On August 30, 2016, SPI Solar, Inc.

Pursuant to the Melodious SPA, Melodious has the right to request SPI Solar to repurchase 7,012 shares of the C-1 preferred stock and 4,341 shares of the C-2 preferred stock under certain circumstances. In April 2017, Melodious exercised such right and requested that SPI Solar repurchase those preferred stocks at a per share price of US$1,018.25, with a total repurchase consideration of US$11.6 million plus interest. The aforementioned repurchase was completed on July 10, 2017. Among the repurchase consideration, US$8.5mn was set off against the outstanding payment obligation of Melodious under the Melodious SPA with net payment by SPI Solar in the amount of US$3.2 million. After the completion of this repurchase, SPI Solar holds 28,048 shares of series C preferred stock of EnSync (consisting of 7,012 shares of each of series C-1, C-2, C-3 and C-4 preferred stock) and a warrant to purchase 50 million shares of common stock of EnSync, subject to certain conditions.
