Material Agreement Form 8 K

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On September 22, 2024, Complete Solaria, Inc. (the "Company") entered into Note Purchase Agreements (the "Note Purchase Agreements") with various purchasers relating to the private offering of the Company's 7.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029 in an additional aggregate principal amount of $32,300,000 (the "Notes). The Notes were issued on September 24, 2024 pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreements and the Indenture, dated September 16, 2024, between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the "Indenture"). The proceeds of the Notes will be used to pay the cash consideration payable by the Company under the Asset Purchase Agreement, dated August 5, 2024, among SunPower Corporation and its subsidiaries named therein, as sellers, and the Company, as buyer (the "Asset Purchase Agreement"), and/or for general corporate purposes, including but not limited to working capital.

In accordance with the Note Purchase Agreements, the Company has agreed to solicit stockholder approval to issue shares of the Company's common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), upon conversion of the Notes in excess of the limitations otherwise applicable under the Indenture as a result of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d)(2) and, if such stockholder approval is obtained, to take certain actions to seek approval to amend the Indenture to enable the earlier conversion of the Notes. Additionally, the Company has agreed to register for resale the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Note Purchase Agreements.

The foregoing summary of the Note Purchase Agreements is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Note Purchase Agreement attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and such Exhibit 10.1 is incorporated herein by reference.

The Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company and will mature on July 1, 2029, unless earlier converted, redeemed, or repurchased. Interest on the Notes accrues at a rate of 7.00% per year from September 16, 2024 and will be payable semiannually in arrears on January 1 and July 1 of each year, beginning on January 1, 2025. On or after September 16, 2025, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders of the Notes may convert all or any portion of their 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 conversion rate for the Notes is initially 467.8363 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes. The conversion rate for the Notes is subject to adjustment from time to time in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. In addition, upon a conversion of the Notes after September 16, 2025, following certain corporate events that occur prior to the maturity date of the Notes or if the Company delivers a notice of redemption in respect of the Notes, the Company will, under certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate of the Notes for a holder who elects to convert its 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 Notes.

If the Company does not consummate the transactions under the Asset Purchase Agreement on or before the outside date specified in the Asset Purchase Agreement (the "APA Outside Date"), and the Asset Purchase Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, the Company shall deliver notice of same to the trustee and the escrow agent for the proceeds of the Notes and the Note holders within two business days following the APA Outside Date. During the 30-day period following delivery of such notice, each Note holder shall have the right, at such holder's option, to require the Company to repurchase for cash all (and not less than all) of such holder's Notes for an amount equal to the greater of (i) 100.50% of the aggregate principal amount of all of the Notes held by such holder and (ii) 100.50% of an amount equal to (a) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes based on the then-applicable conversion rate, multiplied by (b) the daily volume-weighted average price of the Common Stock for the five trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the applicable date of determination, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes.

The Company may not redeem the Notes prior to September 16, 2026. The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the Notes, at its option, subject to the conditions and requirements of the Indenture, (i) on or after September 16, 2026 and prior to July 1, 2029, if the last reported sale price of the Common Stock has been at least 150% of the conversion price for the Notes then in effect for at least 20 trading days 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 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. No sinking fund is provided for the Notes.

If the Company undergoes a fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture), then, subject to certain conditions and except as described in the Indenture, holders may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their Notes at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.
