such changes in our executive management team or workforce may be disruptive to our business, divert management’s attention, result in a loss of knowledge and negatively impact employee morale. If we encounter further turnover or difficulties associated with the transition or departure of our executive officers and key employees, or if we are unsuccessful in recruiting new personnel or in retaining and motivating existing personnel, our operations may be disrupted, which could harm our business. We are investing significant resources in developing new members of management as we complete our restructuring and strategic transformation, including as a result of the SunPower Acquisition. We also anticipate that over time we will need to hire a number of highly skilled technical, sales, marketing, administrative, and accounting personnel. The competition for qualified personnel is intense in this industry. We may not be successful in attracting and retaining sufficient numbers of qualified personnel to support its anticipated growth. We cannot guarantee that any employee will remain employed with us for any definite period of time since all employees, including key executive officers, serve at-will and may terminate their employment at any time for any reason. 24 Labor is subject to external factors that are beyond our control, including our industry’s highly competitive market for skilled workers and leaders, cost inflation, and workforce participation rates. As we build our brand and become more well known and grow globally, there is increased risk that competitors or other companies will seek to hire our personnel. The failure to attract, integrate, train, motivate and retain these personnel could seriously harm our business and prospects. If we or our dealers or suppliers fail to hire and retain sufficient employees and service providers in key functions, our growth and ability to timely complete customer projects and successfully manage customer accounts would be constrained. To support growth, we and our dealers need to hire, train, deploy, manage and retain a substantial number of skilled employees, engineers, installers, electricians and sales and project finance specialists. Competition for qualified personnel in this industry has increased substantially, particularly for skilled personnel involved in the installation of solar energy systems. We and our dealers also compete with the homebuilding and construction industries for skilled labor. These industries are cyclical and when participants in these industries seek to hire additional workers, it puts upward pressure on us and our dealers’ labor costs. Companies with whom our dealers compete to hire installers may offer compensation or incentive plans that certain installers may view as more favorable. As a result, our dealers may be unable to attract or retain qualified and skilled installation personnel. The further unionization of the industry’s labor force or the homebuilding and construction industries’ labor forces could also increase our dealers’ labor costs. Shortages of skilled labor could significantly delay a project or otherwise increase dealers’ costs. Further, we need to continue to increase the training of the customer service team to provide high-end account management and service to homeowners before, during and following the point of installation of its solar energy systems. Identifying and recruiting qualified personnel and training them requires significant time, expense and attention. It can take several months before a new customer service team member is fully trained and productive at the standards established by us. If we are unable to hire, develop and retain talented customer service or other personnel, we may not be able to grow our business. Our operating results and ability to grow may fluctuate from quarter to quarter and year to year, which could make future performance difficult to predict and could cause operating results for a particular period to fall below expectations. Our quarterly and annual operating results and its ability to grow are difficult to predict and may fluctuate significantly. We have experienced seasonal and quarterly fluctuations in the past and expect to experience such fluctuations in the future. In addition to the other risks described in this “Risk Factors” section, the following factors could cause operating results to fluctuate: ● expiration or initiation of any governmental rebates or incentives; ● significant fluctuations in customer demand for our solar energy services, solar energy systems and energy storage systems; ● our dealers’ ability to complete installations in a timely manner; ● our and our dealers’ ability to gain interconnection permission for an installed solar energy system from the relevant utility; ● the availability, terms and costs of suitable financing; ● the amount, timing of sales and potential decreases in value of Solar Renewable Energy Certificates; ● our ability to continue to expand its operations and the amount and timing of expenditures related to this expansion; ● announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital-raising activities or commitments; 25 ● changes in our pricing policies or terms or those of competitors, including centralized electric utilities; ● actual or anticipated developments in competitors’ businesses, technology or the competitive landscape; and ● natural disasters or other weather or meteorological conditions. For these or other reasons, the results of any prior quarterly or annual periods should not be relied upon as indications of our future performance. Our ability to obtain insurance on the terms of any available insurance coverage could be materially adversely affected by international, national, state or local events or company-specific events, as well as the financial condition of insurers. Our insurance policies cover legal and contractual liabilities arising out of bodily injury, personal injury or property damage to third parties and are subject to policy limits. However, such policies do not cover all potential losses and coverage is not always available in the insurance market on commercially reasonable terms. In addition, we may have disagreements with insurers on the amount of recoverable damages and the insurance proceeds received for any loss of, or any damage to, any of our assets may be claimed by lenders under financing arrangements or otherwise may not be sufficient to restore the loss or damage without a negative impact on its results of operations. Furthermore, the receipt of insurance proceeds may be delayed, requiring us to use cash or incur financing costs in the interim. To the extent our experiences covered losses under its insurance policies, the limit of our coverage for potential losses may be decreased or the insurance rates it has to pay increased. Furthermore, the losses insured through commercial insurance are subject to the credit risk of those insurance companies. While we believe our commercial insurance providers are currently creditworthy, we cannot assure such insurance companies will remain so in the future. We may not be able to maintain or obtain insurance of the type and amount desired at reasonable rates. The insurance coverage obtained may contain large deductibles or fail to cover certain risks or all potential losses. In addition, our insurance policies are subject to annual review by insurers and may not be renewed on similar or favorable terms, including coverage, deductibles or premiums, or at all. If a significant accident or event occurs for which we are not fully insured or the Company suffers losses due to one or more of its insurance carriers defaulting on their obligations or contesting their coverage obligations, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We may be subject to breaches of our information technology systems, which could lead to disclosure of internal information, damage to our reputation or relationships with dealers, suppliers, and customers, and disrupt access to online services. Such breaches could subject us to significant reputational, financial, legal, and operational consequences. Our business requires the use and storage of confidential and proprietary information, intellectual property, commercial banking information, personal information concerning customers, employees, and business partners, and corporate information concerning internal processes and business functions. Malicious attacks to gain access to such information affects many companies across various industries, including ours. Where appropriate, we use encryption and authentication technologies to secure the transmission and storage of data. These security measures may be compromised as a result of third-party security breaches, employee error, malfeasance, faulty password management, or other irregularity or malicious effort, and result in persons obtaining unauthorized access to data. We devote resources to network security, data encryption, and other security measures to protect our systems and data, but these security measures cannot provide absolute security. Because the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access, disable or degrade service, or sabotage systems change frequently, target end users through phishing and other malicious techniques, and/or may be difficult to detect for long periods of time, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or implement adequate preventative measures. As a result, we may experience a breach of our systems in the future that reduces our ability to protect sensitive data. In addition, hardware, software, or applications we develop or procure from third parties may contain defects in design or manufacture or other problems that could unexpectedly compromise information security. Unauthorized parties may also attempt to gain access to our systems or facilities through fraud, trickery or other forms of deceiving team members, contractors and temporary staff. If we experience, or are perceived to have experienced, a significant data security breach, fail to detect and appropriately respond to a significant data security breach, or fail to implement disclosure controls and procedures that provide for timely disclosure of data security breaches deemed material to our business, including corrections or updates to previous disclosures, we could be exposed to a risk of loss, increased insurance costs, remediation and prospective prevention costs, damage to our reputation and brand, litigation and possible liability, or government enforcement actions, any of which could detrimentally affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition. 26 We may also share information with contractors and third-party providers to conduct business. While we generally review and typically request or require such contractors and third-party providers to implement security measures, such as encryption and authentication technologies to secure the transmission and storage of data, those third-party providers may experience a significant data security breach, which may also detrimentally affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition as discussed above. See also under this section, “ We may be required to file claims against other parties for infringing its intellectual property that may be costly and may not be resolved in our favor .” We rely substantially upon trade secret laws and contractual restrictions to protect our proprietary rights, and, if these rights are not sufficiently protected, our ability to compete and generate revenue could suffer. As sales to residential customers have grown, we have increasingly become subject to consumer protection laws and regulations. As we continue to seek to expand our retail customer base, our activities with customers are subject to consumer protection laws that may not be applicable to other businesses, such as federal truth-in-lending, consumer leasing, telephone and digital marketing, and equal credit opportunity laws and regulations, as well as state and local finance laws and regulations. Claims arising out of actual or alleged violations of law may be asserted against us by individuals or governmental entities and may expose the Company to significant damages or other penalties, including fines. In addition, our affiliations with third-party dealers may subject the Company to alleged liability in connection with actual or alleged violations of law by such dealers, whether or not actually attributable to us, which may expose us to significant damages and penalties, and we may incur substantial expenses in defending against legal actions related to third-party dealers, whether or not ultimately found liable. The competitive environment in which we operate often requires the undertaking of customer obligations, which may turn out to be costlier than anticipated and, in turn, materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. We are often required, at the request of our end customer, to undertake certain obligations such as: ● system output performance warranties; and ● system maintenance. Such customer obligations involve complex accounting analyses and judgments regarding the timing of revenue and expense recognition, and in certain situations these factors may require us to defer revenue or profit recognition until projects are completed or until contingencies are resolved, which could adversely affect revenues and profits in a particular period. We are subject to risks associated with construction, cost overruns, delays, regulatory compliance and other contingencies, any of which could have a material adverse effect on its business and results of operations. We are a licensed contractor in certain communities that we service and are ultimately responsible as the contracting party for every solar energy system installation. A significant portion of our business depends on obtaining and maintaining required licenses in various jurisdictions. All such licenses are subject to audit by the relevant government agency. Our failure to obtain or maintain required licenses could result in the termination of certain of our contracts. For example, we hold a license with California’s Contractors State License Board (the “ CSLB ”) and that license is currently under probation with the CSLB. If we fail to comply with the CSLB’s law and regulations, it could result in termination of certain of our contracts, monetary penalties, extension of the license probation period or revocation of its license in California. In addition, we may be liable, either directly or through its solar partners, to homeowners for any damage we cause to them, their home, belongings or property during the installation of our systems. For example, we either directly or through its solar partners, frequently penetrate homeowners’ roofs during the installation process and may incur liability for the failure to adequately weatherproof such penetrations following the completion of construction. In addition, because the solar energy systems we or our solar partners deploy are high voltage energy systems, we may incur liability for failing to comply with electrical standards and manufacturer recommendations. 27 Further, we or our installation partners may face construction delays or cost overruns, which may adversely affect our or our sales partners’ ability to ramp up the volume of installation in accordance with our plans. Such delays or overruns may occur as a result of a variety of factors, such as labor shortages, defects in materials and workmanship, adverse weather conditions, transportation constraints, construction change orders, site changes, labor issues and other unforeseen difficulties, any of which could lead to increased cancellation rates, reputational harm and other adverse effects. In addition, the installation of solar energy systems, energy storage systems, and other energy-related products requiring building modifications are subject to oversight and regulation in accordance with national, state, and local laws and ordinances relating to building, fire, and electrical codes, safety, environmental protection, utility interconnection and metering, and related matters. We also rely on certain employees to maintain professional licenses in many of the jurisdictions in which we operate, and the failure to employ properly licensed personnel could adversely affect our licensing status in those jurisdictions. It is difficult and costly to track the requirements of every individual authority having jurisdiction over our installations and to design solar energy systems to comply with these varying standards. Any new government regulations or utility policies pertaining to our systems may result in significant additional expenses to homeowners and us and, as a result, could cause a significant reduction in demand for solar service offerings. While we have a variety of stringent quality standards that the Company applies in the selection of its solar partners, we do not control our suppliers and solar partners or their business practices. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee that they follow our standards or ethical business practices, such as fair wage practices and compliance with environmental, safety and other local laws. A lack of demonstrated compliance could lead us to seek alternative suppliers or contractors, which could increase costs and result in delayed delivery or installation of our products, product shortages or other disruptions of its operations. Violation of labor or other laws by our suppliers and solar partners or the divergence of a supplier’s or solar partners’ labor or other practices from those generally accepted as ethical in the U.S. or other markets in which we do business could also attract negative publicity and harm our business, brand and reputation in the market. Compliance with occupational safety and health requirements and best practices can be costly, and noncompliance with such requirements may result in potentially significant penalties, operational delays and adverse publicity. The installation and ongoing operations and maintenance of solar energy systems and energy storage systems requires individuals hired by us, our dealers, or third-party contractors, potentially including employees, to work at heights with complicated and potentially dangerous electrical systems. The evaluation and modification of buildings as part of the installation process requires these individuals to work in locations that may contain potentially dangerous levels of asbestos, lead, mold or other materials known or believed to be hazardous to human health. There is substantial risk of serious injury or death if proper safety procedures are not followed. Our operations are subject to regulation by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“ OSHA ”) and the Department of Transportation (“ DOT ”) and equivalent state and local laws. Changes to OSHA or DOT requirements, or stricter interpretation or enforcement of existing laws or regulations, could result in increased costs. If we fail to comply with applicable OSHA or DOT regulations, even if no work-related serious injury or death occurs, we may be subject to civil or criminal enforcement and be required to pay substantial penalties, incur significant capital expenditures or suspend or limit operations. Because individuals hired by us or on our behalf to perform installation and ongoing operations and maintenance of the Company’s solar energy systems and energy storage systems, including its dealers and third-party contractors, are compensated on a per project basis, they are incentivized to work more quickly than installers compensated on an hourly basis. While we have not experienced a high level of injuries to date, this incentive structure may result in higher injury rates than others in the industry and could accordingly expose the Company to increased liability. Individuals hired by or on behalf of us may have workplace accidents and receive citations from OSHA regulators for alleged safety violations, resulting in fines. Any such accidents, citations, violations, injuries or failure to comply with industry best practices may subject us to adverse publicity, damage its reputation and competitive position and adversely affect the business. 28 Our business has benefited from the declining cost of solar energy system components, but it may be harmed if the cost of such components stabilizes or increases in the future. Our business has benefited from the declining cost of solar energy system components and to the extent such costs stabilize, decline at a slower rate or increase, our future growth rate may be negatively impacted. The declining cost of solar energy system components and the raw materials necessary to manufacture them has been a key driver in the price of our solar energy systems, and the prices charged for electricity and customer adoption of solar energy. Solar energy system component and raw material prices may not continue to decline at the same rate as they have over the past several years or at all. In addition, growth in the solar industry and the resulting increase in demand for solar energy system components and the raw materials necessary to manufacture them may also put upward pressure on prices. An increase of solar energy system components and raw materials prices could slow growth and cause business and results of operations to suffer. Further, the cost of solar energy system components and raw materials has increased and could increase in the future due to tariff penalties, duties, the loss of or changes in economic governmental incentives or other factors. Product liability claims against us could result in adverse publicity and potentially significant monetary damages. It is possible our solar energy systems or energy storage systems could injure customers or other third parties or our solar energy systems or energy storage systems could cause property damage as a result of product malfunctions, defects, improper installation, fire or other causes. Any product liability claim we face could be expensive to defend and may divert management’s attention. The successful assertion of product liability claims against us could result in potentially significant monetary damages, potential increases in insurance expenses, penalties or fines, subject the Company to adverse publicity, damage our reputation and competitive position and adversely affect sales of solar energy systems or energy storage systems. In addition, product liability claims, injuries, defects or other problems experienced by other companies in the residential solar industry could lead to unfavorable market conditions to the industry as a whole and may have an adverse effect on our ability to expand its portfolio of solar service agreements and related solar energy systems and energy storage systems, thus affecting our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our warranty costs may exceed the warranty reserve. We provide warranties that cover parts performance and labor to purchasers of our solar modules. We also have legacy warranty and performance obligations from our former business manufacturing solar panels. We maintain a warranty reserve on our financial statements, and our warranty claims may exceed the warranty reserve. Any significant warranty expenses could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Significant warranty problems could impair our reputation which could result in lower revenue and a lower gross margin. We are subject to legal proceedings and regulatory inquiries and may be named in additional claims or legal proceedings or become involved in regulatory inquiries, all of which are costly, distracting to our core business and could result in an unfavorable outcome or harm our business, financial condition, results of operations or the trading price for our securities. We are involved in claims and legal proceedings that arise from normal business activities. In addition, from time to time, third parties have asserted and may in the future assert claims against us. We evaluate all claims, lawsuits and investigations with respect to their potential merits, our potential defenses and counter claims, settlement or litigation potential and the expected effect on us. In the event that we are involved in significant disputes, including the legal claims noted below, or are the subject of a formal action by a regulatory agency, we could be exposed to costly and time-consuming legal proceedings that could result in any number of outcomes. Although outcomes of such actions vary, any claims, proceedings or regulatory actions initiated by or against us whether successful or not, could result in expensive costs of defense, costly damage awards, injunctive relief, increased costs of business, fines or orders to change certain business practices, significant dedication of management time, diversion of significant operational resources or some other harm to the business. In any of these cases, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be negatively impacted. We make a provision for a liability relating to legal matters when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. These provisions are reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted to reflect the impacts of negotiations, estimated settlements, legal rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular matter. Depending on the nature and timing of any such controversy, an unfavorable resolution of a matter could materially affect our future business, financial condition or results of operations, or all of the foregoing, in a particular quarter. 