October 9, 2007 - An investor in American Depositary Shares (ADS) of LDK Solar Company Ltd (NYSE: LDK) filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against LDK Solar Company Ltd over alleged violations of Federal Securities Laws in connection with certain allegedly false and misleading statements made between June 1, 2005 and October 2, 2005.

The complaint charges LDK Solar Company Ltd and certain of its officers and directors with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. LDK Solar Company Ltd manufactures multicrystalline solar wafers, which are the principal raw material used to produce solar cells. The complaint alleges that between June 1, 2005 and October 2, 2005, defendants concealed the full extent of how badly flawed LDK Solar Company Ltd’s internal controls were, preventing it from accurately measuring or reporting its inventory. As a result, LDK Solar Company Ltd’s inventories were overstated by an estimated 25%, causing inflation in LDK Solar Company Ltd’s assets, earnings and earnings per share (“EPS”) reported between June 1, 2005 and October 2, 2005.

On October 3, 2007, LDK Solar Company Ltd (NYSE: LDK) share price fell almost 25% following a report that LDK Solar Company Ltd’s financial controller had resigned, stating that LDK Solar Company Ltd lacked internal controls and that LDK Solar Company Ltd's reported 1,000 tonne inventory of polysilicon was overstated by 25%. LDK Solar Company Ltd’s former controller, Charley Situ, reported these discrepancies to both the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and LDK Solar Company Ltd’s external auditor, KPMG. LDK Solar Company Ltd could not deny or confirm Situ’s allegations on October 3, 2007, but promised to investigate and issue a further statement. LDK Solar Company Ltd has since stated it will have an independent outside auditor investigate Situ’s allegations. American Depositary Shares (ADS) of LDK Solar Company Ltd (NYSE: LDK), which traded as high as $76.75 on September 27, 2007, plummeted $16.66, or 24.39%, to close at $51.65 on October 3, 2007. The ADSs continued to decline in after-hours trading, falling to $47.49.
