Exhibit 2.1

SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER AND REORGANIZATION

This SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER AND REORGANIZATION (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of October 30, 2015, by and among Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation (“SPI”), SPI Energy Co., Ltd., an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and a wholly owned subsidiary of SPI (“SPI Energy”), and SPI Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of SPI Energy (“SPI Merger Sub”).

RECITALS

1. The Boards of Directors of each of SPI, SPI Energy and SPI Merger Sub have unanimously determined that it is advisable and in the best interests of their respective shareholders or stockholders to reorganize so that SPI Energy will become the parent of SPI Merger Sub as a result of the merger of SPI with and into SPI Merger Sub (the “Merger”) in which SPI Merger Sub will survive and change its name to Solar Power, Inc., a Delaware corporation;

2. The respective Boards of Directors of SPI, SPI Energy and SPI Merger Sub have each unanimously approved the Merger, this Agreement and, to the extent applicable, the other transactions described herein, pursuant to which SPI Merger Sub will be the surviving corporation of the Merger and will remain a wholly owned subsidiary of SPI Energy, all upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and whereby each issued and outstanding share of common stock, par value US$0.0001 per share, of SPI (“SPI common stock”) shall be converted into the right to receive one ordinary share, par value US$0.000001 per share, of SPI Energy (a “SPI Energy ordinary share”);

3. The Merger requires, among other things, the approval of this Agreement by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of SPI common stock; and

4. The parties intend that the Merger qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and that this Agreement shall be, and is hereby, adopted as a “plan of reorganization” for purposes of Section 368(a) of the Code or, alternatively, that the contribution of shares of SPI to SPI Merger Sub by shareholders of SPI will qualify as a tax-free exchange within the meaning of Section 351 of the Code.

5. Whereas the parties originally entered into this Agreement on May 8, 2015, amended and restated it on September 29, 2015, and wish to further amend and restate it to reflect certain changes made to the exchange of American Depository Shares for SPI common stock as discussed herein.

Section 3.1. Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of any shares of either SPI or SPI Energy:

(a) Conversion of SPI Share; Issuance of SPI Energy Ordinary Share. Each issued and outstanding share of SPI common stock (other than any shares of SPI common stock that are “Dissenting Shares” as defined in Section 3.3) shall be automatically converted into the right to receive one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable SPI Energy ordinary share.

(b) Issuance of American Depository Share. In lieu of issuing SPI Energy ordinary shares, American Depository Shares (“ADSs”) will be issued, with each one ADS representing ten SPI Energy ordinary shares, to holders of issued and outstanding share of SPI common stock (other than any shares of SPI common stock that are “Dissenting Shares” as defined in Section 3.3) acquired prior to the time when the registration statement on Form F-4 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by SPI Energy in connection with the offer and issuance of SPI Energy ordinary shares to be issued pursuant to the Merger becomes effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. No fraction of an ADS shall be issued by virtue of the Merger, but in lieu thereof each holder of shares of SPI common stock who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of an ADS in connection with the Merger (after aggregating all fractional ADS to be received by such holder) shall receive from the exchange agent the net proceeds the exchange agent will receive from sale of the aggregate of those fractional ADSs. Holders of ADS will have the rights set forth in accordance with the deposit agreement.

SPI shall assign, and SPI Energy shall assume, SPI’s rights and obligations under the stock-based benefit and compensation plans and programs and agreements providing for the grant or award of restricted stock, stock units, stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance shares, performance units, dividend equivalent rights and share awards to the employees, directors and consultants of SPI and its affiliates (collectively, the “Stock Plans”) in accordance with Article IV of this Agreement. To the extent a Stock Plan provides for awards of incentive stock options pursuant to Section 422 of the Code, approval of such plan by SPI, as the sole shareholder of SPI Energy, shall be deemed, as of the Effective Time, to constitute approval of the members of SPI Energy for purposes of Section 422(b) of the Code.

(f) Convertible Securities. SPI shall assign, and SPI Energy shall assume, SPI’s rights and obligations under its securities, including but not limited to convertible debentures, warrants and options, that may be convertible into or exercisable into SPI common stock.

Section 3.2. Exchange of SPI Energy Shares.

(a) Uncertificated Shares. At the Effective Time, each outstanding share of SPI common stock held in uncertificated, book entry form will be exchanged for one SPI Energy ordinary share without further act or deed by the holder thereof, and record of such ownership shall be kept in uncertificated, book entry form by SPI Energy’s transfer agent.

(b) Certificated Shares. At the Effective Time, each outstanding share of SPI common stock held in certificated form will be converted into the right to receive one SPI Energy ordinary share without further act or deed by the holder thereof, and the holder thereof will cease to be, and will have no rights as, a shareholder of SPI. Following the consummation of the Merger, SPI’s exchange agent will send a letter of transmittal to each such holder, explaining the procedure for surrendering such holder’s SPI common stock certificates in exchange for ADS or SPI Energy ordinary share. No fractional ADS shall be issued in accordance with Section 3.1(b).

Other that Dissenters’ rights pursuant to Section 3.3 below, at the Effective Time, holders of SPI common stock will cease to be, and will have no rights as, shareholders of SPI, other than the right to receive: (i) any dividend or other distribution with a record date prior to the Effective Time that may have been declared or made by SPI on such shares of SPI common stock in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or prior to the date of this Agreement and that remain unpaid at the Effective Time, and (ii) the ADSs or SPI Energy ordinary shares pursuant to Section 3.1(b). After the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the shares of SPI common stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. Upon and after the Effective Time, registered shareholders in SPI Energy’s register of members will have and be entitled to exercise any voting and other rights with respect to and to receive any dividend and other distributions upon SPI Energy ordinary shares registered in their respective names in the register of members.

Section 3.3. Dissenters’ Rights. Holders of SPI common stock who exercise their rights in accordance with Chapter 13 under the CGCL will be entitled to dissenters’ rights in connection with the Merger.

ARTICLE IV
