expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts
or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The
words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,”
“intends,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,”
“project,” “should,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking
statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may include, for example and without limitation, statements about:
●
our ability to obtain funding for our operations and future growth, including in connection with the integration of our acquisitions, and our ability to raise capital and refinance our existing debt;

in our supply chains and distribution channels, tariffs and trade barriers, export regulations,
bank failures, geopolitical conflicts and other macroeconomic conditions on our business
and operations, results of operations and financial position;
● our
ability to leverage our acquisitions, including our ability to integrate acquired businesses,

potential impact of changes to and developments relating to the regulations and policies
applicable to our business, customers and the industry;

future capital requirements, the sufficiency of our cash, and sources and uses of cash, including

Actual
events or results may differ from those expressed in forward-looking statements. You should not rely on forward-looking statements as
predictions of future events. We have based the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q primarily on our current
expectations and projections about future events and trends that may affect our business, financial condition and operating results.
The outcome of the events described in these forward-looking statements is subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors referenced
in section Item 1.A “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and
rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and we cannot predict all risks and uncertainties
that could impact the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The results, events and circumstances
reflected in the forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur, and actual results, events or circumstances could differ materially
from those described in the forward-looking statements.
In
addition, statements that “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These
statements are based on information available to us as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. While we believe that information
provides a reasonable basis for these statements, that information may be limited or incomplete. Our statements should not be read to
indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain,
and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely on these statements.
The
forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relate only to events as of the date the statements are made. We undertake
no obligation to update any forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to reflect events or circumstances
after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or to reflect new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events, except
as required by law. We may not achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and you should
not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of future
acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures or investments.

SUNPOWER

Notes
to Unaudited Condensed 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. References
to the Company and SunPower include the same entity under its previous name of Complete Solaria. The Company is headquartered in Orem,
Utah.
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”).
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”).
The
Company operates on a 52-to-53-week fiscal year that ends on the Sunday closest to December 31. The Company’s first fiscal quarters
for 2026 and 2025 in this report on Form 10-Q ended on March 29, 2026 (“Q1 2026”) and March 30, 2025 (“Q1 2025”),
respectively.
Acquisitions
In
the fiscal year ended December 28, 2025, the Company completed the acquisitions of Sunder Energy, LLC (“Sunder”) and Ambia
Energy LLC (“Ambia”). On February 2, 2026, the Company completed the acquisition of Cobalt Power Systems, Inc. (“Cobalt”).
Each of these acquisitions was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)
805, Business Combination. Refer to Note 3 – Business Combinations for details of these transactions.
Liquidity
and going concern
The Company’s operating loss was $ 19.2 million in the thirteen
weeks ended March 29, 2026. As of March 29, 2026, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $ 451.5 million, current debt of $ 38.0 million,
and cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash, of $ 9.5 million. The Company anticipates that operating losses and negative
operating cash flows will 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 stockholders 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 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q 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, within the timeframe required by the SEC. 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 a 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 unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. The accompanying unaudited condensed 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.

Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis
of presentation
The
interim unaudited condensed 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.
The
accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared by the Company in accordance
with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with
the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, these interim unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.
In
the opinion of management, these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of
normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of March 29, 2026, and the results
of operations for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2026 and March 30, 2025. These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the
fiscal year ended December 28, 2025, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 14, 2026.
The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any other
future period.

Use
of estimates
The
preparation of interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect reported amounts.
Revenue
recognition
The
Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) when
control of the promised products and services is transferred to the customer and its performance obligations are satisfied. The Company’s
performance obligation in its Residential Solar Installation and New Homes Business segments is to design and install a fully functioning
solar energy system. The design, delivery of system components, installation, and services facilitating interconnection to the power
grid are accounted for as a single performance obligation.
Revenue
is recognized in the amount of consideration the Company expects to be entitled to receive, net of customer incentives such as discounts
or rebates, and variable consideration is estimated at each reporting date to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal will
not occur. Amounts invoiced and collected in advance of performance are recorded as deferred revenue. The Company’s contracts do
not contain significant financing components.
For
Residential Solar Installation and New Homes Business cash and financing arrangements, revenue is generally recognized over time beginning
when the system is fully installed, as this is when the customer obtains control of the asset. Revenue is recognized using an input method
based on direct installation costs. For New Homes Business lease arrangements, revenue is recognized at a point in time upon customer
acceptance of the completed system.
In the Dealer segment, the Company earns revenue
from contracts for solar installations performed by third-party installers. The Company acts as an agent in these arrangements and recognizes
revenue on a net basis at the point in time when substantial completion is achieved. The Company does not provide warranty services related
to Dealer contracts. During the thirteen week period ended March 29, 2026, the Company amended customer contracts and under the amended
contractual terms, the point at which control transfers to the customer changed from permission to operate (“PTO”) to substantial
completion of the installation. As a result, the Company recognized incremental revenue of $ 12.4 million in the thirteen week period ended
March 29, 2026, related to the contract modifications.
Incremental
costs of obtaining customer contracts
As of March 29, 2026 and December 28, 2025, deferred commissions were
$ 8.1 million and $ 5.6 million, respectively.

(3) Business
Combinations
Cobalt
Power Systems, Inc.
On
January 30, 2026, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Share Purchase Agreement”) with Cobalt and Cobalt’s
stockholders (the “Cobalt Stockholders”). The Company, Cobalt and the Cobalt Stockholders completed the closing under the
Share Purchase Agreement (the “Cobalt Closing”) on February 2, 2026. At the Cobalt Closing, the Company acquired all of the
outstanding stock of Cobalt from the Cobalt Stockholders for: (a) 1.8 million shares (the “Closing Consideration Shares”)
of the Company’s common stock and (b) an agreement to issue an additional $ 3.33 million of shares of the Company’s common
stock on each of the 12-month and 18-month anniversaries of the Cobalt Closing (“Post-Closing Consideration Shares). Additionally,
the Company agreed to issue up to $ 2.0 million of restricted stock units to those Cobalt employees who continue their employment with
the Company following the Cobalt Closing, and 850,000 restricted stock units will be issued as inducement grants to certain Cobalt key
employees. Based on the analysis of the payments made or to be made in connection with the acquisition of Cobalt under ASC 805, the Company
concluded that the $ 2.0 million of restricted stock units is considered compensation and, therefore, this amount has been excluded from
the business combination consideration. Cobalt designs and installs solar systems for residential and commercial clients.
Total consideration for Cobalt was $ 9.66 million,
which consists of $3.33 million paid at the Cobalt Closing and Post-Closing Consideration Shares valued at $ 6.33 million. The $ 3.33 million
fair value of the shares of common stock issued at the Cobalt Closing was derived based on the Company’s closing stock price in
a 5-day volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) immediately preceding the Cobalt Closing to determine the number of shares
issued. The Post-Closing Consideration Shares are treated as a liability for financial reporting purposes and are reported within Deferred
consideration, current and deferred consideration, noncurrent within the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet,
and were valued using a Monte Carlo simulation model to capture the variability in the number and value of shares issuable at the 12-
and 18-month post-closing dates. Under the terms of the agreement, the deferred obligation represents a fixed dollar amount that will
be settled in a variable number of shares determined based on the 5-day VWAP immediately prior to each issuance date, resulting in an
inverse relationship between share price and shares issued. The model incorporates key assumptions, including a starting VWAP of $ 1.69 ,
a risk-free rate of 3.53 %, expected volatility of 85.5 % derived from peer company analysis and historical data, and a 1.5 -year simulation
horizon. For each simulated stock price path, the model calculates the resulting share issuances and corresponding payment values, discounts
those amounts to present value, and averages the outcomes across simulations to estimate fair value, resulting in a concluded value of
approximately $ 6.33 million as of the valuation date. The total consideration is summarized as follows (in thousands):

The
provisional fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed were based upon the facts and circumstances existing at the Cobalt
Closing. The purchase price accounting remains open for the valuation of intangibles, certain liabilities and allocation of goodwill.
The Company 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 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.

As of the

Cobalt Closing
Customer relationships (Backlog) 18 months $ 1,100
Trade name – Cobalt 10 years 2,000
Building lease intangible asset – favorable lease 6 years 771
Total $ 3,871
The
fair value of the backlog was estimated using the excess earnings method, an income-based approach, under which value is determined based
on the present value of the cash flows attributable specifically to the backlog after deducting appropriate returns for contributory
assets. Projected revenues were based on the contractual backlog existing as of the valuation date, and operating expenses were estimated
as a percentage of revenue, with an adjustment to exclude sales and marketing expenses. Based on management’s estimates, substantially
all sales and marketing efforts relate to acquiring new customers and are not required to fulfill the existing backlog. Contributory
asset charges were applied for the use of working capital, fixed assets, assembled workforce, and trademarks.
The
trade name’s fair value was estimated using the relief-from-royalty method, which measures the present value of avoided royalty
payments. The valuation considered qualitative factors such as Cobalt’s long operating history since 2003, strong reputation for
affordable and reliable solar solutions, and established market presence with over 2,400 installations. It assumed the trade name supports
all revenues and applied a 1.0 % royalty rate based on profit-split analysis and market data. The trade name was assigned a 10 -year useful
life, reflecting expected continued use and brand support
The
fair value of the building lease was estimated using an income approach, specifically a discounted cash flow model, reflecting the present
value of the difference between contractual rent and estimated market rent over the remaining lease term. Key assumptions include a market
rent derived from comparable properties, a 2.0 % annual rental growth rate, and an 8.50 % discount rate consistent with market participant
return expectations and leasehold-specific risks.
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 not
deductible for tax purposes.
Cobalt
contributed $ 5.0 million and $ 0.3 million in revenue and income before income taxes from operations, respectively, for the period from
the acquisition date to March 29, 2026.
Sunder
Energy LLC
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 (“CPP”), 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) 3.3
million 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) 3.3 million shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued on the 12-month anniversary of
the Sunder Closing and (y) 3.3 million 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 six-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 Sunder Closing. 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.
10
On
April 23, 2026, the Company and CPP entered into an amended and restated Seller Note that, following certain payoffs under the prior
Seller Note, has an amended principal amount of $ 7.0 million (the “A&R Seller Note”). Refer to Note 18 – Subsequent
Events for details.
On
March 25, 2026, the Company’s stockholders approved the issuance of the Deferred Sunder Consideration Shares, and the Company’s
option to pay the Cash in Lieu Amount expired. Accordingly, the value of the Deferred Sunder Consideration Shares became fixed on that
date. The fair value of the 6.7 million Deferred Sunder Consideration Shares was $ 8.5 million as of March 25, 2026. Under ASC 815-40,
Derivatives and Hedging , as all of the substantive contingencies have been resolved and only remaining condition is the passage
of time, the obligation met the criteria for equity classification. As such, the Company reclassified the Deferred Sunder Consideration
Shares obligation from liability to equity as of March 29, 2026. Pursuant to an Amendment and Agreement dated as of March 5, 2026 between
CPP and the Company, the Company agreed to issue all of the Deferred Sunder Consideration Shares following receipt of approval by the
Company’s stockholders, and the Deferred Sunder Consideration Shares were subsequently issued on April 8, 2026. Refer to Note
18 – Subsequent Events for details.
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; therefore, they are related
parties to the Company.
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.

