LDK Solar expects to use the net proceeds of the offering to enter into prepaid forward contracts with one or more of the initial purchasers and/or their affiliates to repurchase approximately $200 million worth of its American depositary shares. In addition, LDK Solar expects to use approximately 75% of the remaining net proceeds to fund the construction of a polysilicon manufacturing plant, approximately 20% of the remaining net proceeds to fund the capacity expansion of its wafer production facilities and 5% of the remaining net proceeds to fund other general corporate activities.
