A press release regarding the completion of sale of previously-written off $100 million face-value USD 3-month LCMNER Index-Linked Note for a cash consideration of $34.6 million by JA Solar Holding Co., Ltd. (the “Registrant”), made by the Registrant in English on December 6, 2010.
JA Solar Announces Sales of Lehman LCMNER Index-Linked
Note for Cash Consideration of US$34.6 Million
SHANGHAI, Dec. 6, 2010 -- JA Solar Holdings Co., Ltd., (Nasdaq: JASO), one of the world’s largest manufacturers of high-performance solar cells and solar power products, today announced that it has completed the sales of its previously-written off $100 million face-value USD 3-month LCMNER Index-Linked Note (“Lehman Notes") for a cash consideration of $34.6 million.
The sale of the Lehman Notes was conducted through a competitive bidding process with multiple bidders. JA Solar had previously recorded a $100 million impairment loss against the investments in the third quarter of 2008. As a result, a $34.6 million gain will be recorded in the fourth quarter financial report and the impact to the fourth quarter 2010 EPS is estimated to be $0.21.
The $100 million worth of USD 3-Month LCMNER Index-Linked Note was issued by Lehman Brothers Treasury Co. B.V. incorporated in The Netherlands, guaranteed by Lehman. As a result of the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers and its affiliates, JA Solar had previously recorded a $100 million impairment adjustment against this investment.