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 Seller Note in the original principal amount of $ 20.0 million, which has been amended by the A&R Seller Note
in the principal amount of $ 7.0 million subsequent to March 29, 2026. Refer to Note 9 – Borrowings and Derivative Liabilities
and Note 18 – Subsequent Events for details regarding these obligations.
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 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.

Total $ 37,500
The
fair value of customer relationships was estimated using the excess earnings method. 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.
12
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 in 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.
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.
Ambia
Energy LLC
On
November 21, 2025, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Ambia MIPA”) with Ambia and Ambia
Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation and the sole member of Ambia (“Ambia Holdings”) to acquire Ambia (the “Ambia
Acquisition”). Ambia was the sole operating entity within Ambia Holdings. Ambia is a residential solar energy system installer
and operates in various markets throughout the United States.
The
Company, Ambia and Ambia Holdings completed the closing under the Ambia MIPA on November 21, 2025 (the “Ambia Closing”).
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. On March 25, 2026, the Company’s stockholders approved the issuance of the Deferred Ambia
Consideration Shares.
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
initial 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. The total consideration
is summarized as follows (in thousands):

(1) Useful life is based upon customer consumption, expected to occur within one year.
Trademarks
were derived using the relief from royalty method based upon the following key assumptions; (i) all sales based upon the business enterprise
value; (ii) a royalty rate of 1 % based upon profit split analysis and comparable licensing royalty agreements; and (iii) an economic
life of the Ambia name through the end of 2026, wherein the Ambia name will only be used in certain small markets and that all sales,
marketing and branding will be done under the SunPower brand name in relatively short order.
Customer
relationships (backlog) was derived using the excess earnings method based upon the following key assumptions: (i) backlog meets the
appropriate contractual criteria; (ii) sales were based upon the backlog of sales; (iii) expenses were based upon a percentage of sales
with an adjustment for sales and marketing expenses, upon which management estimates that 100% of Ambia’s sales and marketing expenses
are directed at acquiring new customers and are not required to support the backlog; (iv) charges were taken for the use of working capital,
fixed assets, workforce and trademarks; and (v) the economic life of the backlog is to the end of fiscal 2026 based upon management’s
estimate of average deal length.
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.

Derivative
liabilities
The
Company recognized derivative liabilities arising from the conversion features of its senior unsecured convertible notes issued (refer
to Note 9 – Borrowings and Derivative Liabilities ). Derivative liabilities are measured at fair value in accordance with
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement . The fair value of each respective derivative liability is measured using a Monte Carlo simulation
that incorporates a binomial lattice model. Significant inputs to the binomial lattice model include the terms of the senior unsecured
convertible notes (including the interest rate, conversion rate and conversion price), the underlying price of the Company’s common
stock, risk-free rate and volatility. Certain of these inputs are unobservable. Thus, these derivative liabilities are classified within
Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The binomial lattice model produces an estimated fair value based on changes in the price of the
underlying shares of the Company’s common stock over successive periods of time. As a result of these interrelationships and inherent
unobservable assumptions, the fair value of a derivative liability is subject to significant measurement uncertainty, and alternative
reasonable assumptions could have produced materially different results as of March 29, 2026 and December 28, 2025.

$1.9
Million Note and March 2026 Bridge Note
The
Company elected the fair value option under ASC 825 for the $1.9 Million Note (as defined in Note 9 – Borrowings and Derivative
Liabilities) issued on January 27, 2026 in connection with the Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (as defined in Note 9 –
Borrowings and Derivative Liabilities ) and the March 2026 Bridge Note (as defined in Note 9 – Borrowings and Derivative
Liabilities) issued on March 6, 2026. The $1.9 Million Note and March 2026 Bridge Note were measured at fair value on a recurring
basis and classified as a Level 3 liability due to the use of significant unobservable inputs.
The
Company estimated the fair value of each obligation using a Monte Carlo simulation model, which captures the economic characteristics
of the instrument, including its variable conversion price feature that is dependent on future market prices of the Company’s common
stock. The Company utilized a “Bond plus Option” approach, where the value of upside plus amortization was determined in
a simulation and the value related to principal repayment was calculated as a single payment of principal at maturity. The Company simulated
its stock price from the valuation date to maturity date, at a daily step.
With
respect to the $1.9 Million Note, on each of the simulated paths, the Company (i) tested for an amortization trigger as applicable; and
(ii) assumed that the maturity date will not be extended. Once the payoffs for all simulation paths were determined according to above,
they were discounted back to the valuation date at the risk-free rate in case the $1.9 Million Note would be converted and at credit
risk-adjusted rate otherwise.
19
With
respect to the March 2026 Bridge Note, on each of the simulated paths, the Company determined the maximum payoff on each installment
date based on conversion price. Once the payoffs for all simulation paths were determined according to above, they were discounted back
to the valuation date at the risk-free rate in case the March 2026 Bridge Note would be converted and at credit risk-adjusted rate otherwise.
The
fair value of these obligations was each calculated as the average present value across all simulation paths plus present value of debt
component. The model was calibrated to transaction proceeds by varying credit risk-adjusted rate in the model. The change in yields between
the valuation dates was applied to the credit risk-adjusted rate to account for market changes. Thus, these obligations are classified
within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as the fair values are based upon unobservable inputs.
The
key inputs for the simulation include stock price, simulation period and volatility of the Company’s common stock and were as follows
as of March 29, 2026:

The
fair value measurement reflects a probability-weighted assessment of settlement outcomes, including conversion into equity versus cash
repayment scenarios, and captures the optionality inherent in the instrument. Changes in these assumptions, particularly stock price
volatility, credit spread, and the likelihood of conversion, can result in significant fluctuations in the estimated fair value. Changes
in fair value are recognized in operating results within “Other non-operating income, net,” in the Company’s unaudited
condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, and no separate interest expense is recorded, as the fair value
measurement incorporates the economic cost of the financing.
Public
warrants
The
public warrants are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The public warrants were valued based on the closing price of the publicly
traded instrument and therefore are considered a Level 1 instrument in the fair value hierarchy.
Private
placement and working capital warrants
The
Company valued the private placement and working capital warrants, based on a binomial lattice model, which included the following
inputs:

The
expected term is the time period to the expiration date of the warrants. The risk-free rate is interpolated from the U.S. Constant Maturity
Treasury curve for a term matching the corresponding remaining life. Volatility was calibrated based on the public warrants closing price
as of the valuation date. As the private and working capital warrants have terms nearly identical to the publicly traded warrants, the
volatility was calibrated until the model price equaled the public warrants closing price. These inherent unobservable assumptions are
subject to significant measurement uncertainty, and alternative reasonable assumptions could have produced materially different
results as of March 29, 2026 and December 28, 2025. Thus, the private placement and working capital warrant liabilities are classified
within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Volatility

The volume-weighted
average price (“VWAP”) reflects management’s judgment regarding expected future trading activity and price behavior
as an active forward market does not exist for the Company’s common stock. Reasonably possible alternative VWAP outcomes at the
reporting date could have resulted in a materially different fair value. The risk-free rate is derived from the applicable tenor of the
U.S. Treasury yield curve. Changes in the risk-free rate would alter the present value of the simulated settlement amounts and could
significantly impact the fair value estimate. The expected volatility is determined based on the historical equity volatility
of comparable companies over a period that matches the simulation period. Because expected volatility drives the dispersion of simulated
price paths, reasonably higher or lower volatility assumptions could materially increase or decrease the estimated fair value. These
inputs are interrelated, and changes in one may affect the others. As a result of these interrelationships and inherent unobservable
assumptions, the fair value of FPAs is subject to significant measurement uncertainty, and alternative reasonable assumptions could
have produced materially different results as of March 29, 2026 and December 28, 2025. Thus, FPAs are classified within Level 3 of the
fair value hierarchy.
SAFE
agreement with related party
The
Company measured the fair value of its SAFE using a valuation technique that incorporates significant unobservable inputs and is therefore
classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the SAFE is subject to estimation uncertainty because it depends
on management’s judgments about future events that are not directly observable in active markets. Management assigned a 50 % probability
that the SAFE will convert into shares of the Company’s stock in connection with a qualifying financing or other specified event.
If the SAFE does not convert, management expects cash repayment in fiscal 2026 or fiscal 2027, with a 50 % probability assigned to each
repayment year.
The
SAFE valuation also considers assumptions such as discount rates implied by the Company’s convertible notes as of the valuation
date, the timing and likelihood of financing or liquidity events, and, for the conversion path, the expected equity valuation and any
applicable conversion economics (e.g., discounts or valuation caps). Settlement of the SAFE is contingent on future financing or liquidity
events and the Company’s funding plans. Accordingly, the measurement requires judgment about the likelihood and timing of conversion
versus repayment and, where relevant, assumptions about the Company’s equity value at conversion. Because these factors are not
directly observable, reasonably possible alternative assumptions at the reporting date could produce a materially different fair value.
Increasing the probability of conversion would generally increase the fair value if the conversion terms imply a beneficial outcome to
the holder relative to repayment; decreasing that probability would place more weight on the repayment scenarios and could increase or
decrease the fair value depending on the applicable discount rate and timing of cash flows. Within the non-conversion path, shifting
probability weight toward repayment in fiscal year 2026 would generally increase fair value (lower discounting), while shifting weight
toward fiscal 2027 would generally decrease fair value (greater discounting), holding other inputs constant. A higher discount rate would
decrease the present value of expected cash flows (and thus fair value), while a lower rate would increase fair value. Higher expected
equity values or more favorable conversion economics would increase the fair value under the conversion path; lower expected equity values
or less favorable terms would decrease it. These inputs are interrelated and unobservable. Because the valuation depends on significant
unobservable inputs—including a 50% probability of conversion to equity and an even allocation between fiscal years 2026 and 2027
of repayment if conversion does not occur—there is significant measurement uncertainty, and alternative reasonable assumptions
at the reporting date could have resulted in a materially different fair value of the SAFE liability as of March 29, 2026 and December
28, 2025. Thus, the SAFE liability is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
21
Deferred
Ambia Consideration Shares
The
Deferred Ambia consideration is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The
Company estimated the fair value of the deferred consideration shares using a Turnbull–Wakeman closed-form approximation for arithmetic
average-rate options, with Black-Scholes values used as an upper bound. The valuation as of March 29, 2026, was based on a stock price
of $ 1.25 and key assumptions including expected volatility of approximately 52 % to 72 %, risk-free rates of approximately 3.74 % to 3.76 %,
zero dividend yield, and defined averaging periods over the contractual terms. The resulting fair values reflect per-unit option values
of approximately $ 0.26 to $ 0.38 corresponding to total estimated value of $ 13.9 million. The fair value of the deferred consideration
shares as of December 28, 2025 of $ 16.9 million was estimated using the Company’s closing share price for its common stock of $ 1.61
at 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
was 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

