Daqo Provides Latest Updates on its Litigation Event</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">In April&nbsp;2024, Xinjiang Daqo New Energy Co.,&nbsp;Ltd.
(&ldquo;<B>Xinjiang Daqo</B>&rdquo;), a subsidiary of Daqo New Energy (the &ldquo;<B>Company</B>&rdquo;), received a court summons relating
to a contract dispute lawsuit filed against it by Xinjiang Xian&rsquo;an New Materials Co.,&nbsp;Ltd. and its affiliate, Xinjiang Dengbo
New Energy Co.,&nbsp;Ltd. The plaintiffs previously provided silicon core processing services to Xinjiang Daqo. The plaintiffs requested
for termination of the business cooperation agreement with Xinjiang Daqo and for compensation from Xinjiang Daqo for their economic losses
totaling RMB1,958.5 million (which was later reduced to RMB1,847.8 million), which consisted largely of alleged consequential damages
of the plaintiffs. This litigation was previously disclosed in the Company&rsquo;s annual report on Form&nbsp;20-F for the year ended
December&nbsp;31, 2023 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April&nbsp;29, 2024, its press release dated July&nbsp;17,
2024, and its Form&nbsp;6-K dated March&nbsp;17, 2025.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">In July&nbsp;2024, the Company received the first
instance court&rsquo;s verdict, which affirmed termination of the business cooperation agreement and ordered Xinjiang Daqo to compensate
the plaintiffs for their losses and attorney fees totaling RMB3.16 million, while rejecting the plaintiffs&rsquo; claims for consequential
damages. The plaintiffs appealed to the second instance court. In March&nbsp;2025, the Company received the second instance court&rsquo;s
verdict, which vacated the decision of the first instance and remanded the case for a new trial.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">Recently, the Company received a court summons,
in which the plaintiffs further reduced the requested amount of compensation from Xinjiang Daqo to RMB742.7 million. The litigation&rsquo;s
impact on Xinjiang Daqo will be contingent upon the final verdict.</P>
