5 Explanatory Notes: 1. Mr David Li serves as an independent director on Maxeon’s Board of Directors, as a member of its Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Strategy & Transformation Committee.

Upon re-election, Mr. Li shall continue to serve as a Director of the Company and a member of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Strategy & Transformation Committee. Mr. Li has over 25 years of experience in the semiconductor industry. From 2015 to 2022 he was Chief Executive Officer, President, and a Board Member of CMC Materials, a leading global supplier of specialty materials focused on the semiconductor and energy industries with over $1 billion USD in revenues.

From 1997 and 2006 he covered a variety of senior engineering, sourcing, investor relations, and corporate development roles. David Li currently sits on the Board of Coorstek, a company which specializes in the manufacture of high-performance ceramics for advanced applications. Mr. Li graduated from the Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN, in 1995 with a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering, and from the Northwestern University (Kellogg), Chicago, IL, in 2002 with a Master in Business Administration (MBA). 2. The Ordinary Resolution proposed in Resolution 4 above is to authorize our Directors to issue ordinary shares and make or grant offers, agreements or options that might or would require the issuance of ordinary shares. 3. The following explanatory notes are provided in connection with the Pre-Paid Forward Transaction for background and context. Terms used in this Explanatory Note 3 are as defined in Resolution 5 above. i. The Pre-Paid Forward Transaction was entered into in order to facilitate certain privately negotiated derivative transactions whereby holders of the 6.50% green convertible notes issued by the Company on 17 July 2020 (the “2020 Convertible Notes”) would be able to hedge their investment in the 2020 Convertible Notes with certain counterparties. The Company cannot control how such investors may use such derivative transactions nor does it participate in such derivative transactions; ii. The Company’s authority to purchase or acquire the FPTC Buyback Shares was last renewed on 23 August 2023. As such authority was only granted as of 23 August 2023 until (i) the date of the Company’s next annual general meeting, (ii) the date on which the Company’s next annual general meeting is required by law to be held or (iii) the date on which the FPTC Buyback Shares are purchased or acquired, whichever is the earliest, this shareholder approval is being sought to continue to permit the Company exercise its rights and perform obligations under, and to be able to purchase or acquire the FPTC Buyback Shares in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Pre-Paid Forward Transaction. There have not been any purchases or acquisitions of the FPTC Buyback Shares since 23 August 2023. iii. The Company is not seeking a general share repurchase mandate. The shareholder approval being sought would enable the Company to exercise its rights and perform its obligations under the Pre-Paid Forward Transaction, including to repurchase Shares off-market from time to time until July 2025. The settlement of the Pre-Paid Forward Transaction by delivery of shares in the capital of the Company constitutes a share buyback under the Companies Act which must be approved by a special resolution of shareholders annually (with no votes being cast by MLI and its associated persons).

6 iv. The FPTC Share Buyback Mandate will be subject to a limitation, being (i) the number of FPTC Buyback Shares purchased or acquired under the FPTC Share Buyback aggregated with (ii) the number of MLI Buyback Shares (as defined in Resolution 6) purchased or acquired under the MLI Share Buyback (as defined in Resolution 6), may not exceed 20% of the total number of ordinary shares in the share capital of the Company as at the date on which Resolution 5 is passed. Whereas under terms and conditions of the Pre-Paid Forward Transaction, the Company may repurchase up to 2,528,211 ordinary shares of the Company as FPTC Buyback Shares, the actual number of FPTC Buyback Shares repurchased may be lower to comply with this limitation and any remainder would be settled by MLI in cash; v. The repurchase amount has already been pre-paid in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Pre-Paid Forward Transaction. Accordingly no further payments need to be made by the Company. There will therefore be no financial effect from any purchase or acquisition made by the Company under the FPTC Share Buyback Mandate; and vi. A copy of the pre-paid forward share purchase transaction entered into on 17 July 2020 between MLI and the Company has been made available for inspection by the shareholders both (i) at the Company's registered office for not less than 15 days ending with the date of the AGM, and (ii) at https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/867773/000119312520195042/d76584dex1 01.htmduring the AGM itself under Item 19, Exhibit 4.6 of our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. 4.