(8) SAFE
Agreement
Third
SAFE
On
May 13, 2024, the Company entered into a third SAFE (the “Third SAFE”) with the Rodgers Massey Freedom and Free Markets Charitable
Trust (the “Purchaser”), in connection with the Purchaser investing $1.0 million in the Company. The Third SAFE is convertible
into shares of the Company’s common stock upon the initial closing of a bona fide transaction or series of transactions with the
principal purpose of raising capital, pursuant to which the Company issues and sells shares of its common stock in an Equity Financing,
at a per share conversion price which is equal to 50% of the price per share of the Company’s common stock sold in the Equity
Financing. If the Company consummates a change of control prior to the termination of the Third SAFE, the Purchaser will be automatically
entitled to receive a portion of the proceeds of such liquidity event equal to $1.0 million, subject to certain adjustments as set forth
in the Third SAFE. The Third SAFE is convertible into a maximum of 2,750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, assuming a per
share conversion price of $0.275, which is the product of (i) $0.55, the closing price of the Company’s common stock on May 13,
2024, multiplied by (ii) 50%. Given that the SAFE could be settled in cash or a variable number of shares, the Company has accounted
for the instrument as a liability at its fair value.
The
SAFE liability represents the estimated fair value of the Company’s obligation to issue equity in the future. The fair value of
the Third SAFE approximated $ 0.6 million and $ 0.5 million as of March 29, 2026 and December 28, 2025, respectively. Refer to Note
5 – Fair Value Measurements for details.
On
April 23, 2026, the SAFE was converted and exchanged into $ 1.0 million principal amount of the Company’s 10.0 % convertible secured
notes due 2029. Refer to Note 18 – Subsequent Events for details.

Standby
Equity Purchase Agreement and $1.9 Million Note
On
January 27, 2026 (the “Effective Date”), SunPower entered into a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (the “SEPA”)
with YA II PN, LTD., a Cayman Islands exempt limited company (“YA”). Pursuant to the SEPA, YA agreed to advance up to $ 20.0
million (the “Pre-Paid Advances”) to the Company in the form of convertible promissory notes (each “Promissory Note”),
subject to the terms and conditions of the SEPA. Each Promissory Note bears interest at 0 % per annum, which increases to 18 % per annum
upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default (as defined in the Promissory Notes) for so long as such event remains uncured.
Each tranche is funded at a 10 % discount to its principal amount. The Promissory Notes are initially convertible into 540.5405 shares
of the Company’s common stock per $ 1,000 principal amount, subject to adjustment.
The
SEPA also provides the Company the right, subject to certain conditions, to require YA to purchase up to $ 25.0 million of the Company’s
common stock (“Commitment Amount”) through January 27, 2029.
In
connection with the SEPA, the Company paid YA total fees of $ 0.4 million consisting of $ 0.05 million of cash and 175,000 shares of the
Company’s common stock, with a fair value of $ 0.3 million, as a due diligence, structuring and commitment fee.
The
SEPA will automatically terminate on the earliest to occur of (i) January 27, 2029 or (ii) the date on which YA has purchased from the
Company under the SEPA the Commitment Amount in full. The Company may terminate the SEPA at any time upon five trading days’ prior
written notice to YA, provided that there are no outstanding advance notices under which the Company is yet to issue shares of its common
stock, there are no amounts outstanding under the Promissory Notes, and provided that the Company has paid all amounts owed to YA pursuant
to the SEPA. The Company and YA may also agree to terminate the SEPA by mutual written consent.
On
January 27, 2026, the first Pre-Paid Advance was disbursed. The gross amount of the borrowing under the Pre-Paid Advance was $ 1.9 million
which was advanced under a Promissory Note (“$ 1.9 Million Note”), and the Company received net proceeds of $ 1.71 million
after the contractual discount. The $ 1.9 Million Note matures on January 27, 2027, which may be extended at YA’s option. The Company’s
rights for further Pre-Paid Advances under the SEPA terminated pursuant to the terms of the SEPA.
The
Company elected the fair value option under ASC 825, Financial Instruments, for the $1.9 Million Note. Accordingly, the $1.9 Million
Note is recorded at fair value upon issuance and are subsequently remeasured at fair value at each reporting date, with changes in fair
value recognized in “non-operating Other non-operating income, net” in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated
statements of operations and comprehensive income. As a result of this election, the original issue discount, transaction costs, and
embedded conversion features are not separately accounted for and are instead reflected in the fair value of $1.9 Million Note. The $1.9
Million Note is classified as a Level 3 liability within the fair value hierarchy established by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement ,
due to the use of significant unobservable inputs in the valuation. Refer to Note 5 – Fair Value Measurements for a description
of the inputs and assumptions used in the valuation of the $ 1.9 Million Note.
The
initial amount of the $ 1.9 Million Note was recorded at its estimated fair value of $ 1.7 million on the issuance date. As of March 29,
2026, the $ 1.9 Million Note had a fair value of $ 1.5 million. The change in the fair value of the $ 1.9 Million Note was included in “Other
non-operating income, net” within the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income in the
thirteen week period ended March 29, 2026.
27
March
2026 Bridge Note
On March 6, 2026, the Company entered into a
purchase agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) with YA pursuant to which the Company issued a convertible debenture in the
principal amount of $ 10.0 million (the “March 2026 Bridge Note” and collectively with the $ 1.9 Million Note, the “Yorkville Notes”). The Company received net proceeds of $ 9.0 million at
issuance, after deducting fees payable under the Purchase Agreement. The March 2026 Bridge Note matures on March 6, 2027, unless
extended at YA’s option. The March 2026 Bridge Note bears interest at 0 % per annum; however, upon the occurrence and
continuance of an event of default, the interest rate increases to 18 % per annum.
The
Company elected the fair value option under ASC 825 for the March 2026 Bridge Note. As a result, the March 2026 Bridge Note is carried
at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings within “non-operating Other non-operating income, net” in
the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. As a result of this election,
the original issue discount, transaction costs, and embedded conversion features are not separately accounted for and are instead reflected
in the fair value of the March 2026 Bridge Note. The March 2026 Bridge Note is classified as a Level 3 liability within the fair value
hierarchy established by ASC 820 due to the use of significant unobservable inputs in the valuation. See Note 5 – Fair Value
Measurements for additional information regarding the valuation of the March 2026 Bridge Note, including key assumptions and valuation
methodologies.
The
initial amount of the March 2026 Bridge Note was recorded at its estimated fair value of $ 9.0 million on the issuance date. As of March
29, 2026, the March 2026 Bridge Note had a fair value of $ 9.5 million. The change in the fair value of the March 2026 Bridge Note was
included in “Other non-operating income, net” within the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations
and comprehensive income in the thirteen week period ended March 29, 2026.
The March 2026 Bridge Note required installment
payments on May 6, 2026, June 6, 2026, July 6, 2026, August 6, 2026, and September 6, 2026 (each, an “Installment Date”).
On each Installment Date, the Company was required to pay an amount equal to (i) $ 2.0 million of principal, (ii) a payment premium of
$ 0.06 million, and (iii) any accrued and unpaid interest (collectively, the “Installment Amount”). The Company may satisfy
each Installment Amount, at its option, (a) in cash, (b) by submitting an advance notice pursuant to the SEPA, or (c) through a combination
of cash and such advance notice. On April 21, 2026, the Company and YA agreed to amend the Installment Dates in connection with a $ 5.0
million prepayment of the March 2026 Bridge Note. As amended, on each of May 5, 2026, June 5, 2026, July 5, 2026 and August 5, 2026,
the Company is required to pay an amount equal to (i) $ 1.25 million of principal, (ii) a payment premium of $ 0.0375 million, and (iii)
any accrued and unpaid interest. Refer to Note 18 – Subsequent Events for details.
At
any time after issuance, YA may convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal balance into shares of the Company’s common
stock at an adjusted fixed conversion price of $ 1.64 per share (the “Fixed Price”). In addition, any Installment Amount that
remains unpaid following an Installment Date may be converted at a price equal to 95 % of the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”)
of the Company’s common stock during the five trading days immediately preceding the conversion date, subject to a minimum conversion
price equal to the then-applicable floor price.
The
Company may, at its option, redeem all or a portion of the outstanding balance of the March 2026 Bridge Note (an “Optional Redemption”)
upon written notice to YA, provided that the VWAP of the Company’s common stock at the time of such notice is less than the Fixed
Price. The redemption price equals (i) the principal amount redeemed, (ii) a premium of 3 % of such principal amount, and (iii) any accrued
and unpaid interest; provided that the premium does not apply to Optional Redemptions completed on or prior to April 30, 2026.
Seller
Note – related party
On
September 24, 2025, the Company issued a note payable to CPP (“Seller Note”) in connection with the Company’s acquisition
of 100 % of the membership interests in Sunder and concluded that the Seller Note is a related party obligation (see Note 3 –
Business Combinations ). 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 was initially 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 its subsidiaries. The Seller
Note includes customary events of default, including: (a) the Company’s failure to pay the Seller Note when due, (b) the Company’s
voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, (c) the Company’s liquidation or dissolution, (d) a change of control of the Company, (e)
the Company’s material breach of the covenants applicable to the Company under the Seller Note, subject to applicable cure periods,
and (f) if any of the Company’s representations or warranties made in the Seller Note were untrue in any material respect when
made. Management concluded that the carrying value of the Seller Note approximates its fair value due to the short-term nature of the
obligation.
28
On
March 5, 2026, the Company entered into an amendment of the Seller Note (“Amendment”) providing that if the terms of the
SEPA would restrict 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 SEPA 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 Company and CPP agreed that 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 CPP’s agreement to the foregoing,
the Amendment also provides that, within two business days following approval by the Company’s stockholders of the issuance of
shares under the Sunder MIPA in accordance with applicable Nasdaq rules, the Company will issue the remaining shares of common stock
otherwise issuable to CPP pursuant to the Sunder MIPA. On April 8, 2026, the Company issued the remaining 6.7 million shares of the Company’s
common stock due under the Seller Note.
On
April 23, 2026, the Company and CPP entered into the A&R Seller Note with a revised principal amount of $ 7.0 million. Refer to Note
18 – Subsequent Events for details.
Interest
expense recognized on this obligation was less than $ 0.4 million in the thirteen week period ended March 29, 2026.
Loan with
related party
The
Company has a loan with a principal balance of $ 1.5 million owed to the Rodgers Revocable Trust, a related party. This loan has an annual
interest rate equal to the greater of 7.75 % or Prime plus 4.5 %. There are no financial covenants.
Interest
expense recognized on this obligation was less than $ 0.1 million in each of the thirteen week periods ended March 29, 2026 and March
30, 2025.
Cobalt
Loan
In connection with the acquisition of Cobalt,
the Company assumed a loan (“Cobalt Loan”). Cobalt originally entered into the loan on July 1, 2024, with Santa Cruz County
Bank. The principal amount of the Cobalt Loan was $ 3.0 million and has a final maturity on June 5, 2034. The Cobalt Loan is secured by
all of Cobalt’s business assets pursuant to a blanket lien as well as additional collateral, including limited guarantees secured
with a third deed of trust on certain real estate properties and other assets of the former owners of Cobalt. The interest rate on the
Cobalt loan is Prime plus 2.75 %.
The
Cobalt Loan may be declared due and payable at the option of the holder upon an event of default and upon a qualifying change of control
event.

