In July 2021, the Group’s major operational subsidiary Xinjiang Daqo completed its IPO in China and started trading on the Shanghai Stock Exchange’s Sci-Tech Innovation Board.

Following the IPO, the Company holds approximately a total ownership of 80.7% of Xinjiang Daqo, directly and indirectly. Xinjiang Daqo’s non-controlling interests’ ownership of the subsidiary changed from 4.40% to 19.30% due to the IPO.

The offering raised net proceeds of $1.63 billion, of which, $742.8 million was recorded in the non-controlling interest and $878.8 million was recorded in the additional paid in capital. Following the private offering, the Company holds approximately a total ownership of 72.68% of Xinjiang Daqo, directly and indirectly. The non-controlling interests’ ownership of the subsidiary changed to 27.32% due to the private offering.
