**Amendment of Material Agreement** 

*Amended Bilateral Development Services Agreement* 

As previously disclosed, in connection with Maxeon Solar Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: MAXN) ("Maxeon or the "Company") sale of 100% of its equity interest in SunPower Philippines Manufacturing Ltd, a Cayman incorporated legal entity and a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Maxeon ("SPML"), to TCL Zhonghuan Renewable Energy Technology Co Ltd. and/or its subsidiaries, the Company's controlling shareholder (collectively, "TZE"), on February 28, 2025 ("Closing Date") subsidiaries of TZE and Maxeon, respectively, entered into a Bilateral Development Services Agreement (the "Original Agreement"). For more information on the SPML sale transaction, refer to the Form 6-K submitted by the Company to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on January 27, 2025 (the "Signing 6-K").

The Original Agreement contemplated that Lumetech PTE Ltd., a subsidiary of TZE and purchaser of SPML ("Purchaser" or "Lumetech") and Maxeon Solar Pte Ltd., a subsidiary of the Company and a Singapore corporation ("MSPL"), would both agree to use their respective assets and human resources in the Republic of the Philippines and the United States of America to further the development of MAX8 Technology ("Collaboration"). The parties agreed to both invest on the development of MAX8 Technology for a period of two (2) years from the Closing Date, and within 30 days after the Closing Date, establish a joint, co-chaired joint management committee ("Management Committee") that would be responsible for the overall strategic alignment and direction with respect to the Collaboration. For information on the additional terms of the Original Agreement, refer to the Signing 6-K.

Since the Closing Date, the Original Agreement was not substantially performed and the parties decided to renegotiate the financial structure of the Original Agreement. On September 17, 2025, Zhonghuan Hong Kong Limited, a Hong Kong company and a subsidiary of TZE ("TZE HK"), Lumetech, and MSPL entered into the Amended Bilateral Development Services Agreement, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. Under the amended terms, Lumetech, and MSPL release and discharge each other from all claims of any form against the other that existed prior to July 1, 2025 and waive all rights and discharge all obligations to each other under the Original Agreement.

TZE HK has agreed to fund a greater share of the research and development costs in exchange for closer technology collaboration and expanded intellectual property ("IP") ownership rights. Through the amendment, the scope of the Original Agreement was also broadened to include geographies in addition to the Philippines and US (Singapore and China), with a particular focus on exclusive MAX8 development.

The Original Agreement provided for a split of labor costs by geography and a 50/50 annual sharing of non-labor costs. The Amended Bilateral Development Services Agreement shifts all labor costs across all regions to TZE HK, while non-labor costs remain split 50/50 but are managed regionally. The payment process is now governed by monthly rolling forecasts and reviews, with payments capped at the approved forecast unless otherwise agreed.

The amended Bilateral Development Services Agreement contemplates that in addition to an annual forecast prepared by MSPL and TZE HK, the parties will prepare monthly rolling forecasts. These forecasts will be reviewed on the 25th of each month, and payments will be due within five business days of approval. If no objections are raised within five business days, the forecast is deemed approved. The overall collaboration budget will be based on the annual and monthly forecasts. Payments are capped at the amount specified in the approved budget unless additional approval is obtained.

The amended Bilateral Development Services Agreement eliminates the joint management committee, which was responsible for quarterly milestone planning and overall project supervision. Under the amended agreement, TZE HK will have strategic control over the project, and conduct bi-weekly review meetings to monitor progress. MSPL will be responsible for executing the project with key individuals devoting their working time and attention to the Collaboration without competing with TZE HK and MSPL with the exception of limited passive investments. TZE HK will have authority to review personnel performance and approve staffing changes only if they would result in cost overruns.

------

The Amended Bilateral Development and Services Agreement amends the prior provisions regarding allocation of IP rights. TZE HK will become the sole owner of all Foreground IP (as such term is defined in the Amended Bilateral Development and Services Agreement), except for US Patents (as such term is defined in the Amended Bilateral Development and Services Agreement), which remain jointly owned. Parties have agreed to license the Background IP (as such term is defined in the Amended Bilateral Development and Services Agreement) for collaboration use during the term of the amended agreement, with a covenant not to sue solely to enable commercialization of Foreground IP. Patent prosecution responsibilities have also been reallocated, with TZE HK taking the lead except for US patents.