million in cash proceeds. The remaining $ 18.0 million of the July 2024 Notes arose from an exchange of debt accounted for as a troubled
debt restructuring (“Debt Exchange”). Refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December
28, 2025 for details regarding $ 18.0 million of debt arising from the Debt Exchange.
Cash
proceeds of $ 28.0 million included $ 18.0 million from the Rodgers Revocable Trust, a related party and $ 10.0 million of the debt exchanged
was issued to Carlyle, also a related party. Carlyle was no longer deemed a related party to the Company subsequent to March 30, 2025.
29
The
July 2024 Notes bear interest at 12.0 % per annum, and the principal is payable in full at maturity on July 1, 2029 . The interest is payable
in cash on January 1 and July 1 of each year, beginning on July 1, 2025. The interest rate increases by 3 % in the event of default. The
conversion rate of the July 2024 Notes is initially equal to 595.2381 shares of common stock per $ 1,000 of principal amount due under
the July 2024 Notes. Holders of July 2024 Notes may convert at any time. The July 2024 Notes may be declared due and payable at the option
of the holder upon an event of default and upon a qualifying change of control event. The conversion option was required to be bifurcated
as a derivative liability, and the Company recorded a derivative liability of $ 28.7 million on the issuance date.
The
effective interest rate on the July 2024 Notes cash proceeds of $ 28.0 million approximates 45 % as of March 29. 2026. Coupon interest,
default interest and failure to file interest on the $ 18.0 million Debt Exchange were capitalized as part of the July 2024 Notes. Accordingly,
the effective interest rate on the $ 18.0 million arising from the Debt Exchange is nil as of March 29, 2026.

7.0% Senior
Unsecured Convertible Notes
On
September 16, 2024, the Company entered into an Indenture agreement with U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the
“Indenture”), for the issuance of 7.0 % senior unsecured convertible notes (“7.0% Notes”). The 7.0 % Notes issued
under the Indenture bear interest at 7.0 % per annum, and the interest is payable semiannually in arrears on January 1 and July 1 of each
year beginning on January 1, 2025. The principal is payable in full at maturity on July 1, 2029. Holders of the 7.0 % Senior Notes may
convert all or any portion of their 7 % Notes at any time, in integral multiples of $ 1,000 principal amount, at the option of the holder.
Upon conversion, the Company may satisfy its conversion obligation by paying or delivering, as the case may be, cash, shares of common
stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at the Company’s election, in the manner and subject to the terms, conditions
and limitations provided in the Indenture. The 7.0 % Senior Notes may be declared due and payable at the option of the holder upon an
event of default and upon a qualifying change of control event. There are no financial covenants. As described below, the Company has
issued multiple tranches under this Indenture.
The
conversion rate for the 7.0 % Notes was initially 467.8363 shares of common stock per $ 1,000 principal amount of 7.0 % Notes. The conversion
rate for the 7.0 % Notes is subject to adjustment from time to time in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, and as of December
28, 2025 the 7.0 % Notes were convertible at the rate of 584.7953 shares of common stock per $ 1,000 principal amount of the notes. In
addition, upon a conversion of the 7.0 % Notes, following certain corporate events that occur prior to the maturity date of the 7.0 % Notes
or if the Company delivers a notice of redemption in respect of the 7.0 % Notes, the Company will, under certain circumstances, increase
the conversion rate of the 7.0 % Notes for a holder who elects to convert its 7.0 % Notes following September 16, 2025, in connection with
such a corporate event that occurs prior to the maturity date, or if the Company delivers a notice of redemption in respect of the 7.0 %
Notes.
September
2024 Notes
The
Company issued an aggregate of $ 80.0 million of 7.0 % Notes to various lenders (the “September 2024 Notes”), of which the
Company received cash proceeds in two tranches of $ 66.8 million and $ 13.0 million in fiscal 2024. The remainder was received in fiscal
2025.
The
cash proceeds of $ 66.8 million included $ 4.0 million from the Rodgers Family Freedom and Free Markets Charitable Trust (“Massey
Charitable Trust”), a related party, and $ 4.0 million from the Rodgers Revocable Trust (collectively with Massey Charitable Trust,
“Massey Trusts”), also a related party. In fiscal 2025, a holder of $ 0.75 million of the September 2024 Notes became a member
of the Company’s board of directors and this note is now deemed to be with a related party beginning in fiscal 2025. As the $ 66.8
million of notes were issued with a debt discount in excess of the principal amount, the initial net carrying amount of the September
2024 Notes was zero. The debt discount is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the September 2024 Notes.
32
In
December 2024, the Company received proceeds of $ 13.0 million in a second tranche. The Company recognized a $ 10.9 million debt discount
in connection with these additional proceeds. The effective interest rate on this tranche is 64 % as of March 29, 2026.
Certain
holders of the September 2024 Notes exercised their rights to convert this debt to shares of the Company’s common stock. In the
thirteen week period ended March 29, 2025 $ 2.8 million of the September 2024 Notes were converted into 1.6 million shares of the Company’s
common stock. In the fiscal year ended December 29, 2025, $ 14.7 million of the September 2024 Notes were converted into 8.6 million shares
of the Company’s common stock.

of a derivative, and the Company recorded a derivative liability of $ 15.4 million on the issuance date. The Company also recognized a

rate on the September 2025 Notes approximated 78 % as of March 29, 2026. The net proceeds from the issuance of the September 2025 Notes

Indemnification
Agreements
From
time to time, in its normal course of business, the Company may indemnify other parties with which it enters into contractual relationships,
including customers, lessors, and parties to other transactions with the Company. The Company may agree to hold other parties harmless
against specific losses, such as those that could arise from breach of representation, covenant or third-party infringement claims. It
may not be possible to determine the maximum potential amount of liability under such indemnification agreements due to the unique facts
and circumstances that are likely to be involved in each particular claim and indemnification provision. Historically, there have been
no such indemnification claims. In the opinion of management, any liabilities resulting from these agreements would not have a material
adverse effect on the business, financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company.
Settlement
of dispute with SunPower Debtors Bankruptcy Estate
Following
the consummation of the acquisition of certain assets and assumption of certain liabilities of SunPower Debtors on September 30, 2024,
certain matters pertaining to the acquisition were under dispute which included 1) amounts owed to and from the buyer and seller with
respect to amounts held in escrow related to the consideration transferred, 2) the right to the cash acquired in the acquisition, and
3) the right for the Company to sell and collect for certain solar systems that were acquired as a part of the acquisition that were
sold or are to be sold to homebuilders within the New Homes Business. On June 25, 2025, all matters under dispute were resolved by the
Company and the SunPower Bankruptcy Estate. Matters 1) and 2) were resolved with such that no amounts were required to be paid (or received)
by the Company. Matter 3) was resolved such that the Company has the right to sell the related inventory acquired and collect the
underlying sales price for the sale of the solar system. In connection with each system sold, the Company is required to remit a
portion of the sales price to the SunPower Bankruptcy Estate. The impact of the related settlement is not anticipated to be material.
Legal
Matters
The
Company is a party to various legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company records a liability
when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. If the Company determines that
a loss is reasonably possible and the loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company discloses the reasonably possible
loss. The Company adjusts its accruals to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other
information and events pertaining to a particular case. Legal costs are expensed as incurred. Although claims are inherently unpredictable,
the Company is not aware of any matters that may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position,
results of operations, or cash flows. The Company has a loss contingency for legal settlements of $ 9.5 million recorded within accrued
expenses and other current liabilities on its consolidated balance sheets as of March 29, 2026, and December 28, 2025, respectively.

