Exhibit 99.1

SPI Energy Announces Full Repayment of Convertible Promissory Note

SANTA CLARA, CA / April 1, 2021 -- SPI Energy Co., Ltd. ("SPI Energy" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: SPI), a global renewable energy company and provider of solar storage and electric vehicle (EV) solutions for business, residential, government, logistics and utility customers and investors, today announced that it has fully paid in cash US$13.4 million owed under the Convertible Promissory Note issued to Union Sky Holding Group Limited (“Union Sky”) by the Company in December 2014 (the "CB"). As a result, the CB is now terminated, and the Company has no further obligations thereunder.

In December 2014, the Company entered into the convertible promissory note purchase agreement with Union Sky Holding Group Limited (“Union Sky”), whereby the Company agreed to sell and issue to Union Sky convertible promissory note in an aggregate principal amount of $20 million bearing no interest. As announced, several amendments were made and on October 8, 2020, the Company entered into an amendment agreement with respect to the CB with Magical Glaze Limited (”MGL”), a company under common control of Union Sky. Under the terms of the agreement, the repayment was split into two tranches, with the first tranche of US$6.6 million paid on October 8, 2020. Upon the Company’s repayment of the second US$13.4 million tranche, the CB was terminated.

Xiaofeng Peng, Chairman and CEO of SPI Energy, commented, “With the recent closing of our registered direct offering, we have greatly improved our balance sheet and working capital position. Immediately eliminating the convertible debenture in its entirety removes a large liability on our balance sheet and prevents new potentially onerous penalty and security provisions. We are thrilled to have eliminated this risk for our shareholders."

"Repayment of these debentures fulfills one important objective in our go-forward plan and, importantly, allows SPI to be well-positioned to enact its new growth strategy in a self-sustainable manner."
