(the &#147;Company&#148;, or &#147;Canadian Solar&#148;) (NASDAQ: CSIQ), one of the world&#146;s largest solar power companies, today released this statement in response to the United States Department of Commerce&#146;s (&#147;DOC&#148;) Tuesday decision to impose counter-veiling (&#147;CVD&#148;) and anti-dumping (&#147;AD&#148;) tariffs on certain Chinese and Taiwanese photovoltaic modules and cell imports.</p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#147;We are very disappointed by the DOC&#146;s decision, and the damaging impact this has on the American solar industry,&#148; said Thomas Koerner, General Manager of Canadian Solar Americas Division. &#147;This decision threatens the employment of tens and thousands of American workers in the various facets of the solar industry, including manufacturing, design, installation and operations.&#148;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Mr.&nbsp;Koerner added, &#147;We plan to utilize our 500 MW manufacturing facility in Ontario, Canada to continue our support for solar energy development in the United States. As a Canadian company, however, we firmly believe in free international trade and a market economy with zero trade barriers.&#148;</font></p>
