WHEREAS there are two shareholder class actions and three 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. These actions are:

Case Name Case No. Filing Date

Bristow v. SunPower Corp., et al.

(the "Bristow Action")

16-cv04710-RS Aug. 16, 2016

Patel v. SunPower Corp., et al.

(the "Patel Action")

16-cv-04915-RS Aug. 26, 2016

Stern v. Werner, et al.

(the "Stern Action")

16-cv-05312-RS Sept. 16, 2016

Moscone v. Clement, et al.

(the "Moscone Action")

16-cv-05381-RS Sept. 20, 2016

Brenner v. Werner, et al.

(the "Brenner Action")

16-cv-05988-EJD Oct. 17, 2016

WHEREAS, pursuant to Civil Local Rule 3-12, plaintiff Melvin Brenner has filed 

concurrently herewith an administrative motion to consider whether the Brenner Action should be 

deemed related to the previously-filed Bristow, Patel, Stern, and Moscone Actions and reassigned to 

the Honorable Richard Seeborg;

WHEREAS the Brenner Action arises from the substantially similar facts and circumstances 

as the Bristow, Patel, Stern, and Moscone Actions;

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; and

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 Brenner Action should 

be deemed related to the previously-filed Bristow, Patel, Stern, and Moscone Actions and 

reassigned to the Honorable Richard Seeborg.
