1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On July 28, 2026 (the “Effective Date”),
T1 Energy Inc. (the “Company”) purchased from Evervolt Green Energy Holding Pte, Ltd., a private company limited by
shares organized under the laws of Singapore (the “Seller”), all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in
and to certain intellectual property and proprietary rights (the “Acquired IP”), and related rights, and certain other
assets (together, the “Purchased Assets”) pursuant to an intellectual property purchase agreement (the “IP
Purchase Agreement”), dated the Effective Date, between the Company and the Seller, and with respect to the termination of the
Existing Licenses (as defined below and in the IP Purchase Agreement), T1 G1 Dallas Solar Module LLC (“G1”). The Acquired
IP comprises the intellectual property previously licensed to the Company and one of its subsidiaries by the Seller under the Existing
Licenses. The Existing Licenses were terminated with immediate effect upon the closing of the transaction. The Company entered into the
IP Purchase Agreement following its exercise of a call option granted to it by the Seller under a call option letter agreement, dated
July 27, 2026, between the Company and the Seller (the “Call Option Agreement”) and attached to the IP Purchase Agreement
as Schedule H.
The aggregate purchase price for the Purchased
Assets is US$133,000,000 (the “Purchase Price”), which is in addition to a US$2,000,000 option premium previously paid
by the Company in consideration for the grant of the call option. The Purchase Price is payable by the Company in four tranches: (i) US$60,000,000,
payable on the date that is three business days after the Closing Date (which is the Effective Date, as defined in the IP Purchase Agreement);
(ii) US$25,000,000, payable on September 30, 2026; (iii) US$30,000,000, payable on October 15, 2026; and (iv) US$18,000,000, payable on
October 30, 2026. Each tranche of the Purchase Price is payable, at the Company’s election, (a) in cash, (b) by the issuance to
the Seller of a number of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”),
pursuant to the terms of the Call Option Agreement, or (c) any combination of the foregoing in such ratio as mutually agreed by the Company
and the Seller. The Company currently intends to pay the first tranche by the issuance of Common Stock.
The IP Purchase Agreement contains customary representations,
warranties and covenants of the parties, including representations of the Seller regarding its ownership of and title to the Purchased
Assets; the validity and enforceability of the Acquired IP and the absence of challenges thereto; the absence of claims, liens, charges
or encumbrances and related legal proceedings; the absence of third-party infringement, misappropriation and violation of the Acquired
IP; the Seller’s status as a non-specified foreign entity as defined pursuant to Section 7701(a)(51)(B) and Section 7701(a)(51)(C)
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; and general compliance. The IP Purchase Agreement provides for mutual indemnification
for third-party claims arising from Retained Liabilities (as defined in the IP Purchase Agreement) (in the case of the Seller), negligence
or willful misconduct, or material breach, as well as a Seller-specific indemnity for third-party claims alleging that the Acquired IP
infringes, misappropriates or otherwise violates any third party’s intellectual property rights. The Seller has agreed to effect all necessary
changes of ownership and recordals with respect to the Acquired IP to evidence the sale and to take all steps and provide cooperation
and assistance to the Company as may be reasonably necessary to perfect the assignment of the Purchased Assets, within 30 days of the
Closing Date.
Any shares of Common Stock issued to the Seller in satisfaction of the Purchase Price (the “Consideration Shares”) will be
issued as “restricted securities” under applicable securities laws and will initially bear a customary restrictive legend.
The number of Consideration Shares issued in satisfaction of any portion of the Purchase Price will be determined based on a 15% discount
to the volume-weighted average price of the Common Stock during a 5-trading day observation period ending two business days prior to the
date of issuance of any such Consideration Shares. However, the aggregate number of Consideration Shares issued pursuant to the Call Option
Agreement may not exceed 19.9% of the total number of shares of Common Stock of the Company issued and outstanding as of the date of the
Call Option Agreement, and if the Consideration Shares would exceed 19.9% of the total number of shares of Common Stock of the Company,
the remainder of the Purchase Price shall be paid in cash. The issuance of any Consideration Shares on any given payment date is contingent
upon the Company’s receipt of the official notice from the New York Stock Exchange of its approval of such issuance. The Company
has also agreed to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), on or before the fifth business day following
each payment date on which Consideration Shares are issued, a registration statement, or a prospectus supplement to a prospectus forming
a part of an existing registration statement, covering the resale of such Consideration Shares by the Seller.

SURVIVAL; Indemnification; limitations on liability
Section 5.1
Survival. All representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements contained
in this Agreement and all related rights to indemnification and damages shall continue in full force and effect following the date hereof.
Section 5.2
Mutual Indemnification. Each Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) shall
indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other Party and such other Party’s Affiliates (as applicable) and its and their respective
directors, officers, agents, successors and assigns (each, an “Indemnified Party” and collectively, the “Indemnified
Parties”) from and against any and all loss, liability, or expense (including attorneys’ fees and costs) incurred
or suffered by any of the Indemnified Parties as a result of, or arising out of, any claim or demand by a Third Party alleging or arising
from (a) solely with respect to Seller as the Indemnifying Party, any Retained Liabilities, (b) negligence, gross negligence,
willful misconduct or fraud by the Indemnifying Party, any of its Affiliates, or its or its Affiliates’ officers, directors, members,
managers or employees, or its or their agents or subcontractors in the performance of this Agreement or (c) material breach by the
Indemnifying Party of this Agreement, in each case (in respect of the foregoing clauses (a)-(c)), except to the extent that such
loss, liability or expense (including attorneys’ fees and costs) is subject to indemnification by the other Party pursuant to this
Article V.
