JinkoSolar Upsizes and Extends Share Repurchase Program
12/10/2024
SHANGRAO, China, Dec. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd. ("JinkoSolar" or the "Company") (NYSE: JKS), one of the largest and most innovative solar module manufacturers in the world, today announced that its board of directors ("Board") has approved the upsizing and extension of its existing share repurchase program ("Existing Share Repurchase Program").
As previously announced, the Company launched a share repurchase program in July 2022, whereby the Company was authorized to repurchase up to US$200 million of its Class A ordinary shares represented by American depositary shares ("ADSs"). In December 2023, the Company extended the share repurchase program by 18 months through June 30, 2025. As of the date of this press release, the Company had repurchased approximately US$134.5 million of the ADSs authorized under the Existing Share Repurchase Program.
On December 10, 2024, the Board has approved to upsize the Existing Share Repurchase Program by increasing the aggregate value of Class A ordinary shares represented by ADSs that may be repurchased from US$200 million to US$350 million. In addition, the Board has also approved to extend the Existing Share Repurchase Program for an additional 12-month period through June 30, 2026 (the "Extended Share Repurchase Program"). Under the Extended Share Repurchase Program, the Company may repurchase up to approximately US$215.5 million of its Class A ordinary shares represented by the ADSs through June 30, 2026.
The Company's proposed repurchases may be made from time to time on the open market at prevailing market prices in open-market transactions, privately negotiated transactions or block trades, and/or through other legally permissible means, depending on market conditions and in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations. The timing and conditions of the share repurchases will be subject to various factors including the requirements under Rule 10b-18 and Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act, as well as the Company's insider trading policy. The Company plans to use its existing funds and external financing to fund repurchases made under the Extended Share Repurchase Program. The Board will review the Extended Repurchase Program periodically and may authorize adjustment of its terms and size.
Mr. Xiande Li, JinkoSolar's Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "The upsizing and extension of the Existing Share Repurchase Program further reflect our continued confidence in our long-term business growth. The competitive advantage of our N-type TOPCon technology, extensive global operation network, and advanced integrated capacity structure have ideally positioned us to capture the growth opportunities this sector continues to generate. We remain fully committed to creating sustainable value for our shareholders."
