United States

Court Approves Complete Solar Purchase of SunPower Assets

LEHI, Utah, Sept. 24, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Complete Solar Holdings, Inc. d/b/a Complete Solar (“Complete Solar” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: CSLR), a solar technology, services, and installation company, today announced that the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware has approved the going concern sale of substantially all assets of the Blue Raven, New Homes and Dealer businesses of SunPower Corporation and certain of its affiliates to Complete Solar for $45 million in cash. The sale is expected to close on or before Monday, September 30, 2024, at which time SunPower businesses, the SunPower brand, and about 1,000 employees will become part of Complete Solar, the temporary name of SunPower during this transition.

T.J. Rodgers, Complete Solar’s CEO, commented “This is a pivotal moment in the history of SunPower, one of the most storied US solar companies. The dark cloud currently hanging over the US solar industry will not bring SunPower’s demise. And when that cloud recedes – as it must, since only 3.7% of American homes have solar power in an age when solar energy has literally become cheaper than fossil fuel energy – the New SunPower will re-emerge as a lean and competitive American-owned company with a national footprint.

Rodgers continued, “I would like to thank the US Bankruptcy Court for recognizing Complete Solar’s good faith offer to acquire the SunPower businesses, despite the ludicrous financial claims made in court by Maxeon, a Singapore company whose stock has been driven down to $0.078 per share as of yesterday due to the dilution engineered by its dominant Chinese investor, the TCL Corporation, which now controls the old SunPower manufacturing organization and would like nothing more than to use the SunPower brand to enter the US market.

Rodgers concluded, “Finally I would like to thank our investors, who recently added another $40 million to the offering we announced on September 9th, to bring the total proceeds to $80 million. We do not anticipate needing any more cash during this transition. The key presentation material used to raise that funding is now available on our website.”