Section 5.3
IP Infringement Claims.
(a)
Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser and its Affiliates (“Purchaser Indemnified Party”)
from and against any loss, liability or expense (including attorneys’ fees and costs) incurred by any such party as a result of,
or arising out of, a claim or demand by a Third Party alleging that any Acquired IP, or the use thereof, infringes, misappropriates or
otherwise violates any Intellectual Property rights of any Third Party; provided that Seller shall have no such obligation to the
extent the claim or demand arises from: (i) the combination of Acquired IP with content, materials, products or services provided
by Purchaser and its Affiliates or Third Parties that is not at the direction of Seller or in compliance with Seller’s instructions
and Seller does not and should not reasonably expect such combination to occur, where the use of Acquired IP alone in the absence of such
combination would be non-infringing; or (ii) Purchaser’s failure to use updated versions of Acquired IP (which are substantially
the same or better than the previous versions of such Acquired IP) if so instructed and provided by Seller in order to avoid such infringement,
misappropriation or violation. For the avoidance of doubt, “Purchaser Indemnified Party” is an “Indemnified
Party” under Section 5.4.
(b) Without
limiting the foregoing, if (i) a Third Party brings a claim that any Acquired IP, or the use thereof, infringes,
misappropriates or otherwise violates any Third Party’s Intellectual Property rights (an “IP Claim”),
(ii) Seller or Purchaser believes an IP Claim is reasonably likely or (iii) Purchaser’s or its licensees’ use
of the Acquired IP, or any activity with respect thereto, is enjoined as a result of, or arising out of, an IP Claim, Seller shall,
at its expense and in consultation with Purchaser, which shall act reasonably: (1) obtain a license or grant of rights under
the rights that have been infringed or otherwise violated or are alleged to be infringed or otherwise violated, or other
functionally equivalent Intellectual Property agreed upon by Purchaser (or at Purchaser’s direction acting reasonably and to
the extent commercially reasonable, require the Third Party to transfer ownership to Purchaser of such Intellectual Property
rights), which rights shall be no less favorable than the rights Seller granted to Purchaser pursuant to the IP License Agreement or
(2) modify the Acquired IP so it is non-infringing or otherwise non-violative, and deliver to Purchaser such modified Acquired
IP; provided that such modified Acquired IP is functionally equivalent to the unmodified Acquired IP. Seller shall have no
liability and no obligation under this Section 5.3 for any violation, infringement or misappropriation that arises out
of or results from the matters described in Section 5.3(a)(i)–(ii).
10
Section 5.4
Procedures. The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder only: (a) if it gives written notice
to the Indemnifying Party of any losses or claims, suits or proceedings by Third Parties which may give rise to a claim for indemnification
with reasonable promptness after receiving written notice of such claim (or, in the case of a proceeding, is served in such proceeding)
or becoming aware of any such loss; provided, however, that failure to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying
Party of its obligation to provide indemnification, except if and to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually and materially
prejudiced thereby, and (b) once the Indemnifying Party confirms in writing to the Indemnified Party that it is prepared to assume
its indemnification obligations hereunder, the Indemnifying Party has sole control over the defense of the claim, at its own cost and
expense; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall have the right to be represented by its own counsel at its
own cost in such matters. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume control over the
assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any action, in either case with respect to Taxes of the Indemnified Party; provided
that the Indemnified Party shall not settle or resolve any such claim or action if doing so would reasonably be expected to adversely
impact the Indemnifying Party, including increasing the Indemnifying Party’s obligations pursuant to this Agreement, without the
prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; and (ii) the Indemnifying
Party shall not settle or dispose of any such matter in any manner which would require the Indemnified Party to make any admission, or
to take any action (except for ceasing use or distribution of the items subject to the claim) without the prior written consent of the
Indemnified Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Each Party shall reasonably cooperate with the other
Party and its counsel in the course of the defense of any such suit, claim, or demand, such cooperation to include using reasonable efforts
to provide or make available documents, information and witnesses and to mitigate damages.
Section 5.5
Limitation of Liability. EXCEPT FOR A PARTY’S BREACH OF ARTICLE VI,
IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT,
OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF USE OR OPPORTUNITY COSTS) RESULTING FROM, ARISING OUT OF
OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT.

Party to object to the disclosure, and with respect to such order also shall first have made a reasonable effort to obtain a protective

Re: Call Option Letter
Dear all,
Reference is made to (i) the IP License Agreement,

and December 29, 2025, by and between Seller and T1 G1 Dallas Solar Module LLC (together with the IP License Agreement, the “Existing

and Purchaser and (iv) the Patent Assignment Agreement, dated December 29, 2025, by and between Trina and Purchaser, as amended
July 6, 2026.
