EXPLANATORY NOTE
This report on Form 6-K/A amends Yingli Green Energy Holding Company Limited (the “Company”)’s report on Form 6-K furnished to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 6, 2020 (the “Original Form 6-K”) to (i) retract Exhibit 99.1 to the Original Form 6-K, (ii) clarify that the Company did not issue a press release to announce the resignation of its independent directors on March 6, 2020, and (iii) furnish the following information on the changes to the Company’s board of directors:
Resignation of independent directors
Due to personal reasons, Mr. Iain Ferguson Bruce resigned as an independent member of the Company’s board of directors, the chairperson of the audit committee, compensation committee and the special committee; Mr. Ming Huang and Mr. Zheng Xue have resigned as independent members of the Company’s board of directors and members of the audit committee, compensation committee and the special committee; and Mr. Junmin Liu resigned as an independent member of the Company’s board of directors and a member of the special committee. All of these resignations became effective on March 6, 2020. The remaining three directors of the Company will continue to form the board of directors to perform its duties.
Dissolution ofaudit committee, compensation committee and special committee
The directors of the Company passed a resolution to dissolve the audit committee, compensation committee and special committee of the board of directors of the Company due to the resignation of four independent directors. The Company’s entire board of directors have assumed all of the responsibilities previously assigned to the audit committee, compensation committee and special committee. However, the Company’s current board of directors do not include any independent members and each director is also an executive officer of the Company. As such, the Company’s current board of directors may not be able to perform the functions previously assigned to its audit committee, compensation committee or special committee as properly as performed by independent directors.
