The sale of 12 million ordinary shares to Fulai represents the second tranche of the two companies’ 17 milllion share purchase agreement signed on 21 January 2013.

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.