Further reference is made to our recent discussions
relating to the contemplated (i) acquisition by Purchaser of all Intellectual Property (as defined under the Existing Licenses) licensed
to T1 under the Existing Licenses and other assets pursuant to the purchase agreement, substantially in the form attached hereto as Schedule
A (the “IP Purchase Agreement”) and (ii) granting to Joint Venture (as defined below) a sublicense under the license

This call option letter (the “Call
Option Letter”) sets forth the terms and conditions of Seller’s irrevocable commitment to (i) sell the Purchased Assets
(as defined under the IP Purchase Agreement) to Purchaser on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the IP Purchase Agreement
and (ii) grant Joint Venture the Sub-License (as defined below) on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth hereunder. Capitalized
terms used but otherwise not defined in this Call Option Letter shall have the meaning given to them in the IP License Agreement.
18
1. COMMITMENT TO ENTER INTO THE CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION
1.1 Seller hereby irrevocably undertakes to sell to Purchaser the Purchased Assets on the Closing Date (as
defined under the IP Purchase Agreement) in accordance with the IP Purchase Agreement and to grant the Sub-License to Joint Venture, in
each case, at the price and on the other terms and conditions set forth in this Call Option Letter (the “Call Option”),
and to enter into the Contemplated Transaction, subject only to delivery by Purchaser, on or prior to the Expiry Date (as defined below),
of a Call Option Exercise Notice in accordance with Section 3 below.
1.2 By signing this Call Option Letter, Purchaser accepts the benefit of the Call Option as an option solely,
without any undertaking to exercise the Call Option. Seller further acknowledges that nothing herein shall constitute in any manner whatsoever
an undertaking by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates to purchase from Seller or any of its Affiliates all or part of the Purchased Assets,
or to enter or cause any person to enter in the Sub-License Agreement (as defined below), or be bound by any obligation of any nature
whatsoever in connection with the Contemplated Transaction other than those obligations expressly set forth in this Call Option Letter.
1.3 Subject to delivery of the Call Option Exercise Notice in accordance with this Call Option Letter, Seller
undertakes to execute the IP Purchase Agreement simultaneously with Purchaser and the Sub-License Agreement with Joint Venture, each on
the Effective Date (as defined below), provided that, Purchaser shall have the right to elect to defer execution of the Sub-License Agreement
by each party thereto, to a date (the “Execution Date”) to be specified by Purchaser in writing at least ten (10) Business
Days prior to the Execution Date, provided that the Execution Date is no later than five (5) years after the Call Option Date. Any such
deferral shall be communicated to Seller in the Call Option Exercise Notice.
1.4 This Call Option Letter and the grant of the Call Option is irrevocable until the Expiry Date.
1.5 The Parties shall use reasonable best efforts to negotiate
and agree a new license agreement with respect to the Acquired IP (as defined under the IP Purchase Agreement) between Purchaser, as
licensor and Trina Solar Co., Ltd, as licensee (the “New License Agreement”), prior to the Effective Date, which shall
be executed on the Effective Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the agreement and execution of the New License Agreement shall not be
a condition to the exercise of the Call Option or the execution of, or completion under, the IP Purchase Agreement.
2. DURATION OF THE CALL OPTION
2.1 The Call Option shall be exercisable by Purchaser by serving a Call Option Exercise Notice (as defined
below) on Seller (in accordance with Sections 2.2 and 2.3) on a Business Day (the “Call Option Date”)
during the period beginning on the date hereof and ending thirty (30) days following the date hereof (the “Expiry Date”).
2.2 If Purchaser wishes to exercise the Call Option, it shall do so by sending to Seller a notice substantially
in the form attached hereto as Schedule B (the “Call Option Exercise Notice”).
19
2.3 To be valid, the Call Option Exercise Notice:
(a) shall be signed by a duly authorized representative of Purchaser;
(b) shall specify the time and date (the “Effective Date”),
being a Business Day no less than two (2) Business Days and no more than five (5) Business Days after the date of delivery of the Call
Option Exercise Notice, on which each of Seller and Purchaser shall deliver a counterpart of the IP Purchase Agreement duly executed
by it and Seller and subject to the JV Establishment (as defined below) having occurred, Joint Venture shall enter into the Sub-License
Agreement unless deferred by Purchaser and subject to Section 4; and
(c) shall be issued no later than the Expiry Date.
2.4 If the Call Option Exercise Notice has not been issued prior to the Expiry Date, this Call Option Letter
shall expire automatically, without any obligation or liability, in contract, tort or otherwise, of any party, its Affiliates or any of
their respective directors, officers, employees or advisers.
2.5 The validity and enforceability of the Call Option is not subject to the execution of the IP Purchase
Agreement and accordingly, upon exercise of the Call Option, Purchaser shall be bound under the IP Purchase Agreement as from the Effective
Date irrespective of whether or not the IP Purchase Agreement has been executed by Purchaser.
2.6 The validity and enforceability of the Call Option is not subject to the grant of the Sub-License or the
execution of the Sub-License Agreement and accordingly, upon exercise of the Call Option, Seller shall be bound to grant the Sub-License
and enter into the Sub-License Agreement as from the Effective Date on the Execution Date as is identified by the Purchaser in accordance
with Section 1.3, subject to Section 4.
