As previously disclosed, SunPower Corporation (the "Company") and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company Parties") commenced bankruptcy cases by filing voluntary petitions (the "Chapter 11 Cases") under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the "Bankruptcy Court"). As part of these cases, the Company Parties filed the Statement of Financial Affairs and Schedules of Assets and Liabilities (collectively, the "Financial Disclosures") with the Bankruptcy Court on September 18, 2024, copies of which can be accessed at https://dm.epiq11.com/case/sunpower/info. The Financial Disclosures include various information regarding the Company Parties, as well as information regarding lawsuits, investigations, and other legal matters involving the Company Parties.
Cautionary Note Regarding the Company's Securities
The Company Parties caution that trading in their securities, including the Company's common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases is highly speculative and poses substantial risks. Trading prices for the Company's securities may bear little or no relationship to the actual recovery, if any, by holders of the Company's securities in the Chapter 11 Cases. In particular, the Company expects that its equity holders could experience a complete loss on their investment based on the anticipated outcome of the Chapter 11 Cases.
