SHANGHAI, July 13, 2011--- JA Solar Holdings Co., Ltd., (NASDAQ: JASO) ("JA Solar" or the "Company"), one of the world’s largest manufacturers of high-performance solar cells and solar power products, today announced that Mr. Min Cao will succeed Ms. Anthea Chung as JA Solar's chief financial officer. Ms. Chung is resigning from her position to pursue other opportunities. She will remain with the company through August 19, 2011 to assist with the transition, and will participate in the company’s second quarter earnings conference call.
“Anthea has played a key role in establishing JA Solar as one of the clear leaders in the solar industry,” said Dr. Peng Fang, chief executive officer of JA Solar. “I’d like to express our sincere thanks for her contribution, and wish her every success in her future endeavors.”
“I’d like to thank the management and board of directors for their support and guidance,“ said Ms. Chung. “I am proud of what we have achieved together during this exciting period in the company’s history, and I look forward to seeing JA Solar continue to prosper in the years ahead. “
On Mr. Cao’s appointment, Dr. Fang commented, “We are delighted to welcome Min Cao to JA Solar. His wealth of experience in the capital markets sector is underscored by an intimate understanding of the broader solar industry, and of JA Solar in particular. I’m confident that his unique background and valuable expertise will prove strong assets for JA Solar as we continue to grow.”
Mr. Cao has worked in the solar industry since 2006, having previously spent over a decade in the financial services sector. Most recently, he served as vice president of Jinglong Group, and managing director of JL Capital, an investment company under Jinglong Group focused on the cleantech and renewable energy sectors. Prior to joining JL Capital, Mr. Cao served as vice president of finance with Solarfun, where he was responsible for the company’s private placement and its successful initial public offering on NASDAQ in 2006.
