JinkoSolar's Subsidiary Jiangxi Jinko Proposed to Offer and List up to 1,000,519,986 A Shares in the Form of GDRs on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange in Germany

 

10/21/2024

 

SHANGRAO, China, Oct. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd. ("JinkoSolar" or the "Company") (NYSE: JKS), one of the largest and most innovative solar module manufacturers in the world, today announced that Jinko Solar Co., Ltd. ("Jiangxi Jinko"), its majority-owned principal operating subsidiary, intends to issue an aggregate of up to 1,000,519,986 A shares (the "Shares"), RMB1.0 par value per Share, in the form of Global Depositary Receipts ("GDRs") (including Shares issued as a result of the exercise of any over-allotment option, if any) (the "GDR Offering"). Each GDR represents 10 Shares. Jiangxi Jinko intends to apply for listing the GDRs on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange in Germany. The size of the GDR Offering is subject to market conditions and may be adjusted by Jiangxi Jinko's board of directors (subject to authorization from its shareholders at the shareholders' meeting).

 

The GDRs will represent not more than 10% of the total share capital of Jiangxi Jinko prior to this offering. JinkoSolar currently owns approximately 58.59% equity interest in Jiangxi Jinko. Following the GDR Offering, JinkoSolar will own approximately 53.26% equity interest in Jiangxi Jinko (calculated assuming 1,000,519,986 Shares will be issued in the GDR Offering).

 

The gross proceeds from the GDR Offering are expected to be not more than RMB4.5 billion (or its equivalent in foreign currencies), which, after deducting offering expenses, will be used for (i) construction and development of 1 GW High-efficiency Module Project in the U.S., (ii) construction and development of Shanxi Phase II 14 GW Integrated Production Base Project for manufacturing of monocrystalline silicon pull rod, silicon wafer, high-efficiency solar cells and modules, and (iii) working capital or repayment of bank loans for Jiangxi Jinko. The use of proceeds raised is subject to the disclosure in the offering document or other registration documents.

 

The completion of the GDR Offering is subject to the approval of Jiangxi Jinko's shareholders, the approvals by the Shanghai Stock Exchange, Frankfurt Stock Exchange and the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority in Germany, and the registration process by the China Securities Regulatory Commission. Jiangxi Jinko cannot guarantee its ability to successfully complete the listing of the GDRs, the related timeline or the actual size and pricing of the GDR Offering.
