REC Silicon - Delay Moses Lake shutdown decision until July 15

Fornebu, Norway - June 13, 2019: REC Silicon ASA previously announced that the

FBR facility in Moses Lake, Washington would be placed in a long-term shutdown

by June 30, 2019 if access to polysilicon markets in China was not restored.

The Company's Board of Directors has decided to delay placing the FBR facility

in a long-term shutdown until July 15, 2019. This delay will enable the Company

the time necessary to evaluate any developments which may indicate the re-

opening of solar grade polysilicon markets in China as a result of expected

talks between the United States and China at the G20 summit in Osaka, Japan on

June 28 - 29, 2019.

Production at the FBR facility was curtailed in mid-May as previously announced

by the Company.

Additional information regarding the shutdown of the FBR facility will be

provided with the Company's second quarter earnings release on July 25, 2019.
