The Subscription Price represents:
- (i) a discount of approximately 20.48% to the closing price of HK$0.83 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on 8 January 2016, being the last trading day before the date of the Subscription Agreements;
– 5 –

The Directors are of the opinion that the Subscription Price is fair and reasonable and is in the best interest of the Company and the Shareholders.
Ranking
The Subscription Shares will, when fully paid, rank pari passu in all respects with the existing issued Shares of the Company upon issuance.
Conditions Precedent
Completion of each of the Subscriptions shall be conditional on:
-
(i) there shall not have occurred any material breach of any representation, warranty or undertaking given by the Company in the respective Subscription Agreements (or any such representation, warranty or undertaking is otherwise rendered inaccurate, untrue or misleading in any material respect) at and as of the Closing Date;
-
(ii) satisfaction and compliance with the applicable requirements under the Listing Rules regarding the Subscription, including the passing of resolution(s) by the Shareholders to approve the respective Subscription Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder and the grant of the Specific Mandates for the allotment and issue of the Subscription Shares, at the EGM; and

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

For the avoidance of doubts, the Subscriptions under the Subscription Agreements are not inter-conditional to each other. In the event that only GF Holding shall proceed with the subscription of the 672,900,231 Subscription Shares pursuant to the GF Holding Subscription Agreement, the Company do not expect GF Holding will trigger the Takeovers Code on the basis that the Company has the right to unilaterally terminate the GF Holding Subscription Agreement if the allotment and issue of the Subscription Shares to GF Holding would lead to circumstances where GF Holding would hold 30% or more of the Company’s issued share capital immediately after the Completion. Please refer to the sub-section headed ‘‘Termination’’ below for further details.

-
(iv) material breach by the Company of any provision of the respective Subscription Agreements.
– 7 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
In addition, pursuant to the GF Holding Subscription Agreement, the Company has the right to unilaterally terminate the GF Holding Subscription Agreement if the allotment and issue of the Subscription Shares to GF Holding would lead to the circumstance where GF Holding would hold 30.00% or more of the Company’s issued share capital immediately after the Completion. In the event that GF Holding would hold 30% or more of the Company’s issued share capital immediately after the Completion, the Company intends to exercise the right to terminate the GF Holding Subscription Agreement and/or enter into further negotiation with GF Holding and Mr. Li for possible amendments to the terms of their investment. Accordingly, the Company do not expect there would a change of control.
In the event that the Subscribers or the Company terminate the respective Subscription Agreements in accordance with provisions as set out above, the further rights and obligations of the parties to the respective Subscription Agreements shall cease immediately on termination, except that clauses relating to costs and taxes, confidentiality, announcement, notices, applicable law and jurisdiction shall survive the termination of the respective Subscription Agreements and shall continue in full force in effect. Termination does not affect a party’s accrued rights and obligations as at the date of termination.
Lockup Undertaking

REASONS FOR THE SUBSCRIPTION AND USE OF PROCEEDS
As of the Latest Practicable Date, the Group was principally engaged in the manufacture and sales of solar wafers and related products and provision of processing service for solar products and was one of the few PRC-based solar companies with sizeable overseas production facilities. As part of the strategy of the Company, the production facilities of the Company in Malaysia have been in production and the Company expects the production cost to be reduced accordingly. To further reduce the production cost and enhance competitiveness of the Company on cost reduction, the Company may further increase the production capacity of the manufacturing facilities in Malaysia. Save as disclosed, the Company intends to maintain the existing business of the Group.
In addition, the Company intends to explore opportunities with the expansion into the downstream solar business to integrate with existing upstream solar business of the Group. The Company plans to invest for approximately 200 megawatt downstream solar projects within 2016. Depending on and subject to the market conditions and opportunities, the Company contemplates the investment to be either in the form of green field self-developed projects and/ or by way of acquisitions of downstream projects. As of the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has yet to make any capital commitments or identify any acquisition targets.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The Board believes that the Subscriptions would be beneficial to the Company in the following aspects:
Strengthen the financial position of the Company
The Boards intends to use the net proceeds for expanding into downstream solar power business and explore opportunities to integrate with existing upstream solar business of the Group. Under prevailing market conditions, the Board believes that the Subscriptions will strengthen the financial position of the Company and provide financial resources to fund and support the Group’s expansion into the downstream solar power business.
Broaden the shareholder base of the Company with strategic value
The Board considers that, while broadening the shareholder base of the company, the Subscriptions represent a valuable opportunity for the Company to bring in renowned investors with strong financial resources and background and wide business network, which in turn would bring strategic value to the Company.
The Board believes that by leveraging on the investors’ strong expertise, experience and business network in the financial and energy sectors, the Company will be well-equipped to continue to grow and expand its business. In particular, the Board believes that the investors could contribute their strong experiences and business networks to enable the Company to identify potential project opportunities. Furthermore, the investors could also contribute their expertises and business networks to exploring financial institutions for project financing and negotiating with financial institutions for obtaining financing terms which would be more suited to the needs of the Company in downstream solar projects. More importantly, their profound experiences in the financial and energy sectors would be of value to the Company in formulating the strategies of the Company to expand into the downstream solar business.
The Board considers the terms of the Subscription Agreements, which have been negotiated on an arm’s length basis on normal commercial terms, are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the shareholders as a whole.
The net proceeds from the Subscriptions (after deducting related professional fees and related expenses) are expected to be approximately HK$611.13 million. On the basis of plan of the Company as set out above, the Directors intend to use the net proceeds in the following manner:
| Approximate amount of | |
|---|---|
| Use of proceeds | net proceeds |
| Expansion into downstream solar power business, including | HK$488.9 million |
| investment in green field self-developed projects and/or by | or 80.0% |
| way of acquisitions of downstream projects | |
| General working capital of the Company | HK$122.23 million |
| or 20.0% |
