Settlement of
Patent Infringement Lawsuits with Hanwha
This Current Report on Form 6-K (the
“Form 6-K”) is being filed by JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd. (“JinkoSolar”) in connection with a patent cross-license
and settlement agreement its affiliate has entered into with Hanwha Solutions Corporation (collectively with its affiliates, “Hanwha”)
resolving all pending patent infringement lawsuits between the companies.
In March 2019, Hanwha filed patent infringement
claims against JinkoSolar and a number of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “JinkoSolar companies”) in the U.S., Germany
and Australia, alleging that certain photovoltaic solar cells and modules supplied by the JinkoSolar companies infringed certain patents
purportedly owned by Hanwha. On June 2, 2023, Jinko Solar Co., Ltd. (“Jiangxi Jinko”), JinkoSolar’s majority-owned principal
operating subsidiary, and Hanwha entered into a patent cross-license and settlement agreement, pursuant to which Jiangxi Jinko and Hanwha
have agreed to the grant of mutual licenses to each other concerning a number of patents, including but not limited to the patents in
dispute, and payment of license fees. Jiangxi Jinko and Hanwha have also agreed to terminate all pending patent infringement and invalidation
proceedings between the JinkoSolar companies and Hanwha.
