Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
As previously disclosed, on August 5, 2024, Complete Solaria, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”, “we” and “us”), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “APA”) among the Company, SunPower Corporation (“SunPower”) and the direct and indirect subsidiaries of SunPower (the “Debtors”) providing for the sale and purchase of certain assets relating to the Debtor’s Blue Raven Solar business and certain assets relating to the new homes business and non-installing dealer network previously operated by the Debtors (the “Acquired Assets”).
In connection with the closing of the transactions under the APA, on September 30, 2024, the Company, SunPower and the other Debtors entered into a Transition Services Agreement (the “TSA”) pursuant to which SunPower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to perform specified forward transition services relating to the Acquired Assets for the period set forth in the TSA. Additionally, during such transition services period, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to perform specified reverse transition services to SunPower.
As consideration for the forward transition services provided by SunPower and the other Debtors, the Company will pay (a) specified license renewal and transfer fees, software license costs, employee costs, costs associated with insurance coverage, costs associated with banking services, certain facility costs, and certain other costs specified in the TSA, plus (b) all actual or necessary costs and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by SunPower in connection with the provision of the transition services, including for time spent by SunPower personnel and contractors in performing the forward transition services, plus (c) any additional license fees, consent costs, temporary right-of-use fees, royalties, or other amounts payable to any third party that may be necessary for SunPower and the other Debtors to provide the forward transition services. The Company will not receive any fees or remuneration for the reverse transition services provided by the Company to SunPower and the other Debtors.
The foregoing description of the TSA does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the TSA, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
As previously disclosed, on August 5, 2024, the Company entered into the APA with SunPower and the other Debtors providing for the sale and purchase of the Acquired Assets. Under the APA, the Company agreed, subject to the terms and conditions of the APA, to acquire the Acquired Assets and assume the Assumed Liabilities (each as defined in the APA) from the Debtors for $45,000,000 in cash at the closing of the transaction, including a deposit of $4,500,000 that was previously paid into an escrow account by the Company.
At a hearing held on September 23, 2024, the United States Court for the District of Delaware approved the sale of the Acquired Assets and the transactions under the APA. The sale of the Acquired Assets and other transactions under the APA closed on September 30, 2024.
As previously disclosed, the Company issued and sold 7.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029 (the “Notes”), the proceeds of which are to be used to pay the purchase price payable under the APA and for general corporate purposes, including but not limited to working capital. Thurman J. Rodgers, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company, purchased $8,000,000 of the Notes. The remaining $72,000,000 of the Notes issued or issuable by the Company were purchased or are issuable to investment funds and high net worth individuals who do not have material relationships with the Company.