3. ConSIDERATION FOR THE CALL OPTION and the contemplated transaction
3.1 In consideration for the grant of the Call Option, Purchaser shall pay to Seller an amount of $2,000,000
in cash (the “Option Premium”) within two (2) Business Days of the date hereof, by wire transfer of immediately available
funds to Seller’s account, details of which are set forth under Schedule C hereto (the “Seller Account”).
The Option Premium shall be non-refundable in all circumstances, including if the Call Option is not exercised or lapses on the Expiry
Date.
3.2 If the Call Option is exercised, the aggregate purchase price for the Contemplated Transaction, in addition
to the Option Premium, shall be $133,000,000 (the “Purchase Price”) payable by Purchaser in four tranches:
(a) First tranche of the Purchase Price shall be equal to $60,000,000 (the “First Tranche Purchase
Price”), payable by the date falling three (3) Business Days after the Closing Date (as defined in the IP Purchase Agreement
and such payment date, the “First Payment Date”) and satisfied, at Purchaser's sole discretion (with respect to (i)
and (ii)) and notified to Seller in the Call Option Exercise Notice, either (i) in cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds
to the Seller Account or (ii) by the issuance to Seller, subject to Section 3.3(i), of a number of shares of Purchaser Common
Stock equal to the quotient of (x) First Tranche Purchase Price divided by (y) Purchaser Stock Price determined as of the First
Payment Date, rounded down to the nearest whole share, or (iii) any combination of the foregoing in such ratio as mutually agreed to by
the parties (such shares of Purchaser Common Stock issued, together with any shares of Purchaser Common Stock issued pursuant to Sections
3.2(b), 3.2(c) and 3.2(d) the “Consideration Shares”).
20
(b) Second tranche of the Purchase Price shall be equal to $25,000,000 (the “Second Tranche Purchase
Price”), payable on September 30, 2026 (the “Second Payment Date”) and satisfied, at Purchaser's sole discretion
(with respect to (i) and (ii)) and notified to Seller in writing at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Second Payment Date, either
(i) in cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Seller Account or (ii) by the issuance to Seller, subject to Section
3.3(i), of a number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock equal to the quotient of (x) Second Tranche Purchase Price divided
by (y) Purchaser Stock Price determined as of the Second Payment Date, rounded down to the nearest whole share, or (iii) any combination
of the foregoing in such ratio as mutually agreed to by the parties.
(c) Third tranche of the Purchase Price shall be equal to $30,000,000 (the “Third Tranche Purchase

(with respect to (i) and (ii)) and notified to Seller in writing at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Third Payment Date, either
(i) in cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Seller Account or (ii) by the issuance to Seller, subject to Section
3.3(i), of a number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock equal to the quotient of (x) Third Tranche Purchase Price divided by
(y) Purchaser Stock Price determined as of the Third Payment Date, rounded down to the nearest whole share, or (iii) any combination of
the foregoing in such ratio as agreed to by the parties.
(d) Fourth tranche of the Purchase Price shall be equal to $18,000,000 (the “Fourth Tranche Purchase
Price”), payable on October 30, 2026 (the “Fourth Payment Date”) and satisfied, at Purchaser's sole discretion
(with respect to (i) and (ii)) and notified to Seller in writing at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Fourth Payment Date, either
(i) in cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Seller Account or (ii) by the issuance to Seller, subject to Section
3.3(i), of a number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock equal to the quotient of (x) Fourth Tranche Purchase Price divided
by (y) Purchaser Stock Price determined as of the Fourth Payment Date, rounded down to the nearest whole share, or (iii) any combination
of the foregoing in such ratio as mutually agreed to by the parties.
3.3 The Consideration Shares shall be issued on the terms and subject to the provisions set forth below:
(a) Where Purchaser elects, in accordance with Section 3.2,
to satisfy all or any portion of any tranche of the Purchase Price by the issuance of shares of Purchaser Common Stock, Purchaser shall,
on the applicable Payment Date, instruct the Transfer Agent to issue and deliver to Seller the number of shares of Consideration Shares
determined in accordance with Section 3.2, in uncertificated, book-entry form.
(b) Seller acknowledges and agrees that neither the issuance of
the Consideration Shares hereunder nor the transfer of such shares to Seller has been registered under the Securities Act, and they will
be offered and sold to Seller pursuant to an exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among
other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent of Seller and the accuracy of Seller’s representations as expressed
herein. Seller understands that the Consideration Shares are “restricted securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state
securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, Seller must hold the Consideration Shares indefinitely unless and until they are registered
with the SEC and qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available.
Seller acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements
including the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Consideration Shares, and on requirements relating to Purchaser which
are outside of Seller’s control, which Purchaser is under no obligation, and may not be able, to satisfy.
21
(c) Seller understands and agrees that Consideration Shares may
not be sold or otherwise transferred, except pursuant to an effective registration under the Securities Act, or in a transaction which
qualifies as an exempt transaction under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and in accordance with
the restrictions set forth in this Agreement.
