PART III - NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-CEN, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

SunPower Corporation (the “Company”) has determined that it is unable, without unreasonable effort or expense, to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2024 (the “Q2 2024 10-Q”) by the prescribed due date for the reasons further described below.

As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 23, 2024, the Company had identified certain misstatements in connection with the preparation of its financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. The Company determined the following financial statements were affected: (i) the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the period ended January 1, 2023 (the “Form 10-K/A”), and (ii) the unaudited financial statements included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the quarterly period ended April 2, 2023, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the quarterly period ended July 2, 2023, and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended October 1, 2023, each filed with the SEC on December 18, 2023 (collectively, and together with the Form 10-K/A, the “Affected Prior Period Financial Statements”). Further, as previously disclosed, the Company’s management concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting were not effective as of January 1, 2023, April 2, 2023, July 2, 2023, and October 1, 2023, due to material weaknesses that existed in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Additionally, as previously disclosed, in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 3, 2024, the Company was notified on June 27, 2024, by its independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP (“EY”), of its decision to resign as independent registered public accounting firm of the Company, effective as of the date of notification (the “Auditor Resignation”). EY resigned prior to the completion of the audits for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 and the restatement of the fiscal years included in the Form 10-K/A, thereby impacting the Company’s ability to finalize its Affected Prior Period Financial Statements, 2023 Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2024 (the “Q1 2024 10-Q”) and Q2 2024 10-Q.

Finally, as previously disclosed, on August 5, 2024, the Company and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”), thereby commencing Chapter 11 cases (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) jointly administered under the caption “In re SunPower Corporation, et al., Case No. 24-11649”, which such Chapter 11 Cases are diverting considerable time and resources of the Company’s management.

As a result of the foregoing, the Company is unable, without unreasonable effort or expense, to file the Q2 2024 Form 10-Q by the prescribed due date.
