PART III — NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

 

Yingli Green Energy Holding Company Limited (the “Company”) respectfully notifies the Securities and Exchange Commission that the Company is unable to file its annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2016 (the “Form 20-F”) on or before the prescribed due date of May 1, 2017 without unreasonable effort or expense, because the Company needs more time to prepare and review its consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016 and notes thereto, especially those related to the Company's liquidity, debt restructuring and alternative financing plans as previously disclosed by the Company in its press release dated April 13, 2017 and furnished to the Commission on Form 6-K on the same date. The Company also needs more time to finalize assessment of its internal control over financial reporting and to finalize related disclosure in the Form 20-F. As disclosed in the Company’s press release dated April 13, 2017 reporting its unaudited consolidated financial results for the quarter and full year ended December 31, 2016, there is substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and the Company expects to disclose the same in the Form 20-F.

 

The Company’s management expects that the Form 20-F will be filed within the fifteen-day grace period permitted by Rule 12b-25 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

The words “expects” and “intends” and similar terms and phrases are used in this notification to identify forward-looking statements, including statements regarding the estimated timing for the filing of the Company’s Form 20-F. Risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could affect the Company’s forward-looking statements include, among other things, the time needed for the Company to finalize and file its Form 20-F. Unless required by law, the Company expressly disclaims any obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