(d) Seller acknowledges that each certificate or instrument evidencing the Consideration Shares shall initially
bear substantially the following restrictive legend, either as an endorsement, on the face thereof or a comparable notation or other arrangement
with respect to any uncertificated shares:
“THIS SECURITY
HAS BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND WITHOUT A VIEW TO DISTRIBUTION AND HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE
“ACT”), OR UNDER STATE SECURITIES LAWS. NO TRANSFER, SALE, ASSIGNMENT, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THIS
SECURITY OR ANY INTEREST OR PARTICIPATION THEREIN MAY BE MADE EXCEPT (A) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT
OR (B) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND, IN THE CASE OF CLAUSE (B), UNLESS
THE ISSUER RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER TO THE EFFECT THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED
UNDER THE ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.”
(e) On or prior to each Payment Date on which Consideration Shares are to be issued, Purchaser shall have
received official notice from the NYSE of its approval of the issuance in respect of the Consideration Shares to be issued on such Payment
Date, and shall take all other actions required so that such Consideration Shares are, upon issuance, listed and authorized for trading
on the NYSE. Purchaser shall not issue any Consideration Shares unless, upon issuance, such shares are so listed and authorized. If any
shares of Purchaser Common Stock become issuable under this Agreement in excess of the number covered by the authorization referred to
herein, Purchaser shall file such supplemental listing application(s), and obtain such further authorization, as may be required prior
to the issuance thereof.
(f) Purchaser agrees that as soon as practicable but in no event later than five (5) Business Days following
each Payment Date on which Consideration Shares are to be issued (each a “Filing Date”), Purchaser will file with the
SEC under the Securities Act, at the Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, a registration statement, or a prospectus supplement to
the prospectus included in an existing registration statement, covering the resale by Seller of the number Consideration Shares issuable
to Seller on such Payment Date (such Consideration Shares, the “Registrable Securities” and such registration statement
or prospectus supplement, the “Registration Statement”); provided, however, that Purchaser’s obligations
to include the Registrable Securities in the Registration Statement are contingent upon Seller furnishing a completed and executed selling
securityholder questionnaire in customary form to Purchaser that contains the information regarding Seller, the securities of Purchaser
held by Seller and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities (which shall be limited to non-underwritten public
offerings)required by SEC rules for inclusion in the Registration Statement to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities,
and Seller shall execute such documents in connection with any such registration as Purchaser may reasonably request that are customary
of a selling securityholder in similar situations. For purposes of clarification, any failure by Purchaser to file the prospectus supplement
by any Filing Date shall not otherwise relieve Purchaser of its obligations to file a prospectus supplement as set forth above in this
section. Unless required under applicable laws and SEC rules, in no event shall Seller be identified as a statutory underwriter in any
Registration Statement; provided, that if Seller is required to be so identified as a statutory underwriter
in a Registration Statement, Seller will have an opportunity to withdraw its Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement.
To the extent any Registration Statement must be declared effective, Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonably efforts to cause
such Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than thirty (30) calendar
days following the applicable Payment Date (or sixty (60) calendar days in the event of a full review by the SEC) (the “Effectiveness
Deadline”).
22
(g) Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to
keep such registration, and any qualification, exemption or compliance under state securities laws which Purchaser determines to obtain,
continuously effective with respect to Seller, and to keep the applicable Registration Statements or any subsequent shelf registration
statement free of any material misstatements or omissions, until the earlier of the following: (i) Seller ceases to hold any Registrable
Securities and (ii) the date all Registrable Securities held by Seller may be sold without restriction under Rule 144, including without
limitation, any volume and manner of sale restrictions which may be applicable to affiliates under Rule 144 and without the requirement
for Purchaser to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable).
(h) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Purchaser may suspend the use of any prospectus (a “Prospectus”)
included in any Registration Statement contemplated by this Section 3.3 in the event that the Purchaser’s board of directors
determines in good faith that such suspension is necessary to (A) delay the disclosure of material non-public information concerning Purchaser,
the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of the Purchaser’s board of directors, in the best interests
of the Purchaser or (B) amend or supplement the affected Registration Statement or the related Prospectus so that such Registration Statement
or Prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein, in the case of the Prospectus in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading (an “Allowed Registration Delay”); provided, that Purchaser shall promptly (a) notify Seller
in writing of the commencement of and the reasons for an Allowed Registration Delay, but shall not (without the prior written consent
of Seller) disclose to Seller any material non-public information giving rise to an Allowed Registration Delay, (b) advise Seller in writing
to cease all sales under the Registration Statement until the end of the Allowed Registration Delay and (c) use commercially reasonable
efforts to terminate an Allowed Registration Delay as promptly as practicable provided, however, that Purchaser shall not be entitled
to exercise an Allowed Registration Delay (i) more than twice in any twelve (12) month period, (ii) for a period exceeding thirty (30)
consecutive days on any single occasion, or (iii) for an aggregate of more than sixty (60) days in any twelve (12) month period.
23
(i) For the avoidance of doubt, the total number of Consideration Shares hereunder shall not exceed 19.9%
of the total number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the date hereof and if the Consideration Shares would
exceed 19.9% of the total number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock, the remainder of the Purchase Price shall be paid in cash.
