Shunfeng Group takes over operative business and assets of S.A.G.
Solarstrom AG

Freiburg i. Br., August 30, 2014. S.A.G. Solarstrom AG (under insolvency
proceedings) (German security identification number: 702 100, ISIN:
DE0007021008) today concluded a contract for the acquisition of operative
business operations, including all assets of the S.A.G. Solarstrom Group,
with SF Suntech Deutschland GmbH, a subsidiary of Shunfeng Photovoltaic
International Ltd. (SF-PV). The purchase price is EUR65 million. The
contract is possibly subject to the approval of the shareholders of SF-PV.
If contains the usual price adjustment mechanisms and is subject to the
release of securities as well as to merger clearance checks.

As part of a transferred reorganization scheme, the operative business of
the S.A.G. Solarstrom Group, together with all its business areas, will be
continued by the investor. All jobs will remain secured and additional jobs
are expected to be generated under the planned growth strategy.

In December 2013, S.A.G. Solarstrom AG filed for insolvency due to delayed
cash inflow in the amount of over EUR20 million. At the time when
insolvency was filed, the company was not over-indebted in accounting
terms. However, according to the current status, it must be assumed that
the company's equity on the commercial balance sheet will be negative, so
that S.A.G. Solarstrom AG's shareholders will not receive any return flows
on their invested capital. After the transaction has been concluded, it is
expected that the limited company will be withdrawn from the stock exchange
and liquidated during the further course of the insolvency proceedings.

According to the assessment of the insolvency administrator Dr. Jörg
Nerlich, S.A.G. Solarstrom AG's creditors, including the creditors of the
two bonds listed in the Entry Standard for corporate bonds, can expect a
successful conclusion of the investor process with an above-average
insolvency quota of almost 50%. However, depending on the actual result,
the insolvency quota might also be considerably below or above this value.
