Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 16 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D filed on June 23, 2011, as amended on July 1, 2011, November 21, 2011, December 23, 2011, February 2, 2012, March 1, 2012, June 6, 2013, June 18, 2014, December 9, 2015, December 10, 2015, November 25, 2019, January 21, 2020, February 4, 2020, February 19, 2020, March 20, 2020 and April 15, 2020 (the “Filing”), by the Reporting Persons relating to the Shares of the Issuer. Information reported in the Filing remains in effect except to the extent that it is amended, restated or superseded by information contained in this Amendment. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment have the respective meanings set forth in the Filing.

Item 2 of the Filing is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

This Statement on Schedule 13D is being filed by the following persons (each a “Reporting Person” and, collectively, the “Reporting Persons”):

The business address of each of the Reporting Persons and their executive officers is 2, place Jean Millier, La Défense 6, 92400 Courbevoie, France. Together with its subsidiaries and affiliates (including TotalEnergies Gaz and TotalEnergies Solar), TotalEnergies, a broad energy company with a presence in more than 130 countries on five continents, is a major energy player that produces and markets fuels, natural gas and low-carbon electricity. The Group’s activities include the exploration and production of oil and gas, refining, petrochemicals and petroleum product retailing, solar power, sustainable biofuels and electricity, primarily from renewable sources.

Information with respect to the directors and executive officers of each of the Reporting Persons is provided on Schedule A.

Other than as disclosed by TotalEnergies in its Annual Reports on Form 20-F filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission between 2017 and 2022, during the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons nor, to the best of the Reporting Persons’ knowledge, any of their respective directors or executive officers (i) have been convicted in any criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) were parties to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding were or are subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 4 of the Filing is amended and supplemented as follows:

On May 24, 2022, Sellers agreed to sell 50% less one unit of the equity interests in a newly formed Delaware limited liability company (“HoldCo”), which upon closing of the Transaction (as defined below) will be the record holder of all of the shares of Common Stock held by Sellers, to GIP III Sol Acquisition, LLC (“Purchaser” and such transaction, the “Transaction”). The closing of the Transaction is subject to customary but material contingencies, including without limitation receipt of certain regulatory approvals. Following the closing of the Transaction, Sellers are expected to own 50% plus one unit of the equity interests in Holdco and Purchaser is expected to own 50% less one unit of the equity interests in HoldCo. No shares of Common Stock are being directly transferred to the Purchaser pursuant to the Transaction.

Following the closing of the Transaction, by virtue of Sellers’ and Purchaser’s respective governance rights over HoldCo, Sellers and Purchaser may be deemed to share beneficial ownership of all of the shares of Common Stock that are now beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons. Following the closing of the Transaction, Sellers and Purchaser are also each contemplated to have certain other governance rights related to HoldCo, including without limitation with respect to the exercise of director nomination rights held by the Reporting Persons with respect to the board of the directors of the Issuer. The Transaction is expected to close by year end 2022, subject to customary conditions including without limitation the receipt of certain regulatory and other approvals. However, there can be no assurance that the Transaction closing will actually occur, or occur by any particular date or on the currently anticipated terms.

The number and percentage of shares of Common Stock to which this Statement relates is 87,955,456, constituting 50.6% of the 173,862,474 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of April 29, 2022 as reported by the Issuer in its quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 6, 2022.

TotalEnergies Solar is a direct wholly owned subsidiary of TotalEnergies Gaz, which is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of TotalEnergies. As a result, each of TotalEnergies Solar, TotalEnergies Gaz and TotalEnergies may be deemed to beneficially own the foregoing Shares.

As of the date of this Statement, the Reporting Persons are the only beneficial owners of the foregoing Shares. To the best of the Reporting Persons’ knowledge, none of the persons listed on Schedule A is the beneficial owner of any Shares.

SIGNATURES

After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