SolarPark
Litigation
In
January 2023, SolarPark Korea Co., LTD (“SolarPark”) demanded approximately $ 80.0 million during discussions between the
Company and SolarPark. In February 2023, the Company submitted its statement of claim seeking approximately $ 26.4 million in damages
against SolarPark. The ultimate outcome of this arbitration is currently unknown and could result in a material liability to the Company.
However, the Company believes that the allegations lack merit and intends to vigorously defend all claims asserted.
On
March 16, 2023, SolarPark filed a complaint against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (“the
Court”). The complaint alleges a civil conspiracy involving misappropriation of trade secrets, defamation, tortious interference
with contractual relations, inducement to breach of contract, and violation of California’s Unfair Competition Law. The complaint
indicates that SolarPark has suffered in excess of $ 220.0 million in damages.
On
May 11, 2023, SolarPark filed a motion for preliminary injunction to seek an order restraining the Company from using or disclosing SolarPark’s
trade secrets, making or selling shingled modules other than those produced by SolarPark, and from soliciting solar module manufacturers
to produce shingled modules using Solaria’s shingled patents. On May 18, 2023, the Company responded by filing a motion for partial
dismissal and stay. On June 1, 2023, SolarPark filed an opposition to the Company’s motion for dismissal and stay and a reply in
support of their motion for preliminary injunction. On June 8, 2023, the Company replied in support of its motion for partial dismissal
and stay. On July 11, 2023, the Court conducted a hearing to consider SolarPark’s and the Company’s respective motions. On
August 3, 2023, the Court issued a ruling, which granted the preliminary injunction motion with respect to any purported misappropriation
of SolarPark’s trade secrets. The Court’s ruling does not prohibit the Company from producing shingled modules or from utilizing
its own patents for the manufacture of shingled modules. The Court denied SolarPark’s motion seeking a defamation injunction. The
Court denied the Company’s motion to dismiss and granted the Company’s motion to stay the entire litigation pending the arbitration
in Singapore. On September 1, 2023, the Company filed a Limited Notice of Appeal to appeal the August 2023 order granting SolarPark’s
motion for preliminary injunction. On September 26, 2023, the Company filed a Notice of Withdrawal of Appeal and will not appeal the
Court’s Preliminary Injunction Order. Between August 2023 and March 2024, the parties were engaged in discovery negotiations and
the Company produced documents to SolarPark. The Company produced its last set of documents on March 14, 2024. On August 14, 2025, the
Court held a virtual hearing and revived the case. SolarPark subsequently amended the complaint, and the Company responded on October
14, 2025, with a motion to dismiss the complaint in its entirety. The Company also believes it has valid counterclaims to pursue against
SolarPark.
The
Court heard argument regarding the Company’s partial motion to dismiss on February 12, 2026. On April 8, 2026, the Court granted-in-part
and denied-in-part the Company’s partial motion to dismiss. The Court denied the Company’s motion as to the breach of contract
claim and granted the motion as to fraudulent inducement, tortious interference, and injunctive relief. The Court dismissed the tortious
interference and injunctive relief claims with prejudice but granted SolarPark’s leave to amend its fraudulent inducement claim.
On April 28, 2026, SolarPark filed a notice stating that it did not intend to amend its complaint to refile a fraudulent inducement claim.
SolarPark now intends to proceed only on the surviving claims (misappropriation of trade secrets and breach of contract). On April 29,
2026, the Court set a case management conference for June 4, 2026, and a deadline for filing a joint case management statement by May
28, 2026. The Company intends to answer the complaint and file counterclaims.
No
liability has been recorded on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as the likelihood of a loss is not probable at this
time.
Siemens
Litigation
On
July 22, 2021, Siemens Government Technologies, Inc. (“Siemens Government Technologies”) filed a lawsuit against Solaria
Corporation in Fairfax Circuit Court (the “Circuit Court”) in Fairfax, Virginia. On July 27, 2023, Siemens Government Technologies
moved to amend the complaint to add Siemens Industry Inc. as a co-plaintiff. This motion was granted on August 25, 2023. On October 23,
2023, Siemens Government Technologies and Siemens Industry Inc. (collectively, “Siemens”) and Solaria Corporation stipulated
to add Solar CA, LLC as a co-defendant. Solaria Corporation and Solar CA, LLC (collectively, the “Subsidiaries”) are both
wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. In the lawsuit, Siemens alleged that the Subsidiaries breached express and implied warranties
under a purchase order that Siemens placed with the Subsidiaries for a solar module system. Siemens claimed damages of approximately
$ 6.9 million, inclusive of amounts of the Subsidiaries’ indemnity obligations to Siemens, plus attorneys’ fees.
36
On
February 22, 2024, the Circuit Court issued an order against the Subsidiaries which awarded Siemens approximately $ 6.9 million, inclusive
of the amounts of the Subsidiaries’ indemnity obligations to Siemens, plus attorneys’ fees, the amount of which would be
determined at a later hearing. 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 Circuit Court entered a final order which awarded Siemens a total
of $ 2.0 million in attorneys’ fees and costs. The Company appealed these judgments.
In
addition to the above, 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. The Subsidiaries opposed the Siemens motion. On June 30, 2025, the California court found that the Company
should be added as a judgment debtor party in California. In addition, the parties argued the appeal of the underlying Virginia litigation
on July 24, 2025. On September 23, 2025, the Virginia Court of Appeals issued a decision on the appeal, affirming the original lower
court decision and judgment against the Company. The Alameda County litigation has continued with several upcoming deadlines related
to the already-noticed appeal and Siemens’ motion for fees and costs.
The
Company recognized $ 6.9 million as a legal settlement loss related to this litigation as of December 31, 2023. The Company recorded additional
expense of $ 1.1 million and $ 2.0 million within discontinued operations in the years ended December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024, respectively,
for attorneys’ fees, expenses, and pre-judgment interest related to this matter. The legal settlement liability associated with
this matter is included within accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of
December 28, 2025.
On
December 4, 2025, the Company entered into a global Settlement Agreement (“Settlement Agreement”) with Siemens to resolve
the case 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 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 (collectively,
the “Fundraise Provision”). 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.
LGCY
Power, LLC Matter
LGCY
Power, LLC (“LGCY”) markets and sells residential solar energy systems throughout the United States, and is a competitor
of the Company. In 2019, LGCY filed suit against Sunder and several individuals associated with Sunder. LGCY asserts claims of over $ 16.0
million against Sunder and its associated individuals. LGCY’s claims against Sunder and its associated individuals center on the
alleged misappropriation of LGCY’s confidential information, the alleged wrongful solicitation of LGCY’s customers and potential
customers, and the alleged wrongful solicitation of LGCY’s sales representatives. In addition, several of the Sunder associated
individuals have filed counterclaims against LGCY for declaratory relief, unjust enrichment, and breach of contract based on LGCY’s
failure to pay these individuals earned sales commissions following their resignations as LGCY sales managers. LGCY denies these
claims. The Company denies LGCY’s claims.
The
Company has assumed the defense of the case, including the costs of defense, following the Company’s acquisition of Sunder in September
2025. Under the terms of the Sunder MIPA, the Seller agreed to indemnify the Company in the event of damages (such as a settlement or
an adverse judgement) stemming from LGCY’s claims, separate and apart from their other indemnification obligations or limitations
in the Sunder MIPA. Discovery is complete and no trial date has been set. Both sides have filed various summary judgment motions, and
oral arguments for these motions are scheduled for July 2, 2026.
Based
upon information currently available, management is unable to determine the probability of an adverse outcome or to reasonably estimate
the amount or range of potential loss, if any. Accordingly, no provision for loss has been recorded in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements. While the ultimate resolution of these matters could have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations,
cash flows, or financial position, management believes that the resolution will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s
financial condition
Letters
of Credit
The Company had $ 1.1 million and $ 3.5 million
of outstanding letters of credit as of March 29, 2026 and December 28, 2025, respectively. The Company is required to maintain specified
amounts of cash as collateral in segregated accounts to support the letters of credit issued thereunder. As discussed in Note 2 –
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies , the cash collateral in these restricted cash accounts was $ 1.1 million and $ 3.8 million
at each of March 29, 2026 and December 28, 2025, respectively.
37
(12) Income
Taxes
The Company’s income tax expense for interim
periods is computed using an estimated annual effective tax rate applied to year-to-date ordinary income or loss, adjusted for the tax
effects of discrete items recognized in the period in which they occur.
The Company recognized an income tax benefit of $ 0.6 million and nil
in the thirteen week periods ended March 29, 2026, and March 30, 2025, respectively.
The Company’s effective tax rate was 10.4 %
and nil for the thirteen week periods ended March 29, 2026, and March 30, 2025, respectively. The effective tax rate for the thirteen
week period ended March 29, 2026 differs from the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0 % primarily because of permanent differences due to fair
value adjustments and the valuation allowance against most of the deferred tax assets. The effective tax rate for the thirteen week period
ended March 30, 2025 differs from the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0 % primarily because of permanent differences due to fair value adjustments,
share-based compensation related to stock options, non-deductible meals and entertainment, and state taxes.
As
a result of the Company’s history of net operating losses, the Company has provided a full valuation allowance against its deferred
tax assets. During the thirteen week period ended March 29, 2026, the Company recorded a $ 0.8 million decrease in its valuation allowance
primarily related to recognition of deferred tax liabilities in connection with the Cobalt acquisition.
As of the thirteen week periods ended March 29,
2026 and March 30, 2025, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized
tax benefits as a component of income tax expense.

Common Stock and Common Stock Warrants
The
Company has authorized the issuance of 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock as of March 29,
2026. No preferred stock has been issued and none are outstanding as of March 29, 2026.
Common
stock purchase agreement
On
July 16, 2024, the Company entered into a common stock purchase agreement with White Lion Capital, LLC (“White Lion”), as
amended on July 24, 2024 (“White Lion SPA”), and a related registration rights agreement for an equity line of credit financing
facility. Pursuant to the White Lion SPA, the Company has 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 the Company’s common stock, subject
to the caps and certain limitations and conditions set forth in the White Lion SPA, including terms that restrict the ability of the
Company to issue shares of common stock to White Lion that would result in White Lion beneficially owning more than 9.99 % of the Company’s
outstanding common stock.
On
August 14, 2024, the Company 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 the Company may notify White Lion to exercise the Company’s right
to sell shares of its common stock by delivering an Hour Rapid Purchase Notice. If the Company delivers an Hour Rapid Purchase Notice,
the Company shall deliver to White Lion shares of 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 the Company the Hour Rapid Purchase Investment Amount equal to the number of shares of common stock subject
to the applicable Hour Rapid Purchase Notice multiplied by the lowest traded price of the Company’s common stock during the one-hour
period following White Lion’s consent to the acceptance of the applicable Hour Rapid Purchase Notice.
On
January 11, 2026, the Company 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 the Company’s common stock equal to the Commitment
Amount (as defined below). Further, Amendment No. 3 increases, subject to approval by the Company’s stockholders, the commitment
amount under the Purchase Agreement to $ 55.0 million of shares of its common stock (the “Commitment Amount”), which the Company
may elect to sell to White Lion pursuant to the White Lion SPA, from time to time in the Company’s sole discretion, during the
Commitment Period.
38
In
addition, Amendment No. 3 adds an option for the Company 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 the Company to sell shares of its common
stock to White Lion based on the lowest traded price of the Company’s common stock during the three-hour valuation period following
White Lion’s written acceptance of a three hour purchase notice.
In
the thirteen week period ended March 29, 2026, the Company issued an aggregate of 4.6 million shares of the Company’s common stock
for total proceeds of $ 7.0 million. As of March 29, 2026, the Company has issued an aggregate of 11.5 million shares of the Company’s
common stock for total proceeds of $ 20.4 million.