29 See “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 12 - Commitments and Contingencies ” for a further discussion of the legal claims summarized therein. In addition to the other information provided in Note 12, on February 22, 2024, the court in the case issued an order against certain subsidiaries of the Company which awarded Siemens approximately $6.9 million. On March 15, 2024, Siemens filed a motion seeking to recover $2.67 million for attorneys’ fees, expenses, and pre-and post-judgment interest. The Company opposed Siemens’ motion for attorneys’ fees, expenses, and pre- and post-judgment interest on April 5, 2024. On June 17, 2024, the court entered a final order which awarded Siemens a total of $2.0 million in attorneys’ fees and costs. We have appealed these judgments. On August 19, 2024, Siemens applied for the enforcement to a sister state judgment in the Superior Court of Alameda, California and the court entered a judgement in favor of Siemens. On December 9, 2024, Siemens moved to amend the judgment to add the Company as a judgement debtor. Our subsidiaries opposed the Siemens motion. The court heard the motion by submission on April 3, 2025, but has not yet issued a ruling. The Company recognized $6.9 million as a legal loss related to this litigation in 2023, and in 2024, the Company recorded an additional accrual for $2.0 million for attorneys’ fees, expenses, and pre-judgment interest, in accrued expenses and other current liabilities within its consolidated balance sheet as of December 29, 2024. This legal loss was recognized in fiscal 2024 in loss from discontinued operations, net of tax on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company had liability of $6.9 million recorded as a legal loss related to this litigation, excluding amounts for attorneys’ fees and costs, in accrued expenses and other current liabilities within its consolidated balance sheet at December 29, 2024. On December 4, 2025, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement with Siemens Government Technologies, Inc. and Siemens Industry, Inc. to resolve a case in the Circuit Court of Fairfax County, Virginia and other related cases as well as to resolve potential claims related to Siemens’ Atwater Wastewater Treatment Plant. In exchange for full releases, the Company agreed to pay Siemens $9.5 million spread across four payments to be made at the end of each calendar quarter during fiscal 2026. If the Company successfully engages in any form of new financing or new debt worth $1.0 million or more, or successfully obtains shareholder approval for the issuance of additional shares in connection with the raise of additional funds and/or any merger or acquisition activity, the next due quarterly payment to Siemens (if any) becomes immediately due and payable. The settlement payment to Siemens is secured by a first-priority continuing security interest in $9.5 million of Company collateral. This security interest is reduced on a one-to-one basis as the settlement payments are made. The requirements of being a public company may strain our resources, divert management’s attention and affect our ability to attract and retain qualified directors and officers. We face increased legal, accounting, administrative and other costs and expenses as a public company that we did not incur as a private company. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, including the requirements of Section 404, as well as rules and regulations subsequently implemented by the SEC, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and the rules and regulations promulgated and to be promulgated thereunder, the PCAOB and the securities exchanges, impose additional reporting and other obligations on public companies. Compliance with public company requirements will increase costs and make certain activities more time- consuming. A number of those requirements will require us to carry out activities we had not done previously. If any issues in complying with those requirements are identified (for example, if we or the auditors identify a material weakness or significant deficiency in the internal control over financial reporting), we could incur additional costs rectifying those issues, and the existence of those issues could adversely affect our reputation or investor perceptions of it. It may also be more expensive to obtain director and officer liability insurance. Risks associated with our status as a public company may make it more difficult to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on the SunPower Board or as executive officers. The additional reporting and other obligations imposed by these rules and regulations will increase legal and financial compliance costs and the costs of related legal, accounting and administrative activities. These increased costs will require us to divert a significant amount of money that could otherwise be used to expand the business and achieve strategic objectives. Advocacy efforts by stockholders and third parties may also prompt additional changes in governance and reporting requirements, which could further increase costs. 30 Our ability to use net operating loss carryforwards and certain other tax attributes may be limited. We have incurred substantial losses during our history and do not expect to become profitable in the near future and may never achieve profitability. Under current U.S. federal income tax law, unused losses for the tax year ended December 31, 2017 and prior tax years will carry forward to offset future taxable income, if any, until such unused losses expire, and unused federal losses generated after December 31, 2017 will not expire and may be carried forward indefinitely but will be only deductible to the extent of 80% of current year taxable income in any given year. Many states have similar laws. In addition, both current and future unused net operating loss (“ NOL ”) carryforwards and other tax attributes may be subject to limitation under Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), if a corporation undergoes an “ownership change,” generally defined as a greater than 50 percentage point change (by value) in equity ownership by certain stockholders over a three-year period. The Business Combination may have resulted in an ownership change for us and, accordingly, our NOL carryforwards and certain other tax attributes may be subject to limitations (or disallowance) on their use after the Business Combination. Our NOL carryforwards may also be subject to limitation as a result of prior shifts in equity ownership. Additional ownership changes in the future could result in additional limitations on our NOL carryforwards. Consequently, even if we achieve profitability, we may not be able to utilize a material portion of our NOL carryforwards and other tax attributes, which could have a material adverse effect on cash flow and results of operations. Risks Related to our Common Stock and Other Securities Our Directors, executive officers and principal stockholders will continue to have significant influence over our company, which could limit your ability to influence the outcome of key transactions, including a change of control. Our Directors, executive officers and each of our 5% stockholders and their affiliates, in the aggregate, beneficially own approximately 30% of the outstanding shares of our common stock, based on the number of shares outstanding as of April 1, 2026 (including all convertible securities and securities that such holders have the right to acquire within 60 days following April 1, 2026). As a result, these stockholders, if acting together, will be able to significantly influence matters requiring approval by our stockholders, including the election of directors and the approval of mergers, acquisitions or other extraordinary transactions. They may also have interests that differ from yours and may vote in a way with which you disagree, and which may be adverse to your interests. This concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying, preventing or deterring a change of control of our company, could deprive our stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their common stock as part of a sale of our company and might ultimately affect the market price of our common stock. The trading price of our common stock may be volatile, and you could lose all or part of your investment. Fluctuations in the price of our securities could contribute to the loss of all or part of your investment. The trading price of our securities could be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control. Any of the factors listed below could have a material adverse effect on your investment in our securities and our securities may trade at prices significantly below the price you paid for them. In such circumstances, the trading price of our securities may not recover and may experience a further decline. 31 Factors affecting the trading price of our securities: ● actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly financial results or the quarterly financial results of companies perceived to be similar to us; ● changes in the market’s expectations about our operating results; ● success of competitors; ● our operating results failing to meet the expectation of securities analysts or investors in a particular period; ● changes in financial estimates and recommendations by securities analysts concerning us or the market in general; ● operating and stock price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable to us; ● our ability to develop product candidates; ● changes in laws and regulations affecting our business; ● commencement of, or involvement in, litigation involving us; ● changes in our capital structure, such as future issuances of securities or the incurrence of additional debt; ● the volume of shares of our securities available for public sale ● any major change in our Board of Directors or management; ● sales of substantial amounts of common stock by our Directors, executive officers or significant stockholders or the perception that such sales could occur; and ● general economic and political conditions such as recessions, interest rates, fuel prices, international currency fluctuations and acts of war or terrorism. If securities or industry analysts do not publish or cease publishing research or reports about us, our business, or our market, or if they change their recommendations regarding our securities adversely, the price and trading volume of our securities could decline. The trading market for our securities is influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts may publish about us, our business, our market, or our competitors. If any of the analysts who currently cover us change their recommendation regarding our stock adversely, or provide more favorable relative recommendations about our competitors, the price of our securities would likely decline. If any analyst who currently cover us were to cease coverage of us or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline. If we obtain additional coverage and any new analyst issues, an adverse or misleading opinion regarding us, our business model, our intellectual property or our stock performance, or if our operating results fail to meet the expectations of analysts, our stock price could decline. A market for our securities may not continue, which would adversely affect the liquidity and price of our securities. The price of our securities may fluctuate significantly due to general market and economic conditions and an active trading market for our securities may not be sustained. In addition, the price of our securities can vary due to general economic conditions and forecasts, our general business condition and the release of our financial reports. If our securities are not listed on, or become delisted from Nasdaq for any reason, and are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, an inter-dealer automated quotation system for equity securities that is not a national securities exchange, the liquidity and price of our securities may be more limited than if we were quoted or listed on Nasdaq or another national securities exchange. You may be unable to sell your securities unless a market can be established or sustained. 32 If we fail to meet all applicable requirements of Nasdaq and Nasdaq determines to delist our common stock, the delisting could adversely affect the market liquidity of our common stock and the market price of our common stock could decrease. If we are unable to satisfy the Nasdaq criteria for continued listing, our common stock would be subject to delisting. A delisting of our common stock could negatively impact us by, among other things, reducing the liquidity and market price of our common stock; reducing the number of investors willing to hold or acquire our common stock, which could negatively impact our ability to raise equity financing; decreasing the amount of news and analyst coverage of us; and limiting our ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future. In addition, delisting from Nasdaq may negatively impact our reputation and, consequently, our business. There can be no assurance that we will maintain compliance with the requirements for listing our common stock on Nasdaq. On April 28, 2025, we received a letter from the Listing Qualifications staff of Nasdaq (the “Nasdaq Staff”) indicating that, as a result of our delay in filing the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2024 (the “2024 Form 10-K”), we were not in compliance with the timely filing requirements for continued listing under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1). The Nasdaq letter had no immediate effect on the listing or trading of our common stock or warrants. The Nasdaq listing rules require Nasdaq-listed companies to timely file all required periodic reports with the SEC. The Nasdaq letter stated that, under Nasdaq rules, the Company had 60 calendar days to submit a plan to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements. We filed our 2024 Form 10-K on April 30, 2025. Subsequently, on November 19, 2025, we received a from the Nasdaq staff indicating that, as a result of our delay in filing the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 28, 2025 (the “Q3 Form 10-Q”), we were not in compliance with the timely filing requirements for continued listing under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1). The Nasdaq letter relating to our Q3 Form 10-Q had no immediate effect on the listing or trading of our common stock or warrants. The Nasdaq letter stated that, under Nasdaq rules, the Company had 60 calendar days to submit a plan to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements. We filed the Q3 Form 10-Q on December 19, 2025. If Nasdaq delists our securities from trading on its exchange for failure to meet the listing standards, we and our stockholders could face significant material adverse consequences including: ● a limited availability of market quotations for our securities; ● a determination that our common stock is a “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in our common stock to adhere to more stringent rules, possibly resulting in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our common stock; ● a limited amount of analyst coverage; and a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market by our shareholders could cause the price of our common stock to decline. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could occur at any time. If our stockholders sell, or the market perceives that our stockholders intend to sell, substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, the market price of our common stock could decline. 33 Provisions in our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws and provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law may delay or prevent an acquisition by a third party that could otherwise be in the interests of shareholders. Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws contain several provisions that may make it more difficult or expensive for a third party to acquire control of us without the approval of our board. These provisions, which may delay, prevent or deter a merger, acquisition, tender offer, proxy contest, or other transaction that stockholders may consider favorable, include the following: ● advance notice requirements for stockholder proposals and director nominations; ● provisions limiting stockholders’ ability to call special meetings of stockholders and to take action by written consent; ● restrictions on business combinations with interested stockholders; ● no cumulative voting; and ● the ability of the Board of Directors to designate the terms of and issue new series of preferred stock without stockholder approval, which could be used, among other things, to institute a rights plan that would have the effect of significantly diluting the stock ownership of a potential hostile acquirer, likely preventing acquisitions by such acquirer. These provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation and Proposed Bylaws could discourage potential takeover attempts and reduce the price that investors might be willing to pay for the shares of our common stock in the future, which could reduce the market price of our common stock. The provision of our Certificate of Incorporation requiring exclusive venue in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware and the federal district courts of the U.S. for certain types of lawsuits may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against directors and officers. Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that, unless otherwise consented to by us in writing, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery does not have jurisdiction, another State court in Delaware or the federal district court for the District of Delaware) will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for the following types of actions or proceedings: ● any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of us; ● any action asserting a claim of breach of a duty (including any fiduciary duty) owed by any of our current or former Directors, officers, stockholders, employees or agents to us or our stockholders; ● any action asserting a claim against us or any of our current or former Directors, officers, stockholders, employees or agents relating to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) or our Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws or as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware; and ● any action asserting a claim against us or any of our current or former Directors, officers, stockholders, employees or agents governed by the internal affairs doctrine of the State of Delaware, in each such case unless the Court of Chancery (or such other state or federal court located within the State of Delaware, as applicable) has dismissed a prior action by the same plaintiff asserting the same claims because such court lacked personal jurisdiction over an indispensable party named as a defendant therein. Our Certificate of Incorporation will further provide that, unless otherwise consented to by us in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the U.S. will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint against any person in connection with any offering of our securities, asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in our securities will be deemed to have notice of and consented to this provision. 34 Although our Certificate of Incorporation contains the choice of forum provisions described above, it is possible that a court could rule that such provisions are inapplicable for a particular claim or action or that such provisions are unenforceable. For example, under the Securities Act, federal courts have concurrent jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act, and investors cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. In addition, Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder, and, therefore, the exclusive forum provisions described above do not apply to any actions brought under the Exchange Act. Although we believe these provisions will benefit us by limiting costly and time-consuming litigation in multiple forums and by providing increased consistency in the application of applicable law, these exclusive forum provisions may limit the ability of our shareholders to bring a claim in a judicial forum that such shareholders find favorable for disputes with us or our Directors, officers or employees, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and our Directors, officers and other employees. We may be required to repurchase up to 5,618,488 shares of common stock from the investors with whom we entered into Forward Purchase Agreements in connection with the closing of the Business Combination, which would reduce the amount of cash available to us to fund our growth plan. On and around July 13, 2023, FACT entered into separate Forward Purchase Agreements (the “Forward Purchase Agreements”) with each of (i) Meteora Special Opportunity Fund I, LP (“ MSOF ”), Meteora Capital Partners, LP (“ MCP ”) and Meteora Select Trading Opportunities Master, LP (“MSTO”) (with MSOF, MCP, and MSTO collectively as “ Meteora ”); (ii) Polar Multi-Strategy Master Fund (“ Polar ”), and (iii) Diametric True Alpha Market Neutral Master Fund, LP, Diametric True Alpha Enhanced Market Neutral Master Fund, LP, and Pinebridge Partners Master Fund, LP (collectively, “Sandia”, and each of Meteora, Polar, and Sandia, individually, an “ FPA Investor ”, and together, the “ FPA Investors ”), pursuant to which FACT (now SunPower (f/k/a Complete Solaria, Inc.) following the closing of the Business Combination) agreed to purchase in the aggregate, on the date that is 24 months after the closing date of the Forward Purchase Agreements (the “ Maturity Date ”), up to 5,618,488 shares of common stock then held by the FPA Investors (subject to certain conditions and purchase limits set forth in the Forward Purchase Agreements). Pursuant to the terms of the Forward Purchase Agreements, each FPA Investor further agreed not to redeem any of the FACT Class A Ordinary Shares owned by it at such time. The per price at which the FPA Investors have the right to sell the shares to us on the Maturity Date will not be less than $5.00 per share. On December 18, 2023, the Company and each FPA Investor entered into separate amendments to the Forward Purchase Agreements (the “ First Amendments”). The First Amendments lower the reset floor price of each Forward Purchase Agreement from $5.00 to $3.00 and allow the Company to raise up to $10,000,000 of equity from existing stockholders without triggering certain anti-dilution provisions contained in the Forward Purchase Agreements; provided, the insiders pay a price per share for their initial investment equal to the closing price per share as quoted on the Nasdaq on the day of purchase; provided, further, that any subsequent investments are made at a price per share equal to the greater of (a) the closing price per share as quoted by Nasdaq on the day of the purchase or (b) the amount paid in connection with the initial investment. On May 7 and 8, 2024, respectively, the Company entered into separate amendments to the Forward Purchase Agreements (the collectively the “ Second Amendments ”) with Sandia (the “ Sandia Second Amendment ”) and Polar (the “ Polar Second Amendment ”). The Second Amendments lower the reset price of each Forward Purchase Agreement from $3.00 to $1.00 per share and amend the VWAP Trigger Event provision to read: “After December 31, 2024, an event that occurs if the VWAP Price, for any 20 trading days during a 30 consecutive trading day-period, is below $1.00 per Share.” The Sandia Second Amendment is not effective until the Company executes similar amendments with both Polar and Meteora. Subsequently, on June 14, 2024, the Company entered into an amendment to the Forward Purchase Agreement with Sandia (the “ Sandia Third Amendment ”). The Sandia Third Amendment sets the reset price of each Forward Purchase Agreement to $1.00 per share and amends the VWAP Trigger Event provision to read: “After December 31, 2024, an event that occurs if the VWAP Price, for any 20 trading days during a 30 consecutive trading day-period, is below $1.00 per Share.” In the event either Polar or Meteora amend their Forward Purchase Agreements to include different terms from the $1.00 reset price and VWAP trigger adjustment, or file a notice of a VWAP trigger event, as referenced herein, the Sandia Forward Purchase Agreement will be retroactively amended to reflect those improved terms and liquidity on the Sandia Forward Purchase Agreement, including any of the 1,050,000 shares that were sold upon execution of the Sandia Forward Purchase Agreement. On July 17, 2024, the Company entered into the third amendment to the Forward Purchase Agreement with Polar (the “ Polar Third Amendment ”), pursuant to which the Company and Polar agreed that Section 2 (Most Favored Nation) of the Forward Purchase Agreement is applicable to all 2,450,000 shares subject to the Forward Purchase Agreement. On July 15, 2025, the Company and Meteora entered into an amendment to the FPA between Meteora and the Company, on July 16, 2025, the Company and Sandia entered into an amendment to the FPA between Sandia and the Company, and on August 1, 2025, the Company and Polar entered in an amendment to the FPA between Polar and the Company (collectively, the “FPA Amendments”). The FPA Amendments extend the valuation date applicable to the Forward Purchase Agreements (the “Valuation Date”) to the earliest to occur of (a) July 17, 2026, (b) the date specified by Meteora or Sandia, as applicable, in a written notice to be delivered to the Company at their discretion and (c) 90 days after delivery by us of a written notice in the event that for any 20 trading days during a 30 consecutive trading day-period that occurs at least six months after the closing date of the transactions under the Amended and Restated Business Combination Agreement entered into on May 26, 2023, the applicable volume-weighted average price (“VWAP Price”) is less than the then applicable reset price, provided that a registration statement was effective and available for the entire measurement period and remains continuously effective and available during the entire 90 day notice period. The FPA Amendments further amend the definition of “Settlement Amount Adjustment” to provide that if the expected Settlement Amount (as defined in the FPA Amendments) determined by the VWAP Price over the 15 scheduled trading days ending on but excluding the valuation date exceeds the Settlement Amount Adjustment, then the Settlement Amount Adjustment shall be deemed to be zero, and that if the Settlement Amount Adjustment exceeds the Settlement Amount, then the Settlement Amount Adjustment shall be paid, at the Company’s option, in cash or shares of our common stock. The FPA Amendments also amend the definition of “Cash Settlement Payment Date” to provide that if the Settlement Amount Adjustment exceeds the Settlement Amount, we shall remit to the applicable seller the difference between (i) the Settlement Amount Adjustment and (ii) the Settlement Amount. The FPA Amendments further provide that the Settlement Amount will be used solely as a calculation mechanism to determine any liability the Company may owe to the applicable seller via the Settlement Amount Adjustment, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the applicable seller shall not be required to remit the Settlement Amount to the Company or return any portion of the Prepayment Amount. 