On December 20, 2018, the board of directors of Daqo New Energy Corp. (the “Company”) approved for its wholly-owned subsidiary, Xinjiang Daqo New Energy Co., Ltd. (“Xinjiang Daqo”), to acquire an 100% equity interest of Daqo Xinjiang Investment Co., Ltd. ("Xinjiang Daqo Investment"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Daqo Group and an affiliated company of the Company, for a total consideration of RMB110 million. The RMB110 million consideration includes (i) certain shares issued by Xinjiang Daqo to Xinjiang Daqo Investment in August 2015; (ii) two apartment buildings, consisting of 442 apartment units and approximately 9,349 square meters in gross floor area of land; and (iii) cash and other assets. The Company targets to close this transaction by the end of December 2018, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions and the completion of relevant corporate and regulatory procedures.

 

Xinjiang Daqo Investment's equity interest in Xinjiang Daqo was previously presented as a non-controlling interest on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Following this acquisition, Xinjiang Daqo Investment will be a subsidiary of Xinjiang Daqo and fully consolidated into the Company’s financial statements. The Company does not expect this acquisition to materially impact the Company’s business operations or financial condition.