Investor
Deposit by a Related Party
The
Company received a deposit of $ 5.0 million (“Purchase Amount”) from the Rodgers Revocable Trust on March 27, 2026. On April
8, 2026, the Company entered into a SAFE (“Fourth SAFE”) with the Rodgers Revocable Trust in exchange for the $ 5.0 million
received. The Fourth SAFE is automatically convertible into equity securities of the Company in an amount equal to the Purchase Amount
divided by the applicable price per share, unit or other increment of the equity securities issued by the Company in its next equity
financing transaction.
Amendment
to Seller Note
As
discussed in Note 9 – Borrowings and Derivative Liabilities, as an inducement to the Member’s agreement to the Amendment
of the Seller Note, the Amendment also provides that, within two business days following approval by the Company’s stockholders
of the issuance of shares under the Sunder MIPA in accordance with applicable Nasdaq rules, the Company will issue the remaining shares
of common stock otherwise issuable to the Member pursuant to the Sunder MIPA. On April 8, 2026, the Company issued the remaining shares
due under the Seller Note, 6.7 million shares of its common stock.
Subsequent
Convertible Senior Secured Notes Offering
Subsequent
to the quarter ended March 29, 2026, on April 21, 2026, the Company entered into note purchase agreements in connection with a private
offering of $ 41.0 million aggregate principal amount of 10.0 % Convertible Senior Secured Notes due 2029 (the “ 10 % Senior Secured
Notes”). The offering included (i) $ 25.0 million of 10.0 % Senior Secured Notes issued to institutional investors, (ii) $ 6.0 million
of 10 % Senior Secured Notes issued to an affiliate of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer in exchange for amounts previously
advanced under the Third SAFE and Fourth SAFE, and (iii) $ 10.0 million of 10.0 % Senior Secured Notes issued in connection with the exchange
of the Seller Note and execution of the A&R Seller Note.
The
10 % Senior Secured Notes mature on May 1, 2029 and bear interest at 10.00 % per annum, payable quarterly in arrears beginning July 1,
2026. The 10 % Senior Secured Notes are senior secured obligations of the Company and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by a wholly
owned subsidiary. The notes and guarantees are secured by first-priority liens on substantially all of the assets of the Company and
the guarantor, subject to permitted liens and specified exceptions.
The
10 % Senior Secured Notes are convertible at the option of the holders into shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion
price of approximately $ 1.64 per share ( 610.3143 shares of common stock per $ 1,000 principal amount of the 10 % Senior Secured Notes).
In addition, following certain corporate events that occur prior to the maturity date of the 10 % Senior Secured Notes, the Company will,
under certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate of the 10 % Senior Secured Notes for a holder who elects to convert its 10 %
Senior Secured Notes in connection with such a corporate event, subject to a maximum conversion rate of $ 1.13 per share ( 884.9557 shares
of the Company’s common stock per $ 1,000 principal amount of 10 % Senior Secured Notes). The 10 % Senior Secured Notes are not redeemable
by the Company and include customary covenants, events of default, and change-of-control repurchase provisions.
44
The
proceeds of the offering of the 10 % Senior Secured Notes were used to: (i) prepay $ 5.0 million principal amount of the March 2026 Bridge
Note; (ii) pay $ 4.75 million pursuant to the Company’s settlement agreement with Siemens (as amended, the “Siemens Settlement”);
(iii) pay $ 4.0 million to CPP in connection with the transactions under the CPP Note Purchase Agreement (as defined below); and (iv)
pay approximately $ 1.5 million of fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Offering. The net proceeds of the Offering, after
making the foregoing payments, were approximately $ 9.75 million. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering for working
capital and general corporate purposes, including the payoff of the remaining outstanding balance of the YA Debenture.
YA
Letter Agreement
On
April 21, 2026, in connection with the offering of the 10 % Senior Secured Notes, the Company and YA entered into a letter agreement (the
“YA Letter”). Pursuant to the YA Letter, the Company agreed to voluntary prepay $ 5.0 million of the outstanding principal
amount of March 2026 Bridge Note, resulting in a revised outstanding principal balance under the March 2026 Bridge Note of $ 5.0 million.
The Company further agreed to repay the remaining principal balance and accrued interest under the YA Debenture in four equal monthly
installments of $ 1.287 million, with the first payment due on May 5, 2026. Pursuant to the YA Letter, YA further consented to the issuance
of the 10 % Senior Secured Notes and the grant of the liens to secure the obligations under the 10 % Senior Secured Notes.
CPP
Note Purchase Agreement and A&R Seller Note
Also
on April 21, 2026, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with CPP (the “CPP Note Purchase Agreement”) that provides
for the following in exchange for the outstanding Seller Note (in addition to the issuance of $ 10.0 million principal amount of 10 % Senior
Secured Notes to CPP as summarized above): (i) the Company’s payment of $ 4.0 million in cash to CPP at the closing under the CPP
Note Purchase Agreement and (ii) delivery of the A&R Seller Note. The A&R Seller Note has a revised principal balance of $ 7.0
million and bears interest at 7.0 % per annum, compounded quarterly, increasing to 10.0 % per annum beginning May 15, 2026. The A&R
Seller Note is payable in four installments between October 2026 and January 2027, subject to extension if payment is restricted under
the 10 % Senior Secured Notes. The A&R Seller Note is unsecured and contains customary events of default and change-of-control provisions.
Amendment
to Siemens Settlement
On
April 9, 2026, Siemens and the Company amended the Settlement Agreement. Among other changes, the key terms of the amendment included
(i) SunPower’s commitment to pay $ 4.75 million of the $ 9.5 million settlement amount by the end of April 2026, (ii) changing the
threshold of the Fundraise Provision from $ 1.0 million to $ 5.0 million; (iii) putting Siemens’ first-priority continuing security
interest pari pasu with the similarly secured interests of the note holders of the 10 % Senior Secured Notes; and (iv) changing the acceleration
amount in the Fundraise Provision from an acceleration of one remaining quarter to an acceleration of both remaining quarters. The Company
made the $ 4.75 million April payment on April 23, 2026.
Exchange
of 7% Notes
Also on April 21, 2026, the Company entered into
privately negotiated exchange agreements with certain holders of its outstanding 7.0 % Notes due 2029. Pursuant to these agreements, $ 21.25
million principal amount of such notes was exchanged for an aggregate of 18.8 million shares of the Company’s common stock and approximately
$ 0.46 million of cash for accrued interest. The exchanges are expected to reduce outstanding indebtedness and future cash interest obligations,
but will increase the number of shares outstanding.
Conversion of September 2024 Notes
Subsequent to March 29, 2026 $ 1.0 million of the
September 2024 Notes were converted by holders into approximately 0.6 million shares of the Company’s common stock.
Delay
in Filing of Form 10Q as of and for the thirteen week period ended March 29, 2025
As a result of not filing the March 29, 2026 Form
10-Q within the timeframe by May 18, 2026 as required by the SEC, an event of default occurred under the Yorkville Notes, which results
in an increase in the applicable interest rate to 18 % (for so long as such event of default remains uncured). Upon filing this Form 10-Q
on May 19, 2026 , the event of default was cured.

ITEM
2. 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 unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our audited consolidated
financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
April 30, 2025, and related management’s discussion and analysis in Item 7 of the 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.
Please also see the section titled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”
Overview
SunPower
Inc. is a residential solar and energy services company headquartered in Orem, Utah. We operate a technology-enabled platform that supports
a national network of sales partners, dealers, and installation professionals to deliver solar energy systems, battery storage solutions,
and related services to homeowners and homebuilders throughout the United States.
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.
During
2025 and through the thirteen week period ended March 29, 2026 we significantly reshaped our business through a series of strategic acquisitions,
including the acquisition of Sunder Energy, LLC (“Sunder”), Ambia Energy LLC (“Ambia”) and Cobalt Power Systems,
Inc. (“Cobalt”). These acquisitions expanded our geographic footprint, dealer network, installation capacity, and national
sales presence. The operating results in the current quarter reflect the integration and ongoing operations of these acquired businesses.
As
further discussed below and in Note 16 – Segment Information to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements,
we have three reportable segments: Residential Solar Installation, New Homes Business and Dealer.
There
is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements are issued. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q have been prepared assuming our 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 our ability to continue as a going concern.
Recent
Developments
Acquisitions
We
continued the integration of recent acquisitions of Sunder and Ambia into our operating platform. In the thirteen week period ended March
29, 2026, we acquired Cobalt for $9.7 million. Cobalt focuses on large premium renewable energy systems across residential, new home,
multifamily and commercial projects and its operating results will be incorporated into the New Homes reportable segment.
Critical
accounting policies and estimates
See
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Estimates”
and our consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December
28, 2025 for accounting policies and related estimates we believe are the most critical to understanding our consolidated financial statements,
financial condition and results of operations and which require complex management judgment and assumptions, or involve uncertainties.
These critical accounting estimates are revenue recognition accounting and accounting for business combinations. There have been no changes
to our critical accounting estimates or their application since the date of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 28, 2025.

The
decrease in Residential Solar Installation was driven primarily by lower installation volumes, reflecting softer consumer demand due
to higher interest rates as a result of an increase in financing costs for residential solar. In addition, the phase out of certain residential
Investment Tax Credits (“ITCs”) passed in 2025 as part of the One Big Beautiful Bill in conjunction with fewer customers
qualifying for financing makes it harder for a homeowner to make the decision quickly. The decrease also reflects fewer system activations
as we continued to optimize our sales channels and focus on streamlining our operations to enhance its customer experience.
New
Homes Business revenues decreased primarily due to lower construction activity and selective solar integration volumes from homebuilder
partners, due to higher interest rates and higher labor costs thus driving the overall costs of the home to increase. While regulatory
requirements force investments in solar in certain regions and communities, the pace has slowed down due to affordability. In states
and communities where regulatory requirements for new builds will not impact the demand of solar installation, homebuilders are not abandoning
solar they are offering it as an option versus a spec home. Additionally, there was a backlog of jobs from the SunPower Businesses acquisition
in 2024, for certain large homebuilder projects that contributed meaningfully to the prior-year quarter which did not recur in the current
period as we are rebuilding our pipeline. We are also building this business which we acquired out of bankruptcy in 2024 as part of the
SunPower Businesses acquisition.
Dealer
revenues and costs in the thirteen week period ended March 29, 2026 are attributable to the acquisition of Sunder on September 24, 2025.

Residential
Solar Installation cost of revenues decreased primarily attributable to lower installation activity resulting from softer consumer demand.
Higher interest rates increased financing costs for homeowners, and the expiration of certain ITCs reduced the economic incentive to
adopt residential solar. As a result, installation volumes declined, leading to lower associated material, labor, and subcontractor costs.
New
Homes Business cost of revenues decreased primarily driven by reduced solar installation option due to the demands of keeping home prices
down demanded by home buyers. Homebuilders slowed construction primarily reducing optional features due to elevated mortgage rates, affordability
pressures on buyers, and the reduced benefit of ITCs for solar-equipped new homes.

Residential
Solar Installation sales commissions decreased slightly primarily due to lower residential installation volumes. Softer consumer demand
driven by higher interest rates increased financing costs and the expiration of certain ITCs resulted in fewer closed sales, which reduced
commissionable activity.
New
Homes Business sales commissions increased modestly due to changes in the mix of homebuilder programs and compensation structures, including
higher per-unit commission rates on certain projects. Timing of community launches and sales cycles also contributed to the year-over-year
variance.

Solar Installation sales and marketing expenses decreased reflecting reduced spending on lead generation, advertising, and promotional
programs as we scaled back customer-acquisition efforts in response to softer demand. Higher interest rates increased financing costs
for homeowners, and the expiration of certain ITCs reduced the economic incentive to adopt residential solar. As a result, we intentionally
moderated marketing investments to align with lower sales volumes. In addition, we acquired Sunder a sales force organization.
New
Homes Business sales and marketing expenses had no comparable expenses in the prior-year period as the Company does not make significant
investments in sales and marketing spend.

