Xinte to raise RMB 2.2 bn for silicon plant and solar & wind projects: Xinte Energy announced that it has entered into a subscription agreement with its main shareholder TBEA, a Chinese transformer and inverter company. The polysilicon manufacturer said that TBEA has conditionally agreed to subscribe for, and it has conditionally agreed to allot and issue over 167 million shares for RMB 13.73 per share, amounting to about RMB 2.2 billion ($0.34 billion). Out of this, approximately 87.22% of the net proceeds (after deducting related costs) or RMB 2,000 million ($308.34 million) will be used for the construction of a 100,000 ton polysilicon project and about 12.78% or RMB 293 million ($45.17 million) will be used for the development of wind power and PV resources.
Earlier this year, Xinte Energy had signed an investment framework agreement with the Baotou Municipal Government and Tumd Right Banner Government to build a high-purity polysilicon factory with an annual production capacity of 200,000 tons, industrial silicon and supporting projects in China’s Baotou City (see Xinte Energy To Build 200,000 Tons Polysilicon Fab)
