Hanwha Q CELLS and 1366 Technologies Enter into 5-year Supply Agreement

Deal Follows Year-Long Strategic Partnership and Collaborative R&D Efforts on the Development and Commercialization of 1366's Direct Wafer™ Technology

SEOUL, South Korea, April 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

Hanwha Q CELLS Co., Ltd. ("Hanwha Q CELLS") (NASDAQ: HQCL) and 1366 Technologies Inc. ("1366") today announced that they have entered into a supply agreement in which 1366 will supply up to 700 MW of wafers using 1366's proprietary Direct Wafer™ technology to Hanwha Q CELLS over a 5-year period. This deal follows a year-long strategic partnership and collaborative R&D efforts to commercialize 1366's Direct Wafer™ technology with Hanwha Q CELLS' Q.ANTUM cell technology. 1366 will supply the wafers from its planned US manufacturing facility in New York State, scheduled to be online in 2017.

The agreement ensues months of intense technical collaboration between the two companies during which a series of performance records for the Direct Wafer™ technology were achieved. Hanwha Q CELLS and 1366 jointly reached a maximum efficiency of 19.1% using Direct Wafer™ products in Hanwha Q CELLS' Q.ANTUM cell, as independently verified by the Fraunhofer ISE.

"This agreement with one of the world's most respected and innovative solar manufacturers is, no doubt, a significant milestone for our business. It further demonstrates the compelling capabilities of the Direct Wafer™ technology and the readiness of this innovation, and establishes its long-term bearing on the industry," said Frank van Mierlo, CEO of 1366 Technologies. "We've found a strong partner, Hanwha Q CELLS, and we are extremely proud of the work we've accomplished together."

"This agreement aligns with our continuing efforts to bring about world leading technologies that enable solar energy to be more competitive and more affordable," commented Seong-woo Nam, CEO of Hanwha Q CELLS. "We are pleased with the progress we have made together during the past year and excited about the potential of 1366's Direct Wafer™ products with Hanwha's cell and module technologies to deliver further cost reductions and LCOE competitiveness to standard multi-crystalline wafer-based modules."

Provided that 1366 meets certain terms and conditions related to its wafer qualification and timing of delivery as agreed by both parties, Hanwha Q CELLS's commitment to purchase up to 700 MW of wafers over a period of 5 years will commence.

1366's Direct Wafer technology is a transformative manufacturing process that offers significant advantages over traditional cast-and-saw wafer production technologies. The process makes wafers in a single step, pulling them directly from molten silicon instead of today's multi-step, energy- and capital-intensive approach, resulting in significant wafer production cost savings.

Hanwha Q CELLS' Q.ANTUM technology is based on PERC (Passivated Emitter Rear Cell) architecture and includes many additional technological features for maximum energy yield under real conditions. Q.ANTUM significantly enhances power output, low-light and temperature-behavior, while at the same time offering all of Hanwha Q CELLS' VDE certified quality standards like Anti-PID protection, Hot-spot protect, and Tra.Q laser marking.

Hanwha Q CELLS Enters Into Definitive Agreement for Going-Private Transaction

SEOUL, South Korea, Oct. 15, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

Hanwha Q CELLS Co., Ltd. ("Hanwha Q CELLS" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: HQCL), a global leading photovoltaic manufacturer of high-performance, high-quality solar modules, today announced that it has entered into a definitive plan of merger (the "Plan of Merger") with Hanwha Solar Holdings Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Hanwha Chemical Corporation incorporated in the Republic of Korea (the "Hanwha Solar"), pursuant to which the Company will be acquired by Hanwha Solar in an all-cash transaction implying an equity value of the Company of approximately $825 million.

Pursuant to the terms of the Plan of Merger, at the effective time of the merger, each ordinary share of the Company issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger (each a "Share") will be cancelled and cease to exist in exchange for the right to receive $0.20 in cash without interest, and each American depositary share (each an "ADS") of the Company, representing 50 Shares, will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive $9.90 in cash without interest, except for Shares (including Shares represented by ADSs) owned by Hanwha Solar.

The merger consideration represents a premium of 50.0% to the closing price of the Company's ADSs on August 2, 2018, the last trading day prior to Hanwha Solar's announcement of its proposal to purchase the shares of the Company that it does not already own, and a premium of 52.0% to the average closing price of the Company's ADSs during the 3-month period prior to the disclosure of Hanwha Solar's proposal.

Hanwha Solar intends to fund the merger with equity.

The Company's board of directors (the "Board") established a committee of independent and disinterested directors to evaluate the potential transaction (the "Special Committee"). The Special Committee considered the proposed merger and negotiated the terms of the Plan of Merger with the assistance of its financial and legal advisors, and unanimously recommended that the Board approve the Plan of Merger and the merger. The Plan of Merger and the merger were also approved by the Audit Committee of the Board.

After considering various factors, including the Special Committee's unanimous recommendation, and the Audit Committee's approval, of the Plan of Merger and the merger, the Board approved the Plan of Merger and the merger. Because Hanwha Solar owns approximately 93.9% of the Company, shareholder approval of the Plan of Merger and the merger is not required under the Companies Law of the Cayman Islands.

The merger is currently expected to close during the first quarter of 2019. If completed, the merger will result in the Company becoming a privately owned company, its ADSs will no longer be listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market and the ADS program will be subsequently terminated.

Houlihan Lokey Capital, Inc. is serving as financial advisor to the Special Committee, Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP is serving as U.S. legal counsel to the Special Committee, and Conyers Dill & Pearman is serving as Cayman Islands legal counsel to the Special Committee.

Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP is serving as U.S. legal counsel to Hanwha Solar, and Walkers is serving as Cayman Islands legal counsel to Hanwha Solar.

The Company also announced today that it has requested that trading of its ADSs on The Nasdaq Stock Market (the "NASDAQ") be suspended as soon as practicable by requesting the NASDAQ to file a notification on Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") to delist the ADSs. The Company then intends to terminate the registration of its registered securities and suspend its reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, by filing a Form 15 with the SEC. The Company's reporting obligations will be suspended immediately as of the filing of the Form 15.
