• New Chief Financial Officer Appointed

  Tom Kowalczuk has been appointed as the new Chief Financial Officer and Principal Financial Officer, effective June 30, 2026. This fills a critical vacancy following the previous CFO's resignation on May 12, 2026, and comes as the company faces significant financial challenges.

• Significant RSU Grant to New CFO

  Mr. Kowalczuk will receive 1,000,000 restricted stock units (RSUs) as an employment inducement award, with 20% vesting after 12 months and the remainder vesting ratably over the subsequent four years. This represents a substantial incentive package for the new executive.

• Registration of 55.1 Million Shares for Resale

  The company registered up to 55,088,493 shares of common stock for resale by selling securityholders. These shares include 36.3 million shares issuable upon conversion of 10.0% convertible senior secured notes and 18.8 million shares issued via exchange agreements from April 21, 2026.

• Company Receives No Proceeds from Resale

  SunPower Inc. will not receive any proceeds from the sale of these 55.1 million shares by the selling securityholders. This registration formalizes the potential for significant dilution from prior financing activities.

SunPower Inc., a company recently disclosing substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern and undergoing financial restatements, has appointed Tom Kowalczuk as its new Chief Financial Officer. This appointment is a critical step towards stabilizing financial leadership and addressing internal control issues, especially following the previous CFO's resignation and while the stock trades near its 52-week low. Concurrently, the company filed a prospectus supplement to register approximately 55.1 million shares for resale by existing securityholders. While this formalizes a significant potential overhang on the stock, these shares originate from previously disclosed financing activities (convertible notes and debt exchanges) that were crucial for the company's survival. The company will not receive any proceeds from these resales. The market is likely to view the CFO appointment as a positive development for governance and stability, while the resale registration confirms the expected dilution from prior financing.
