DIVESTITURE OF MODULE FAB IN KOREA
The Company decided to dispose its ownership interest of module fab located in Eumseong, Korea to Hanwha Q CELLS Korea Corporation, which is an affiliate of the Company and the current owner and operator of GW-scale cell fab in Jincheon, Korea.
The Parties have reached an agreement of the terms and valuation of the transaction, and it is expected to close before the end of the second quarter of 2016 subject to final approval by the boards and necessary regulatory approvals. Once consummated, Hanwha Q CELLS Korea Corporation will assume all outstanding assets and liabilities of the disposed module fab and the Company will receive cash proceeds of approximately $57 million subject to final approval by a special committee of the Board of Directors of the Company comprised of independent directors.
The Company expects following two key strategic benefits from this divestiture:
| · | Full optimization of manufacturing cost structure and operational efficiency by combining closely related cell and module manufacturing operations, both located in Korea, under a single entity, which are currently operated by two different companies. |
| · | Improved liquidity and cash proceeds will be used to fund the Company’s key strategic initiatives to further strengthen its core competencies including R&D investment and global expansion of sales and marketing operations. |

Business Outlook
The Company provides the following guidance based on current operating trends and market conditions.
For the second quarter of 2016, the Company expects:

| · | Module shipments of 4,800 to 5,000 GW, up from previous guidance range of 4,500 to 4,700 MW. |
| · | Revenue-recognized module shipments in range of 4,600 to 4,800 MW. |

Mr. Seong-woo Nam, Chairman and CEO of Hanwha Q CELLS, commented, “With a successful turnaround year behind us, we started 2016 with the right strategic elements in place to meet growing demands for our products and to further strengthen our technology and quality leadership.”
Mr. Nam continued “With our cell and module capacity expansion is nearing completion in South Korea and Malaysia, we are delivering high quality products to increase our market share in both OECD countries and emerging markets.” Mr. Nam added “The rollout of Q.ANTUM product lines from our fabs in South Korea and Malaysia will help us increase our market share in key strategic markets with high power class products.”
“One of the top strategic initiatives of 2016 is to improve our capital structure and to make strategic investments in areas that will fuel the Company’s full growth potential,” Mr. Nam remarked. “Our net debt to equity ratio has improved to 232% as of March 31, 2016 from 365% as of March 31, 2015,” and he also added “The decision to dispose our module fab in Korea to Hanwha Q CELLS Korea Corporation is our continuing implementation of asset-light strategy to deploy financial resources in the areas to strengthen our core competencies rather than having such resources locked up with fixed assets.”
Mr. Nam concluded by noting “Despite recent market concerns over 2H outlook, our outlook for the remainder of 2016 is robust based on our sales backlog. We will continue to focus executing on our strategy and increasing our market share so that we can deliver our improved performance consistently with high visibility.”