35 If the FPA Investors hold some or all of the 5,618,488 forward purchase agreement shares on the Maturity Date, and the per share trading price of our common stock is less than the per share price at which the FPA Investors have the right to sell the common stock to us on the Maturity Date, we would expect that the FPA Investors will exercise this repurchase right with respect to such shares. In the event that we are required to repurchase these forward purchase agreement shares, or in the event that the Forward Purchase Agreements are terminated, the amount of cash arising from the Business Combination that would ultimately be available to fund our liquidity and capital resource requirements would be reduced accordingly, which would adversely affect our ability to fund our growth plan in the manner we had contemplated when entering into the Forward Purchase Agreements. Warrants to purchase shares of our common stock may not be exercised at all or may be exercised on a cashless basis and we may not receive any cash proceeds from the exercise of such warrants. The exercise price of warrants to purchase shares of our common stock may be higher than the prevailing market price of the underlying shares of common stock. The exercise price of such warrants is subject to market conditions and may not be advantageous if the prevailing market price of the underlying shares of common stock is lower than the exercise price. The cash proceeds associated with the exercise of such warrants to purchase our common stock are contingent upon our stock price. The value of our common stock will fluctuate and may not align with the exercise price of such warrants at any given time. If such warrants are “out of the money,” meaning the exercise price is higher than the market price of our common stock, there is a high likelihood that warrant holders may choose not to exercise their warrants. As a result, we may not receive any proceeds from the exercise of such warrants. Furthermore, with regard to certain warrants to purchase shares of our common stock that were issued in a private placement at the time of FACT’s IPO and warrants issued to certain selling securityholders in connection with conversion of working capital loans, it is possible that we may not receive cash upon their exercise, since these warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis. A cashless exercise allows warrant holders to convert the warrants into shares of our common stock without the need for a cash payment. Instead of paying cash upon exercise, the warrant holder would receive a reduced number of shares based on a predetermined formula. As a result, the number of shares issued through a cashless exercise will be lower than if the warrants were exercised on a cash basis, which could impact the cash proceeds we receive from the exercise of such warrants. Servicing our outstanding debt requires a significant amount of cash, and we may not have sufficient cash flow from our business to pay our substantial debt. Our ability to make scheduled payments of the principal of, to pay interest on or to refinance our indebtedness, including (a) 12.00% Notes due 2029 and the 7.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029 (the 7.00% Notes due 2029 and with the 12.00% Notes due 2029, collectively, the “ Convertible Senior Notes ”) and (b) the convertible note and convertible debenture issued to Yorkville (collectively, the “ Yorkville Notes ”), depends on our future performance, which is subject to economic, financial, competitive and other factors beyond our control. Our business may not continue to generate cash flow from operations in the future sufficient to service our debt and make necessary capital expenditures. Additionally, as a result of the delayed filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2024 and, subsequently, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 28, 2025, we incurred additional interest under the Convertible Senior Notes. If we are unable to generate such cash flow, we may be required to adopt one or more alternatives, such as selling assets, restructuring debt or obtaining additional equity capital on terms that may be onerous or highly dilutive. Our ability to refinance our indebtedness will depend on the capital markets and our financial condition at such time. We may not be able to engage in any of these activities or engage in these activities on desirable terms, which could result in a default on our debt obligations, including the Convertible Senior Notes. The conversion features of the Convertible Senior Notes may adversely affect our financial condition and operating results. The holders of Convertible Senior Notes will be entitled to convert their notes at and during specified periods at their option. If one or more holders elect to convert their notes, unless we elect to satisfy our conversion obligation by delivering solely shares of our common stock (other than paying cash in lieu of delivering any fractional share), at maturity, we would be required to settle a portion or all of our conversion obligation through the payment of cash, which could adversely affect our liquidity. 36 Certain provisions in the indentures or other agreements governing the Convertible Senior Notes, as well as the agreements governing the Yorkville Notes, may delay or prevent an otherwise a beneficial takeover attempt of us. Certain provisions in the indentures or other agreements governing the Convertible Senior Notes may make it more difficult or expensive for a third party to acquire us. For example, the indentures and other agreements governing the Convertible Senior Notes will require us to repurchase the Convertible Senior Notes for cash upon the occurrence of a fundamental change and, in certain circumstances, to increase the conversion rate for a holder that converts its notes in connection with a make-whole fundamental change. A takeover of us may trigger the requirement that we repurchase the Convertible Senior Notes and/or increase the conversion rate, which could make it costlier for a potential acquirer to engage in such takeover. Such additional costs may have the effect of delaying or preventing a takeover of us that would otherwise be beneficial to investors. Conversion of the Convertible Senior Notes or the Yorkville Notes may dilute the ownership interest of our stockholders or may otherwise depress the price of our common stock. The conversion of some or all of the Convertible Senior Notes may dilute the ownership interests of our stockholders. Upon conversion of the Convertible Senior Notes, we have the option to pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock. If we elect to settle our conversion obligation in shares of our common stock or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock, any sales in the public market of our common stock issuable upon such conversion could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our common stock. In addition, the existence of the Convertible Senior Notes may encourage short selling by market participants because the conversion of the Convertible Senior Notes could be used to satisfy short positions, or anticipated conversion of the Convertible Senior Notes into shares of our common stock could depress the price of our common stock. The accounting method for the Convertible Senior Notes could adversely affect our reported financial condition and results. The accounting method for reflecting the Convertible Senior Notes on our balance sheet, accruing interest expense for the Convertible Senior Notes and reflecting the underlying shares of our common stock in our reported diluted earnings per share may adversely affect our reported earnings and financial condition. 37 In addition, we expect that the shares of common stock underlying the Convertible Senior Notes will be reflected in our diluted earnings per share using the “if converted” method. Under that method, diluted earnings per share would generally be calculated assuming that all the Convertible Senior Notes were converted solely into shares of common stock at the beginning of the reporting period, unless the result would be anti-dilutive. The application of the if-converted method may reduce our reported diluted earnings per share to the extent we are profitable in the future, and accounting standards may change in the future in a manner that may adversely affect our diluted earnings per share. Furthermore, if any of the conditions to the convertibility of the Convertible Senior Notes is satisfied, then we may be required under applicable accounting standards to reclassify the liability carrying value of the Convertible Senior Notes as a current, rather than a long-term, liability. This reclassification could be required even if no noteholders or holders of affiliate notes convert their notes or affiliate notes, respectively, following the satisfaction of those conditions and could materially reduce our reported working capital. Future sales (including potential sales of securities to White Lion pursuant to the White Lion Purchase Agreement and potential sales to Yorkville under the Yorkville Purchase Agreement), or the perception of future sales, by us or our stockholders in the public market could cause the market price for the common stock to decline. The sale of shares of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could harm the prevailing market price of shares of our common stock. These sales, or the possibility that these sales may occur, also might make it more difficult for the us to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that it deems appropriate. In the future, we may issue our securities to raise capital or in connection with investments or acquisitions. The amount of shares of common stock issued or issuable upon exercise or conversion of securities issued in connection with a capital raise or an investment or acquisition could constitute a material portion of the then-outstanding shares of our common stock. Any issuance of additional securities in connection with capital raising activities, investments or acquisitions may result in additional dilution to our stockholders. ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS None. ITEM 1C. CYBERSECURITY Risk management and strategy We are in the process of implementing various information security procedures designed to identify, assess and manage material risks from cybersecurity threats to our critical computer networks, third party hosted services, communications systems, hardware and software, and our critical data, including intellectual property, confidential information that is proprietary, strategic or competitive in nature. Our Senior Vice President of IT, Chief Legal Officer, and Chief Financial Officer help identify, assess and manage the Company’s cybersecurity threats and risks. They will identify and assess risks from cybersecurity threats by monitoring and evaluating our threat environment using various methods including, for example manual and automated tools, subscribing to reports and services that identify cybersecurity threats, conducting scans of the threat environment, evaluating threats reported to us, internal and external audits, conducting threat assessments for internal and external threats, third-party threat assessments and conducting vulnerability assessments to identify vulnerabilities. 38 Depending on the environment, we are in the process of implementing various technical, physical, and organizational measures, processes, standards and policies designed to manage and mitigate material risks from cybersecurity threats to our Information Systems and Data, including, for example: incident response plan, incident detection, vulnerability management policy, network security controls, access controls, physical controls, systems monitoring, vendor risk management program, employee training, penetration testing, and systems monitoring. Our assessment and management of material risks from cybersecurity threats will be integrated into the Company’s overall risk management processes. For example, our Information Security Management committee will evaluate material risks from cybersecurity threats against our overall business objectives and report to the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors, which evaluates our overall enterprise risk. We use third-party service providers to assist us from time to time to identify, assess, and manage material risks from cybersecurity threats, including for example, professional services firms, including legal counsel, cybersecurity consultants, cybersecurity software providers and penetration testing firms. We use third-party service providers to perform a variety of functions throughout our business, such as application providers and hosting companies. For a description of the risks from cybersecurity threats that may materially affect the Company and how they may do so, see our risk factors under Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including “Any unauthorized access to or disclosure or theft of personal information we gather, store or use could harm our reputation and subject us to claims or litigation.” Governance The Audit Committee assists our Board of Directors in addressing the Company’s cybersecurity risk management as part of its general oversight function. The Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing Company’s cybersecurity risk management processes, including oversight of mitigation of risks from cybersecurity threats. The Audit Committee regularly reviews and discusses the Company’s cybersecurity risks with management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Administrative Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Legal Officer, and other applicable leaders. Our Senior Vice President of IT is responsible for hiring appropriate personnel, helping to integrate cybersecurity risk considerations into the Company’s overall risk management strategy, and communicating key priorities to relevant personnel. The Chief Financial Officer is responsible for approving budgets, helping prepare for cybersecurity incidents, approving cybersecurity processes, and reviewing security assessments and other security-related reports. Our cybersecurity incident response policy is being designed to escalate certain cybersecurity incidents to members of management depending on the circumstances. The Company’s Senior Vice President of IT works to help the Company mitigate and remediate cybersecurity incidents of which they are notified. In addition, the Company’s incident response policy will include reporting certain cybersecurity incidents to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. ITEM 2.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities In the fiscal year ended December 28, 2025, SunPower Inc. issued 4,010,000 shares of its common stock to White Lion Capital LLC for proceeds of $6.7 million. These sales were completed pursuant to our equity line of credit with White Lion, and the shares were sold pursuant to the exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The proceeds of these transactions were used for working capital and other general corporate purposes. Dividends We have never declared or paid any cash dividend on our common stock and have no plans to pay dividends. For more information on our common stock and dividend rights, see “Item 8.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed below. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include those identified below and those discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors” included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Please also see the section titled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” Overview SunPower Inc. is the rebranded name of Complete Solaria, Inc. The rebranding was effective April 22, 2025 and our legal name change became effective on October 16, 2025. We are headquartered in Orem, Utah. 40 Our Company was originally incorporated in Delaware as Complete Solar, Inc. on February 22, 2010. In 2022, Complete Solar, Inc. implemented a holding company reorganization creating Complete Solar Holding Corporation (“Complete Solar Holding”) as successor to Complete Solar, Inc. Complete Solar Holding then acquired The Solaria Corporation in November 2022 and we changed our name to Complete Solaria, Inc. We created a technology platform to offer clean energy products to homeowners by enabling a national network of sales partners and build partners. Our sales partners generate solar installation contracts with homeowners on our behalf. To facilitate this process, we provide the software tools, sales support and brand identity to our sales partners, making them competitive with national providers. This turnkey solution makes it easy for anyone to sell solar. On July 18, 2023, we consummated a series of merger transactions contemplated by an Amended and Restated Business Combination Agreement entered into with wholly-owned subsidiaries of Freedom Acquisition I Corp. (“FACT”) (“Mergers”), equating to a reverse recapitalization for accounting purposes. Under the reverse recapitalization of accounting, FACT was treated as the acquired company for financial statement reporting purposes. This determination was based on us having a majority of the voting power of the post-combination company, our senior management comprising substantially all of the senior management of the post-combination company, and our operations comprising the ongoing operations of the post-combination company. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Mergers were treated as the equivalent of a capital transaction in which we issued stock for the net assets of FACT. The net assets of FACT were stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. In October 2023, we completed the sale of our solar panel business. On September 30, 2024, we acquired certain assets relating to the Blue Raven Solar business, New Homes business and Non-Installing Dealer network (collectively the “SunPower Businesses”) from the SunPower Debtors, the successor entity in bankruptcy to SunPower Corporation and its direct and indirect subsidiaries. The acquired SunPower Businesses sell products to residential customers and home builders through a network of installing and non-installing dealers and resellers and internal sales team. On September 24, 2025, we completed the acquisition of Sunder Energy, LLC, (“Sunder”), which contracts with customers for solar installations performed by third-party installation companies through a dealer network. On November 21, 2025, we completed the acquisition of Ambia Energy LLC, (“Ambia”) a residential solar energy system installer. We fulfill our customer contracts by using in-house installation experts and by engaging with local construction specialists. We manage the customer experience and complete all pre-construction activities prior to delivering build-ready projects including hardware, engineering plans, and building permits to our builder partners. We manage and coordinate this process through our proprietary software system. There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued. The consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K have been prepared assuming that we will continue to operate as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. They do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from uncertainty related to its ability to continue as a going concern. 41 Growth Strategy and Outlook Our growth strategy contains the following elements: ● Increase revenue by expanding installation capacity and developing new geographic markets – We continue to expand our network of partners who will install systems resulting from sales generated by our sales partners. By leveraging this network of skilled builders in addition to our in-house installation experts, we aim to increase our installation capacity in our traditional markets and expand our offering into new geographies throughout the U.S. This will enable greater sales growth in existing markets and create new revenue in expansion markets. ● Increase revenue and margin by engaging national-scale sales partners – We aim to offer a turnkey solar solution to prospective sales partners with a national footprint. These include electric vehicle manufacturers, national home security providers, and real estate brokerages. We expect to create a consistent offering with a single execution process for such sales partners throughout their geographic territories. These national accounts have unique customer relationships that we believe will facilitate meaningful sales opportunities and low cost of acquisition to both increase revenue and improve margin. ● Increase revenue and margin by executing on a battery storage opportunity – We have an opportunity to increase our revenue and margin in the battery space through our partnership with Enphase. By providing homeowners with an option to include battery storage as part of their solar system install, we believe there will be a greater need for battery storage as the demand and costs of energy will increase. The Mergers We entered into an Amended and Restated Business Combination Agreement with FACT, First Merger Sub, Second Merger Sub, and Solaria on October 3, 2022. The Merger was consummated on July 18, 2023. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger, (i) First Merger Sub merged with and into Complete Solaria with Complete Solaria surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of FACT (the “ First Merger ”), (ii) immediately thereafter and as part of the same overall transaction, Complete Solaria merged with and into Second Merger Sub, with Second Merger Sub surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of FACT (the “ Second Merger ”), and FACT changed its name to “Complete Solaria, Inc.” and Second Merger Sub changed its name to “CS, LLC” and (iii) immediately after the consummation of the Second Merger and as part of the same overall transaction, Solaria merged with and into a newly formed Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of FACT and changed its name to “The SolarCA LLC” (“ Third Merger Sub ”), with Third Merger Sub surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of FACT (the “Additional Merger”, and together with the First Merger and the Second Merger, the “ Mergers ”). The Mergers between Complete Solaria and FACT were accounted for as a reverse recapitalization. Under this method of accounting, FACT was treated as the acquired company for financial statement reporting purposes. This determination was primarily based on the Company having a majority of the voting power of the post-combination company, the Company’s senior management comprising substantially all of the senior management of the post-combination company, and the Company’s operations comprising the ongoing operations of the post-combination company. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Mergers were treated as the equivalent of a capital transaction in which Complete Solaria issued stock for the net assets of FACT. The net assets of FACT were stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. 