Business Update

Manufacturing and supply chain restructuring

In November 2025, Maxeon Americas Manufacturing, LLC, an entity organized under the laws of Delaware, U.S.A., (“Maxeon Americas”) and a wholly owned subsidiary of Maxeon Solar Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: MAXN) (“Maxeon” or the “Company”), provided notice of surrender and abandonment of its lease on the brownfield site in Albuquerque, New Mexico (the “Site”), a decision which further supports our ongoing strategic restructuring of our business portfolio. In January 2026, the landlord of the Site initiated legal action against Maxeon Americas and the Company in the Second Judicial District of the New Mexico Courts, alleging breach of contract and guaranty, seeking damages in the amount of the rent due until the end of the term of lease, which expires on November 30, 2029. The Company is considering its options in responding to this legal action.

The Company remains focused on establishing alternative manufacturing and supply chains, including through collaborations with strategic partners for manufacturing in the U.S. To that end, the Company has entered into a non-exclusive module purchasing agreement with a third party for modules assembled in the U.S. using cells based on Maxeon’s “back contact” solar cell architecture technology, in which both the positive and negative electrical contacts are located on the back side of the solar cell. The Company has been selling these modules assembled by the third party in the U.S. through its distribution partners. As previously disclosed, Maxeon continues to evaluate the impact of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) on its business and remains focused on finding solutions responsive to the current economic environment resulting from among other factors, the U.S. trade and tariff policy and recently enacted legislation such as OBBBA. Our legal action at the U.S. Court of International Trade to contest U.S. Customs & Border Protection’s decision to deny entry to certain detained shipments of Maxeon 3, Maxeon 6, and Performance 6 solar panels, as well as our broad strategic restructuring of the Company’s business portfolio intended to focus the Company exclusively on the sales to the U.S. market, are both ongoing.

License & Settlement Agreement

Our subsidiary, Maxeon Solar Pte. Ltd. (“MSPL”), has been involved in a number of patent infringement cases, patent nullity actions, and other legal disputes (collectively, the “Litigation”) against Shanghai Aiko Solar Energy Co., Ltd. (“Aiko”).

On February 5, 2026 (the “Execution Date”), MSPL entered into a Patent License Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Aiko, pursuant to which the parties have agreed to settle the Litigation. As part of the settlement, Aiko will license, on a nonexclusive, non-transferable, non-assignable, non-sublicensable, on an “as-is” basis, MSPL’s patents related to “back contact” solar cell architecture technology, in which both the positive and negative electrical contacts are located on the back side of the solar cell (“BC Patents”), for use in Aiko’s products (“Licensed Products”) which may be sold worldwide except within the United States of America (the permitted territory, the “Licensed Territory”). Such license would not extend to any entities subsequently acquired by Aiko nor will it extend to Licensed Products manufactured by any third party on Aiko’s behalf. In the event of a change of control of Aiko, the license granted will remain in effect but will be limited to the Licensed Products in Aiko’s facilities at the time of the change of control event. The Agreement is set to expire at the end of five years from the Execution Date (the “Term”). In the event that the Agreement is terminated due to a material breach by Aiko, all unpaid fees shall become immediately due and payable, including a compensatory fee which Aiko is required to pay to MSPL. In consideration for the license and releases granted under the Agreement, Aiko is required to pay Maxeon during the Term, exclusive of tax, fees in a total aggregate amount of approximately US$236 million (“Total License Fee”). The aggregate net amount received by Maxeon shall be approximately US$105 million which is derived from the Total License Fee less deductions for legal fees related to our litigation activities (the “Legal Expenses”) and other amounts due to the licensing agent. The Total License Fee is payable in six installments of varying amounts over the Term. The Legal Expenses will be fully deducted from the installments payable in 2026, as a result Maxeon will receive the lowest amount of net license fees in 2026 over course of the Term. In the Agreement, fees payable are denominated in Chinese Yuan (CNY). The value of the Total License Fee is derived from converting CNY to USD at a rate of 1 CNY = US$0.14.

Pursuant to the Agreement, MSPL has agreed to withdraw or otherwise terminate all pending Litigation and Aiko has agreed to withdraw or otherwise terminate all pending opposition, nullity and/or revocation proceedings relating to

the Licensed Patents and Licensed Products, in each case within ten (10) calendar days following payment of the first scheduled installment of the Total License Fee. On the day immediately following such payment, MSPL is required to submit the application of withdrawal for a specified Litigation matter. If the aggregate fees paid by Aiko reach a specified threshold (the “Threshold”), and Aiko has been duly, timely and fully performing their obligations under the Agreement up and until the date when such Threshold is reached, MSPL will release Aiko from any and all claims arising from sales of Licensed Products manufactured and sold by Aiko within the Licensed Territory prior to the Execution Date. Aiko has also agreed not to challenge or continue to challenge the validity of any of MSPL’s BC Patents in the Licensed Territory. The Agreement provides that in the event of Aiko’s bankruptcy or admission in writing of its inability to pay its debt, the entire unpaid balance of the Total License Fee will become immediately due and payable by Aiko without further notice. The Agreement provides that in the event of a breach of certain confidentiality and press release provisions, and on Aiko’s part, reporting obligations and notice and audit requirements in the event of a change of control, the non-violating party will be entitled to indemnity and a compensatory fee. MSPL retains the right to assign or transfer the BC patents provided such transfer does not affect Aiko’s rights under the Agreement. On the Execution Date, Aiko delivered to the MSPL a guaranty executed by the Chairman of Aiko in his individual capacity (the “Guarantor”) for the benefit of MSPL pursuant to which, the Guarantor has guaranteed in full the performance of all of Aiko’s obligations, duties, liabilities and undertakings under the Agreement as if the Guarantor were the sole principal obligor under the Agreement.

The Agreement is governed under the laws of Hong Kong. Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or related to the Agreement will first be resolved through friendly consultation and if such consultation fails, any party has the right to submit the dispute to the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (HKIAC) for arbitration in accordance with the HKIAC Administered Arbitration Rules in force when the notice of arbitration is submitted.

The description of the Agreement contained herein does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement, which the Company intends to file as an exhibit to its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2025.

The Agreement contains representations, warranties, covenants and agreements, which were made only for purposes of such agreements and as of specified dates. The representations and warranties in the Agreement reflect negotiations between the parties to the 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 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 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 Agreement, and unless required by applicable law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update such information.
