On March 12, 2022, Franck Trochet notified SunPower Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), of his intent to resign as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) effective March 31, 2022, pursuant to Amendment No. 6 to the Affiliation Agreement (the “Amendment”), dated as of October 29, 2021, by and among the Company, TotalEnergies Solar INTL SAS (“TotalEnergies Solar”), and TotalEnergies Gaz & Electricité Holdings SAS (“TotalEnergies Gaz”). The Amendment provided for the extension of certain temporary adjustments to the composition of the Board previously effected via Amendment No. 5 to the Affiliation Agreement, including (i) maintaining the size of the Board at 11 directors through March 31, 2022; and (ii) providing that, on March 31, 2022, (A) one of the Disinterested Directors (as such term is defined in the Affiliation Agreement, dated April 28, 2011, as amended, by and among the Company, TotalEnergies Solar, and TotalEnergies Gaz (the “Affiliation Agreement”)), in consultation with the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board, shall resign from his or her position on the Board, (B) TotalEnergies Solar shall as promptly as practicable cause one of its designated members to resign from the Board, and (C) the Board shall take all necessary action to reduce the size of the Board to nine directors. In keeping with the Amendment, Mr. Trochet, as the TotalEnergies Solar designee, is resigning from the Board, and Patrick Wood III previously notified the Board of his intent to resign as one of the Disinterested Directors (as such term is defined in the Affiliation Agreement) of the Board effective March 31, 2022, as reported in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 26, 2022.
