Material Agreement Form 8 K

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On July 1, 2024, Complete Solaria, Inc. (the "Company") entered into an Exchange Agreement (the "Exchange Agreement") with CRSEF Solis Holdings, L.L.C. ("Carlyle"), Kline Hill Partners Fund LP, Kline Hill Partners IV SPV LLC, and Kline Hill Partners Opportunity IV SPV LLC (together "Kline Hill") providing for:

the cancellation of all indebtedness owed to Carlyle by the Company, termination of all debt instruments by and between the Company and Carlyle (through the transfer of Carlyle's interest in CS Solis, LLC, to the Company), and the satisfaction of all obligations owed to Carlyle by the Company under the terminated debt instruments;
the issuance of a convertible note in the original principal amount of $10,000,000 to Carlyle;
the cancellation of all indebtedness owed to Kline Hill by the Company, termination of all debt instruments by and between the Company and Kline Hill, and the satisfaction of all obligations owed to Kline Hill by the Company under the terminated debt instruments;
the issuance of convertible notes in the aggregate original principal amount of $7,972,731 to Kline Hill; and
the issuance of 1,500,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the "Common Stock") to Kline Hill (the "Shares");

In addition, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement and issued a convertible note to Thurman "T.J." Rodgers, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, in the original principal amount of $18,000,000. The Company also entered into a note purchase agreement and issued a convertible note to a strategic investor in the original principal amount of $6,000,000. The strategic investor is obligated to purchase an additional convertible note in the original principal amount of $4,000,000 prior to July 12, 2024.

The convertible notes bear a 12% interest rate. The convertible notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company and will mature on July 1, 2029, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. Interest on the convertible notes will accrue at a rate of 12.00% per year from July 1, 2024 and will be payable semiannually in arrears on January 1 and July 1 of each year, beginning on July 1, 2025. The convertible notes are convertible at the option of the holders at any time prior to the payment of the payment of the principal amount of such convertible note in full. Upon conversion of any convertible note, the Company will satisfy its conversion obligation by delivering shares of Common Stock and paying cash in respect of any fractional shares.

The conversion rate for the convertible notes is initially equal to 595.2381 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount due under the convertible notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $1.68 per share of Common Stock and represents a premium of approximately 50.0% above the last reported sale price of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq Global Market on June 28, 2024. The conversion rate shall be subject to adjustment from time to time pursuant to the terms of the convertible notes. In addition, following certain corporate events that occur prior to the maturity date of the convertible notes or if the Company delivers a notice of redemption in respect of a convertible note, the Company will, under certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate of a convertible note for a holder who elects to convert its convertible note in connection with such a corporate event or convert its convertible note called for redemption in connection with such notice of redemption, as the case may be.

The Company may not redeem the convertible notes prior to July 5, 2026. The Company may redeem for cash all (but not less than all) of a convertible note, at its option, (i) on or after July 5, 2026 and prior to July 1, 2027, if the last reported sale price of the Common Stock has been at least 150% of the conversion price for the convertible note then in effect and (ii) on or after July 5, 2027 and prior to the maturity date for the convertible note if the last reported sale price of the Common Stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price for the convertible note then in effect, in each case of (i) and (ii), for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the convertible note to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. No sinking fund is provided for the convertible notes.