(j) The Purchaser agrees that it shall render any reasonably necessary
assistance to the Seller to ensure the Seller receives freely tradable shares, including, without limitation, assisting the Seller in
transferring such shares from its transfer agent account to its designated broker account. Further, the Purchaser shall use its commercially
reasonably efforts to timely provide, or cause its counsel to provide, any legal opinions, Medallion signature guarantee waivers, and
any other documents, instruments, or information reasonably requested or required by the transfer agent to effectuate such transfer and
issuance, upon the Seller’s reasonable request.
3.4 Payment in full of each tranche of the Purchase Price in accordance with Section 3.2 (including,
where satisfied in whole or in part by the issuance of Consideration Shares, the issuance and delivery of the number of shares determined
in accordance with the applicable provision of Section 3.2 into Seller’ account with Purchaser’s transfer agent) shall
constitute full and final satisfaction and discharge of Purchaser's obligation in respect of such tranche, provided, however, that such
discharge shall not relieve Purchaser of its ongoing obligations under Section 3.3 with respect to such Consideration Shares.
3.5 The Option Premium and Purchase Price shall be paid free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding
for or on account of, withholding Taxes unless Purchaser is required applicable Law to make any such deduction or withholding. If any
deduction or withholding for or on account of Taxes is required by applicable Law from the Option Premium and Purchase Price, Purchaser
shall pay (or cause to be paid) to Seller such additional amount as will ensure that the net amount Seller receives equals the full amount
which it would have received had the deduction or withholding (and any deduction or withholding applicable to such additional amount)
not been required. Where any portion of the Option Premium and Purchase Price is satisfied by the issuance of Consideration Shares, Purchaser
shall not reduce the number of Consideration Shares issuable in respect of such portion on account of any required deduction or withholding
of any Taxes, and shall instead remit to the relevant Taxing Authority, in cash and for its own account, the full amount required to be
deducted or withheld in respect of such portion (as increased pursuant to this Section 3.5), and such remittance shall satisfy
Purchaser's obligations under this Section 3.5 in respect of such deduction or withholding. To the extent that Purchaser believes
withholding Taxes shall apply, Purchaser shall give Seller notice thereof and Purchaser and Seller shall work together in good faith to
mitigate such withholding (including the provision of any documentation reasonably requested by Purchaser pursuant to Section 3.7
that will permit payments made pursuant to this Agreement to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding). Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 3.5, no Tax gross-up shall be made for any payment for which Seller fails to provide reasonably
requested documentation that, if provided, would have eliminated or reduced the rate of withholding.
3.6 If Seller receives or is granted a refund, credit or repayment in respect of Taxes for which Purchaser
has paid an additional amount under Section 3.5 (or a credit against Taxes otherwise payable by it attributable to the relevant
deduction or withholding), Seller shall, promptly upon receipt or utilization, pay to Purchaser an amount equal to the lesser of (i) such
refund, credit or repayment (net of reasonable out-of-pocket costs of obtaining it and any Taxes imposed on its receipt) and (ii) the
additional amounts paid by Purchaser under Section 3.5 in respect of the relevant deduction or withholding, in each case such that
Seller is left in no better and no worse an after-Tax position than it would have been in had no such deduction or withholding been required.
Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to claim any refund, credit or repayment reasonably identified to it by Purchaser.
24
3.7 Seller shall provide Purchaser with all applicable tax documentation reasonably requested by Purchaser
on the date hereof, including a valid and properly executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, Form W-8BEN-E, or any other form or information
reasonably necessary to establish an exemption from, or reduction in, any applicable withholding tax obligations.
3.8 Any tranche of the Purchase Price that is not paid on the applicable Payment Date, including if the Acceleration
Amount is not paid on the Acceleration Date, shall accrue interest beginning the day after such Payment Date and continue until Seller
receives the full payment, at a rate of two percent (2%) per month, calculated daily on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed,
or the highest rate permitted by Law, whichever is less (the “Default Interest”).
3.9 If Purchaser fails to pay any tranche of the Purchase Price on the applicable Payment Date and Purchaser
does not pay such amount by the date falling five (5) Business Days after the applicable Payment Date (“Acceleration Date”),
any and all outstanding tranches of the Purchase Price, including any Default Interest calculated in accordance with Section 3.8
(together, the “Acceleration Amount”), shall become immediately due and payable.
3.10 For the purposes of this Section 3, the following capitalized terms shall have the meanings ascribed
to them below:
(a) “NYSE” means New York Stock Exchange.
(b) “Payment Date” means any of the First Payment Date, Second Payment Date, Third Payment
Date or Fourth Payment Date.
(c) “Purchaser Common Stock” means the common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Purchaser.
(d) “Purchaser Stock Price” means the product of (i) 0.85, and (ii) VWAP over the five
(5) full consecutive trading days ending two (2) Business Days prior to the applicable date of determination.
(e) “SEC” means Securities and Exchange Commission.
