statements. These statements are made under the &ldquo;safe harbor&rdquo; provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as &ldquo;will,&rdquo;
 &ldquo;expects,&rdquo; &ldquo;anticipates,&rdquo; &ldquo;future,&rdquo; &ldquo;intends,&rdquo; &ldquo;plans,&rdquo;
 &ldquo;believes,&rdquo; &ldquo;estimates,&rdquo; &ldquo;might,&rdquo; &ldquo;guidance&rdquo; and similar statements. Among other
things, statements about the Company&rsquo;s plan to distribute dividends contain forward-looking statements. The Company may also
make written or oral forward-looking statements in its reports filed or furnished to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, in
its annual reports to shareholders, in press releases and other written materials and in oral statements made by its officers,
directors or employees to third parties. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about the Company&rsquo;s
beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, all
of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond the Company&rsquo;s control. A number of
factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement, including but not
limited to the following: the demand for photovoltaic products and the development of photovoltaic technologies; global supply and
demand for polysilicon; alternative technologies in cell manufacturing; the Company&rsquo;s ability to significantly expand its
polysilicon production capacity and output; the reduction in or elimination of government subsidies and economic incentives for
solar energy applications; the Company&rsquo;s ability to lower its production costs; changes in the political and regulatory
environment; <FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif">and the duration of COVID-19 outbreaks in China and many other
countries and the impact of the outbreaks and the quarantines and travel restrictions instituted by relevant governments on economic
and market conditions, including potentially weaker global demand for solar PV installations that could adversely affect the
Company&rsquo;s business and financial performance. Further information regarding these and other risks is included in the reports
or documents the Company has filed with, or furnished to, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. All information provided in
this press release is as of the date hereof, and the Company undertakes no duty to update such information or any forward-looking