42 Disposal Transaction In October 2023, we completed the divestiture of our solar panel business to Maxeon (“ Divestiture ”), pursuant to the terms of the Disposal Agreement. Under the terms of the Disposal Agreement, Maxeon agreed to acquire certain assets and employees of Complete Solaria, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $11.0 million consisting of 1,100,000 shares of Maxeon ordinary shares. We determined that the criteria were met for discontinued operations classification as the divestiture represented a strategic shift in our business. In connection with the Divestiture, we recognized a loss from discontinued operations of $1.1 million, $2.0 million and $173.4 million in the fiscal years ended December 28, 2025, December 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. We also sold all the Maxeon shares in the year ended December 31, 2023, and recorded a $4.2 million loss on the sale of these shares in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Acquisitions Certain Assets of SunPower Debtors On September 30, 2024, we acquired the SunPower Businesses for consideration of $54.5 million which we financed through the issuance of $66.8 million of 7.0% senior unsecured convertible notes in September 2024. These notes mature on July 1, 2029 and are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the option of the holder at a current conversion rate of $1.71 per share. The SunPower Businesses operated as a solar technology and energy services provider that offered fully integrated solar, storage, and home energy solutions to customers in the United States through an array of hardware, software, and “Smart Energy” solutions. This transaction was accounted for as a business combination under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations . Sunder Energy LLC On September 24, 2025, we acquired all of the membership interests in Sunder Energy LLC (“Sunder”) for consideration of $57.8 million. We financed this transaction through (1) $20.7 million in cash, subject to certain working capital and other adjustments; (2) a promissory note to the seller in the principal amount of $20.0 million (“Seller Note”); and (3) 10.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $17.1 million (based on the $1.71 closing share price of the Company’s common stock on September 24, 2025). We issued 3.3 million shares at the acquisition date and will issue the remining shares in two equal tranches of 3.3 million shares at 12 months and 18 months following the date of acquisition. Sunder is a solar sales company. Sunder provides a third-party solar energy sales force to initiate and execute contracts with customers throughout the United States. Sunder’s sales force works with solar installation companies in which Sunder acts as the agent for each transaction entered. Sunder earns revenue from contracts sold to customers for solar installations performed by third-party installation companies. We acquired Sunder as a strategic acquisition to expand its overall market share and its penetration into more U.S. states. We accounted for this transaction as a business combination under ASC 805. Ambia Energy LLC On November 21, 2025, we acquired all of the membership interests in Ambia Energy LLC (“Ambia”) for consideration of $33.4 million. We financed this acquisition through the issuance of 10.2 million shares of our common stock with a fair value of $16.5 million on the date of acquisition and an agreement to issue an additional $16.9 million in shares of our common stock in two tranches with the final issuance on the 12-month anniversary of the Ambia closing. Ambia is a residential solar energy system installer and operates in various markets throughout the United States. 43 Supply Chain Constraints and Risk The global supply chain and our industry have experienced significant disruptions in recent periods. We have seen supply chain challenges and logistics constraints increase, including shortages of panels, inverters, batteries and associated component parts for inverters and solar energy systems available for purchase, which materially impacted our results of operations. These shortages and delays can be attributed in part to the broader macroeconomic conditions and have been exacerbated by the conflicts in Ukraine and Israel. If any of our suppliers of solar modules experienced disruptions in the supply of the modules’ component parts, for example semiconductor solar wafers or inverters, this may decrease production capabilities and restrict our inventory and sales. In addition, we have experienced and are experiencing varying levels of volatility in costs of equipment and labor resulting in part from disruptions caused by general global economic conditions. While inflationary pressures have resulted in higher costs of products, in part due to an increase in the cost of the materials and wage rates, these additional costs have been offset by the related rise in electricity rates. We cannot predict the full effects the supply chain constraints will have on our business, cash flows, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations at this time due to numerous uncertainties. Given the dynamic nature of these circumstances on our ongoing business, results of operations and overall financial performance, the full impact of macroeconomic factors, including the conflicts in Ukraine and Israel, cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. In the event we are unable to mitigate the impact of delays or price volatility in solar energy systems, raw materials, and freight, it could materially adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. For additional information on risk factors that could impact our results, please refer to “ Risk Factors ” located elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Key Financial Definitions/Components of Results of Operations Revenues We recognize revenue for the Residential Solar Installation and New Homes Business reportable segments when installation is substantially complete, the system is capable of interconnection to the local power grid, and control has transferred to the customer. Installation activities—including system design, equipment delivery, installation, and grid interconnection—are treated as a single performance obligation. For most contracts, revenue is recognized over time beginning upon installation, using an input method based on direct installation costs. Installation costs incurred prior to this point are deferred. Residential Solar Installation revenue is generated through cash sales, third-party financing arrangements, and power purchase or lease structures. Homeowners are the customers in cash and financing arrangements, while leasing partners are the customers in power purchase and lease arrangements. New Homes Business revenue is primarily generated from sales to homebuilders, with limited lease arrangements recognized upon system acceptance. Revenue is recorded at the transaction price, net of customer incentives and financing-related fees, and may include estimated variable consideration. Deferred revenue represents amounts billed or collected in advance of performance. None of the Company’s arrangements contain a significant financing component. With respect to our Dealer reportable segment, we earn revenue from contracts in which solar installations are performed by third-party installation companies. In these arrangements, our performance obligation is to facilitate the transaction and arrange for installation services rather than provide those services directly. As a result, we act as an agent and recognize revenue on a net basis, representing the fee retained by us. Dealer revenue is recognized at a point in time when Permission to Operate (“PTO”) is obtained, which indicates that installation is complete and the system is authorized for operation. These arrangements do not include significant financing components, and we do not provide warranty services related to dealer-installed systems. Costs to Obtain and Fulfill Contracts Our costs to obtain and fulfill contracts, when recognized, associated with systems sales are expensed as sales commission and cost of revenue, respectively. In addition, incentives we provide to our customers, such as discounts and rebates, are recorded net to the revenue we have recognized on the solar power system. 44 Costs of Revenues Cost of revenues is comprised primarily of cost of material, internal labor costs, third-party subcontractors, design services, engineering personnel and employee-related expenses associated with permitting services, associated warranty costs, freight and delivery costs, depreciation, amortization of internally developed software and amortization of developed technology. Cost of revenues from these services is recognized when we transfer control of the product to the customer, which is generally upon installation. Operating Expenses Sales Commissions Sales commissions are direct and incremental costs of obtaining customer contracts. These costs are paid to internal sales teams and third-party vendors who source residential customer contracts for the sale of solar energy systems. Sales and Marketing Sales and marketing expenses primarily consist of personnel related costs, including salaries and employee benefits, stock-based compensation, and other advertising and promotional expenses. We expense certain sales and marketing, including promotional expenses, as incurred. General and Administrative General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel and related expenses for employees, in our finance, research, engineering, and administrative teams including salaries, bonuses, payroll taxes, and stock-based compensation. It also consists of legal, consulting, and professional fees, rent expenses pertaining to our offices, depreciation expense, business insurance costs and other costs. Other (Expense) Income, Net Other non-operating income, net We classify changes in the fair value of (i) derivative liabilities associated with our debt, (ii) warrant liabilities, (iii) Simple Agreements for Future Equity (“SAFE”), and (iv) forward purchase agreements (“FPAs”) as non-operating gains and losses within this category. Critical Accounting Estimates Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. In many instances, we could have reasonably used different accounting estimates, and in other instances, changes in the accounting estimates are reasonably likely to occur from period-to-period. Actual results could differ significantly from our estimates. Our future financial statements will be affected to the extent that our actual results materially differ from these estimates. For further information on all of our significant accounting policies, see Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We believe that policies associated with our revenue recognition and business combination have the greatest impact on our consolidated financial statements. Therefore, we consider these to be our critical accounting policies and estimates. 45 Revenue Recognition Revenue recognition involves significant judgment in determining the timing of control transfer, identification of the customer, estimation of variable consideration, and measurement of progress toward completion. For the Residential Solar Installation and New Homes Business segments, the Company’s performance obligation is the design and installation of a fully functioning solar energy system, which includes design, equipment delivery, installation, and grid interconnection services. These activities are combined into a single performance obligation. Revenue is generally recognized over time using an input method based on direct installation costs, beginning when installation is complete and control of the system begins to transfer to the customer. This approach requires management to estimate total expected installation costs, and changes in these estimates may impact the timing and amount of revenue recognized. Installation costs incurred prior to the transfer of control are deferred. For certain New Homes Business lease arrangements, revenue is recognized at a point in time upon system acceptance. In arrangements involving financing partners or leasing partners, judgment is required to determine the appropriate customer, which affects revenue timing and presentation. Dealer segment revenue is recognized on a net basis at the point in time when Permission to Operate is obtained. The transaction price may include variable consideration, which is estimated using the most likely amount and constrained to amounts for which a significant revenue reversal is not probable. Estimates are reassessed each reporting period, and changes are recognized prospectively. Revenue is recorded net of customer incentives and does not include a significant financing component. Changes in assumptions related to these estimates could materially affect reported revenue and deferred balances. Dealer revenue is recognized at a point in time when PTO is obtained, which indicates that installation is complete and the system is authorized for operation. These arrangements do not include significant financing components, and we do not provide warranty services related to dealer-installed systems. Accounting for Business Combinations We record all acquired assets and liabilities, including goodwill, and other identifiable intangible assets at fair value. The initial recognition of identifiable intangible assets, requires certain estimates and assumptions concerning the determination of the fair values and useful lives. The judgments made in the context of the purchase price allocation can materially affect our future results of operations. Accordingly, when valuing identifiable intangible assets, we obtain assistance from third-party valuation specialists. The valuations calculated from estimates are based on information available at the acquisition date. Goodwill is not amortized but is subject to annual tests for impairment or more frequent tests if events or circumstances indicate it may be impaired. Other intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are subject to impairment if events or circumstances indicate a possible inability to realize the carrying amount. 46 Recent Accounting Pronouncements A discussion of recently issued accounting standards applicable to our Company is described in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Revenues We disaggregate our revenues based on the following reportable segments (in thousands) : Fiscal Year Ended December 28, December 29, $ % 2025 2024 Change Change Residential Solar Installation $ 160,987 $ 67,460 $ 93,527 139 % New Homes Business 124,595 41,282 83,313 202 Dealer 14,418 — 14,418 * Total revenues $ 300,000 $ 108,742 $ 191,258 176 * Percentage change not meaningful. Residential Solar Installation revenue increased primarily attributed to a full year of Solar Installation due to the acquisition of SunPower Businesses at the beginning of our fourth quarter in fiscal year ended December 29, 2024. New Homes Business increased due to the sale of solar system sales to home builders and the completion of backlog projects acquired with the SunPower Businesses. Dealer revenues are attributable to the acquisition of Sunder. Cost of Revenues and Gross Margin Fiscal Year Ended December 28, December 29, $ % 2025 2024 Change Change Residential Solar Installation $ 88,400 $ 45,266 $ 43,134 95 % New Homes Business 82,288 23,974 58,314 243 Dealer 100 — 100 — Total cost of revenues $ 170,788 $ 69,240 $ 101,548 147 Gross Margin 43 % 36 % * Percentage change not meaningful. 48 Residential Solar Installation cost of revenue increase is primarily attributed to a full year of Solar Installation as described above. New Homes Business cost of revenue increased as a result of a full year of completing backlog and the inventory costs associated with each solar system sale. Cost of revenues attributable to the Dealer network is attributable to the acquisition of Sunder. The increase in gross margins is attributed to operational efficiencies gained through the synergies created by consolidating the various lines of business and streamlining direct overhead costs attributed to each solar installation.

Residential Solar Installation expense increased in fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024 due to increase in overall headcount due to combined business and increasing sales and marketing footprint. New Homes Business increased when compared to prior year primarily attributable to our decision to invest in sales and marketing efforts in fiscal 2025. General and Administrative Fiscal Year Ended December 28, December 29, $ % 2025 2024 Change Change Residential Solar Installation $ 58,597 $ 57,641 $ 956 2 % New Homes Business 29,648 18,953 10,695 56 Dealer 1,859 — 1,859 * Total general and administrative $ 90,104 $ 76,594 $ 13,510 18 * Percentage change not meaningful. 49 Residential Solar Installation expenses decreased as a result of declines in our legacy operations following a strategic resizing of this reportable segment including reduction of personnel costs. New Homes Business increased due a full year of operations in fiscal 2025. Dealer reportable segment expenses increased entirely attributable to our acquisition of Sunder. Interest Expense Interest expense inclusive of amortization of debt issuance costs was $25.1 million in fiscal 2025 and principally consisted of $20.4 million attributable to our 7.0% senior unsecured convertible notes and $3.4 million attributable to our 12.0% senior unsecured convertible notes with the remainder attributable to interest expense on our other obligations. Interest expense inclusive of amortization of debt issuance costs was $16.2 million in fiscal 2024 and principally consisted of (i) $5.5 million related to our 7.0% senior unsecured convertible notes, (ii) $3.5 million related to our 12.0% senior unsecured convertible notes, (iii) $5.8 million relating to obligations that were exchanged during fiscal 2024 for 12.0% senior unsecured convertible notes, and (iv) other of $1.4 million. Other Non-Operating Income, Net Other non-operating income, net, was $9.3 million in in fiscal 2025. Other income principally consisted of $11.5 million of gains from changes in the fair value of derivative liabilities associated with our 12.0% and 7.0% senior unsecured convertible notes and other non-cash income and other of $1.3 million. These gains were partially offset by a $2.8 million increase in the fair value of our public, private placement and working capital warrants accounted for as liabilities, $0.5 million increase in the fair value of our forward purchase agreements liabilities, and $0.2 million increase in the fair value of a SAFE Agreement liability. Other non-operating income, net was $7.9 million in fiscal 2024. The amounts consisted primarily of a $34.0 million gain on remeasurement of derivative liabilities associated with our 12.0% and 7.0% senior unsecured convertible notes, a $2.9 million net gain due to changes in fair values of warrants accounted for as liabilities, a $0.6 million gain due to the change in the fair value of SAFE Agreements and net other of $0.2 million partially offset by a $24.7 million loss on issuance of a derivative liabilities, $3.8 million of other financing costs and $1.3 million loss on the conversion of SAFE Agreements. Net Loss from Continuing Operations Our net loss from continuing operations in 2025, was $44.3 million, a decrease in net loss of $10.1 million, as compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $54.4 million in 2024. Liquidity and Capital Resources Sources of Liquidity Since inception, we have incurred losses and negative cash flows from operations. We incurred net losses of $41.7 million and $56.5 million, in 2025 and 2024, respectively, and had an accumulated deficit of $453.1 million and current debt of $24.3 million as of December 28, 2025. We had cash and cash equivalents (excluding restricted cash) of $9.6 million as of December 28, 2025, which is held for working capital expenditures. We believe our operating losses and negative operating cash flows will continue into the foreseeable future. 50 We finance our continuing operations through the revenue we collect and through the issuance of debt and equity instruments. For expenses related to mergers and acquisition and payments on our debt obligation we rely on sales of equity securities, the issuance of debt instruments, SAFE Agreements, leases and cash generated from operations. Our cash equivalents are on deposit with major financial institutions. Our cash position raises substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern for 12 months following the issuance of the accompanying consolidated financial statements. In the fiscal year ended December 28, 2025, we issued a $20.0 million Seller note and $22.0 million of 7.0% senior unsecured convertible notes to finance our acquisition of Sunder. We also issued $7.0 million in 12.0% senior unsecured convertible notes to entities related to our CEO in fiscal 2025 to finance our operations. As of December 28, 2025, we had negative working capital, including cash and cash equivalents, of $38.0 million. Borrowings Our contractual debt obligations consist of the following principal amounts excluding unamortized debt issuance costs and accrued interest (in thousands) : As of December 28, December 29, $ % 2025 2024 Change Change 12.0% senior unsecured convertible notes (1) $ 63,801 $ 59,587 $ 4,214 7 % 7.0% senior unsecured convertible notes 87,293 79,800 7,493 9 Seller note – related party 20,000 — 20,000 * Loan with related party 1,500 1,500 — * Total amount of debt outstanding $ 172,594 $ 140,887 $ 31,707 23 * Not meaningful. (1) In connection with an exchange of debt in fiscal 2024 for $18.0 million of the principal amount of the 12% senior unsecured convertible notes, we also capitalized all future interest (including coupon interest, default interest and failure to file interest) associated with this portion of the notes which amounts to $10.8 million and $13.6 million as of December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024, respectively. These amounts are included in the above table. In the fiscal year ended December 28, 2025, we issued $7.0 million principal amount of 12.0% senior unsecured convertible notes to an entity controlled by our CEO, for an aggregate related party principal balance of $25.0 million principal amount of the 12.0% senior unsecured convertible notes. In the fiscal year ended December 28, 2025, we issued $22.0 million principal amount of 7% senior unsecured convertible notes and $14.7 million principal amount of 7% senior unsecured convertible notes were converted into approximately 8.6 million shares of our common stock. We pay interest on both the 7.0% and 12.0% senior unsecured convertible notes semi-annually on January 1 and July 1. The principal amount of these senior unsecured convertible notes is due in full on July 1, 2029. In September 2025, we issued the Seller note in the principal amount of $20.0 million in connection with our acquisition of Sunder Energy LLC. Interest accrues under the Seller note at a rate of 7.0%. Principal and interest are payable upon maturity on the earlier of May 15, 2026, subject to certain terms that defer the maturity date to September 30, 2026, depending on the amount of outstanding indebtedness under our Yorkville facilities. 51 Refer to Note 10 – Borrowings and Derivative Liabilities, in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information on our debt obligations. We received a deposit of $2.0 million from the Rodgers Revocable Trust, a party to our CEO, in the fiscal year ended December 28, 2025. In January 2026, we received an additional $1.3 million in proceeds from the Rodgers Revocable Trust and together with the $2.0 million, we issued a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $3.3 million (the “January 2026 Note”). The January 2026 Note will mature on July 1, 2029, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. Interest on the January 2026 Note is payable semiannually in arrears on January1 and July 1 of each year, beginning on July 1, 2026. Common stock purchase agreement with White Lion Capital LLC (“White Lion”) We have a common stock purchase agreement with White Lion for an equity line of credit financing facility (“White Lion SPA”). Pursuant to the White Lion SPA, we have the right, but not the obligation, to require White Lion to purchase, from time to time, up to $30 million in aggregate gross purchase price of newly issued shares of our common stock, subject to the caps and certain limitations and conditions set forth in the White Lion SPA, including terms that restrict our ability to issue shares of common stock to White Lion that would result in White Lion beneficially owning more than 9.99% of our outstanding common stock. On August 14, 2024, we entered into Amendment No. 2 to the White Lion SPA (collectively with the White Lion SPA “White Lion Amended SPA”). The White Lion Amended SPA provides that we may notify White Lion to exercise our right to sell shares of our common stock by delivering an Hour Rapid Purchase Notice. If we deliver an Hour Rapid Purchase Notice, we shall deliver to White Lion shares of our common stock not to exceed the lesser of (i) five percent of the Average Daily Trading Volume on the date of an Hour Rapid Purchase Notice and (ii) 100,000 shares of common stock. The closing of the transactions under an Hour Rapid Purchase Notice will occur one Business Day following the date on which the Hour Rapid Purchase Notice is delivered. At such closing, White Lion will pay us the Hour Rapid Purchase Investment Amount equal to the number of shares of our common stock subject to the applicable Hour Rapid Purchase Notice multiplied by the lowest traded price of our common stock during the one-hour period following White Lion’s consent to the acceptance of the applicable Hour Rapid Purchase Notice. Under this arrangement, we received proceeds of $6.7 million and $6.7 million in the years ended December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024, respectively. Refer to Note 14 – Common Stock and Common Stock Warrants , in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information on our lease obligations. On January 11, 2026, we and White Lion entered into Amendment No. 3 (“Amendment No. 3”) to the White Lion SPA. Amendment No. 3 extends the commitment period under the White Lion SPA (the “Commitment Period”) to the earlier of December 31,2027 and the date on which White Lion has purchased an aggregate number of shares of our common stock equal to the Commitment Amount (as defined below). Further, Amendment No. 3 increases, subject to approval by our stockholders, the commitment amount under the Purchase Agreement to $55.0 million of shares of our common stock (the “Commitment Amount”), which we may elect to sell to White Lion pursuant to the White Lion SPA, from time to time in our sole discretion, during the Commitment Period. As a result of our total sales of common stock to White Lion as of January 12, 2026, we may receive up to an additional $48.5 million in gross proceeds after such date under the White Lion Purchase Agreement (assuming the shares to be issued are sold at a price of $1.00 per share) if our stockholders authorize the increase in the White Lion Commitment Amount to $55.0 million. In addition, Amendment No. 3 adds an option for us to submit three hour rapid purchase notices to White Lion that, if accepted by White Lion and otherwise delivered in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, would enable us to sell shares of our common stock to White Lion based on the lowest traded price of our common stock during the three-hour valuation period following White Lion’s written acceptance of a three hour purchase notice. 