---------------------------------------------------------------------------

After successful negotiations with another important supplier of raw
materials, SolarWorld AG has been able to place its long-term business
relationship with this partner on a new contractual basis, strengthening
the Group's silicon supply security under competitive conditions.

The positive agreement reached today will result in a revaluation of
prepayments and/or repayment claims against the raw material supplier in
the balance sheet of SolarWorld AG. Consequently, this will burden the
consolidated result of SolarWorld AG in fiscal year 2014 by presumably a
non cash, one-off effect in a low double-digit million Euro amount. This
will be reflected in the earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization (EBITDA). For the future liquidity of the SolarWorld Group,
the agreement has positive effects.

A corresponding adjustment of the EBITDA forecasted for 2014 not taking
into account the positive one-off effects from the financial restructuring
and from the initial consolidation of assets from Bosch Solar Energy AG
will be conducted in the interim report on the first half of 2014.