The term of the amended agreements remains unchanged - two years with automatic one-year renewals. TZE HK, however, now can exercise termination rights for performance issues, change of control, or insolvency. MSPL retains the right to terminate the amended agreement for a breach of the agreement by TZE HK. Additional provisions include a two-year post-employment non-compete and solicitation ban for key individuals, with TZE HK. Enforcement of such restrictive covenants is subject to applicable law and the Company's ability to enforce them, and TZE HK will bear all costs associated with any such enforcement request.

The foregoing description of the Amended Bilateral Development Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended Bilateral Development Services Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this report on Form 6-K and is incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the Amended Bilateral Development Services Agreement has been included to provide shareholders of Maxeon with information regarding their terms and are not intended to provide any factual information about the parties thereto, or any of their respective affiliates or subsidiaries, as applicable.

The Amended Bilateral Development Services Agreement contains representations, warranties, covenants and agreements, which were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of a specified date. The representations and warranties in the Amended Bilateral Development Services Agreement reflect negotiations between the parties to the Amended Bilateral Development Services Agreement and are not intended as statements of fact to be relied upon by stockholders, or any individual or other entity other than the parties. In particular, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in the Amended Bilateral Development Services Agreement may be subject to limitations agreed by the parties and have been made for purposes of allocating risk among the parties rather than establishing matters of fact. In addition, the parties may apply standards of materiality in a way that is different from what may be viewed as material by investors. As such, the representations and warranties in the Amended Bilateral Development Services Agreement may not describe the actual state of affairs at the date they were made or at any other time and you should not rely on them as statements of fact. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Amended Bilateral Development Services Agreement, and unless required by applicable law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update such information.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.2<u>Annual Forecast</u>. On the Effective Date, MSPL shall submit to TZE a budget forecast for Labor Cost and Non-Labor Cost covering the period from the Effective Date until December 31, 2025 (the "**Initial Annual Forecast**") for cost incurred in Singapore, China and United States. For each subsequent calendar year, MSPL shall deliver a first-pass version of the forecast for the Labor Cost and Non-Labor Cost Managed by Maxeon for such subsequent calendar year on or prior to the last Business Day of September of the preceding year, and shall deliver a finalized version of such forecast (the "**Subsequent Annual Forecast**", collectively with the Initial Annual Forecast, the "**Annual Forecast**") in January of such subsequent year following MSPL's executive leadership team and board approval of the annual operating plan. The Subsequent Annual Forecast shall serve as the benchmark Annual Forecast for that subsequent year. The Subsequent Annual Forecast shall include the following items: (i) a forecast of the Labor Cost for the subsequent calendar year; and (ii) a forecast of the Non-Labor Cost Managed by Maxeon for the subsequent calendar year. TZE shall, for the same reporting periods, provide Maxeon with budget forecasts covering Non-Labor Cost Managed by the TZE in Philippines. Within twenty (20) Business Days upon receiving an Annual Forecast (the "**Annual Forecast Acceptance Period**"), TZE and MSPL shall, either (i) sign an acknowledgement and acceptance letter of such Annual Forecast; or (ii) propose revisions to the terms of such Annual Forecast. If TZE or MSPL fails to deliver an acknowledgement and acceptance letter or issue a notice of rejection or revisions proposal within such Annual Forecast Acceptance Period, such Annual Forecast shall be deemed approved by TZE or MSPL respectively. If TZE or MSPL cannot reach an agreement on the Annual Forecast within ten (10) Business Days after the Annual Forecast Acceptance Period, the Chief Executive Officers of each Party shall meet and agree on the resolution within ten (10) Business Days.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Continuing Obligations

