In mid-December, Dongsheng Photovoltaic Technology (Dongsheng PV) — a wholly owned subsidiary of GCL System Integration — agreed to acquire 1.91 billion shares of GNE at HK$0.55 each in a share subscription.
Dongsheng PV and several other parties bought roughly 10.01% of GNE’s total issued shares, while GCL-Poly Energy still indirectly holds about 62.28% of the company’s issued share capital, according to an online statement.
Following Dongsheng PV’s completion of that transaction, GCL-Poly Energy needed to clarify a number of service deals struck between its various subsidiaries over the past year and a half.
In May 2016, for example, GNE International agreed to provide asset management and administrative services to GCL Solar Energy for US$14.5 million over a period of three years. The deal includes plans to sell off excess PV modules remaining in GCL Solar’s inventory, for at least US$0.03/watt, as well as services that will be provided to solar arrays in the U.S. and South Africa.
