(1)	Includes 33,402,112 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”) of SunPower Corp. (the “Issuer”) issuable upon the exercise of the Second Tranche Warrant (as described in this filing) and 41,612,944 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock issued upon the net exercise of the First Tranche Warrant (as described in this filing). The First Tranche Warrant exercise price was paid on a cashless basis pursuant to the terms of the warrant on March 5, 2024 and May 1, 2024, resulting in the Issuer withholding an aggregate of 139,696 shares of Common Stock to pay the exercise price and issuing an aggregate of 41,612,944 shares of Common Stock.
(2)	The shares of Common Stock reported herein are held directly by Sol Holding, LLC. GIP III Sol Acquisition, LLC is one of two members of Sol Holding, LLC, a limited liability company managed by a board of managers. The sole member of GIP III Sol Acquisition, LLC is GIP III Sol Holdings, L.P. The general partner of GIP III Sol Holdings, L.P. is Global Infrastructure GP III, L.P. The General Partner of Global Infrastructure GP III, L.P. is Global Infrastructure Investors III, LLC. As a result, each of the foregoing entities may be deemed to beneficially own the shares of Common Stock reported herein.
(3)	Percentage calculated based on (i) 175,361,088 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of December 15, 2023 as reported by the Issuer in its quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 18, 2023 plus (ii) 41,612,944 shares of Common Stock issued to the Reporting Person upon the cashless exercise of the First Tranche Warrant and (iii) 33,402,112 shares of Common Stock underlying the Second Tranche Warrant. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person or entity and the percentage ownership of that person or entity, all shares subject to warrants held by such person or entity were deemed outstanding if such warrants are currently exercisable or will become exercisable within 60 days of the date of this filing. These shares were not deemed outstanding, however, for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person or entity.

 

 

Explanatory Note

 

This Amendment No. 3 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D filed on September 9, 2022, as amended on September 15, 2022 and February 14, 2024 (the “Filing”), by the Reporting Persons relating to the shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”) of SunPower Corporation (the “Issuer”). Information reported in the Filing remains in effect except to the extent that it is amended, restated or superseded by information contained in this Amendment. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment have the respective meanings set forth in the Filing.

 

The information set forth in response to each separate Item below shall be deemed to be a response to all Items where such information is relevant. Information with respect to each Reporting Person is given solely by such Reporting Person and no Reporting Person assumes responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the information furnished by another Reporting Person, except as otherwise provided in Rule 13d-1(k).

 

Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

 

Item 3 of the Filing is amended and supplemented as follows:

 

Second Lien Credit Facility

 

As previously disclosed, on February 14, 2024, the Company entered into the Second Lien Credit Agreement, by and among the Company, certain of its subsidiaries as guarantors party thereto, the lenders party thereto, GLAS USA LLC, as Administrative Agent, and GLAS Americas, LLC, as Collateral Agent (the “Second Lien Credit Agreement”). Capitalized terms used but not defined in this section shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Second Lien Credit Agreement.

 

The Second Lien Credit Agreement provides for an approximately $175.5 million term loan facility comprised of: (i) an approximately $125.5 million tranche of second lien term loans (“Tranche 1 Second Lien Loans”), which was borrowed on the closing date of the Second Lien Credit Agreement; and (ii) a second tranche of $50 million of second lien term loans (“Tranche 2 Second Lien Loans”).

 

On May 30, 2024, the Company borrowed $50 million of Tranche 2 Second Lien Loans, which consisted of all Tranche 2 Term Loan Commitments.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Tranche 2 Second Lien Loans and the terms of the Second Lien Credit Agreement do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by, reference to the Second Lien Credit Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 3 to this Filing as part of Amendment No. 2 dated February 14, 2024.

 

 

Warrants

 

As previously disclosed, in connection with the Second Lien Credit Agreement, the Issuer agreed to issue to Sol Holding warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock in two tranches: (i) the first tranche (“First Tranche Warrant”) consisting of a warrant exercisable for 41,752,640 shares of Common Stock and (ii) the second tranche (“Second Tranche Warrant”) consisting of an additional warrant exercisable for 33,402,112 shares of Common Stock. As previously disclosed, on February 14, 2024, concurrent with the issuance of the Tranche 1 Loans, the Issuer issued the First Tranche Warrant to Sol Holding. On March 5, 2024, Sol Holding elected to exercise the portion of the First Tranche Warrant representing 35,077,905 of the 41,752,640 shares of Common Stock underlying the First Tranche Warrant, and paid the exercise price on a cashless basis pursuant to the terms of the First Tranche Warrant, resulting in the Issuer withholding 107,907 shares of Common Stock to pay the exercise price and issuing to Sol Holding an aggregate of 34,969,998 shares of Common Stock. On May 1, 2024, Sol Holding elected to exercise the remaining 6,674,735 shares of Common Stock underlying the First Tranche Warrant, and paid the exercise price on a cashless basis pursuant to the terms of the First Tranche Warrant, resulting in the Issuer withholding 31,789 shares of Common Stock to pay the exercise price and issuing to Sol Holding an aggregate of 6,642,946 shares of Common Stock. The total number of shares of Common Stock issued to Sol Holding upon the exercises of the First Tranche Warrants was 41,612,944 shares of Common Stock.

 

On May 30, 2024, concurrently with the issuance of the Tranche 2 Loans, the Issuer issued the Second Tranche Warrant to Sol Holding.

 

The Second Tranche Warrant is exercisable in whole or in part for shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share and expires on the tenth anniversary of issuance. Sol Holding may pay the exercise price in cash or elect to exercise the Second Tranche Warrant on a “cashless” basis. Pursuant to the terms of the Second Tranche Warrant, the number of shares for which the Second Tranche Warrant is exercisable and the exercise price for such shares may be adjusted in the event of certain dilutive issuances pursuant to an anti-dilution formula set forth in the Second Tranche Warrant, and for stock splits, reclassifications, share combinations, dividends or distributions made by the Issuer on the Common Stock. Further, in connection with an Event of Default (as defined in the Second Lien Credit Agreement), the Issuer may be required, at the election of the warrantholder, to either (a) purchase the Second Tranche Warrant for a cash amount equal to the Black-Scholes Value (as defined in the Second Tranche Warrant) of the unexercised portion of the Second Tranche Warrant or (b) permit the exercise of the Second Tranche Warrant pursuant to a cashless default exercise for a number of shares of Common Stock with a value equal to the Black-Scholes Value of the unexercised portion of the Second Tranche Warrant.

 

The foregoing description of the Second Tranche Warrant does not purport to be complete and is qualified by the full text of the Warrant to Purchase, which is filed as Exhibit 4 to this Filing.

Item 4 of the Filing is amended and supplemented as follows:

Item 5 of the Filing is amended and restated in its entirety as follows.

 

The information set forth in the facing pages of this Schedule 13D with respect to the shared beneficial ownership of Common Stock by the Reporting Persons is incorporated by reference into this Item 5.

 

The information set forth in Items 2, 3 and 4 is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 5.

 

(a)-(b) The number and percentage of shares of Common Stock to which this Filing relates is 162,970,512, constituting 65.1% of the Common Stock outstanding. The percentage of beneficial ownership in this Filing is calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and is based on an aggregate of 175,361,088 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of December 15, 2023 as reported by the Issuer in its quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on December 18, 2023, adjusted to reflect the 41,612,944 shares of Common Stock issued to Sol Holding upon the cashless exercise of the First Tranche Warrant.