52 Forward Purchase Agreements On and around July 13, 2023, FACT entered into separate Forward Purchase Agreements (the “Forward Purchase Agreements”) with each of (i) Meteora Special Opportunity Fund I, LP (“MSOF”), Meteora Capital Partners, LP (“MCP”) and Meteora Select Trading Opportunities Master, LP (“MSTO”) (with MSOF, MCP, and MSTO collectively as “Meteora”); (ii) Polar Multi-Strategy Master Fund (“Polar”), and (iii) Diametric True Alpha Market Neutral Master Fund, LP, Diametric True Alpha Enhanced Market Neutral Master Fund, LP, and Pinebridge Partners Master Fund, LP (collectively, “Sandia”, and each of Meteora, Polar, and Sandia, individually, an “FPA Investor”, and together, the “FPA Investors”), pursuant to which FACT (now SunPower (f/k/a Complete Solaria, Inc.) following the closing of the Business Combination) agreed to purchase in the aggregate, on the date that was originally 24 months after the closing date of the Forward Purchase Agreements, up to 5,618,488 shares of common stock then held by the FPA Investors (subject to certain conditions and purchase limits set forth in the Forward Purchase Agreements). Pursuant to the terms of the Forward Purchase Agreements, each FPA Investor further agreed not to redeem any of the FACT Class A Ordinary Shares owned by it at such time. The per price at which the FPA Investors have the right to sell the shares to us on the original maturity date will not be less than $5.00 per share. On December 18, 2023, we and each FPA Investor entered into separate amendments to the Forward Purchase Agreements (the “First Amendments”). The First Amendments lower the reset floor price of each Forward Purchase Agreement from $5.00 to $3.00 and allow us to raise up to $10.0 million of equity from existing stockholders without triggering certain anti-dilution provisions contained in the Forward Purchase Agreements; provided, the insiders pay a price per share for their initial investment equal to the closing price per share as quoted on the Nasdaq on the day of purchase; provided, further, that any subsequent investments are made at a price per share equal to the greater of (a) the closing price per share as quoted by Nasdaq on the day of the purchase or (b) the amount paid in connection with the initial investment. On May 7 and 8, 2024, respectively, we entered into separate amendments to the Forward Purchase Agreements (the collectively the “Second Amendments”) with Sandia (the “Sandia Second Amendment”) and Polar (the “Polar Second Amendment”). The Second Amendments lower the reset price of each Forward Purchase Agreement from $3.00 to $1.00 per share and amend the VWAP (as defined below) Trigger Event provision to read: “After December 31, 2024, an event that occurs if the VWAP Price, for any 20 trading days during a 30 consecutive trading day-period, is below $1.00 per Share.” The Sandia Second Amendment is not effective until we execute similar amendments with both Polar and Meteora. Subsequently, on June 14, 2024, we entered into an amendment to the Forward Purchase Agreement with Sandia (the “Sandia Third Amendment”). The Sandia Third Amendment sets the reset price of each Forward Purchase Agreement to $1.00 per share and amends the VWAP Trigger Event provision to read: “After December 31, 2024, an event that occurs if the VWAP Price, for any 20 trading days during a 30 consecutive trading day-period, is below $1.00 per Share.” In the event either Polar or Meteora amend their Forward Purchase Agreements to include different terms from the $1.00 reset price and VWAP trigger adjustment, or file a notice of a VWAP trigger event, as referenced herein, the Sandia Forward Purchase Agreement will be retroactively amended to reflect those improved terms and liquidity on the Sandia Forward Purchase Agreement, including any of the 1,050,000 shares that were sold upon execution of the Sandia Forward Purchase Agreement. On July 17, 2024, we entered into the third amendment to the Forward Purchase Agreement with Polar (the “Polar Third Amendment”), pursuant to which we and Polar agreed that Section 2 (Most Favored Nation) of the Forward Purchase Agreement is applicable to all 2,450,000 shares subject to the Forward Purchase Agreement. On July 15, 2025, we and Meteora entered into an amendment to the FPA between Meteora and us, on July 16, 2025, we and Sandia entered into an amendment to the FPA between Sandia and us, and on August 1, 2025, we and Polar entered in an amendment to the FPA between Polar and us (collectively, the “FPA Amendments”). The FPA Amendments extend the valuation date applicable to the Forward Purchase Agreements (the “Valuation Date”) to the earliest to occur of (a) July 17, 2026, (b) the date specified by Meteora or Sandia, as applicable, in a written notice to be delivered to us at their discretion and (c) 90 days after delivery by us of a written notice in the event that for any 20 trading days during a 30 consecutive trading day-period that occurs at least six months after the closing date of the transactions under the Amended and Restated Business Combination Agreement entered into on May 26, 2023, the applicable volume-weighted average price (“VWAP Price”) is less than the then applicable reset price, provided that a registration statement was effective and available for the entire measurement period and remains continuously effective and available during the entire 90 day notice period. The FPA Amendments further amend the definition of “Settlement Amount Adjustment” to provide that if the expected Settlement Amount (as defined in the FPA Amendments) determined by the VWAP Price over the 15 scheduled trading days ending on but excluding the valuation date exceeds the Settlement Amount Adjustment, then the Settlement Amount Adjustment shall be deemed to be zero, and that if the Settlement Amount Adjustment exceeds the Settlement Amount, then the Settlement Amount Adjustment shall be paid, at the Company’s option, in cash or shares of our common stock. The FPA Amendments also amend the definition of “Cash Settlement Payment Date” to provide that if the Settlement Amount Adjustment exceeds the Settlement Amount, we shall remit to the applicable seller the difference between (i) the Settlement Amount Adjustment and (ii) the Settlement Amount. The FPA Amendments further provide that the Settlement Amount will be used solely as a calculation mechanism to determine any liability we may owe to the applicable seller via the Settlement Amount Adjustment, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the applicable seller shall not be required to remit the Settlement Amount to the Company or return any portion of the Prepayment Amount. As a result of these terms, the Forward Purchase Agreements represent a potential use of liquidity that is sensitive to future trading prices of the Company’s common stock. If, on the applicable maturity date or an earlier valuation date triggered by applicable VWAP-based events, our stock price is below the amended reset price, the FPA investors are expected to exercise their contractual repurchase rights. In such circumstances, we could be required to make substantial cash payments or issue additional shares, which would reduce liquidity and, in the case of share settlement, result in further dilution to existing stockholders. Any required repurchase of shares pursuant to the Forward Purchase Agreements or early settlement obligations could materially reduce the cash available to fund operations, capital expenditures, and strategic initiatives. These obligations may also limit our ability to raise additional capital on favorable terms. We continue to evaluate the potential impacts of the Forward Purchase Agreements on future liquidity needs, and the Company’s ability to satisfy any required cash settlements will depend on market conditions, operating performance, access to financing, and the market price of our common stock during the applicable measurement periods. In connection with the Forward Purchase Agreements, we have recorded a liability on our consolidated balance sheets of $4.0 million and $3.5 million as of December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024, respectively. 53 SAFE Agreements SAFE obligations are a source of financing received which may be converted into shares of our common stock in an equity financing transaction, or upon a change in control arising from a liquidity event, the holder of a SAFE is entitled to a portion of the proceeds. We entered into three SAFE Agreements with the Rodgers Massey Freedom and Free Markets Charitable Trust, a related party affiliated with our CEO for an aggregate amount of $6.0 million in fiscal 2024. Two of the SAFEs with an original amount of $5.0 million were converted to shares of our common stock in fiscal 2024. As of December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024, we had SAFE obligations recorded on our consolidated balance sheets of $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively. Refer to Note 9 – SAFE Agreements, in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information. Leases We enter into various non-cancelable operating and finance leases. Current operating leases are primarily for our facilities with original lease periods expiring through the year 2030. We had total operating lease obligations recorded on our consolidated balance sheets of $5.2 million and $3.7 million as of December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024, respectively. We have entered into various non-cancelable finance leases for vehicles used in operations with original lease periods expiring through the year 2029. We had total finance lease obligations recorded on our consolidated balance sheets of $3.1 million and $3.9 million as of December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024, respectively. Refer to Note 12 – Commitments and Contingencies, in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information on our lease obligations. Standby Equity Purchase Agreement; Convertible Note, and Convertible Debenture On January 27, 2026 (the “Effective Date”), we entered into a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (the “SEPA”) with YA IIPN, LTD., a Cayman Islands exempt limited company (the “Investor”). Pursuant to the SEPA, the Investor will advance up to $20.0 million to us in the form of a promissory note (“Promissory Note”). Promissory Notes will accrue interest on the outstanding principal balance at an annual rate equal to 0%, which will increase to an annual rate of 18% upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Promissory Notes) for so long as such event remains uncured. The Promissory Notes will mature on January 27, 2027, which may be extended at the option of the Investor. Each tranche of a Promissory Note will be advanced less a discount in the amount equal to 10% of the principal amount of such tranche. The first tranche was disbursed on January 27, 2026 in the principal amount of $1.9 million. Subject to the conditions set forth in the SEPA, a second tranche in a principal amount of up to $18.1 million may be advanced on the second trading day after the initial registration statement relating to the resale of the shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the Promissory Notes first becomes effective. The Promissory Notes are convertible into shares of our common stock, $0.0001 par value per share at a conversion price equal to the lower of (i) a price per share equal to 125% of the VWAP of our common stock on the trading day prior to the issuance date of each Promissory Note, or (ii) 93% of the lowest daily VWAP during the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding the conversion date (but no lower than the “floor price” then in effect, subject to adjustment from time to time in accordance with the terms contained in the Promissory Notes). Pursuant to the SEPA, we will have the right, from time to time, until January 27, 2029 (unless the SEPA is terminated earlier), to require the Investor to purchase up to $25.0 million of shares of our common stock (“Commitment Amount”) subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the SEPA. We may not issue or sell any shares of our common stock to the Investor under the SEPA or under the Promissory Notes, which, when aggregated with all other shares of our common stock then beneficially owned by the Investor and its affiliates would result in the Investor and its affiliates beneficially owning more than 4.99% of the then-outstanding shares of our common stock. We paid the Investor a structuring and due diligence fee of $0.05 million and agreed to issue to the Investor 175,000 shares of our common stock within three days of the Effective Date as a commitment fee. The SEPA will automatically terminate on the earliest to occur of (i) January 27, 2029 or (ii) the date on which the Investor has purchased from us under the SEPA the Commitment Amount in full. We may terminate the SEPA at any time upon five trading days’ prior written notice to the Investor, provided that there are no outstanding advance notices under which we are yet to issue shares of our common stock, there are no amounts outstanding under the Promissory Notes, and provided that we have paid all amounts owed to the Investor pursuant to the SEPA. We and the Investor may also agree to terminate the SEPA by mutual written consent. 54 On March 6, 2026 we entered into a further Purchase Agreement pursuant to which the Investor purchased and we issued a convertible debenture in the principal amount of $10.0 million (the “ Debenture ”). At the closing under such purchase agreement, we issued the Debenture to the Investor in the original principal amount of $10.0 million for a purchase price of $9.0 million, less certain fees payable under the purchase agreement. The Debenture accrues interest on the outstanding principal balance at an annual rate equal to 0%, which will increase to an annual rate of 18% upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Debenture for so long as such event remains uncured. The Debenture will mature on March 6, 2027, which may be extended at the option of the Investor. On each of May 6, 2026, June 6, 2026, July 6, 2026, August 6, 2026 and September 6, 2026 (each an “ Installment Date ”), the Company is required to pay an installment amount under the Debenture equal to (i) $2.0 million, plus (ii) a $0.06 million payment premium, and plus (iii) any accrued and unpaid interest (collectively, the “ Installment Amount ”). We may repay each applicable Installment Amount, at our option, (a) in cash on or before the applicable Installment Date or (b) by submitting an advance notice under the SEPA, or a combination of a payment in cash and delivery of such advance notice. At any time after the Effective Date, the Investor may convert any portion of the outstanding balance under the Debenture into shares of our common stock at a fixed price of $2.50 per share (the “ Fixed Price ”). Additionally, at any time on or after any Installment Date, the Investor may convert any portion of any due and unpaid Installment Amount outstanding under the Debenture into shares of our common stock at a price equal to 95% of the volume weighted average price (“ VWAP ”) of our common stock during the five trading days prior to the conversion date (but the conversion price will not be lower than the “Floor Price” then in effect). The Company, at our option, shall have the right to redeem early all or a portion of the amounts outstanding under the Debenture upon written notice to the Investor (an “ Optional Redemption ”), provided, that we may only deliver a notice of Optional Redemption if the VWAP of our common stock at the time the notice is delivered is less than the Fixed Price. In connection with an Optional Redemption, the redemption price payable by us will be equal to (i) the outstanding principal amount of the Debenture being redeemed, plus (ii) a payment premium equal to 3% of the principal amount being repaid, and plus (iii) accrued and unpaid interest under the Debenture; however, the prepayment premium shall not apply to any Optional Redemption of the Debenture if the redemption price is paid on or before April 30, 2026. Sunder Seller Note – related party On September 24, 2025, we issued a promissory note to the selling member of Sunder (as amended, the “Seller Note”) in connection with the acquisition of 100% of the membership interests in Sunder. The Seller Note has an original principal amount of $20.0 million. The Seller Note bears interest at 7.0% per annum, compounded at the end of each calendar quarter. Interest is due and payable concurrent with the payment of the principal balance. The maturity date of the Seller Note is the earlier of (i) May 15, 2026 and (ii) the date on which all amounts under the Seller Note otherwise become due and payable following an event of default. The Seller Note must also be repaid in the event of a change of control of the Company or the sale of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Company and our subsidiaries. We concluded that since the sellers joined the Company and have a level of influence that is not insignificant, they are related parties of the Company and therefore the Seller Note is a related party obligation. On March 5, 2026, we entered into an amendment of the Seller Note (“Amendment”) that if the SEPA Debenture restricts repayment of the Seller Note on May 15, 2026, then the maturity date of the Seller Note will be extended to the earlier of (a) the date that is two business days following the date on which the Seller Note may be repaid pursuant to the restrictions set forth in the Debenture and (b) September 30, 2026 (or, if the registration statement required to be filed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement has not been declared effective prior to April 30, 2026, then the outside maturity date will extend to December 31, 2026). Additionally, the interest rate applicable to the Seller Note will increase to 10.0% per annum if the principal amount of the Seller Note remains outstanding after May 15, 2026. As an inducement to agree to the foregoing, the Amendment also provides that, within two business days following approval by our stockholders of the issuance of shares under the purchase agreement in accordance with applicable Nasdaq rules, we will issue the remaining shares of common stock otherwise issuable to the seller pursuant to the purchase agreement. On April 8, 2026, we issued the remaining shares due under the Seller Note, 6.7 million shares of our common stock. Proceeds from Warrant Exercises We will receive the proceeds from any cash exercise of any warrants. The aggregate amount of proceeds could be up to $257.2 million if all the warrants are exercised for cash. However, to the extent the warrants are exercised on a “cashless basis,” the amount of cash we would receive from the exercise of the warrants will decrease. The Private Warrants and Working Capital Warrants may be exercised for cash or on a “cashless basis.” The Public Warrants and the Mergers Warrants may only be exercised for cash provided there is then an effective registration statement registering the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of such warrants. If there is not a then-effective registration statement, then such warrants may be exercised on a “cashless basis,” pursuant to an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act. We expect to use any such proceeds for general corporate and working capital purposes, which would increase our liquidity. As of April 13, 2026, the price of our common stock was $1.20 per share. The weighted average exercise price of the warrants was $10.52 as of December 28, 2025. We believe the likelihood that warrant holders will exercise their warrants, and therefore the amount of cash proceeds that we would receive, is dependent upon the market price of our common stock. If the market price for our common stock remains less than the exercise price, we believe warrant holders will be unlikely to exercise. In which case we will not receive any proceeds from the cash exercise of the warrants. 55 Cash Flows We expect that our principal short-term (over the next 12 months) cash needs related to our operations will be to fund working capital, acquisitions, payments on our outstanding debt, and legal settlements. We plan to fund any cash requirements for the next 12 months from our existing cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operations and debt and equity financings. For the long-term period (beyond 12 months), we aim to generate cash flows from operations to support our ongoing business operations and strategic investment plans. We regularly evaluate our liquidity position, debt obligations and expected cash requirements. As part of this ongoing assessment, we may pursue additional financing through the issuance of equity or the debt financing, as necessary, to meet our operational and investment needs. Our ability to obtain debt or any other additional financing that we may choose to, or need to, obtain will depend on, among other things, our development efforts, business plans, operating performance and the condition of the capital markets at the time we seek financing. As a result of not timely filing our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2024, we are not currently eligible to use a registration statement on Form S-3 that would allow us to continuously incorporate by reference our SEC reports into the registration statement, to use “shelf” registration statements to conduct offerings, or to use our at-the-market offering facility until approximately one year from the date we have regained and maintained status as a current filer. Our inability to use Form S-3 significantly impairs our ability to raise the necessary capital to fund our operations and execute our strategy. If we seek to access to the capital markets through a registered offering during the period of time that we are unable to use Form S-3, we may be required to publicly disclose the proposed offering and the material terms thereof before the offering commences, we may experience delays in the offering process due to SEC review of a Form S-1 registration statement and we may incur increased offering and transaction costs and other considerations. If we are unable to raise capital through a registered offering, we would be required to conduct our equity financing transactions on a private placement basis, which may be subject to pricing, size and other limitations imposed under the Nasdaq rules, or seek other sources of capital. The foregoing limitations on our financing approaches could prevent us from pursuing transactions or implementing business strategies that would be beneficial to our business. Cash Flows for the Fiscal Years Ended December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024 The following table summarizes our cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities for the fiscal years ended (in thousands) : Fiscal Year Ended December 28, December 29, 2025 2024 Net cash used in operating activities from continuing operations $ (15,327 ) $ (54,662 ) Net cash used in investing activities from continuing operations (19,339 ) (54,657 ) Net cash provided by financing activities from continuing operations 30,905 120,100 Net (decrease) increase in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash (3,761 ) 10,803 Cash Flows from Operating Activities Net cash used in operating activities from continuing operations of $15.3 million for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2025 was primarily due to the net loss from continuing operations, net of tax of $44.3 million and net cash outflows of $3.1 million from changes in our operating assets and liabilities which was partially offset by non-cash adjustments of $32.1 million.

