Introductory Note


On May 17, 2023, TotalEnergies Solar INTL SAS (the “Selling Shareholder”), entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Maxeon Solar Technologies, Ltd. (“Maxeon” or the "Company") and BofA Securities, Inc. and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, as representatives (the “Representatives”) of the several underwriters (collectively, the “Underwriters”), pursuant to which the Selling Shareholder agreed to sell 2,993,500 Ordinary Shares of Maxeon (the “Offering”) to the Representatives, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) entered into among Maxeon, the Selling Shareholder and the Underwriters. The Offering, including the full exercise of the Underwriters’ option to purchase additional Ordinary Shares, was consummated on May 19, 2023.

Following the completion of the Offering and based on the information contained in a Schedule 13D/A filed with the SEC on May 19, 2023 by TotalEnergies SE, TotalEnergies Gaz & Electricité Holdings SAS and the Selling Shareholder (collectively, “TotalEnergies”), TotalEnergies has shared voting power over 8,000,931 Ordinary shares of Maxeon which represents a 15.2%1 percentage ownership interest in Maxeon.

Pursuant to Section 2(d) of the Shareholders Agreement dated August 26, 2020 (the “Shareholders Agreement”), TotalEnergies’ right to designate three directors to the Board of Maxeon has been reduced down to two directors. In light of this, on June 1, 2023, Erick Chabanne resigned from the Board of Directors of Maxeon (the “Board”) as a designee of TotalEnergies.

In accordance with terms of Shareholders Agreement, this vacancy will be filled with an individual who would qualify as an independent director and a search for the successor is in process. Additionally, on June 7, 2023, the Board appointed Gavin Adda to the Compensation Committee of the Board, filling the vacancy created by Mr. Chabanne’s resignation.
