SINGAPORE, May 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Maxeon Solar Technologies, Ltd. (NASDAQ: MAXN) (the "Company"), a global leader in solar innovation and channels, announced that on May 17, 2024, it received a notice of non-compliance (the "Notice") from the Nasdaq Global Select Market ("Nasdaq") stating that the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) ("Listing Rule") because the Company did not timely file its annual report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 on Form 20-F (the "Annual Report") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").

The Notice indicated that, consistent with Nasdaq rules for continued listing, the Company has 60 calendar days from the date of the Notice, or until July 16, 2024, to submit to Nasdaq a plan to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules. If Nasdaq accepts the Company's plan, Nasdaq may grant the Company an exception of up to 180 calendar days from the due date of the Annual Report, or November 11, 2024, to regain compliance. If Nasdaq does not accept the plan, the Company will have the opportunity to appeal the decision to a hearings panel under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(a).

The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company's ordinary shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company is working diligently to file the Annual Report before the compliance plan is due on July 16, 2024, or alternatively, will submit to Nasdaq a plan to regain compliance on or before July 16, 2024, as required by the Notice.

The Company today also announced it will postpone for a second time the release of its Fourth Quarter, Fiscal Year 2023 and First Quarter 2024 Financial Results, previously scheduled for May 23, 2024 U.S. ET / May 23, Singapore Time, to May 30, 2024.
