This Amendment No. 2 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 3, 2011 (as amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, the “Schedule TO”) by Total S.A., a société anonyme organized under the laws of the Republic of France (“Total”), and Total Gas & Power USA, SAS, a société par actions simplifiée organized under the laws of the Republic of France and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Total (“Purchaser”). The Schedule TO relates to the offer by Purchaser to purchase up to 34,144,400 shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of SunPower Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“SunPower”), together with the associated preferred stock purchase rights issued in connection with and subject to the Rights Agreement (the “Rights Agreement”), dated as of August 12, 2008, by and between SunPower and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as amended (the “Class A Shares”), and up to 25,220,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of SunPower, together with the associated preferred stock purchase rights issued in connection with and subject to the Rights Agreement (the “Class B Shares” and together with the Class A Shares, the “Shares”), for $23.25 per Share, net to the holder thereof in cash (the “Offer Price”), without interest and less applicable withholding taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated May 3, 2011 (as amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, the “Offer to Purchase”) and the related Letter of Transmittal (as amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, the “Letter of Transmittal”), copies of which are attached as Exhibits (a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B) to the Schedule TO, respectively (which collectively constitute the “Offer”).

The information set forth in the Offer to Purchase is hereby incorporated by reference in answer to Items 1 through 11 and Item 13 of the Schedule TO and is amended, supplemented and modified by the information specifically provided in this Amendment. All capitalized terms used in this Amendment but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Offer to Purchase.

Amendment to Schedule TO

Items 1 and 4 of the Schedule TO are hereby amended, supplemented and modified by adding the following paragraphs to the end of each such Item:

“On May 24, 2011, Total and Purchaser extended the expiration of the Offer for a period of ten business days consistent with the terms of the Tender Offer Agreement. The Offer is now scheduled to expire at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on June 14, 2011, unless further extended. The Offer was extended because it is unlikely that Total and Purchaser will receive the approval of the Commission under the EC Merger Regulation prior to 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on May 31, 2011, the previously scheduled expiration of the Offer.

The Depositary has indicated that, as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 23, 2011, approximately 614,975 Class A Shares and 284,774 Class B Shares, which represent approximately 1.1% of the Class A Shares and 0.7% of the Class B Shares issued and outstanding as of April 27, 2011, had been validly tendered and not properly withdrawn in the Offer.

On May 24, 2011, Total and Purchaser issued a press release announcing the extension of the Offer. The full text of the press release is set forth as Exhibit (a)(1)(H) hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.”

Amendment to Offer to Purchase

Items 1 through 11 and Item 13 of the Schedule TO, to the extent such Items incorporate by reference the information contained in Section 16—“Certain Legal Matters; Regulatory Approvals,” are amended, supplemented and modified and Section 16 of the Offer to Purchase is hereby amended, supplemented and modified by amending and restating the fifth paragraph of the subsection entitled “Antitrust” in Section 16 of the Offer to Purchase, entitled “Certain Legal Matters; Regulatory Approvals,” in its entirety as follows:

“Pursuant to the Tender Offer Agreement and the requirements of the EC Merger Regulation, Purchaser filed a Form CO with respect to the Offer with the Commission on May 24, 2011. Within 25 working days of the filing of the Form CO, the Commission must decide whether to approve the Offer or to open an in-depth (Phase II) investigation. If a decision is not taken within this period, the Offer is deemed to have been approved. This period is extended to 35 working days if the parties propose remedies to resolve any competition concerns the Commission may have, or if a Member State requests that all or part of the Offer be referred to its national competition authority for review under national merger control legislation. The Commission will open a Phase II investigation only if it has serious doubts that the Offer will significantly impede competition in the single market or a substantial part of it, and the parties have not offered remedies that resolve those doubts. If an in-depth investigation (Phase II) is opened, the Commission’s investigation can take up to an additional 90 working days, which can be extended in certain circumstances, including if the parties offer commitments with a view to rendering the Offer compatible with the single market. If the Commission has not taken a decision within 90 working days, nor extended this investigation period, the Offer is deemed to have been approved.”
