Complete Solar is Winning Bidder in SunPower Chapter 11 Proceedings


LEHI, Utah, Sept. 16, 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 SunPower (OTC: SPWRQ) has determined Complete Solar to be the prevailing bidder for the assets of SunPower pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement previously filed with the Bankruptcy Court. Accordingly, subject to the Bankruptcy Court’s final approval of the sale at the hearing on September 23, 2024, Complete Solar will acquire the assets of SunPower.

T.J. Rodgers. Complete Solar CEO, said, “Just a week ago, Complete Solar announced it would offer interviews to join the ‘New SunPower,’ officially Complete Solar, the ‘Ark’ in the Noah’s Ark reverse merger by which the 100-person Complete Solar will hire 1,000 people from the current SunPower family of companies into new jobs with fresh stock option grants. Complete Solar will also begin to manage three SunPower business units, while leaving the rest of the company to complete its bankruptcy process.

Rodgers continued, “When I wrote the invitation to interview to all SunPower family company members, I intentionally mentioned that the 1,000 we hired would have to do the work of 2,000 because we would have a Silicon Valley-style startup work ethic. My intent was to reduce the number of applications to ease our interviewing burden – three interviews for each of 1,000 people requires a team of 30 interviewers to perform 100 interviews each. To my surprise 1,925 employees signed up in just a few hours. With 1,000 hand-picked employee-shareholders, we’re going to turn the recent shareholder complaints into at least respect and hopefully praise over the next year.”