The main drivers of net cash outflows derived from the changes in operating assets and liabilities were related to an increase in contract assets of $21.5 million, a $10.4 million decrease in accounts payable, a $0.8 million decrease in operating lease liabilities, and a $0.2 million increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets, partially offset by an $8.7 million decrease in inventories, a $3.3 million decrease in accounts receivable, a $14.1 million increase in accrued expenses and $0.2 million of other. 56 Cash Flows from Investing Activities Net cash used in investing activities from continuing operations of $19.3 million in 2025 is principally attributable to the cash paid for the acquisition of Sunder. Net cash used by investing activities from continuing operations of $54.7 million for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2024 was primarily due to the acquisition of SunPower of $53.5 million (net of $1.0 million of cash) and $1.2 million in capital expenditures. Cash Flows from Financing Activities Net cash provided by financing activities from continuing operations in 2025 was $30.9 million and consisted of $19.8 million received in exchange for 7.0% senior unsecured convertible notes, $7.0 million received from related party trusts of T.J. Rodgers, our Chairman and CEO, in exchange for 12% senior unsecured convertible notes, an investor deposit of $2.0 million received from a related party trust of T.J. Rodgers, $6.7 million in proceeds from the issuance of shares of our common stock, and $0.6 million in proceeds from the exercise of stock options and a warrant in exchange for shares of our common stock, partially offset by $2.3 million of finance lease payments, $2.2 million in payments on our debt obligations and $0.7 million for taxes paid related to net share settlement of equity awards. Net cash provided by financing activities from continuing operations in 2024 was of $120.1 million and consisted of $107.7 million in proceeds from the issuance of convertible notes, $6.0 million in proceeds from the issuance of SAFE agreement, $6.7 million in proceeds from the issuance of common stock and $0.5 million in proceeds from the exercise of common stock options. The proceeds were partially offset by finance lease payments and the payment of a note aggregating $0.8 million. Emerging Growth Company Status Section 102(b)(1) of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act, exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can choose not to take advantage of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies, and any such election to not take advantage of the extended transition period is irrevocable. SunPower is an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act and has elected to take advantage of the benefits of the extended transition period for new or revised financial accounting standards. Following the closing of the Mergers, our post-combination company remains an emerging growth company until the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year in which the market value of common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the end of that year’s second fiscal quarter, (ii) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenue of $1.235 billion or more during such fiscal year (as indexed for inflation), (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt in the prior three-year period, or (iv) the last day of the fiscal year ending after the fifth anniversary of our IPO. We expect to continue to take advantage of the benefits of the extended transition period, although we may decide to early adopt such new or revised accounting standards to the extent permitted by such standards. This may make it difficult or impossible to compare our financial results with the financial results of another public company that is either not an emerging growth company or is an emerging growth company that has chosen not to take advantage of the extended transition period exemptions because of the potential differences in accounting standards used. ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK We are exposed to certain market risks in the ordinary course of our business. The Company monitors and manages these financial exposures as an integral part of its overall risk management program. Interest Rate Risk We do not have significant exposure to interest rate risk that could affect the balance sheet, statement of operations, and the statement of cash flows, as we do not have any outstanding variable rate debt as of December 28, 2025. Concentrations of Credit Risk and Major Customers Our customer base consists primarily of residential homeowners. We do not require collateral on our accounts receivable. Further, our accounts receivable are with individual homeowners, financiers and leasing partners, and we are exposed to normal industry credit risks. We continually evaluate our reserves for potential credit losses and establish reserves for such losses. The information with respect to concentrations of credit risk and major customers is set forth under Note 2 – Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies , in the accompanying consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K, and is incorporated herein by reference. 57 ITEM 8.

Orem, Utah Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of SunPower Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the fiscal years then ended, and the related notes collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements.” In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the fiscal years then ended , in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Going Concern Uncertainty The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses, and has negative cash flows that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Basis for Opinion These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. /s/ BDO USA, P.C. We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2024. Atlanta, Georgia April 14, 2026 F- 2 SUNPOWER INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (1) Organization Description of Business SunPower Inc. (“SunPower” or the “Company”) is the rebranded name of Complete Solaria, Inc. (“Complete Solaria”). The rebranding was effective April 22, 2025 and the Company’s legal name change became effective on October 16, 2025. The Company was originally incorporated in Delaware under the name Complete Solaria, Inc. and is a residential solar installer that offers storage and home energy solutions to customers in North America. The Company was formed through Complete Solar Holding Corporation’s acquisition of The Solaria Corporation (“Solaria”). The Company is headquartered in Orem, Utah. Complete Solar, Inc. (“Complete Solar”) was incorporated in Delaware on February 22, 2010 . Through February 2022, the Company operated as Complete Solar, Inc., a single legal entity. In February 2022, Complete Solar implemented a holding company reorganization (the “Reorganization”) in which the Company created and incorporated Complete Solar Holding Corporation (“Complete Solar Holdings”). As a result of the Reorganization, Complete Solar Holdings became the successor entity to Complete Solar, Inc. Complete Solaria, Inc. (“Complete Solaria”) was formed in November 2022 through the merger of Complete Solar Holding Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Complete Solar”), and The Solaria Corporation, a Delaware corporation (such entity, “Solaria,” and such transaction, the “Business Combination”). On July 18, 2023, the Company consummated a series of merger transactions contemplated by an Amended and Restated Business Combination Agreement entered into with wholly-owned subsidiaries of Freedom Acquisition I Corp. (“FACT”) (“Mergers”), equating to a reverse recapitalization for accounting purposes. Under the reverse recapitalization of accounting, FACT was treated as the acquired company for financial statement reporting purposes. This determination was based on the Company having a majority of the voting power of the post-combination company, the Company’s senior management comprising substantially all of the senior management of the post-combination company, and the Company’s operations comprising the ongoing operations of the post-combination company. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Mergers were treated as the equivalent of a capital transaction in which Complete Solaria issued stock for the net assets of FACT. The net assets of FACT were stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. The Company’s operates on a 52-to-53-week fiscal year that ends on the Sunday closest to December 31. The Company’s fiscal years ended on December 28, 2025 (“2025”) and December 29, 2024 (“2024”). Acquisitions and Divestitures In October 2023, the Company completed the sale of its solar panel business (“Divestiture”). The Company determined that the Divestiture represented a strategic shift in the Company’s business and qualified as a discontinued operation for accounting purposes. The Company recognized losses from discontinued operations in its consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss and consolidated statements of cash flows related to the Divestiture of $ 1.1 million and $ 2.0 million in the fiscal years ended December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024, respectively. The additional losses recognized in 2025 and 2024 related to legal expenses incurred in connection with litigation related to its former solar panel business. In the fiscal year ended December 29, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of certain assets relating to the Blue Raven Solar business, New Homes business and Non-Installing Dealer network (collectively the “SunPower Businesses”) from SunPower Debtors, the successor entity in bankruptcy to SunPower Corporation and its direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively “SunPower Corporation”). In the fiscal year ended December 28, 2025, the Company completed the acquisitions of Sunder Energy, LLC and Ambia Energy LLC. Each of these acquisitions was accounted for as business combinations in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combination. Refer to Note 3 – Business Combinations for details of these transactions. F- 7 Liquidity and Going Concern Since inception through the fiscal year ended December 28, 2025, the Company has incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations. The Company’s net loss from continuing operations was $ 44.3 million in the fiscal year ended December 28, 2025. As of December 28, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $ 456.7 million, short-term debt of $ 24.3 million, and cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash, of $ 9.6 million. The Company anticipates that operating losses and negative operating cash flows may continue in the near term. Management is actively pursuing plans to mitigate these conditions, including obtaining additional capital resources through equity or debt financing and leveraging support from significant shareholders when necessary. The Company has financed its operations primarily through sales of equity securities, private placements, debt, issuance of convertible notes and other debt instruments, other financing instruments, cash from operations, and proceeds from the Mergers. The Company did not file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2024 within the timeframe required by the SEC, its Quarterly Report on Form 10Q for the quarter ended September 28, 2025 or the amendment required to the Current Report originally filed on September 26, 2025 relating to the Sunder acquisition. As a result, the Company is not currently eligible to use a registration statement on Form S-3 that would allow it to continuously incorporate by reference its SEC reports into the registration statement, to use “shelf” registration statements to conduct offerings, or to use the at-the-market offering facility until approximately one year from the date that the Company has regained and maintained status as a current filer. Aside from a “shelf” registration, the Company has alternative financing options and may seek additional liquidity through the use of a Form S-1 registration statement and or private placements. If the Company is not able to secure adequate additional funding when needed, the Company will need to reevaluate its operating plan and may be forced to make reductions in spending, extend payment terms with suppliers, liquidate assets where possible, or suspend or curtail planned programs or cease operations entirely. These actions could materially impact the Company’s business, results of operations and future prospects. While the Company has been able to raise multiple rounds of financing, there can be no assurance that in the event the Company requires additional financing, such financing will be available on terms that are favorable, or at all. Failure to generate sufficient cash flows from operations, raise additional capital or reduce certain discretionary spending would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to achieve its intended business objectives. Therefore, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue to operate as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. They do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from uncertainty related to its ability to continue as a going concern. F- 8 (2) Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, as well as related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Significant estimates and assumptions made by management include, but are not limited to, the determination of (i) the allowance for credit losses; (ii) inventory obsolescence; (iii) stock-based compensation; (iv) workmanship warranty; (v) intangible assets acquired in business combinations; (vi) forward purchase agreements; (vii) Simple Agreement for Future Equity (“SAFE”) Agreements, (viii) derivative liabilities; and (ix) warrant liabilities. The Company’s financial condition or operating results may be affected to the extent that there are material differences between estimates and actual results. The Company bases its estimates on past experience and other assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances, and the Company evaluates these estimates on an ongoing basis. The Company has assessed the impact and management is not aware of any specific events or circumstances that required an update to the Company’s estimates and assumptions or materially affected the carrying value of the Company’s assets or liabilities as of the date of issuance of this report. These estimates may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained. Reclassification of prior year balances The Company reclassified long-term operating lease liabilities of $ 2.3 million from Operating lease liabilities, net of current portion to Other long-term liabilities to conform to the current year’s presentation. Segment Reporting The Company’s segment information is presented on a basis that is consistent with the Company’s internal management reporting. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) is the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). The CODM manages the Company and reports financial results based on three reportable segments which are the same as the Company’s operating segments. The CODM evaluates the performance of these reportable segments and allocates resources to make operating decisions based on certain financial information, including segment operating results prepared on a basis consistent with U.S. GAAP. The measurement criteria is based on each respective segment’s operating revenue and operating (loss) income and excludes any corporate costs which are not allocatable to the operating segments. The CODM’s measurement criteria does not include segment assets. For the periods presented, the Company reported its financial performance within three reportable segments; Residential Solar Installation, New Homes Business and Dealer. Residential Solar Installation – This segment performs solar system, storage and battery installations for residential homeowners. New Homes Business – This segment performs solar system installations for new home builders. This segment was new in fiscal year 2024 as a result of the acquisition of the SunPower Businesses in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024. Dealer – This segment provides a third-party solar energy sales force to initiate and execute contracts with customers throughout the United States. This segment’s sales force works with solar installation companies and acts as the agent for each transaction entered. This segment is new in fiscal year 2025 as a result of the acquisition of Sunder. F- 9 Concentration of Risks The Company is exposed to credit losses in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to its financial and derivative instruments. Financial and derivative instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are primarily cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and contract assets. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are on deposit with major financial institutions. Such deposits may be in excess of insured limits. The Company believes that the financial institutions that hold the Company’s cash are financially sound, and accordingly, minimum credit risk exists with respect to these balances. The Company has not experienced any losses due to institutional failure or bankruptcy. The Company performs credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral for sales on credit. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash held in checking and savings accounts consisting of highly liquid securities with maturity dates of three months or less from the original date of purchase. The Company maintains the majority of its cash balances with commercial banks in interest bearing accounts. The Company considers all highly liquid securities that mature within three months or less from the original date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Restricted Cash The Company classifies all cash for which usage is limited by contractual provisions as restricted cash. Restricted cash consists of deposits in money market accounts, which is used as cash collateral backing letters of credit related to customs duty authorities’ requirements. The Company presents restricted cash as a noncurrent asset in its consolidated balance sheets. The Company reconciles cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported on its consolidated balance sheets that aggregate to the beginning and ending balances shown on the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows as follows (in thousands) : As of December 28, December 29, 2025 2024 Cash and cash equivalents $ 9,617 $ 13,378 Restricted cash 3,841 3,841 Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash $ 13,458 $ 17,219 Concentration of Customers – homeowners and financiers As of December 28, 2025, one customer had an outstanding balance that represented 11 % of the Company’s outstanding trade receivable balance. As of December 28, 2024, no customer had an outstanding balance that represented more than 10% of the Company’s total trade accounts receivable balance. The Company defines major customers as those customers which generate revenues that exceed 10 % of the Company’s annual net revenues by reportable segment. In fiscal 2025 Customer A accounted for 19 % of revenues across the Residential Solar Installation and New Homes reportable segments. In fiscal year 2024, Customer A and Customer B accounted for 12 % and 14 %, respectively, of gross revenues. Customer A generates revenue across the Residential Solar Installation and New Homes reportable segments. Customer B generated revenue within the New Homes reportable segment. Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized for the Residential Solar Installation and New Homes Business reportable segments when a customer obtains control of promised products and services and the Company has satisfied its performance obligations which is the date by which substantially all of its design and installation is complete for a fully functioning solar power system to interconnect to the local power grid. F- 10 Installation includes the design of a solar energy system, the delivery of the components of the solar energy system (i.e., photovoltaic system, inverter, battery storage, etc.), installation services and services facilitating the connection of the solar energy system to the power grid. The Company accounts for these services as inputs to a combined output, resulting in a single service-based performance obligation. Upon entering into a sales contract within the Dealer reportable segment, the requisite performance obligation of the Company is to assist the customer in the progress of the installation and obtain Permission to Operate (“PTO”). PTO typically occurs within 3 to 6 months after the initial sale, but can happen as early as two months or as late as twelve months after the sale. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for the products and services. To achieve this core principle, the Company applies the following five steps: Step 1. Identification of the contract(s) with a customer; Step 2. Identification of the performance obligations in the contracts(s); Step 3. Determination of the transaction price; Step 4. Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; Step 5. Recognition of the revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation. Revenue is generally recognized at the transaction price contained within the agreement, net of the costs of financing, or other consideration paid to the customers that is not in exchange for a distinct good or service. The Company’s arrangements may contain clauses that can either increase or decrease the transaction price. Variable consideration is estimated at each measurement date at its most likely amount to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur and true-ups are applied prospectively as such estimates change. The Company may provide incentives to its customers, such as discounts and rebates which are recorded net against the revenue that the Company has recognized related to the solar energy system sale. The Company records deferred revenue for amounts invoiced that are received in advance of the provisioning of services. In certain contracts with customers, the Company arranges for a third-party financing partner to provide financing to the customer. The Company collects upfront from the financing partner and the customer will provide instalment payments to the financing partner. The Company records revenue in the amount received from the financing partner, net of any financing fees charged to the homeowner, which the Company considers to be a customer incentive. None of the Company’s contracts contain a significant financing component. Residential Solar Installation revenues The Company’s Residential Solar Installation segment sells products through a network of installing and non-installing dealers and resellers, as well as its internal sales team. The Company’s contracts with customers include three primary contract types: ● Cash agreements – The Company contracts directly with homeowners who purchase the solar energy system and related services from the Company. Customers are invoiced on a billing schedule, where the majority of the transaction price is due upon installation with an additional payment due when the system passes inspection by the authority having jurisdiction. ● Financing partner agreements – In its financing partner agreements, the Company contracts directly with homeowners for the purchase of the solar energy system and related services. The Company refers the homeowner to a financing partner to finance the system, and the homeowner makes payments directly to the financing partner. The Company receives consideration from the financing partner on a billing schedule where the majority of the transaction price is due upon installation with an additional payment due when the system passes inspection by the authority having jurisdiction. ● Power purchase agreements and lease agreements – The Company contracts directly with a leasing partner to perform the solar energy system installation, and the homeowner will finance the system through a power purchase agreement (or lease), which is signed with the Company’s leasing partner. The Company considers the leasing partner to be its customer, as the Company does not contract directly with the homeowner and the leasing partner takes ownership of the system upon the completion of installation. The Company receives consideration from the leasing partner on a billing schedule where the majority of the transaction price is due upon installation with an additional payment due when the system passes inspection by the authority having jurisdiction. F- 11 New Homes Business revenues The Company’s New Homes Business segment sells through a network of home builders as well as its internal sales team. The Company’s contracts with customers include two primary contract types: ● Cash agreements – The Company contracts directly with homebuilders who purchase the solar energy system from the Company and are the customers in the transaction. The Company’s customers are invoiced upon the completion of installation. ● Lease agreements – Prior to SunPower Debtor’s declaration of bankruptcy, certain homeowners had intended to lease a system from SunPower Debtors but were unable to consummate the transaction (as a result of SunPower Debtor’s declaration of bankruptcy). The in-process system inventory (installed on recently constructed homes) was acquired by the Company in connection with the SunPower Acquisition. The Company contracted directly with a leasing partner to facilitate the leasing of the system to the impacted homeowners. The Company considers the leasing partner to be its customer. Under the terms of the Company’s arrangement with the leasing partner, control is not transferred to the customer until the completed system is accepted by the customer. The Company receives consideration from the leasing partner following the acceptance of the system. The Company’s performance obligation for both of these reportable segments is to design and install a fully functioning solar energy system. For all contract types (with the exception of New Homes Business Lease agreements), the Company recognizes revenue over time. The Company’s over-time revenue recognition begins when the solar power system is fully installed (as it is at this point that control of the asset begins to be transferred to the customer, and the customer retains the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the solar power system). The Company recognizes revenue using the input method based on direct costs to install the system and defers the costs of installation until such time that control of the asset transfers to the customer (installation). For New Homes Business Lease agreements, the Company considers the performance obligation to be satisfied at a point in time upon acceptance of the system by the customer. Dealer revenues The Company earns revenue from contracts sold to customers for solar installations performed by third-party installation companies. The Company recognizes revenue at a point in time when PTO is complete. The Company acts as an agent in these arrangements and records revenue on a net basis. The Company does not have any significant financing components in these contracts. The Company does not provide warranty services related to these sales contracts, and therefore, the Company does not record a warranty reserve with respect to these sales contracts. Costs to Obtain Contracts The incremental costs of obtaining customer contracts consist of sales commissions which are paid to third-parties who source residential customer contracts for the sale of solar energy systems by the Company. The Company defers sales commissions and recognizes the expense in accordance with the timing of the related revenue recognition. Amortization of deferred commissions is recorded as sales commissions in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. As of December 28, 2025 deferred commissions was $ 5.6 million. Deferred commissions were not material as of December 29, 2024. F- 12 Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities The timing of revenue recognition, billings, and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable, unbilled revenue (contract assets), and deferred revenue (contract liabilities) on the balance sheet. Contract assets consist of unbilled receivables which represent revenue that has been recognized in advance of the Company’s right to bill the customer. Contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue and customer advances, which represent consideration received from a customer prior to transferring control of goods or services to the customer under the terms of a sales contract The Company typically invoices its customers upon completion of set milestones, generally upon installation of the solar energy system with the remaining balance invoiced upon passing final building inspection. Standard payment terms to customers range from 30 to 60 days. When the Company receives payment, or when such payment is unconditionally due from a customer prior to delivering goods or services to the customer under the terms of a customer agreement, the Company records this deferred revenue as a contract liability. Most installation projects are completed within 12 -months. As such, a significant portion of the Company’s contract liabilities is reflected within current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Contract liabilities for installation projects expected to be completed beyond 12 months are classified as noncurrent obligations in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Remaining Performance Obligations The Company elected the practical expedient not to disclose the remaining performance obligations for contracts that are less than one year in length. The Company’s performance obligations associated with long-term service contracts are not material. Allowance for Estimated Credit losses The Company recognizes an allowance for credit losses at the time a receivable is recorded based on the Company’s estimate of expected credit losses, historical write-off experience, and current account knowledge. In developing its estimate of expected credit losses, the Company has elected to apply the practical expedient permitted under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 326 – Financial Instruments – Credit Losses , under which it assumes that current conditions at the balance-sheet date remain unchanged for the remaining life of the financial assets. The Company evaluates the aggregation and risk characteristics of a receivable pool and develops loss rates that reflect historical collections over the time horizon that the Company is exposed to credit risk, and payment terms or conditions that may materially affect future forecasts. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition when deemed necessary. The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses based on the expected collectability of all accounts receivable, which takes into consideration an analysis of historical bad debts, specific customer creditworthiness and current economic trends. The Company believes that its concentration of credit risk is limited because of the large number of customers, credit quality of the customer base, small account balances for most of these customers, and customer geographic diversification. The Company does not have any off-balance sheet credit exposure relating to its customers. F- 13 The following table summarizes the allowance for credit losses as follows (in thousands) : As of and for the Year Ended December 28, December 29, 2025 2024 Balance at beginning of period $ ( 1,701 ) $ ( 9,846 ) Provision charged to earnings ( 3,554 ) ( 9,132 ) Amounts written off, net of recoveries and other adjustments 49 17,277 Balance at end of period $ ( 5,206 ) $ ( 1,701 ) In fiscal year 2024, the Company identified customer accounts receivable balances that were deemed to be uncollectible, which were reserved and written off. Inventories Inventories consist of solar panels and the components of solar energy systems all of which are classified as finished goods within inventories as of December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024. Inventories are valued using the average cost method. The Company identifies inventory which is considered obsolete or in excess of anticipated demand based on a consideration of marketability and product life cycle stage, component cost trends, demand forecasts, historical revenues, and assumptions about future demand and market conditions, and such inventory has been adjusted to its lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost of Revenues The Company’s costs to fulfill contracts associated with systems sales are expensed as cost of revenues. Cost of revenues is comprised primarily of materials, internal labor, third-party subcontractors, design services, engineering personnel and employee-related expenses associated with permitting services, associated warranty costs, freight and delivery costs, depreciation, and amortization of internally developed software. Cost of revenues from these services is recognized when the Company transfers control of the product to the customer, which is generally upon installation. Warranties The Company typically provides a 10-year warranty on its solar energy system installations, which provides assurance over the workmanship in performing the installation, including roof leaks caused by the Company’s performance. For solar panel sales recognized prior to the Divestiture, the Company provides a 30-year warranty that the products will be free from defects in material and workmanship. The Company retained its warranty obligations associated with panel sales prior to the Divestiture. When revenue is recognized for a solar energy system installation service, the Company accrues a liability for the estimated future cost of meeting its warranty obligations. The Company makes and revises its estimated warranty liability based primarily on the volume of new sales that contain warranties, historical experience with and projections of warranty claims, and estimated solar energy system and panel replacement costs. The Company records a provision for estimated warranty expenses in cost of revenues within the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Warranty costs primarily consist of replacement materials, equipment and labor costs for service personnel. F- 14 Property and Equipment, Net Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in that period. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation and amortization are calculated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives of the assets: Useful Lives Equipment 1 – 3 years Internal-use software 3 – 5 years Furniture & equipment 3 – 5 years Vehicles 3 to 5 years Leasehold improvements Shorter of 3 to 5 years of the asset or the term of the lease. Internal-Use Software The Company capitalizes costs to develop its internal-use software when preliminary development efforts are successfully completed, management has authorized and committed project funding, it is probable that the project will be completed, and the software will be utilized as intended. These costs include personnel and related employee benefits and expenses for employees who are directly associated with and who devote time to software projects, and external direct costs of materials and services consumed in developing or obtaining software. Costs incurred prior to meeting these criteria, together with costs incurred for training and maintenance, are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred for enhancements that are expected to provide additional material functionality are capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life of the related upgrade. Intangible Assets, Net Intangible assets are recorded at cost, less accumulated amortization. Amortization is recorded using the straight-line method. All intangible assets that have been determined to have definite lives are amortized over their estimated useful life as indicated below: Useful Lives Customer related intangibles 1 – 10 years Trademarks 1 – 10 years Developed technology 2 – 3 years Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, Right-of-Use (“ROU”) assets, and intangible assets subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If circumstances require a long-lived asset or asset group to be tested for possible impairment, the Company first compares undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset or asset group to its carrying value. If the carrying value of the long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, and quoted market values, as considered necessary. The Company recognized an impairment loss of zero and $ 3.8 million in the fiscal years ended December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024, respectively, as disclosed in Note 6 – Supplemental Balance Sheet Information . Goodwill The Company tests goodwill at the reporting unit level for impairment annually on the first day of the fourth quarter, or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount. F- 15 The Company may elect to perform a qualitative assessment that considers economic, industry and company-specific factors. If, after completing the assessment, it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the Company proceeds to a quantitative test. Quantitative testing requires a comparison of the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill impairment is measured as the amount by which the reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying value of goodwill. The Company did not recognize any goodwill impairment in the fiscal years ended December 28, 2025 or December 29, 2024. Fair Value Measurements The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. The Company determines fair value based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability in the principal or most advantageous market. When considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which are categorized in one of the following levels: ● Level 1 inputs: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date. ● Level 2 inputs: Other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. ● Level 3 inputs: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. Financial assets and liabilities held by the Company measured at fair value every reporting period include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, warrant liabilities, forward purchase agreements (“FPAs”), SAFEs, deferred purchase price consideration, and derivative liabilities associated with the Company’s borrowings. The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, public warrants, and deferred purchase price consideration approximate their respective fair values because of their short-term nature or they have observable inputs (classified as Level 1). The derivative liabilities associated with the Company’s borrowings, FPAs, SAFEs, and private and working capital warrant liabilities are initially measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs. At each subsequent reporting date, the Company remeasures the fair value of these instruments in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement , and records the respective adjustment to the fair value within Other non-operating income, net the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Borrowings with Embedded Derivative Liabilities The Company accounts for its borrowings with embedded derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging , to determine whether such features must be bifurcated and accounted for separately as derivative liabilities. Upon issuance of a debt instrument with an embedded conversion option feature, the Company assesses whether the embedded feature qualifies as a derivative that requires bifurcation from the host contract. An embedded feature is bifurcated and accounted for as a separate derivative instrument if (i) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded feature are not clearly and closely related to those of the host debt instrument; (ii) the embedded feature, if freestanding, would meet the definition of a derivative; and (iii) the hybrid instrument is not remeasured at fair value through earnings. F- 16 If an embedded feature requires bifurcation, the Company allocates a portion of the initial proceeds to the fair value of the derivative liability, with the residual assigned to the carrying amount of the host debt instrument. The derivative liability is subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. The host debt instrument is recorded at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Any discounts or premiums resulting from the initial allocation between the host debt and the embedded derivative are amortized as interest expense over the expected term of the debt. Derivative liabilities are measured at fair value in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement . The fair value of a derivative liability is measured using a Monte Carlo simulation that incorporates a binomial lattice model. Refer to Note 5 – Fair Value Measurements and Note 10 – Borrowings and Derivative Liabilities for details. Forward Purchase Agreements The Company accounts for its FPAs in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity , as the agreements embody an obligation to transfer assets to settle a forward contract. The FPAs are measured at fair value at inception and at each reporting date in accordance with the guidance in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement . Refer to Note 5 – Fair Value Measurements and Note 8 – Forward Purchase Agreements for details. Warrant Liabilities The Company accounts for its warrant liabilities in accordance with the guidance in ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity , under which the warrants that do not meet the criteria for equity classification must be recorded as liabilities. The warrant liabilities are measured at fair value at inception and at each reporting date in accordance with the guidance in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement . Refer to Note 5 – Fair Value Measurements and Note 14 – Common Stock and Common Stock Warrants for details. SAFE Agreements The Company accounts for its SAFEs in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity . SAFEs are measured at fair value at inception and at each reporting date in accordance with the guidance in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement . Refer to Note 5 – Fair Value Measurements and Note 9 – SAFE Agreements for details. Advertising and Promotion Expenses Advertising and promotion costs are expensed as incurred and included in sales and marketing expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Advertising costs were not material for the fiscal years ended December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024. Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is established when it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets with not be realized. The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not to be sustained. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in its income tax provision. F- 17 On July 4, 2025, Public Law No. 119-21, commonly known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBBA”), was enacted in the United States, resulting in broad-based changes to federal tax law. The Company included the impact of OBBBA in its income tax provision for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2025. The OBBBA did not have a material impact on income tax expense for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2025. Stock-Based Compensation The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense over the requisite service period on a straight- line basis for all stock-based payments that are expected to vest to employees, non-employees and Directors, including grants of employee stock options and other stock-based awards. Equity-classified awards issued to employees, non-employees such as consultants and non-employee Directors are measured at the grant-date fair value of the award. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur. Comprehensive Loss Comprehensive loss consists of two components, net loss and other comprehensive income (loss), net. Net Loss Per Share The Company computes net loss per share following ASC 260, Earnings Per Share . Basic net loss per share is measured as the loss attributable to common stockholders divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding during periods with undistributed losses. Diluted net loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common share equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock method and if-converted method, as applicable. Securities that potentially have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation. Leases The Company accounts for its leases following ASC 842, Leases . The Company determines if a contract is a lease or contains a lease at the inception of the contract and reassesses that conclusion if the contract is modified. