Explanatory Note

This amended Current Report on Form 8-K/A is being filed solely to correct several discrepancies that appeared in the Secured Promissory Note filed as Exhibit 10.2 and the Stock Pledge Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.3 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on September 29, 2023 (the “Original 8-K), compared to the final Secured Promissory Note and Stock Pledge Agreement that were executed by SPI Energy Co., Ltd. (the “Company”). Except for the changes described below relating primarily to the timing of interest payments under the Secured Promissory Note (as defined below) and the release of Shares (as defined below) pursuant to the Stock Pledge Agreement (as defined below) upon the repayment of the Secured Promissory Note, no other material changes were made to the Original 8-K.

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On September 26, 2023, EdisonFuture, Inc. (“EdisonFuture”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Palo Alto Clean Tech Holding Limited, a British Virgin Islands exempted company which is owned and controlled by Xiaofeng Peng, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and his spouse (the “Purchaser”). Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, EdisonFuture agreed to sell to the Purchaser an aggregate of 12,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.004 par value (the “Shares”), of Phoenix Motor Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Phoenix”), at a per share price of $1.02, representing an aggregate purchase price of $12,240,000 (the “Purchase Price”). Phoenix is a subsidiary of the Company and Xiaofeng Peng also serves as its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

The Purchaser agreed to pay the Purchase Price to EdisonFuture by delivering to EdisonFuture on September 26, 2023, which was the date of closing (the “Closing”):

(a) a cash payment of $40,000 in immediately available funds by wire transfer to EdisonFuture, and

(b) a secured promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $12,200,000 (the “Secured Promissory Note”), secured by all of the Purchaser’s interest in the Shares pursuant to a stock pledge agreement (the “Stock Pledge Agreement”).

The Secured Promissory Note bears interest at 3% per annum, payable in arrears on December 31 of each year, with the full principal balance of $12,200,000, and all accrued but unpaid interest, due on the maturity date, which is three years from the Closing, or September 30, 2026.

The Secured Promissory Note bears interest at 3% per annum, payable in arrears on or before December 31 of each year, commencing December 31, 2023, with the total unpaid principal balance, and all accrued but unpaid interest, due on the maturity date of September 30, 2026.

Upon payment of principal under the Secured Promissory Note, Shares will be released to the Purchaser pursuant to the Stock Pledge Agreement in proportion to the principal amount paid (excluding interest payments by the Purchaser) based upon the original principal amount of $12,200,000. For example, when the Purchaser makes a payment of principal equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the original principal amount of the Secured Promissory Note ($1,020,000), one-twelfth (1/12) of the Shares (1,000,000 Shares) shall be released to the Purchaser. As of December 14, 2023, no principal amount has been paid by the Purchaser to Edison Future and no Shares have been released by Edison Future to the Purchaser under the Stock Pledge Agreement.

The foregoing is a brief summary only and does not purport to be a complete description, and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Secured Promissory Note and the Stock Pledge Agreement, which are attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2 and Exhibit 10.3, respectively, and are incorporated by reference herein.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, PALO ALTO CLEAN TECH HOLDING LIMITED, a British Virgin Islands exempted company (the “Maker”), hereby promises to pay to the order of EDISON FUTURE, INC.. or its successors and assigns (together with its successors and assigns, the “Holder”), the principal sum of Twelve Million Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($12,200,000), with interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Secured Promissory Note (as amended, modified, extended, restated, replaced, or supplemented from time to time, this “Note”) from time to time as provided herein. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Note shall have the meanings given to them in Exhibit A to this Note.

1. Interest. Interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal sum of this Note at an annual rate equal to three percent (3.00%) commencing on the date hereof through and including the date on which this Note is paid in full. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 days and charged for the actual number of days elapsed. The Maker promises to pay accrued but unpaid interest on the principal amount of this Note on December 31, each year, commencing December 31, 2023.

2. Default Interest. From and after the Maturity Date or such earlier date as all principal owing hereunder becomes due and payable by acceleration or otherwise, or at the Holder’s option upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the outstanding principal balance of this Note shall bear interest at an increased rate per annum (computed on the basis of a 365-day year, actual days elapsed) equal to five percent (5.00%) per annum above the rate of interest from time to time applicable to this Note.

3. Interest Payments and Principal Repayment Schedule

(a) The Maker covenants and agrees that the interest will be due and payable on or before December 31, each year, commencing December 31, 2023.

5. Prepayment. The Maker may prepay the outstanding principal amount of this Note in whole or in part at any time, provided that such prepayment is accompanied by the payment of all accrued but unpaid interest under this Note as of the date of such prepayment. Any such prepayment shall be applied (a) first, to any accrued but unpaid interest under this Note as of the date of such prepayment, and (b) second, to reduce the principal repayment installments under this Note in the order designated by the Maker (or, if the Maker makes no such designation, principal prepayments made pursuant to this Section 5 shall be applied to the principal installments under this Note in the inverse order of maturity).

6. Records.

(d) Payment of Obligations; Taxes. (i) Pay and discharge as the same shall become due and payable, all its material obligations and liabilities, including all material tax liabilities, assessments and governmental charges or levies upon it or its properties or assets, unless the same are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and adequate reserves are being maintained by the Maker; and (ii) timely file all material tax returns required to be filed.

3.2 Voting Rights and Dividends. So long as there shall exist no Event of Default, Debtor shall be entitled to (a) exercise his rights to voting power with respect to the Collateral pledged under this Agreement, and (b) receive dividends, if any, paid by the Company. Upon an Event of Default, (a) Secured Party acting alone may exercise voting rights with respect to the Collateral, (b) Secured Party alone shall be entitled to receive dividends, if any, paid by the Company (and Debtor hereby agrees promptly to remit to Secured Party any dividends received from the Company upon after the occurrence of an Event of Default unless and until such Event of Default has been waived in writing by Secured Party), and (c) Secured Party may cause the Collateral to be reissued in Secured Party’s name to facilitate the exercise of such voting rights and receipt of such dividends.

5. Release of Collateral. The parties hereby mutually agree that segments of the Collateral will be released in correlation to the corresponding portions of the Principal Amount (as such term is defined under the Note) paid by the Debtor, with any previously paid interest excluded. For example, when the Debtor makes a payment equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the Principal amount ($1,020,000) to reduce the Principal Amount, one-twelfth (1/12) of the Collateral (1,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock) shall be released to the Debtor, and this process shall continue accordingly.

Any such sale shall be deemed to be a sale made in a commercially reasonable manner within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York and Debtor hereby consents and agrees that Secured Party shall incur no responsibility or liability for selling all or any part of the unreleased portion of the Collateral at a price which is not unreasonably low, notwithstanding the possibility that a higher price might be realized if the sale were public.

6.3 Protection of Collateral.

9. Cumulative Remedies. Secured Party’s rights and remedies under this Agreement are cumulative with and in addition to all other rights and remedies which Secured Party may have in connection with the obligations.
