Shares of SunPower Corporation (SPWR, Financial) and First Solar, Inc. (FSLR, Financial) surged more than 12% and 9% respectively in extended-hours trading on Monday, following the announcement that the companies are in advanced negotiations to form a joint YieldCo vehicle (a holding company that pays dividends with a high yield) to which each firm would contribute a portfolio of selected solar generation assets from their existing portfolios.

Upon the execution of a master formation agreement between the companies, SPWR and FSLR intend to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for an initial public offering of limited partner interests in the YieldCo (IPO).

SPWR and FSLR said that formation of the YieldCo and completion of the IPO are subject to, among other things, the execution of definitive documentation, each party's board approval and regulatory approval, and there is no assurance that the YieldCo will be formed or that the IPO will be consummated or that any other transaction will occur.
