Exhibit 99.1 – Press Release
JinkoSolar Announces Proposed Offering of US$125 Million Convertible Senior Notes
SHANGHAI, China, May 11, 2011 – JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) (NYSE: JKS), a fast-growing, vertically-integrated solar power product manufacturer with low-cost operations based in China, today announced its plans to issue, subject to market and other conditions, US$125 million in aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2016 (the “notes”). The notes will be sold to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Company expects to grant the initial purchasers a 30-day option to purchase up to US$25 million principal amount of additional notes to cover over-allotments, if any. The terms and timing of the offering have not been finalized.
The Company will use a portion of the proceeds of the offering to pay for the capped call and associated expenses described below. The Company intends to use the remaining net proceeds from the offering for expansion of its silicon wafer, solar cell and solar module production capacity.
The notes will be convertible into American depositary shares (“ADSs”), of the Company, each representing as of the date hereof four ordinary shares, par value US$0.00002 per share, of the Company. Holders of the notes may convert their notes, at their option, in integral multiples of US$1,000 principal amount, at any time prior to the close of business on the third business day immediately preceding the maturity date.
Concurrently with the offering, the Company will enter into a capped call transaction with an affiliate of an initial purchaser. The capped call transaction is expected generally to reduce the potential dilution of the Company’s ADSs upon a conversion of notes in the event that the market value per ADS of the Company, as measured under the terms of the capped call transaction, is greater than the strike price of the capped call transaction (which corresponds to the initial conversion price of the notes and is subject to certain adjustments similar to those contained in the notes), but such reduction will be capped if such market value is greater than the cap price of the capped call transaction.
In connection with establishing its initial hedge of the capped call transaction, the hedge counterparty (or its affiliate) expects to enter into various derivative transactions with respect to the ADSs concurrently with, and/or purchase ADSs shortly after, the pricing of the notes. These activities could have the effect of increasing, or reducing the size of any decrease in, the price of the ADSs concurrently with, or shortly after, the pricing of the notes.
In addition, the hedge counterparty (or its affiliate) is likely to modify its hedge position by entering into or unwinding various derivative transactions with respect to the ADSs and/or by purchasing or selling the ADSs or other securities of the Company in secondary market transactions following the pricing of the notes and prior to the maturity of the notes (and is likely to do so during a valuation period under the capped call transaction preceding the maturity date, and on or around any earlier conversion date related to a conversion of notes or any repurchase date related to the notes).
The notes and any ADSs issuable upon conversion of the notes, including the ordinary shares represented by such ADSs, will not be and have not been registered under the Securities Act, or any state securities law, and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to any U.S. persons absent registration under the Securities Act, or pursuant to an applicable exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the notes or any ADSs issuable upon conversion of the notes, nor shall there be any offer, solicitation or sale of any notes or any ADSs issuable upon conversion of the notes in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
