Insights

Rodgers-affiliated entities now control 39.4% of SunPower’s equity via shares and convertibles.

The filing shows Thurman J. Rodgers and affiliated entities holding 59,160,705 SunPower shares, equal to 39.4% of outstanding common stock as of June 22, 2026. This includes direct holdings, multiple family and charitable trusts, and an LLC.

A material portion of the position comes from convertible senior notes and warrants, such as the 7%, 10% and 12% notes due 2029, plus options and prior SAFE investments. The July 1, 2026 equity-for-interest exchange added 7,226,186 shares to the Living Trust and 633,250 shares to the Charitable Trust.

Rodgers is CEO, executive chairman and a director, so this concentrated ownership could influence governance and future corporate actions. Actual impact will depend on future conversions, trading activity and any strategic initiatives Rodgers pursues with the Board and other holders.

Simple Agreement for Future Equity financial
"the Issuer entered into a Simple Agreement for Future Equity with the Living Trust in connection with its $1.0 million investment"
A simple agreement for future equity is an investment contract that gives an investor the right to receive company shares at a later financing event or sale instead of getting shares immediately. Think of it like a voucher that converts into ownership once the company’s value is formally set; it matters to investors because it fixes how and when ownership is awarded, affects how much of the company they ultimately own, and influences dilution and return potential.
convertible senior notes financial
"the Issuer's 10% convertible senior secured notes due 2029 and 7% convertible senior notes due 2029"
Convertible senior notes are a type of loan that a company issues to investors, which can be turned into company shares later on. They are called "senior" because they are paid back before other debts if the company runs into trouble. This allows investors to earn interest like a loan but also have the chance to own part of the company if its value rises.
equity for interest exchange transactions financial
"in connection with those certain equity for interest exchange transactions completed by the Issuer and the applicable Reporting Persons"
Business Combination Agreement financial
"upon the closing of the transactions contemplated by pursuant to that certain Business Combination Agreement, dated May 26, 2023"
A business combination agreement is a detailed contract that lays out the terms for two companies to join together—covering price, how ownership will be split, the steps needed to close the deal, and what each side promises to do or avoid before closing. For investors it matters because the agreement determines potential changes in value, control, timing, and risk exposure—think of it like the playbook for a merger that shows who wins, who pays, and what could still derail the plan.
Schedule 13D regulatory
"shall not be construed as an admission that any such person is, for the purposes of Section 13(d) and/or Section 13(g) of the Act or otherwise, the beneficial owner of any securities covered by this schedule"
A Schedule 13D is a legal document that investors file with regulators when they buy a large enough stake in a company to potentially influence its management or decisions. It provides details about the investor’s intention, ownership stake, and plans, helping other investors understand who is gaining control and what their motives might be.
beneficial ownership financial
"Mr. Rodgers may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock held by the other Reporting Persons"
Beneficial ownership means the person or entity that actually enjoys the benefits of owning shares or other assets — such as receiving dividends, voting rights, or price gains — even if the legal title is held in another name. For investors it matters because knowing who truly controls and profits from a company reveals who can influence decisions, exposes potential conflicts of interest or hidden concentration of power, and affects transparency and risk in the stock.
