LDK Solar to Cooperate with Best Solar on Downstream PV Projects

XINYU CITY, China and SUNNYVALE, Calif., Sept. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- LDK
Solar Co., Ltd. (NYSE: LDK), a leading manufacturer of multicrystalline solar
wafers, today announced it has entered into a framework agreement with Best
Solar Co., Ltd. (Best Solar) to cooperate on downstream photovoltaic (PV)
projects. Under terms of the agreement, LDK Solar will supply the solar
wafers and Best Solar will manufacture the solar modules.

"Although we have established a PV engineering company to construct solar
power stations in and outside China, we have not yet engaged in any
substantial downstream PV businesses, such as solar cell or module
manufacturing, solar panel assembly or provision of certain solar utility
services," stated Xiaofeng Peng, Chairman and CEO. "Best Solar, on the other
hand, is a large manufacturer of solar modules and a significant provider of
solar panel solutions. Additionally, Best Solar is in possession of the
relevant product certifications in several jurisdictions. In order to take
advantage of the opportunities created by the latest PRC government policies
to financially support the construction and operation of PV power stations in
China, LDK Solar and Best Solar have agreed to cooperate with each other, by
taking advantage of our respective complementary strengths in the different
sectors of the PV industry, in order to achieve mutually beneficial results
under the current market conditions."

Best Solar is wholly owned by LDK New Energy Holding Limited, which is LDK
Solar's controlling shareholder, and wholly owned by Mr. Xiaofeng Peng,
chairman and chief executive officer of LDK Solar. Best Solar has agreed to
provide the solar manufacturing services to LDK Solar at comparable pricing to
independent third parties for similar quantity and quality.
