The Company received aggregate net proceeds of approximately $142 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to repurchase up to $30 million of its 4.00% convertible senior notes due 2013 and to fund facilities expansion and other general corporate purposes. The Company’s management will retain broad discretion over the use of proceeds, and the Company may ultimately use the proceeds for different purposes.
In July 2009, the Company borrowed approximately $80 million in loans due on June 30, 2010 from a domestic bank to support its East Campus capacity expansion project. The loans bear an average annual interest rate of 5.23%, payable monthly, and are dominated in Euros, U.S. dollars and Renminbi. The loans are expected to become a part of a five-year project financing arrangement that the Company is finalizing with domestic banks.
As of July 31, 2009, the Company’s total credit lines increased to approximately $676 million, which includes approximately $230 million of unused available credit line.
Third Quarter and Full Year Guidance
For the third quarter of 2009, the Company expects to ship between 90 MW to 110 MW of PV modules. The Company believes gross margin for the third quarter of 2009 will likely be between 23.5% and 26.5%.

In addition to improving its module output and low manufacturing cost platform efficiencies, the Company’s technology roadmap includes further enhancement of its Building Integrated PV (BIPV) module product lines, as well as targeted application products offering architecturally friendly design advantages and others for industry-specific use applications.
Cell and Module Capacity
Through yield increases achieved from improved cell conversion efficiency rates, improved production efficiencies and manufacturing line enhancements, the Company is on target to increase its annualized in-house production capacities of PV cells and modules from the current 400 MW to approximately 450 MW by the end of September 2009. Furthermore, the Company expects to increase approximately 150 MW of additional capacity as part of its new East Campus capacity expansion initiative, achieving a total annualized cell and module production capacity of 600 MW by the end of 2009.
