Under the first transaction, LDK Solar sold 5 million shares to the investment firm at a price of $1.83 each.
As part of this second transaction, LDK Solar has sold its remaining 12 million newly issued shares to Fulai Investments for US$1.28 each, a discount of around 30%.
Now that the full transaction has been closed, Fulai Investments has the right to designate two non-executive directors to the LDK Solar board.
LDK Solar will use the financial proceeds for “general corporate purposes” in the company’s operations.
