(1) The sources of funds were: (a) a loan in the principal amount of $295 million from Korea Export-Import Bank to Hanwha Chemical Corporation (“Hanwha Chemical”) on September 16, 2010, and (b) the internal reserves of Hanwha Chemical. Hanwha Solar Holdings Co., Ltd. (“Hanwha”) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hanwha Chemical.

(2) The aggregate amount beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons is comprised of the following: (a) 209,249,448 ordinary shares of Solarfun Power Holdings Co., Ltd. (the “Issuer”), par value US$0.0001 per share (“Ordinary Shares”), which includes 6,405,055 Ordinary Shares represented by an aggregate of 1,281,011 American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) of the Issuer; and (b) 45,080,019 Ordinary Shares (the “Loaned Shares”) issued or issuable to Hanwha pursuant to that certain Share Issuance and Repurchase Agreement, dated as of September 16, 2010, by and between the Issuer and Hanwha (the “Share Lending Agreement”), which Loaned Shares are comprised of: (i) 30,672,689 Ordinary Shares issued to Hanwha on September 16, 2010 (the “Initial Loaned Shares”), and (ii) subject to the approval of the shareholders of the Issuer, up to an additional 14,407,330 Ordinary Shares issuable to Hanwha (the “Additional Loaned Shares”). The final number of Additional Loaned Shares issuable to Hanwha under the Share Lending Agreement is based on the number of outstanding ADSs subject to that certain Share Issuance and Repurchase Agreement by and between the Issuer and Morgan Stanley & Co. International PLC or its permitted successors and assigns (the “Dealer”), dated as of January 23, 2008 (the “Dealer Agreement”). The Issuer publicly disclosed that as of November 10, 2010, an aggregate of 9,019,611 ADSs (the “Loaned ADSs”) were outstanding. In the event the Issuer receives shareholder approval to issue the Additional Loaned Shares to Hanwha and 9,019,611 Loaned ADSs are outstanding under the Dealer Agreement as of the date of such shareholder approval, the Issuer is contractually obligated to issue Hanwha 14,407,330 Additional Loaned Shares on the day immediately following the date the Issuer receives shareholder approval. For each Loaned ADS repurchased by the Issuer (Y) prior to the issuance of any Additional Loaned Shares to Hanwha, the Issuer is entitled to reduce the number of Additional Loaned Shares issuable to Hanwha by 4.998 Ordinary Shares, and (Z) following the issuance of any Additional Loaned Shares to Hanwha, the Issuer is entitled to repurchase 4.998 Additional Loaned Shares from Hanwha. The 209,249,448 Ordinary Shares, the 30,672,689 Initial Loaned Shares and the right to acquire Additional Loaned Shares are held directly by Hanwha.

Pursuant to the Share Lending Agreement, Hanwha agreed that it holds only the voting rights with respect to any Loaned Shares and, subject to applicable law, waived all other rights attaching to or arising in respect of the Loaned Shares.

(3) Percentage of class calculated based on an aggregate of 327,067,668 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding as of November 8, 2010, as reported in the Issuer’s Prospectus Supplement, dated November 10, 2010, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on November 12, 2010 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Prospectus Supplement”), plus each of the following: (a) 40,000,000 Ordinary Shares (represented by 8,000,000 ADSs) issued to certain underwriters (the “Underwriters”) as described in the Prospectus Supplement; (b) 6,000,000 Ordinary Shares (represented by 1,200,000 ADSs) issued to the Underwriters pursuant to the exercise by the Underwriters of their over-allotment option as described in the Prospectus Supplement; (c) 30,672,689 Initial Loaned Shares issued to Hanwha pursuant to the Share Lending Agreement; (d) 14,407,330 Additional Loaned Shares that the Issuer may, subject to the approval of the shareholders of the Issuer, issue to Hanwha pursuant to the terms of the Share Lending Agreement; (e) 45,098,055 Ordinary Shares (represented by 9,019,611 Loaned ADSs) issued to the Dealer pursuant to the Dealer Agreement; and (f) 45,981,604 Ordinary Shares issued to Hanwha on November 22, 2010 pursuant to that certain Subscription Agreement, dated as of November 9, 2010, by and between the Issuer and Hanwha (the “Subscription Agreement”); for an aggregate total of 509,227,346 outstanding Ordinary Shares.

The Issuer stated in the Prospectus Supplement that it does not believe that the Ordinary Shares represented by the Loaned ADSs or the Initial Loaned Shares will increase the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding. For purposes of calculating beneficial ownership in the Prospectus Supplement, the Issuer excluded the 9,019,611 Loaned ADSs and the 30,672,689 Initial Loaned Shares from the number of Ordinary Share equivalents deemed outstanding. The Issuer’s total outstanding Ordinary Shares as of November 8, 2010 would have been 402,838,412 if the 9,019,611 Loaned ADSs and the 30,672,689 Initial Loaned Shares were included in the calculation of beneficial ownership.

