Jiashan,
China: ReneSola Terminates Dynamic Green Energy Acquisition
ReneSola
today announced that the Company has determined not to proceed
with its acquisition of Dynamic Green Energy Limited.
ReneSola
and Dynamic Green, which operates through its wholly owned subsidiary
Jiawei Solarchina Co., Ltd. and other Chinese operating subsidiaries,
announced a share purchase agreement on September 23, 2009 under
which ReneSola agreed to acquire 100% of the shares of Dynamic
Green, subject to customary closing conditions.
While
the acquisition and share purchase agreement were approved by
both companies' boards of directors, the transaction has not been
approved by local government agencies where an operating subsidiary
of Jiawei is located. According to the terms of an agreement between
Jiawei and the local government, the sale of shares of Dynamic
Green requires relevant government approvals.
As
indicated in the share purchase agreement between ReneSola and
Dynamic Green, the transaction could be terminated without penalty
if Jiawei did not obtain the relevant government approvals by
December 31, 2009. After careful consideration, ReneSola has terminated
discussions regarding the acquisition.
"Despite
the termination of the Jiawei acquisition, ReneSola's downstream
strategy remains intact and we continue to witness impressive
organic growth in our JC Solar cell and module business," said
ReneSola's Chief Executive Officer Li Xianshou. "We are still
in a strong position to leverage our wafer manufacturing capabilities
and deep customer relationships to quickly expand our downstream
business. We expect to see significant top-line and bottom-line
growth from our downstream business in 2010."
