Percentage calculated based on (i) a denominator comprised of (a) 420,921,574 ordinary shares, no par value (the "Ordinary Shares"), of Maxeon Solar Technologies, Ltd. (the "Issuer") issued and outstanding as of July 12, 2024, according to information provided by the Issuer to the Reporting Persons as of the date hereof (the "Outstanding Share Count"), plus (b) the "Issuable Shares" as defined under (ii)(b) immediately below, and (ii) a numerator based on (a) 8,000,931 Ordinary Shares held by the above Reporting Person plus (b) 16,026,530 Ordinary Shares (the "Issuable Shares") that would be issuable upon the conversion of the Issuer's Adjustable-Rate Convertible Second Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2028 (the "Notes") issued to the above Reporting Person's wholly-owned subsidiary on July 5, 2024, pursuant to that certain indenture dated as of June 20, 2024 (the "Indenture"), by and among the Issuer, the guarantors party thereto, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee, DB Trustees (Hong Kong) Limited, as collateral trustee and, solely with respect to the Philippine collateral, RCBC Trust Corporation, at the applicable conversion rate and conversion adjustment for the Conversion Consideration (as defined in the Indenture) as if the Notes were converted as of July 5, 2024. The number of Issuable Shares depends upon the conversion formula set forth in the Indenture, and the actual number of Issuable Shares issuable on any given date is a fluctuating figure that may ultimately be a larger number or smaller number on the actual date of conversion.

It is expected, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including receipt of required regulatory approvals, that investors unrelated to the above Reporting Person will acquire a significant percentage of the beneficial ownership of the Issuer's outstanding Ordinary Shares following consummation of certain transactions disclosed by the Issuer in a Form 6-K on May 30, 2024 and another Form 6-K on June 17, 2024. It is also expected that the Outstanding Share Count will continue to increase due to continued conversions of the Notes into Ordinary Shares by certain holders of the Notes pursuant to the Indenture. Once the foregoing transactions and conversions are consummated, it is expected that the beneficial ownership of the above Reporting Person may be substantially diluted in the near future. At the time any such dilution is publicly disclosed or otherwise provided to the above Reporting Person by the Issuer, this Schedule 13D is expected to be amended accordingly.

Explanatory Note

 

This Amendment No. 4 (this "Amendment No. 4") to Schedule 13D amends the Schedule 13D of the Reporting Persons that was initially filed on September 8, 2020 (the "Initial Filing") with the SEC, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on November 1, 2022 ("Amendment No. 1"), by Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on May 23, 2023 ("Amendment No. 2") and by Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on July 9, 2024 ("Amendment No. 3," and together with the Initial Filing, Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2 and Amendment No. 3, the "Amended Filing"), relating to the Ordinary Shares of the Issuer. Information reported in the Amended Filing remains in effect except to the extent that it is amended, restated or superseded by information contained in this Amendment No. 4 (together with the Amended Filing, the "Schedule 13D"). Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 4 have the respective meanings set forth in the Amended Filing.

 

This Amendment No. 4 is being filed to report the decrease in the percentage of Ordinary Shares of the Issuer beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons since the previous reporting date on account of an increase in the Outstanding Share Count from the Amended Filing as a result of conversions of the Notes into Ordinary Shares by certain holders of the Notes pursuant to the Indenture.

 

In furtherance thereof, it amends and restates portions of Items 2 and 5 of the Amended Filing. Except as set forth herein, there are no changes to the Schedule 13D.

Item 5.            Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

This Amendment No. 4 amends and restates Items 5(a), 5(b) and 5(e) of the Amended Filing as set forth below:

 

(a) and (b)       The information set forth in rows 7 through 13 (and related footnotes) of each of the cover pages for each Reporting Person of this Amendment No. 4 is incorporated herein by reference into this Item 5.

 

(e)       As of the date hereof, the following Reporting Persons ceased to beneficially own more than five percent of the Ordinary Shares. This Amendment No. 4 constitutes an exit filing for such Reporting Persons:

 

(1)
