Securities class action lawsuit resulting from allegations of incorrect inventory reporting by the former financial controller of the Founding Entity

In October 2007, the Founding Entity’s former finance controller, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, alleged that the Founding Entity incorrectly reported its inventories of silicon feedstock. As a result of Mr. Situ’s allegations, several securities class action lawsuits were filed against the Founding Entity and several of the Founding Entity’s current officers and directors during October 2007 in the U.S. District Courts in the Northern District of California and the Southern District of New York. Those actions were consolidated into a single action, pending in the Northern District of California, entitled In re LDK Solar Sec. Litig., ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇. ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇. The complaint sought substantial monetary damages on behalf of a class of persons who purchased the Founding Entity’s securities from June 1, 2007 to October 7, 2007 and alleged that the Founding Entity overstated its inventory, among other things. In response to Mr. Situ’s allegations, in October 2007, The Founding Entity formed an internal committee to investigate the allegations and conduct an immediate physical inventory count of its polysilicon materials. The Founding Entity found no material discrepancies as compared to its financial records. Additionally, the independent directors of the Founding Entity’s audit committee conducted an independent investigation into the allegations made by Mr. Situ. The independent investigation was primarily conducted by the Founding Entity’s audit committee’s independent counsel, a major U.S. law firm, and forensic accountants from a “big four” independent accounting firm that was separate from the Founding Entity’s external auditors, as well as independent experts in the evaluation of silicon feedstock and the manufacturing of multicrystalline solar wafers. The independent investigation found no material errors in the Founding Entity’s stated silicon inventory quantities as of August 31, 2007, and concluded that Mr. Situ’s allegations of an inventory discrepancy were incorrect because he had not taken into account all locations where the Founding Entity stored its silicon feedstock. The independent investigation further concluded that the Founding Entity were using each of its various types of silicon feedstock in the manufacturing of its multicrystalline solar wafers, and that a provision for obsolete or excess silicon feedstock was not required.

On February 16, 2010, The Founding Entity submitted a proposed settlement agreement to the court, and the court granted preliminary approval of the settlement on February 17, 2010. The settlement is not final until the class receives notice of the settlement and the court grants final approval of the settlement terms. Under the terms of the agreement, all of the claims in the lawsuits will be dismissed with prejudice. The Founding Entity will receive a complete release of all the claims alleged. The settlement agreement expressly states that it does

not include any finding that the Founding Entity committed any wrongful act. The Founding Entity continues to believe that the allegations are without merit. As part of the settlement terms, The Founding Entity and its insurance carrier will pay a total of $16 million to compensate the class members and to cover all legal and administrative expenses.

In addition, several of the Founding Entity’s officers and directors are defendants in another lawsuit, pending in California Superior Court, Santa ▇▇▇▇▇ County, entitled ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ v. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, et al., Case No. 108CV103758. This derivative lawsuit alleges claims of breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment based on the same allegations contained in the securities lawsuit, repeating Mr. Situ’s allegations that the feedstock inventory was overstated, and seeks damages in an unspecified amount on behalf of the Founding Entity. This lawsuit is at its early stage, and the Founding Entity’s officers and directors have not responded to the complaint. Several directors of PV Silicon and LDK Solar Polysilicon, namely ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, Xinxue Tong, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, Liangbao Zhu, who are also directors and officers of the Founding Entity, are defendants in this lawsuit.

Details in connection with aforesaid litigations can be found in the Annual Report of the Founding Entity on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 and subsequent SEC filings.
