16-CV-05312-NC, 16-CV-05381-NC

-1-

WHEREAS, there are two shareholder class actions and two shareholder derivative

actions pending in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California and arising out

of a common set of facts, as set forth below:

Case Name Case No. Filing Date

Bristow v. SunPower Corp., et al. Case No. 16-cv-04710-RS Aug. 16, 2016

Patel v. SunPower Corp., et al. Case No. 16-cv-04915-WHO Aug. 26, 2016

Stern v. Werner, et al. Case No. 16-cv-05312-NC Sept. 16, 2016

Moscone v. Clement, et al. Case No. 16-cv-05381-NC Sept. 20, 2016

WHEREAS, pursuant to Civil Local Rule 3-12, defendant SunPower Corporation has

filed concurrently herewith an administrative motion to consider whether the Patel, Stern, and

Moscone actions should be deemed related to the previously filed Bristow action and reassigned

to the Honorable Richard Seeborg;

WHEREAS, the Bristow, Patel, Stern, and Moscone actions arise from substantially

similar facts and circumstances;

WHEREAS, it appears likely that there will be an unduly burdensome duplication of

labor and expense or conflicting results if these cases are conducted before different judges;

WHEREAS, defendants have not yet responded to the complaints in any of these actions;

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED, by and among

counsel for the undersigned parties, subject to approval of the Court, that the Patel, Stern, and

Moscone actions should be deemed related to the first-filed Bristow action and reassigned to the

Honorable Richard Seeborg.