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The Company’s lease agreements generally contain lease and non-lease components. Payments under lease arrangements are primarily fixed. The Company has elected the practical expedient to combine lease and non-lease components and accounts for them together as a single lease component. All leases are assessed for classification as an operating lease or a finance lease. Finance lease ROU assets are classified within Property and Equipment, net, on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Operating lease ROU assets are classified separately on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Operating lease liabilities and finance lease obligations are separated into their respective current portion and non-current portions and are presented separately on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Finance lease ROU assets and liabilities and operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet on the date in which the lessor makes the underlying asset available for use. Finance lease ROU assets are those that meet one or more of the criteria outlined in ASC 842-10-25-2, such as transfer of ownership, purchase option, lease term for a major part of the asset’s economic life, or present value of lease payments substantially equal to the fair value of the asset. Finance lease ROU assets are initially measured at cost, which includes the initial lease liability, plus any lease payments made at or before commencement, less any lease incentives received. Finance lease ROU assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or the useful life of the underlying asset. Interest expense on the finance lease liability is recognized using the effective interest method. F- 18 Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized based upon the present value of the lease payments over the respective lease term. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, subject to any changes in the lease or expectation regarding the terms. Variable lease costs such as common area maintenance, property taxes and insurance are expensed as incurred. The Company generally uses its incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payments to present value. The estimated incremental borrowing rate is derived from information available at the lease commencement date. The Company’s lease terms include periods under options to extend or terminate the lease. Options to renew or extend leases beyond their initial term have been excluded from measurement of the ROU assets and lease liabilities when exercise of such options is not reasonably certain. The Company generally uses the base, non-cancellable, lease term when determining the lease assets and liabilities. The Company records a right-of-use asset which is calculated based on the amount of the lease liability, adjusted for any advance lease payments made, lease incentives received, and initial direct costs incurred. Right-of-use assets are subject to evaluation for impairment or disposal on a basis consistent with other long-lived assets. The Company has elected, for all classes of underlying assets, not to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for leases with an initial term of twelve months or less. The cost for short-term leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In July 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2025-05 “Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets” which provides an update to all entities with a practical expedient when estimating expected credit losses. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted in both interim and annual reporting periods in which financial statements have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company adopted ASU 2025-05 in the fiscal year ended December 28, 2025. The impact of the adoption was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “ Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” . The objective of ASU 2023-09 is to enhance disclosures related to income taxes, including specific thresholds for inclusion within the tabular disclosure of income tax rate reconciliation and specified information about income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for public companies starting in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted this ASU on a prospective basis in its annual report in the fiscal year ended December 28, 2025. The impact of the adoption was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-02 “Codification Improvements-Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements” , which removes various references to concepts statements from the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. This ASU is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, with early adoption permitted. The Company expects the new guidance will have an immaterial impact on its consolidated financial statements and intends to adopt the guidance when it becomes effective in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses”, which requires the disaggregation of certain expenses in the notes of the financial statements to provide enhanced transparency into the expense captions presented on the face of the income statement. The FASB subsequently issued ASU 2025-01 “Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date” , which amends the effective date of ASU 2024-03 to clarify that all public business entities are required to adopt the guidance in ASU 2024-03 in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption of ASU 2024-03 is permitted. The Company is assessing the impact of adopting this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

(3) Business Combinations SunPower Businesses Acquisition On August 5, 2024, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “APA”) with SunPower Corporation and SunPower Corporation’s direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively, the “SunPower Debtors”) providing for the sale and purchase of certain assets relating to the Blue Raven Solar business, New Homes Business and Non-Installing Dealer network previously operated by the SunPower Debtors. The APA was entered into in connection with a voluntary petition filed by SunPower Corporation under Chapter 11 of the United States Code, 11 U.S.C.§§ 101-1532. The transaction was approved on September 23, 2024, by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. The Company completed the acquisition of the Acquired Assets (as defined in the APA) effective September 30, 2024, in the Company’s fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024, in consideration for a cash purchase price of $ 54.5 million (“SunPower Acquisition”). The assets and businesses acquired, including liabilities assumed, by the Company under the APA are referred to herein as the “SunPower Businesses.” Prior to its acquisition, the SunPower Businesses operated as a solar technology and energy services provider that offered fully integrated solar, storage, and home energy solutions to customers in the United States through an array of hardware, software, and “Smart Energy” solutions. The financial results of the SunPower Businesses have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements since its date of acquisition. This transaction was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805 . Transaction costs of $ 7.2 million incurred in connection with the close of the SunPower Businesses were expensed by the Company and included in general and administrative expenses on the Company’s statement of operations and comprehensive loss in the fiscal year ended December 29, 2024. The provisional fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed initially recorded were based upon a preliminary valuation in the fiscal year ended December 29, 2024. Upon finalization of the fair values in the fiscal year ended December 28, 2025, the Company recorded adjustments to acquired inventory related to (1) the resolution of work-in-progress at various stages of completion as of the acquisition date for which further analysis was required in order to determine which systems could be sold to a financing partner, and (2) completed systems that were acquired as of the acquisition date for which uncertainty existed due to unsettled matters with the SunPower Bankruptcy Estate, which were resolved in connection with the Company’s settlement with the SunPower Bankruptcy Estate. The settlement of these matters resulted in adjustments to the provisional fair values of the inventory and intangibles with an offsetting adjustment to goodwill during the measurement period. F- 21 The following table summarizes the provisional and final fair values of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed and measurement period adjustments (in thousands) : Provisional fair values as of December 29, 2024 Measurement period adjustments in fiscal 2025 Final fair values Net assets acquired: Cash $ 1,000 $ — $ 1,000 Accounts receivable 11,999 4,615 16,614 Contract assets 4,615 ( 4,615 ) — Inventories 27,706 20,682 48,388 Prepaid expenses and other current assets 2,219 — 2,219 Property and equipment 5,867 — 5,867 Operating lease right-of-use assets 2,506 — 2,506 Other noncurrent assets 541 — 541 Intangibles 18,100 ( 2,206 ) 15,894 Deferred revenue ( 7,361 ) — ( 7,361 ) Accounts payable ( 5,270 ) — ( 5,270 ) Accrued expenses and other current liabilities ( 13,955 ) — ( 13,955 ) Operating lease liabilities ( 2,963 ) — ( 2,963 ) Other long-term liabilities ( 8,980 ) — ( 8,980 ) Fair value of net assets acquired 36,024 18,476 54,500 Goodwill recognized 18,476 ( 18,476 ) — Consideration transferred $ 54,500 $ — $ 54,500 The provisional and final fair values of the intangible assets acquired and estimated useful lives were as follows: Estimated useful life Provisional fair values as of December 29, 2024 Measurement period adjustments in fiscal 2025 Final fair values Trademark – Blue Raven Solar 10 years $ 8,400 $ ( 1,306 ) $ 7,094 Trademark - SunPower 10 years 5,200 ( 900 ) 4,300 Developed technology 3 years 4,500 — 4,500 Total $ 18,100 $ ( 2,206 ) $ 15,894 The fair values of the trademarks were estimated using the relief-from-royalty method. This approach measures the value of the asset based on the hypothetical royalties the Company would avoid paying if it had to license the trademark from a third party. The analysis considers the established history and longevity of the trade names, including the Blue Raven brand, in use since 2014, and the SunPower brand, which has been in the market for over 20 years. Key assumptions include projecting sales attributable to business enterprise value for each respective business, applying a 1 % royalty rate derived from a profit-split analysis and benchmarking against the median of comparable licensing arrangements, and utilizing a 10-year economic life in line with management’s plans to continue using the brands for the foreseeable future. The fair value of the developed technology was estimated using the cost approach, which measures the economic resources required to recreate the asset, including direct costs and necessary entrepreneurial incentives. Direct costs were based on management’s estimate of the fees and profit margin that would be required to engage external consultants to rebuild the technology. In addition, an opportunity cost was incorporated to reflect the hypothetical return foregone during the development period, representing the income that could have been earned had these funds been invested elsewhere. The total replacement cost was calculated assuming a weighted-average redevelopment period of 19 months. The SunPower Acquisition contributed $ 83.8 million and $ 6.5 million in revenue and income before income taxes from continuing operations, respectively, for the period from the acquisition date to the fiscal year ended December 29, 2024. F- 22 Sunder Energy LLC Acquisition On September 21, 2025, a subsidiary of the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (“Sunder MIPA”) with Sunder Energy LLC (“Sunder”) and the seller, Chicken Parm Pizza LLC (“Seller/Member”), the sole member of Sunder. On September 24, 2025 (“Sunder Closing”), the Company completed the acquisition of the membership interests of Sunder for an aggregate consideration of $ 57.8 million (“Sunder Acquisition”). Per the terms of the Sunder MIPA, the Company acquired all of the outstanding membership interest of Sunder for (1) $ 20.7 million in cash, subject to certain working capital and other adjustments; (2) a promissory note to the Member in the principal amount of $ 20.0 million (“Seller Note”); and (3) 10.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock (valued at the closing share price on September 24, 2025, of $ 1.71 per share), consisting of (i) 3,333,334 shares of the Company’s common stock issued at the Sunder Closing and (ii) subject to approval of such issuances by the Company’s stockholders, (x) 3,333,333 shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued on the 12-month anniversary of the Sunder Closing and (y) 3,333,333 shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued on the 18-month anniversary of the Sunder Closing (“Deferred Sunder Consideration Shares”). In lieu of issuing the Deferred Sunder Consideration Shares, the Company, in its sole discretion, may elect to pay the Member a cash payment equal to the number of Deferred Sunder Consideration Shares otherwise issuable by the Company multiplied by the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s common stock as quoted on Nasdaq for the 30 -trading day period ending two business days prior to the date on which the applicable Deferred Sunder Consideration Shares are otherwise issuable (“Cash in Lieu Amount”). If the Company elects to pay the Cash in Lieu Amount, 50 % of the Cash in Lieu Amount will be paid on the three-month anniversary of the date on which the applicable Deferred Sunder Consideration Shares are otherwise issuable, with the remaining 50 % of the Cash in Lieu Amount payable on the 6 month anniversary of the date on which the applicable Deferred Sunder Consideration Shares are otherwise issuable. The shares of the Company’s common stock issued and expected to be issued were valued at aggregate of $ 17.1 million at the date of acquisition. The common stock issued at the Sunder Closing was valued at $ 5.7 million and accounted for within Additional paid-in-capital on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The Deferred Sunder Consideration Shares payable is presented as noted below on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 28, 2025. The fair value of the Sunder deferred consideration was subsequently adjusted downward to $ 10.8 million from the Sunder Closing to December 28, 2025. The Company concluded that since the sellers joined the Company and represent members of management, they have a level of influence that is not insignificant, they are related parties of the Company, and therefore the Deferred Consideration and Seller Note are a related party obligations. The consideration is summarized as follows (in thousands): Consideration Cash $ 20,689 Seller note 20,000 Fair value of 3,333,334 shares of the Company’s common stock (classified within Additional paid-in-capital) 5,700 Deferred Sunder Consideration Shares (fair value of 6,666,666 shares of the Company’s common stock): Classified within Deferred consideration, current with related party 5,700 Classified within Deferred consideration, noncurrent with related party 5,700 Fair value of total consideration $ 57,789 The Company financed a portion of the transaction through the issuance of $ 22.0 million of 7.0 % senior unsecured convertible notes (the “September 2025 Notes”) and a $ 20.0 million Seller Note. Refer to Note 10 – Borrowings and Derivative Liabilities for details regarding these obligations. Sunder is a solar sales company. The Company acquired Sunder as a strategic acquisition to expand its overall market share and its penetration into more U.S. states. The financial results of Sunder have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements since its date of acquisition. The provisional fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed were based upon a preliminary valuation, and the Company’s estimates and assumptions have been revised during the measurement period to refine the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon the facts and circumstances existing at the date of acquisition which resulted in the measurement period adjustments noted below. The purchase price accounting remains open for the components of working capital, identification and valuation of intangibles and allocation of goodwill. The Company has elected the practical expedient within ASC 805-20-30-27 through 805-20-30-30 to recognize and measure contract liabilities in accordance with ASC 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) as if it had originated the acquired contract. Thus, the amount of any contract liabilities immediately prior to the acquisition will be the comparable amounts recognized in the determination of assets acquired and liabilities assumed by the Company. F- 23 The following table summarizes the provisional fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed (in thousands) : Provisional fair values as of September 24, 2025 Measurement period adjustments in fiscal 2025 Provisional fair values as of December 28, 2025 Net assets acquired: Accounts receivable $ 257 $ 540 $ 797 Prepaid expenses and other current assets 387 2,652 3,039 Property and equipment 241 — 241 Operating lease right-of-use assets 313 — 313 Other noncurrent assets 552 ( 417 ) 135 Intangibles 25,922 11,578 37,500 Contract liabilities ( 11,073 ) ( 600 ) ( 11,673 ) Accounts payable ( 184 ) ( 19 ) ( 203 ) Accrued expenses and other current liabilities ( 1,322 ) ( 2,528 ) ( 3,850 ) Operating lease liabilities ( 215 ) ( 117 ) ( 332 ) Fair value of net assets acquired 14,878 11,089 25,967 Consideration transferred 57,789 — 57,789 Goodwill recognized $ 42,911 $ ( 11,089 ) $ 31,822 As of the date of acquisition, the intangible assets acquired and estimated useful lives were as follows: Estimated useful life Provisional fair values as of September 24, 2025 Measurement period adjustments in fiscal 2025 Provisional fair values as of December 28, 2025 Customer relationships 10 years $ 9,279 $ 21,321 $ 30,600 Trademark - Sunder 10 years 2,427 3,673 6,100 Developed technology - Sunder 2 years 14,216 ( 13,416 ) 800 Total $ 25,922 $ 11,578 $ 37,500 The fair value of customer relationships was estimated using the excess earnings method, which measures the cash flows attributable to existing customers after deducting all supporting expenses and contributory asset charges. The assumptions used included revenue included all business enterprise valuation sales, reduced by a 5% attrition rate based on historical customer turnover, with operating expenses estimated as a percentage of sales and no sales-and-marketing adjustment since such efforts do not directly support existing customers. Contributory asset charges were applied for the use of working capital, fixed assets, workforce, trademarks, and internal-use software, and cash flows were projected over the period in which customer relationships were expected to produce meaningful benefit, with the economic life extending until those cash flows became minimal. The fair value of the trademark was estimated using the relief-from-royalty method. This approach measures the value of the asset based on the hypothetical royalties the Company would avoid paying if it had to license the trademark from a third party. The assumptions used to value the trademark included projected sales based upon the business enterprise valuation considered attributable to the trademark, a royalty rate of 1.0 % supported by a profit-split analysis and benchmarking against comparable licensing arrangements in the solar and broader energy industries and a useful economic life of 10 years consistent with management’s expectations for continued use and the anticipated longevity of the brand’s market relevance. The fair value of Sunder’s developed technology was estimated using the cost approach, which measures value based on the cost to reproduce or replace the existing software in its current state. The analysis considered the historical direct development costs, including Sunder’s ongoing investment of approximately since late 2023, representing labor, design, coding, and testing efforts required to build the technology. In addition to direct costs, the valuation incorporated opportunity costs, which reflect the portion of the software expected to be added, modified, or removed over time based on management’s estimates of ongoing development needs. Together, these inputs approximate the current replacement cost of the technology, adjusted for necessary updates and functional improvements. F- 24 Goodwill represents the excess of the preliminary estimated consideration transferred over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired that is associated with the excess cash flows that the acquisition is expected to generate in the future. The goodwill is tax deductible. Sunder contributed $ 14.4 million and $ 6.2 million in revenue and income before income taxes from continuing operations, respectively, for the period from the acquisition date to the fiscal year ended December 28, 2025.

At the Ambia Closing, the Company acquired all of the outstanding membership interests of Ambia from Ambia Holdings for: (a) 10,243,924 shares of common stock of the Company (the “Ambia Closing Consideration Shares”), issued at the Ambia Closing to Ambia Holdings; and (b) an agreement to issue an additional $ 9.375 million of shares of the Company’s common stock on each of the six-month anniversary of the Ambia Closing and the 12-month anniversary of the Ambia Closing (collectively such additional shares of common stock, the “Deferred Ambia Consideration Shares”). The issuance of the Deferred Ambia Consideration Shares is subject to approval by the Company’s stockholders following the Ambia Closing. The actual number of Deferred Ambia Consideration Shares issuable by the Company on the six- and 12-month anniversaries of the Ambia Closing will be determined based on the 20 -day trailing volume-weighted average price of the Company’s common stock after market close on the business day immediately prior to the issuance date of the applicable shares (the “VWAP Value”); provided that the VWAP Value for the calculation of the actual number of Deferred Ambia Consideration Shares issuable by the Company will not be more than $ 2.8102 per share or less than $ 1.4988 per share. Additionally, the number of Deferred Ambia Consideration Shares issuable by the Company is subject to adjustment pursuant to customary working capital and balance sheet adjustment terms and subject to offset for certain indemnifiable damages in accordance with the Ambia MIPA. The fair value of the deferred consideration shares at the Ambia Closing was $ 16.9 million. The Company’s closing share price for its common stock of $ 1.61 on November 21, 2025 was used to fair value the shares issued at the Ambia Closing.