The Company does not participate in such derivative transactions. ii. The Company’s authority to purchase or acquire the MLI Buyback Shares was last renewed on 23 August 2023. As such authority was only granted as of 23 August 2023 until (i) the date of the Company’s next annual general meeting, (ii) the date on which the Company’s next annual general meeting is required by law to be held or (iii) the date on which the MLI Buyback Shares are purchased or acquired, whichever is the earliest, this shareholder approval is being sought to continue to permit the Company to exercise its rights and perform its obligations under, and to be able to purchase or acquire the MLI Buyback Shares in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Physical Delivery Forward Transaction.

Each Consolidated Share will rank pari passu in all respects with each other, except that the Consolidated Shares which are to be held as treasury shares will be subject to the provisions of the Companies Act on treasury shares. Shareholders holding less than 100 Existing Shares as at the Record Date will not be entitled to any Consolidated Shares and will no longer be Shareholders upon completion of the Proposed Share Consolidation (the "Affected Shareholders"). Affected Shareholders should consult their stockbroker, bank manager, solicitor, accountant or other professional adviser immediately. They may, subject to such advice on actions that they should take and their own investment policies and risk/return requirements, wish to consider the Notice of AGM - Notice of AGM 7

Purpose of the Proposed Share Consolidation. The Company is undertaking the Proposed Share Consolidation to fulfil its obligations under the Securities Purchase Agreement dated 30 May 2024, a copy of which is available under Exhibit 99.3 of the Form 6-K filed on May 30, 2024 at sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1796898/000121390024047685/ea020698502e x99-3_maxeon.htm as well as in order to comply with the minimum bid requirement for continued listing on the NASDAQ Global Select Market. iii. Effect of the Proposed Share Consolidation. As at the 23 July 2024, the Company has an issued and paid-up share capital of USD1,561,211,060 comprising 552,462,708 ordinary shares and no subsidiary holdings. For the purposes of illustrating the effect of the proposed share consolidated and on the assumption that no fractions of Consolidated Shares arising from the Proposed Share Consolidation, and subject to Shareholders' approval being obtained for the Proposed Share Consolidation at the AGM, if the stock consolidation had been implemented on 23 July 204, the issued and paid-up share capital of the Company would be USD1,561,211,060, comprising 5,524,627 Consolidated Shares, following the completion of the Proposed Share Consolidation. The Company may issue ordinary shares in the period after 23 July 2024 up till and including the Record Date, for purposes such as the vesting of stock incentives granted to employees or in satisfaction of certain of its contractual obligations. The information in this paragraph 5(iii) will not be updated prior to the AGM. The Proposed Share Consolidation will have no impact on the issued and paid-up share capital of the Company. The Proposed Share Consolidation will not involve the diminution of any liability in respect of unpaid capital or the payment to any Shareholder of any paid-up capital of the Company and has no effect on the shareholders’ funds (if any) of the Company and its subsidiaries. Shareholders will not be required to make any payment to the Company in respect of the Proposed Share Consolidation. The Proposed Share Consolidation will not cause any material changes to the percentage shareholding of each Shareholder, other than non-material changes due to rounding and disregarding fractional entitlements. iv. Rounding and Fractional Entitlements. Shareholders should note that the number of Consolidated Shares which they will be entitled to pursuant to the Proposed Share Consolidation, based on their holdings of Existing Shares as at the Record Date, will be rounded down to the nearest whole Consolidated Share and any fractions of a Consolidated Share arising from the Proposed Share Consolidation will be disregarded. All fractional entitlements arising from the implementation of the Proposed Share Consolidation will be aggregated and/or dealt with in such manner as the Directors may, in their absolute discretion, deem appropriate in the interests of the Company, including aggregating and selling the same and distributing the proceeds to such Shareholder entitled to a fractional entitlements a cash payment in lieu of that Shareholder’s fractional entitlement. Where a Shareholder's holding would be less than one (1) Consolidated Share as a result of the Proposed Share Consolidation (or less than 100 Existing Shares), no Shares will be held by that Shareholder after the Proposed Share Consolidation. The Company intends to appoint a transfer agent, who will aggregate all fractional entitlements and sell them on behalf of Shareholders’ who otherwise would be Notice of AGM - Notice of AGM 8