Residential
Solar Installation general and administrative expenses increased primarily due to higher employee-related expenses, including salaries,
benefits, and stock-based compensation, as we continued to invest in operational infrastructure and administrative support functions.
Additionally, higher insurance, facilities, and technology-related costs investments that focuses on scalability contributed to the period
over period increase.
New
Homes Business general and administrative expenses increased primarily due to higher personnel costs and expanded administrative support
for homebuilder programs, including project management, compliance, and operational oversight. We also incurred incremental technology,
systems, and shared-services costs allocated to the New Homes segment as part of broader organizational growth.
Dealer
general and administrative expenses primarily relate to personnel, facilities, and administrative overhead associated with integrating
and operating the Dealer business.
Interest

Interest
expense in the thirteen-weeks ended March 29, 2026, consisted principally of $4.5 million attributable to our September 2024 Notes and

Interest
expense in the thirteen-weeks ended March 30, 2025, consisted principally of $5.0 million of interest expense attributable to our September
2024 Notes and the remainder principally attributable to the July 2024 Notes.
Other
non-operating income, net
Other non-operating income, net in the thirteen weeks ended March 29,
2026, was $30.8 million. The main drivers consist of $26.6 million gain on the remeasurement of the fair value of derivative liabilities
associated with our 12% and 7% senior unsecured convertible notes and $5.2 million gain on the revaluation of deferred consideration,
partially offset by a $1.1 million change in the fair value of our forward purchase agreements.
Other
income net, for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2025, was $14.6 million. The main drivers of Other non-operating income, net were
$15.1 million of gains on the remeasurement of the fair value of derivative liabilities associated with our July 2024 Notes and September
2024 Notes, $0.3 million of income arising from the change in the fair value of our forward purchase agreements and $0.2 million of other
income, partially offset by $1.1 million of expense associated with the change in the fair value of our public, private placement and
working capital warrants which are accounted for as liabilities.
Net
income
As
a result of the factors discussed above, our net income for the thirteen-weeks ended March 29, 2026 was $5.25 million, a $0.4 million
increase in our net income as compared to net income of $4.8 million for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2025.
Liquidity
and capital resources
Overview
Our operating loss was $19.2 million in the thirteen week period ended
March 29, 2026. As of March 29, 2026, we had an accumulated deficit of $451.5 million, current debt of $38.0 million, and cash and cash
equivalents (excluding restricted cash) of $9.5 million which was held for working capital expenditures. We believe our operating losses
and negative operating cash flows will continue into the foreseeable future.

Material
changes to our liquidity and capital resources since December 28, 2025
Amendment
to White Lion Purchase Agreement
On
January 11, 2026, we and White Lion Capital, LLC (“White Lion”) entered into Amendment No. 3 (the “Amendment No. 3”)
to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, dated July 16, 2024, between the Company and White Lion, as previously amended by Amendment No.
1, effective July 24, 2024, and Amendment No. 2, effective August 14, 2024 (as amended, the “Purchase Agreement”). Amendment
No. 3 extends the commitment period under the Purchase Agreement (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 the Company’s stockholders, the commitment amount
under the Purchase Agreement to $55.0 million of shares of its common stock (the “Commitment Amount”), which the Company
may elect to sell to White Lion pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, from time to time in our sole discretion, during the Commitment Period.
Lastly, Amendment No. 3 adds an option for the Company 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.
Standby
Equity Purchase Agreement and $1.9 Million Note
On
January 27, 2026, we entered into a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (the “SEPA”) with YA II PN, LTD. (“YA”).
Under the SEPA, YA agreed to advance up to $20.0 million (the “Prepaid Advances”) to us in the form of convertible promissory
notes. (each, a “Promissory Note”), subject to the terms and conditions of the SEPA. As discussed below, we received an initial
Pre-Paid Advance of $1.9 million, and the Company’s rights to further Pre-Paid Advances terminated pursuant to the terms of the
SEPA. The Pre-Paid Advance under the Promissory Notes accrue interest at 0% per annum, increasing to 18% per annum upon the occurrence
of an event of default. The Pre-Paid Advance that we received was funded at a 10% original issue discount. In addition, the SEPA provides
us with the right, but not the obligation, to require YA to purchase up to $25.0 million (“Commitment Amount”) of our common
stock through January 27, 2029, subject to customary limitations and conditions, including trading volume and ownership limitations.
The
SEPA will automatically terminate on the earliest to occur of (i) January 27, 2029 or (ii) the date on which YA 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 YA, provided that there are no outstanding advance notices under which we have yet to issue shares of our common stock, there are
no amounts outstanding under any promissory notes, and provided that we have paid all amounts owed to YA pursuant to the SEPA. We and
YA may also agree to terminate the SEPA by mutual written consent.
We
view the SEPA as a flexible source of potential liquidity; however, the issuance of equity under the SEPA could result in dilution to
existing stockholders, and the availability of proceeds is subject to market conditions and compliance with the agreement’s terms.
In
connection with the execution of the SEPA, we paid YA a due diligence, structuring and commitment fee totaling $0.4 million which consisted
of $0.05 million cash and 175,000 shares of common stock.
On January 27, 2026 the first
Pre-Paid Advance was disbursed. The gross amount of the borrowing under the Pre-Paid Advance was $1.9 million, which was advanced under
a Promissory Note (“$1.9 Million Note”), for net proceeds received totaling $1.7 million after the contractual discount. The
$1.9 Million Note matures on January 27, 2027, subject to extension at YA’s option, and is convertible into shares of our common
stock.
March
2026 Bridge Note
On
March 6, 2026, we entered into a purchase agreement with YA pursuant to which we issued a convertible debenture in the principal amount
of $10.0 million (the “March 2026 Bridge Note”) for net proceeds of approximately $9.0 million, after fees.
The
March 2026 Bridge Note bears interest at 0% per annum, increasing to 18% per annum upon the occurrence of an event of default, and matures
on March 6, 2027, subject to extension at YA’s option. Beginning on May 6, 2026, we are required to make monthly installment payments
through September 6, 2026, each consisting of $2.0 million of principal, a payment premium of $0.06 million, and any accrued interest.
Each installment may be satisfied, at the Company’s option, in cash, through the issuance of shares pursuant to an advance notice
under the SEPA, or through a combination of both. The terms of the March 2026 Bridge Note were subsequently amended as summarized below.
51
The
March 2026 Bridge Note is convertible into shares of our common stock at the option of YA. Outstanding balances may be converted at an
adjusted fixed price of $1.64 per share, or, with respect to amounts due and unpaid on or after an installment date, at a variable price
based on a percentage of our stock’s recent trading prices, subject to a floor price. The March 2026 Bridge Note also permits us,
under certain conditions, to redeem amounts outstanding prior to maturity, which may require the payment of a premium depending on the
timing of such redemption.
At
any time after issuance, YA may convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal balance into shares of the Company’s common
stock at an adjusted fixed conversion price of $1.64 per share (the “Fixed Price”). In addition, any Installment Amount that
remains unpaid following an Installment Date may be converted at a price equal to 95% of the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”)
of the Company’s common stock during the five trading days immediately preceding the conversion date, subject to a minimum conversion
price equal to the then-applicable floor price.
The
Company may, at its option, redeem all or a portion of the outstanding balance of the March 2026 Bridge Note (an “Optional Redemption”)
upon written notice to YA, provided that the VWAP of the Company’s common stock at the time of such notice is less than the Fixed
Price. The redemption price equals (i) the principal amount redeemed, (ii) a premium of 3% of such principal amount, and (iii) any accrued
and unpaid interest; provided that the premium does not apply to Optional Redemptions completed on or prior to April 30, 2026.
Financing
transactions subsequent to March 29, 2026
Subsequent
to the quarter ended March 29, 2026, we completed several significant financing and capital restructuring transactions. On April 21,
2026, we completed a private offering (“Private Offering”) of $41.0 million aggregate principal amount of 10.0% Convertible
Senior Secured Notes due 2029 (the “10% Senior Secured Notes”). The Private Offering included (i) $25.0 million of notes
issued to institutional investors, (ii) $6.0 million of notes issued to an affiliate of our CEO in exchange for amounts previously advanced
under the Third SAFE and Fourth SAFE (refer to Note 8 – SAFE Agreement and Note 18 – Subsequent Events for
details of the SAFE Agreements) and (iii) $10.0 million of notes issued in connection with the exchange of the Seller Note (as described
below). Net proceeds from the Private Offering, after payment of transaction fees and expenses and the settlement of certain obligations,
were approximately $9.8 million.
We
used a portion of the gross proceeds from the offering to (i) prepay $5.0 million of the March 2026 Bridge Note, (ii) satisfy payment
obligations under an amended settlement agreement with Siemens totaling $4.75 million, (iii) make a $4.0 million cash payment to CPP
Note Purchase Agreement (as defined below); and (iv) pay approximately $1.5 million of fees and expenses incurred in connection with
the private offering. The remaining proceeds are expected to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes, including repayment
of the remaining balance under the March 2026 Bridge Note.
On
April 21, 2026, in connection with the Private Offering, we and YA entered into a letter agreement (the “YA Letter”). Pursuant
to the YA Letter, we agreed to voluntary prepay $5.0 million of the outstanding principal amount of March 2026 Bridge Note, resulting
in a revised outstanding principal balance under the March 2026 Bridge Note of $5.0 million. We further agreed to repay the remaining
principal balance and accrued interest under the March 2026 Bridge Note in four equal monthly installments of $1.287 million, with the
first payment due on May 5, 2026. Pursuant to the YA Letter, YA further consented to the issuance of the 10% Senior Secured Notes and
the grant of the liens to secure the obligations under the 10% Senior Secured Notes.
Also
on April 21, 2026, we entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with CPP (the “CPP Note Purchase Agreement”) that provides for
the following in exchange for the outstanding Seller Note (in addition to the issuance of $10.0 million principal amount of 10% Senior
Secured Notes to CPP as summarized above): (i) we made a $4.0 million payment in cash to CPP at the closing under the CPP Note Purchase
Agreement and (ii) amended and restated the outstanding Seller Note as further summarized below. In connection with the 10% Senior Secured
Notes offering, we amended and restated the Seller Note (“A&R Seller Note”). The A&R Seller Note has a revised principal
balance of $7.0 million and bears interest at 7.0% per annum, compounded quarterly, increasing to 10.0% per annum beginning May 15, 2026.
The A&R Seller Note is payable in four installments between October 2026 and January 2027, subject to extension if payment is restricted
under the 10% Senior Secured Notes. The A&R Seller Note is unsecured and contains customary events of default and change-of-control
provisions.
Additionally,
on April 21, 2026, we entered into privately negotiated exchange agreements with certain holders of our 7.0% Notes due 2029, pursuant
to which $21.25 million of the principal amount of such notes was exchanged for shares of our common stock and cash for accrued interest,
thereby reducing outstanding indebtedness and future cash interest obligations.
52
Liquidity
Outlook
We
continue to evaluate additional financing opportunities and capital management strategies to support our operating needs and strategic
objectives.
Our
primary sources of liquidity consist of existing cash balances, cash flows from operations, and access to capital under new and existing
financing arrangements. We expect that installment payments under the current obligations will require the use of available cash, equity
issuance, or a combination thereof. As a result, our liquidity and capital resources will continue to depend on operating performance,
capital market conditions, and our ability to access equity financing arrangements.