MSPL shall:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)Promptly disclose to TZE any Intellectual Property-related developments arising from the Collaboration;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)Provide ongoing reasonable assistance during the Foreground IP examination process.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.4<u>Consultation Period of TZE</u>. For a period of 24 months after Termination of this Agreement, TZE shall have the right to consult with MSPL on any invention or other achievements conceived or reduced to practice during the Agreement Term to ensure all Foreground IP is properly documented and, if suitable, corresponding Patent applications are filed, where TZE shall enjoy all the rights, interest and income generated therefrom as in this Agreement. Upon request from TZE, MSPL shall provide documentary evidence of conception or reduction to practice of an invention or other achievements and the date of such conception or reduction to practice. During a period of 12 months after Termination of this Agreement, if MSPL files any Patent application which relates to MAX7 and/or MAX8 and based on any Foreground IP, such Patent application and the Patent obtained thereafter (if any) shall be deemed as a part of the Foreground IP and thus TZE shall enjoy all the rights, interest and income generated therefrom as in this Agreement. Any Foreground IP that is reasonably evidenced to have been conceived during the Agreement Term, but not reduced to practice until after the Termination, shall nonetheless be considered Foreground IP under this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.5<u>Consultation Period of MSPL</u>. Notwithstanding the foregoing and only in the case of the US Patent, during a period of 12 months after Termination of this Agreement, if TZE files any Patent application which relates to MAX7 and/or MAX8 and based on any Foreground IP, such Patent application and the Patent obtained thereafter (if any) shall be deemed as a part of the US Patent and thus MSPL shall enjoy the same rights, interest and income generated therefrom as in this Agreement. Any US Patent that is reasonably evidenced to have been conceived during the Agreement Term, but not reduced to practice until after the Termination, shall nonetheless be considered US Patent under this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.** **PATENT ENFORCEMENT**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.1<u>Notice of Infringement</u>. If either TZE or MSPL becomes aware of any (a) actual or suspected infringement, anywhere in the world, of a Patent related to the Foreground IP by a third party; or (b) allegations from a third party alleging the invalidity, unenforceability or non- infringement of a Patent related to the Foreground IP, such party shall promptly notify the other in writing to that effect, and include in the notice any such evidence of infringement possessed by that party. If the involved Patent(s) is/are the US Patent, upon such notice and before proceeding with any action (e.g., cease and desist notice), TZE and MSPL shall consult with each other, in good faith, regarding whether to enforce such Patent rights, an appropriate approach for such enforcement, an allocation of costs for such enforcement effort, and allocation of proceeds that may result from such enforcement effort. If the involved Patent(s) is/are the US Patent, TZE and MSPL shall jointly enforce the Patent related to the Foreground IP unless mutually agreed otherwise.

The Receiving Party shall exercise at least the same degree of care to safeguard the confidentiality of the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information as it does to safeguard its own proprietary or confidential information of equal importance, but not less than a reasonable degree of care. The Receiving Party shall ensure, by instruction, contract, or otherwise with its representatives that such representatives comply with the provisions of this Section 8.1. The Receiving Party shall promptly notify the Disclosing Party in the event that the Receiving Party learns of any unauthorized use or disclosure of such Confidential Information by it or its representatives, and shall promptly take all actions necessary to correct and prevent such use or disclosure.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.2<u>Exclusions</u>. The confidentiality obligations in Section 8.1 shall not apply to any Confidential Information which: (a) is or becomes generally available to and known by the public (other than as a result of a non-permitted disclosure or other wrongful act directly or indirectly by the Receiving Party); (b) is or becomes available to the Receiving Party on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Disclosing Party, provided that the Receiving Party has no knowledge that such source was at the time of disclosure to the Receiving Party bound by a confidentiality agreement with, or other obligation of secrecy to, the Disclosing Party which was breached by the disclosure; (c) has been or is hereafter independently acquired or developed by the Receiving Party without reference to such Confidential Information and without otherwise violating any confidentiality agreement with, or other obligation of secrecy to, the Disclosing Party; (d) was in the possession of the Receiving Party at the time of disclosure by the Disclosing Party without restriction as to confidentiality; or (e) is requested or required to be disclosed to a regulatory authority, provided that the Receiving Party promptly notifies, to the extent practicable, the Disclosing Party in writing of such request or demand for disclosure so that the Disclosing Party, at its sole expense, may seek to make such disclosure subject to an

appropriate remedy to preserve the confidentiality of the Confidential Information.