Due to similarities between the Dealer Agreement and the Share Lending Agreement and the fact that the Issuer has excluded the 30,672,689 Initial Loaned Shares from its calculation of shares outstanding, as reported in the Prospectus Supplement, it is expected that the Issuer will also not treat any of the Additional Loaned Shares, if and when issued by the Issuer, as outstanding for purposes of calculating the Reporting Persons’ beneficial ownership of the Ordinary Shares.


For purposes of reporting its beneficial ownership in this Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons have assumed that the Loaned Shares are issued, outstanding and beneficially held by the Reporting Persons. If the Reporting Persons excluded the Loaned Shares, they would be deemed to beneficially own 209,249,448 Ordinary Shares. Inclusion or exclusion of the Loaned Shares would not materially change the Reporting Persons’ beneficial ownership percentage. In each case, the Reporting Persons’ beneficial ownership percentage would be approximately 49.9%.

The Issuer stated in the Prospectus Supplement that 1,596,160 Ordinary Shares (represented by 319,232 ADSs) have been reserved by the Issuer to allow for the participation in the ADS program by its employees pursuant to the Issuer’s equity incentive plans (the “Option Reserve Shares”). Moreover, for purposes of calculating beneficial ownership in the Prospectus Supplement, the Issuer excluded the Option Reserve Shares from the number of Ordinary Share equivalents deemed outstanding and stated that the Option Reserve Shares have been classified as being excluded from shareholders’ equity for accounting purposes. Accordingly, the Reporting Persons have excluded the Option Reserve Shares from the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares for purposes of calculating and reporting the Reporting Persons’ beneficial ownership in this Schedule 13D.

(3) Percentage of class calculated based on an aggregate of 327,067,668 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding as of November 8, 2010, as reported in the Prospectus Supplement, plus each of the following: (a) 40,000,000 Ordinary Shares (represented by 8,000,000 ADSs) issued to the Underwriters as described in the Prospectus Supplement; (b) 6,000,000 Ordinary Shares (represented by 1,200,000 ADSs) issued to the Underwriters pursuant to the exercise by the Underwriters of their over-allotment option as described in the Prospectus Supplement; (c) 30,672,689 Initial Loaned Shares issued to Hanwha pursuant to the Share Lending Agreement; (d) 14,407,330 Additional Loaned Shares that the Issuer may, subject to the approval of the shareholders of the Issuer, issue to Hanwha pursuant to the terms of the Share Lending Agreement; (e) 45,098,055 Ordinary Shares (represented by 9,019,611 Loaned ADSs) issued to the Dealer pursuant to the Dealer Agreement; and (f) 45,981,604 Ordinary Shares issued to Hanwha on November 22, 2010 pursuant to the Subscription Agreement; for an aggregate total of 509,227,346 outstanding Ordinary Shares.

(1) The sources of funds were: (a) a loan in the principal amount of $295 million from Korea Export-Import Bank to Hanwha Chemical on September 16, 2010, and (b) the internal reserves of Hanwha Chemical.

(2) The aggregate amount beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons is comprised of the following: (a) 209,249,448 Ordinary Shares, which includes 6,405,055 Ordinary Shares represented by an aggregate of 1,281,011 ADSs of the Issuer; and (b) the 45,080,019 Loaned Shares, which Loaned Shares are comprised of: (i) 30,672,689 Initial Loaned Shares, and (ii) subject to the approval of the shareholders of the Issuer, up to 14,407,330 Additional Loaned Shares. The final number of Additional Loaned Shares issuable to Hanwha under the Share Lending Agreement is based on the number of outstanding ADSs subject to the Dealer Agreement. The Issuer publicly disclosed that as of November 10, 2010, an aggregate of 9,019,611 Loaned ADSs were outstanding. In the event the Issuer receives shareholder approval to issue the Additional Loaned Shares to Hanwha and 9,019,611 Loaned ADSs are outstanding under the Dealer Agreement as of the date of such shareholder approval, the Issuer is contractually obligated to issue Hanwha 14,407,330 Additional Loaned Shares on the day immediately following the date the Issuer receives shareholder approval. For each Loaned ADS repurchased by the Issuer (Y) prior to the issuance of any Additional Loaned Shares to Hanwha, the Issuer is entitled to reduce the number of Additional Loaned Shares issuable to Hanwha by 4.998 Ordinary Shares, and (Z) following the issuance of any Additional Loaned Shares to Hanwha, the Issuer is entitled to repurchase 4.998 Additional Loaned Shares from Hanwha. The 209,249,448 Ordinary Shares, the 30,672,689 Initial Loaned Shares and the right to acquire Additional Loaned Shares are held directly by Hanwha. Hanwha is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hanwha Chemical and Hanwha Chemical may therefore be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the 209,249,448 Ordinary Shares, the 30,672,689 Initial Loaned Shares and the right to acquire Additional Loaned Shares. Hanwha Corporation together with its affiliates hold approximately 42.33% of the issued and outstanding shares of Hanwha Chemical and Hanwha Corporation may therefore be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the 209,249,448 Ordinary Shares, the 30,672,689 Initial Loaned Shares and the right to acquire Additional Loaned Shares. Mr. Seung-Youn Kim, a representative director and executive officer of Hanwha Chemical and Hanwha Corporation, together with his affiliates hold approximately 22.51% of the issued and outstanding shares of Hanwha Corporation and Mr. Seung-Youn Kim may therefore be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the 209,249,448 Ordinary Shares, the 30,672,689 Initial Loaned Shares and the right to acquire Additional Loaned Shares.