(f) “Securities Act” means the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

payroll, social security (or equivalent, including employer and employees’ contributions), employment, unemployment, disability,
excise, severance, stamp, occupation, premium, property (real, tangible or intangible), environmental or windfall profit tax, escheat
or unclaimed property, custom duty, tariff, or other tax, governmental fee or other like assessment or charge in the nature of a tax,
together with any interest or any penalty or addition to tax or additional amount (whether disputed or not) imposed by any Governmental
Authority responsible for the imposition of any such tax (domestic or foreign).
25
(h) “Taxing Authority” means any Governmental Authority having or purporting to exercise
jurisdiction with respect to any Tax, including with respect to the imposition, interpretation, assessment, or collection of any Tax.
(i) “VWAP” means the dollar volume–weighted average price for the shares of Purchaser

official close of trading), as reported by Bloomberg, L.P . through its “Volume at Price” function or if the foregoing does
not apply, the dollar volume–weighted average price of such security in the over-the-counter market on the electronic bulletin board
for such security during the period beginning at 9:30:01 a.m., New York time (or such other time as the NYSE publicly announces is the
official open of trading), and ending at 4:00:00 p.m., New York time (or such other time as the NYSE publicly announces is the official
close of trading), as reported by Bloomberg, L.P . If the VWAP cannot be calculated for the shares of Purchaser Common Stock on a particular
date on any of the foregoing basis, the VWAP of the shares of Purchaser Common Stock shall be the fair market value of the shares of Purchaser
Common Stock on such date as determined by Purchaser ’s board of directors in good faith.
4. Joint Venture Matters
4.1 From the date hereof until the Expiry Date, Parties shall negotiate in good faith to establish a joint
venture for the purposes of pursuing battery energy storage system (“BESS”) projects and opportunities outside of the
United States and holding the Sub-License, on terms set forth in this Section 4 and otherwise on terms reasonably acceptable to
both Parties.
4.2 Parties agree that Joint Venture shall be established through Photon Solar Pte. Ltd., a company established
under the laws of Singapore (“Joint Venture”), by way of the transfer by Seller to Purchaser, as part of the Contemplated
Transaction and for no additional consideration, of 90% of the issued and outstanding shares of Joint Venture, such that, upon completion
of such transfer (the “JV Establishment”), Purchaser shall own 90% and Seller shall own 10% of the issued and outstanding
shares of Joint Venture. At or prior to the JV Establishment, Parties shall enter into a shareholders' agreement in respect of the Joint
Venture on terms reasonably acceptable to both Parties. JV Establishment shall be subject to completion of due diligence by Purchaser,
satisfactory to Purchaser, in its sole discretion.

in accordance with this Call Option Letter, grant to Joint Venture a royalty-free, fully paid-up, worldwide, irrevocable, sub-licensable
sub-license under the license granted to Seller pursuant to the 5GW License (the “Sub-License”), for the activities
licensed under the 5GW License pursuant to a sublicense agreement reasonably acceptable to Purchaser (the “Sub-License Agreement”)
and in accordance with Section 1.3, including the potential deferral contemplated thereunder, and (ii) contribute, or cause to
be contributed, to the Joint Venture such projects and opportunities in the BESS industry as Parties may agree in writing, on terms to
be agreed between Parties.
4.4 For the avoidance of doubt, the execution of the Sub-License Agreement shall be subject to and conditional
upon the JV Establishment having occurred, provided that Purchaser’s delivery of the Call Option Exercise Notice shall not be, in
any way, conditional upon this Section 4; in the event that the Call Option Exercise Notice is delivered before the JV Establishment,
the Purchaser shall defer the execution of the Sub-License in accordance with Section 1.3.
26
4.5 Seller shall use its best efforts to negotiate and adopt, as soon as practicable following the date hereof,
such amendments to the 5GW License as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser (including such amendments that in Purchaser’s reasonable
discretion are necessary to comply with applicable Laws). Seller shall (i) consult with Purchaser and keep Purchaser reasonably informed
of the status of such negotiations, (ii) consider drafts from Purchaser and provide Purchaser with drafts of any proposed amendments to
5GW License reasonably in advance of their adoption, and (iii) not agree to, adopt or permit any amendment, waiver, termination or assignment
of, or under, 5GW License, without Purchaser's prior written consent.
4.6 Purchaser may, at any time, in its sole discretion, by written notice to Seller (a “Sub-License
Abandonment Notice”), elect to abandon the Sub-License, whereupon, with effect from the date of the Sub-License Abandonment
Notice: (i) all obligations of the Parties with respect to the 5GW License, grant of the Sub-License and the execution and delivery of
the Sub-License Agreement, shall terminate and be of no further force or effect; and (ii) Purchaser's right to defer execution of the
Sub-License, and the Sub-License Execution Date, shall lapse. For the avoidance of doubt, the delivery of a Sub-License Abandonment Notice
shall not affect (x) the JV Establishment or any other obligation of the Parties under this Section 4 (other than as set forth
in this Section 4.6), (y) the Call Option, the Contemplated Transaction or the IP Purchase Agreement, or (z) the amount or timing
of payment of the Purchase Price.
