SunPower to sell 103.1 million shares for $26.2 million in private placement
SunPower agreed on September 2, 2026 to sell 103,109,005 common shares to accredited investors for about $26.2 million, at $0.2541 per share, equal to the Nasdaq closing price that day. The company said it will use the proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes, and the deal is expected to close September 4, 2026. Because the shares are being issued at a low price and the company must file a resale registration statement, existing shareholders face dilution, and the investor group includes entities affiliated with CEO T.J. Rodgers.