Cash
flows from operating activities
Net cash used in operating
activities was $25.6 million in the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2026. Net income of $4.1 million was offset by unfavorable non-cash
adjustments of $22.0 million and an $8.9 million net cash outflow of operating assets and liabilities. Unfavorable non-cash adjustments
consisted principally of a $26.6 million change in the fair value of derivative liabilities, $5.2 million unfavorable change in the fair
value of the deferred consideration $0.6 million deferred tax benefit, and $0.6 million change in the fair value of warrants, partially
offset by a $3.7 million of amortization of debt issuance costs, $3.6 million of depreciation and amortization, $1.6 million of stock-based
compensation expense, $1.1 million change in the fair value of forward purchase agreements, $0.5 million of non-cash lease expense and
net other adjustments of $0.5 million. Net cash outflows from changes in operating assets and liabilities principally consisted of a $12.9
million decrease in contract liabilities, $10.9 million increase in prepaid expenses and other assets and a $1.8 million decrease in accounts
payable, partially offset by a $9.7 million increase in accrued expenses and other current liabilities, $5.0 million decrease in accounts
receivable and a $2.0 million decrease in inventories.
Net
cash used in operating activities of $2.7 million in the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2025, was due to net income of $4.8 million offset
by $7.4 million of unfavorable noncash adjustments and $0.1 million of cash outflow from changes in operating assets and liabilities.
Non-cash adjustments consisted principally of $15.1 million arising from remeasurement of derivative liabilities, partially offset by
$3.7 million of amortization of debt issuance costs, $1.6 million of depreciation and amortization, $1.1 million provision for credit
losses, $1.1 million due to the change in the fair value of warrants classified as liabilities, and $0.5 million of stock-based compensation.
Cash outflows from changes in operating assets consisted principally of $11.3 million increase in contract assets, $4.4 million increase
in prepaid expenses and other current assets, a $5.2 million decrease in accrued expenses and other liabilities, and a $0.4 million decrease
in current operating lease liabilities almost entirely offset by an $11.4 million decrease in inventories, a $6.9 million increase in
accounts payable and a $3.1 million decrease in contract liabilities.
Cash
flows from investing activities
Net
cash inflow of $0.5 million from investing activities in the thirteen week period ended March 29, 2026 is attributable to the cash acquired
in the acquisition of Cobalt. Cobalt was acquired in exchange for shares of our common stock.
Net
cash used in investing activities was zero in the thirteen-weeks ended March 30, 2025.
53
Cash
flows from financing activities
Net
cash provided by financing activities from continuing operations was $22.2 million for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2026 and consisted
principally of $10.7 million in proceeds from the issuance of short-term debt, $1.3 million in proceeds from a related party in exchange
for the issuance of 12% senior unsecured convertible notes, $7.0 million of proceeds from the issuance of our common stock and a related
party investor deposit of $5.0 million partially offset by $1.1 million in principal payments on our 12% senior unsecured convertible
notes and $0.7 million of finance lease payments.
Net
cash used in financing activities was $0.2 million for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2025, and consisted of $0.5 million of payments
on our finance leases partially offset by $0.2 million in proceeds from the issuance of September 2024 Notes, and $0.1 million in proceeds
from the exercise of stock options and warrants in exchange for the issuance of shares of our common stock.
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 has 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. SunPower expects to continue
to take advantage of the benefits of the extended transition period, although it 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.

4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation
of disclosure controls and procedures
As
of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the
participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our
disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange
Act”). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 29, 2026,
such disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as a result of previously reported material weaknesses.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, there were no changes to previously issued financial statements. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
believe that the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly
present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as of and for the periods presented
in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
54
A
material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is
a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected
on a timely basis. The material weaknesses are as follows:
The
Company did not maintain controls to execute the criteria established in the COSO Framework for (i) the control environment, (ii) risk
assessment, (iii) control activities, (iv) information and communication, and (v) monitoring activities.
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 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).
Remediation
Plan and Status
Our
Company is committed to remediating the material weaknesses identified above, fostering continuous improvement in internal controls and
enhancing the effectiveness of our overall internal control environment. Since identifying the above material weaknesses, we have begun
the process of implementing the remediation activities described below. We believe that these activities, when fully implemented, should
remediate the identified material weaknesses and strengthen our internal control over financial reporting. These remediation efforts
remain ongoing, and additional remediation initiatives may be necessary.
55
A
material weakness cannot be considered completely remediated until the applicable controls have operated for a sufficient period of time
such that management can conclude, through testing, that the controls are operating effectively. If not remediated, material weaknesses
or control deficiencies could result in material misstatements.
Accordingly,
as management continues to monitor the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, we will continue to perform additional
procedures prescribed by management, including the use of certain manual mitigating control procedures and the employment of additional
tools and resources deemed necessary, to ensure that our future consolidated financial statements are fairly stated in all material respects.
The following planned remediation activities highlight our commitment to remediating the identified material weaknesses:
●
Hire
finance and accounting professionals with the appropriate level of experience and training necessary to develop, maintain and improve
our accounting policies, procedures and internal controls, utilize third-party consultants and internal audit professionals to enhance
the control environment, and continue to hire other qualified finance and accounting professionals.
●
Provide,
and continue to provide, training for employees regarding their responsibilities related to the performance or oversight of internal
controls.
●
Reinforce
the importance of communication between the operations, accounting, and legal departments regarding key terms of, and changes or
modifications to, customer, debt, equity, legal and other contracts by establishing controls requiring finance department approval
of certain non-standard terms and agreements.
●
Begin
the implementation of a process to reevaluate, revise and improve our Sarbanes-Oxley compliance program, including governance, risk
assessment, testing methodologies and corrective action. We plan to enhance our risk assessment procedures and conduct a comprehensive
risk assessment.
●
Develop,
and continue to develop, internal control documentation over financial processes and related disclosures. We plan to continue to
design and implement control activities to mitigate risks identified and test the operating effectiveness of such controls.
If
we are not able to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting and Disclosure Controls, 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 our annual and quarterly reports under the Exchange Act, restatements of financial statements or other corrective disclosures,
an inability to access commercial lending markets, defaults under our credit agreements and other agreements, or other material adverse
effects on our business, reputation, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
Limitations
on effectiveness of controls and procedures
We
do not expect that our Disclosure Controls will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure Controls, no matter how well
conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the Disclosure Controls are met.
Further, the design of Disclosure Controls must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered
relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all Disclosure Controls, no evaluation of Disclosure Controls can provide
absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of Disclosure Controls
also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will
succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Changes in internal control over financial
reporting
Other than the material
weaknesses and remediation efforts described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the
first quarter that have materially affected, would have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal
control over financial reporting.

ITEM
1A. RISK FACTORS
We
are subject to a number of risks that if realized could adversely affect our business, strategies, prospects, financial condition, results
of operations and cash flows. As a result of the Private Placement, we are subject to the additional risks and uncertainties summarized
below. In addition to the risk factors set forth below and the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you
should carefully consider the risk factors set forth in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on
April 14, 2026. Please carefully consider all of the information in this Quarterly Report and our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on
April 14, 2026, and the disclosures in this Quarterly Report included in Note 1 – Organization – Liquidity and going
concern – of the notes to the financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report and “Management’s Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and capital resources” section of this Quarterly
Report) and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission before making an investment decision regarding us.
Our 10.0% Notes are
secured obligations, and there are risks associated with our 10.0% Notes that could adversely affect our business and financial condition.*
On April 21, 2026, the Company
entered into note purchase agreements in connection with a private offering of $41.0 million aggregate principal amount of 10.0% Notes.
The indenture for the 10.0% Notes (the “Indenture”) includes customary covenants and sets forth certain events of default
after which the 10.0% Notes may be declared immediately due and payable and sets forth certain types of bankruptcy or insolvency events
of default involving the Company after which the Notes become automatically due and payable, which include the following:
●
certain payment defaults on the 10.0% Notes (which, in the case of a default in the payment of interest on the Notes, will be subject to a 30-day cure period);
●
failure by the Company to comply with its obligation to convert the 10.0% Notes in accordance with the Indenture upon exercise of a holder’s conversion right;
●
the Company’s failure to send certain notices under the Indenture within specified periods of time;
●
the Company’s failure to comply with certain covenants in the Indenture relating to the Company’s ability to consolidate with or merge with or into, or sell, lease or otherwise transfer, in one transaction or a series of transactions, all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to another person;
●
a default by the Company in its other obligations or agreements under the Indenture or the Notes if such default is not cured or waived within 60 days after notice is given in accordance with the Indenture;
●
certain defaults by the Company or any of its significant subsidiaries with respect to (y) the liens securing the Company’s payment obligations under Siemens Settlement, or (z) indebtedness for borrowed money of at least $10.0 million;
●
certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company or any of the Company’s significant subsidiaries;
●
a final judgment or judgments for the payment of $10.0 million (or its foreign currency equivalent) or more (excluding any amounts covered by insurance) in the aggregate rendered against the Company or any significant subsidiary, which judgment is not discharged, bonded, paid, waived or stayed within 60 days after (i) the date on which the right to appeal thereof has expired if no such appeal has commenced, or (ii) the date on which all rights to appeal have been extinguished;
57
●
any security interest and liens purported to be created by any collateral document, including the Security Agreement (as defined below), shall cease to be in full force and effect or shall cease to give the collateral agent, for the benefit of the holders of the 10.0% Notes, the liens, rights, powers and privileges purported to be created and granted under such collateral documents, subject to certain exceptions; and
●
a guarantee with respect to the 10.0% Notes ceases to be in full force and effect or the Company or any guarantor denies or disaffirms its obligations under the Indenture or any guarantee with respect to the 10.0% Notes.
If certain bankruptcy and
insolvency-related events of default occur with respect to the Company, the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on,
all of the 10.0% Notes then outstanding shall automatically become due and payable.
Our ability to remain in
compliance with the covenants under the 10.0% Notes depends on, among other things, our operating performance, competitive developments,
financial market conditions and stock exchange listing of our common stock, all of which are significantly affected by financial, business,
economic and other factors. We are not able to control many of these factors. Accordingly, our cash flow may not be sufficient to allow
us to make required payments under the 10.0% Notes or meet our other obligations thereunder.
If we are not able to satisfy
our obligations under the 10.0% Notes, including compliance with the affirmative, negative and financial covenants applicable to the Company,
or if there are events of defaults under the 10% Senior Secured Notes, the holders will have the right to foreclose on their first priority
security interest relating to substantially all of our assets to the exclusion of our general unsecured creditors. If the holders of the
10% Senior Secured Notes pursue foreclosure, any such foreclosure would have a material and adverse impact on our business.