5. EXCLUSIVITY
By countersigning this Call Option Letter,
Seller undertakes for the duration of the Call Option not to take any action to, and to procure (so far as it lies within its powers)
that the Affiliates of Seller do not, until the Expiry Date:
(a) enter into any contract, arrangement or understanding for selling, or take any other action to transfer,
by any means (including by sale, lease, merger, contribution, disposal, reorganization or otherwise), all or part of the Purchased Assets
or other than the Contemplated Transaction (any of the foregoing being referred to as an “Alternative Sale Transaction”);
(b) enter into any contract, arrangement or understanding for sublicensing the license under the 5GW License,
other than the Contemplated Transaction (an “Alternative Sublicense Transaction”, together with the Alternative Sale
Transaction, an “Alternative Transaction”); or
(c) initiate, solicit, pursue or participate in, any discussions or negotiations that constitute, solicit
or encourage an Alternative Transaction.
6. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
6.1 Each party represents and warrants to the other, in respect of itself, that:
(a) it is duly organized and validly existing under the Laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized;
(b) it has the power and authority to enter into this Call Option Letter and to perform its obligations hereunder;
(c) the execution of this Call Option Letter has been duly authorized by all relevant corporate bodies and
no other corporate action is necessary on its part to authorize the execution of this Call Option Letter; and
(d) this Call Option Letter has been duly executed by it on the date hereof and constitutes legal, valid and
binding obligations upon it, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.
27
6.2 Seller hereby represents and warrants to Purchaser as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, that:
(a) Seller is an “institutional accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or
(7) under the Securities Act (the “Institutional Accredited Investors”). Seller acknowledges that it is informed as
to the risks of the ownership of the Consideration Shares and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that
it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such ownership, and is able to bear the economic risk of such ownership for an indefinite
period of time. Seller has been furnished access to such information and documents as it has requested and has been afforded an opportunity
to ask questions of and receive answers from representatives of Purchaser concerning the issuance of the Consideration Shares; and
(b) Seller (i) is acquiring the Consideration Shares only for its own account or for one or more separate
accounts maintained by it for the benefit of one or more other Institutional Accredited Investors and not with a view to the distribution
thereof in violation of the securities laws, provided that the disposition of such Purchaser’s property shall at all times
be within such Purchaser’s control, and (iii) is not acquiring the Consideration Shares with a view to, or for offer or sale in
connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act or other applicable securities laws. Seller acknowledges
and agrees that the Consideration Shares are being offered in a transaction not involving any public offering within the meaning of the
Securities Act and that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and that Purchaser is not required to register
the sale of the Securities hereunder. Seller further represents and warrants that it (a) will not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose
of the Consideration Shares or any interest therein except in a registered transaction or in a transaction exempt from or not subject
to the registration requirements of the Securities Act and (b) was given the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning
the terms and conditions of the offering and to obtain any additional information which the Purchaser possesses or can acquire without
unreasonable effort or expense. Seller acknowledges that the Consideration Shares will contain a restrictive legend substantially in the
form set forth in Section 3.3(d) above. Seller acknowledges and agrees that the Consideration Shares will be subject to these securities
law transfer restrictions, and as a result of these transfer restrictions, Seller may not be able to readily offer, resell, transfer,

Exhibit 99.1
News
Release
T1 Announces Acquisition of Advanced
Solar Intellectual Property Rights from Evervolt
AUSTIN,
Texas and NEW YORK, July 28, 2026 -- T1 Energy Inc. (NYSE: TE) (“T1,” “T1 Energy,” or the “Company”)
announced this morning that it has acquired foundational solar patents and other intellectual property
(“IP”) and other assets from Singapore-based Evervolt Green Energy Holding Pte Ltd. (“Evervolt”) for a total
consideration of $135 million. The patents, which T1 had previously licensed from Evervolt, relate to Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact
(“TOPCon”) solar cells and modules, which T1 believes is the most advanced, highly efficient commercially viable solar technology
available.
Under the agreed
terms of the transaction, T1 initially paid $2 million in cash to secure the right to acquire the IP and other assets. The remaining
$133 million purchase price is payable in four installments: (i) $60 million due
within three business days of closing on July 28, 2026 (the “First Tranche”), (ii) $25 million due September 30, 2026, (iii)
$30 million due October 15, 2026, and (iv) $18 million due October 30, 2026. T1 currently intends to satisfy the First Tranche by the
issuance of shares of T1 common stock. Each installment subsequent to the First Tranche is payable, at T1’s sole election, in cash or
shares of T1 common stock or a combination thereof. Any issuance of T1 common stock would be done at a 15% discount to a five trading
day volume weighted average trading price during a window ending prior to the date of issuance.
“Owning the
intellectual property rights to leading silicon-based solar technologies is an important step to differentiate T1’s competitive
position as a vertically integrated crystalline silicon U.S. solar manufacturer,” commented Dan Barcelo, Chairman and CEO of T1
Energy. “We also believe that this intellectual property will be accretive to T1 economically in addition to yielding significant
commercial and strategic benefits.”
The
acquisition of the IP provides an important economic benefit to T1, as it eliminates future royalty payments now that T1 owns and
controls the IP it previously licensed from Evervolt. This acquisition advances T1’s strategy to build America’s first
fully integrated domestic silicon-based solar supply chain.
