Chaori Solar’s Initial Public Offering on Shenzhen Stock Exchange

Shanghai | Posted on January 5th, 2011

66 million shares were sold on the open market with a price of 36 RMB* per share, amounting to a total of 2.376 billion RMB. After listing, the earning per share (EPS) is 0.62 RMB.

The capital raised from the IPO** will be used to fund the following initiatives:

Firstly, to set up a new production line for 100MW polycrystalline cells (ingot to cell) in Luoyang and 50MW monocrystalline cells (wafer to cell) in Shanghai.

Secondly, to expand the capacity of modules by 100MW. The new capacity in 2011 will increase to 500MW. Expanding the cells and modules will not only resolve difficulties with supply to the cells, but will also meet the increasing needs of clients - thereby overcoming two significant obstacles for the company's development.

Thirdly, to develop the R&D*** centre. With more financial support, Chaori Solar will improve the existing manufacturing equipment and promote the research of new products, which gives Chaori Solar competitive strength on the market.

Fourthly, increasing the essential circulating capital, thus improving solvency and financial conditions.

Lastly, this IPO will help Chaori Solar extend the business of building solar park structures (wider projects than traditional solar sales) and, therefore, become a fully vertically integrated solar company through the integration of the upstream value chain.
