Item 3.02 | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities |
The information set forth in Item 8.01 below is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02. The shares of SunPower Corporation’s (the “Company”) common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), to be issued in connection with the Settlement Agreement (as defined below) are expected to be issued pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), afforded by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act.
As previously reported, on December 22, 2010, the Company entered into eight amended and restated warrant confirmations (collectively, the “2015 Warrant Confirms”), originally issued on March 25, 2010 and April 5, 2010, with Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, Bank of America, N.A., Barclays Bank PLC and Credit Suisse International (“Credit Suisse”) providing for the acquisition, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, of up to 11,096,318 shares of Common Stock via net share settlement. The 2015 Warrant Confirms, together with previously disclosed convertible hedge transactions entered into on March 25, 2010 and April 5, 2010, are meant to reduce the Company's exposure to potential cash payments upon conversion of the Company's 4.50% Senior Cash Convertible Debentures due 2015, which matured in accordance with their terms on March 15, 2015.
On April 7, 2015, the Company entered into a partial unwind agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with Credit Suisse to reduce the number of warrants (the “CS Warrants”) issued pursuant to the 2015 Warrant Confirms that the Company entered into with Credit Suisse described above (the “CS Warrant Confirms”). The Settlement Agreement provides that the Company may issue a number of shares of Common Stock to Credit Suisse determined by a formula based on the volume-weighted average price of the Common Stock, up to a maximum of approximately 1.8 million shares of Common Stock (the “Unwind Settlement Shares”), to settle some or all of the CS Warrants before the settlement period provided by the CS Warrant Confirms. To the extent the Company does not settle all of the CS Warrants pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the remaining CS Warrants will be settled in accordance with the terms of the CS Warrant Confirms. The Settlement Agreement contains certain customary representations, warranties and other terms and conditions, including volume limitations pursuant to Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company expects to complete the issuance of the Unwind Settlement Shares, if any, during this second quarter of its current fiscal year.
