OREM, Utah, April 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SunPower Inc. ("SunPower," the "Company," or Nasdaq: "SPWR") a solar technology, services, and installation company, announced it has raised $41.0 million in Convertible Senior Secured Notes (the "convertible debenture").

We have signed contracts with investors for $41 million of convertible debentures, which will close this week. The terms include: 1) non-callable until maturity on May 1, 2029, 2) a 10% coupon, and 3) a 45% conversion premium to market closing price ($1.13), which leads to 25,022,887 shares issuable at the conversion price of $1.6385. The proceeds will be used for working cash and to directly pay off $18.75 million in debt. In addition, other investors have agreed to exchange their 7.0% notes for stock, which amounts to another $21.25 million of cancelled debt. Finally, the former owners of Sunder converted $10 million of their M&A debt into the new convertible debenture, bringing the total debt reduction to $40 million.

Rodgers concluded, "I continue to believe in the startup-like potential of this company, and, as with each prior SunPower fund raise, I invested $6 million personally into this deal. Sunder's management team, which now runs four SunPower sales groups, also invested $10 million by cancelling a portion of our acquisition debt with them.

I would like to express my deepest appreciation to our investors for their continued support."

The convertible debentures to be sold in the offering were only offered to persons reasonably believed to either be qualified institutional buyers or accredited investors under the Securities Act. The convertible debentures, any shares of SunPower's common stock potentially issuable upon conversion of the convertible debentures, and the exchange shares have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act, any state securities laws or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction, and unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and other applicable securities laws.

This press release is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any of these securities nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification thereof under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
