ReneSola Announces Cancellation of Admission to Trading on AIM

JIASHAN, China, Nov. 30, 2010 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- ReneSola Ltd ("ReneSola" or the "Company") (NYSE: SOL), a leading global manufacturer of solar wafers and provider of solar module original equipment manufacturer ("OEM") services, announces that its admission to trading on the Alternative Investment Market ("AIM") of the London Stock Exchange has today been cancelled.

ReneSola's shares (AIM: SOLA) ceased trading on AIM at the close of business in the United Kingdom on 29 November 2010 and its cancellation of admission to trading on AIM took effect at 7.00 GMT on 30 November 2010.

Shareholders who choose not to convert their shares into American Depositary Shares ("ADSs") will continue to be shareholders of the Company, holding shares without a liquid market. Shareholders who have not made arrangements for their shares to be converted into ADSs by the close of business in the United Kingdom on 30 November 2010 will automatically be sent a share certificate. The Company will continue to maintain its ordinary share register and non market transfers can still be processed, but shareholders wishing to trade their shares through the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") will first be required to convert those shares into ADSs. Shareholders choosing to convert their shares into ADSs at a later time must follow the conversion procedure and pay a conversion fee to the Bank of New York Mellon, the depositary bank (the "Depositary").

Shareholders choosing to convert their shares into ADSs within the six-month period following the cancellation will be required to complete a Deposit Certification, a copy of which is available from the AGM Summary page in the Investor Relations section of the Company's website at http://www.renesola.com and will be available from the website of the Depositary starting 1 December 2010. Thereafter, the Depositary may require shareholders to obtain a US legal opinion in place of a Deposit Certification to support the eligibility of their conversion.

As one ADS represents two shares, shareholders who choose to convert their shares into ADSs will receive one ADS for every two shares currently held by them either in the form of depositary interests or in certificated form. Consequently, shareholders holding an odd number of shares should be aware that they will be unable to convert their single remaining share into an ADS. Shareholders who wish to donate their remaining share, as well as any additional shares, are suggested to do so by direct donation to ShareGift, a share donation charity that has raised over GBP13 million for more than 1,700 charities. Donating a share will negate the need for shareholders to return a share certificate, provided the ShareGift Transfer Form, which can be found on the AGM Summary page in the Investor Relations section of ReneSola's website at http://www.renesola.com, is completed and returned to Capita Registrars Limited. Further information on ShareGift can be found on its website at http://www.sharegift.org.

Further information and instructions for the conversion process are included in ReneSola's Delisting & AGM Circular which can be found on the AGM Summary page in the Investor Relations section of the Company's website at http://www.renesola.com.