Pursuant to the Share Lending Agreement, Hanwha agreed that it holds only the voting rights with respect to any Loaned Shares and, subject to applicable law, waived all other rights attaching to or arising in respect of the Loaned Shares.

(3) Percentage of class calculated based on an aggregate of 327,067,668 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding as of November 8, 2010, as reported in the Prospectus Supplement, plus each of the following: (a) 40,000,000 Ordinary Shares (represented by 8,000,000 ADSs) issued to the Underwriters as described in the Prospectus Supplement; (b) 6,000,000 Ordinary Shares (represented by 1,200,000 ADSs) issued to the Underwriters pursuant to the exercise by the Underwriters of their over-allotment option as described in the Prospectus Supplement; (c) 30,672,689 Initial Loaned Shares issued to Hanwha pursuant to the Share Lending Agreement; (d) 14,407,330 Additional Loaned Shares that the Issuer may, subject to the approval of the shareholders of the Issuer, issue to Hanwha pursuant to the terms of the Share Lending Agreement; (e) 45,098,055 Ordinary Shares (represented by 9,019,611 Loaned ADSs) issued to the Dealer pursuant to the Dealer Agreement; and (f) 45,981,604 Ordinary Shares issued to Hanwha on November 22, 2010 pursuant to the Subscription Agreement; for an aggregate total of 509,227,346 outstanding Ordinary Shares.

The Issuer stated in the Prospectus Supplement that it does not believe that the Ordinary Shares represented by the Loaned ADSs or the Initial Loaned Shares will increase the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding. For purposes of calculating beneficial ownership in the Prospectus Supplement, the Issuer excluded the 9,019,611 Loaned ADSs and the 30,672,689 Initial Loaned Shares from the number of Ordinary Share equivalents deemed outstanding. The Issuer’s total outstanding Ordinary Shares as of November 8, 2010 would have been 402,838,412 if the 9,019,611 Loaned ADSs and the 30,672,689 Initial Loaned Shares were included in the calculation of beneficial ownership.

Due to similarities between the Dealer Agreement and the Share Lending Agreement and the fact that the Issuer has excluded the 30,672,689 Initial Loaned Shares from its calculation of shares outstanding, as reported in the Prospectus Supplement, it is expected that the Issuer will also not treat any of the Additional Loaned Shares, if and when issued by the Issuer, as outstanding for purposes of calculating the Reporting Persons’ beneficial ownership of the Ordinary Shares.


For purposes of reporting its beneficial ownership in this Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons have assumed that the Loaned Shares are issued, outstanding and beneficially held by the Reporting Persons. If the Reporting Persons excluded the Loaned Shares, they would be deemed to beneficially own 209,249,448 Ordinary Shares. Inclusion or exclusion of the Loaned Shares would not materially change the Reporting Persons’ beneficial ownership percentage. In each case, the Reporting Persons’ beneficial ownership percentage would be approximately 49.9%.

The Issuer stated in the Prospectus Supplement that it has reserved the 1,596,160 Option Reserve Shares. Moreover, for purposes of calculating beneficial ownership in the Prospectus Supplement, the Issuer excluded the Option Reserve Shares from the number of Ordinary Share equivalents deemed outstanding and stated that the Option Reserve Shares have been classified as being excluded from shareholders’ equity for accounting purposes. Accordingly, the Reporting Persons have excluded the Option Reserve Shares from the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares for purposes of calculating and reporting the Reporting Persons’ beneficial ownership in this Schedule 13D.


All information in this Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D is being supplied solely by the Reporting Persons and only the Reporting Persons shall be deemed responsible for the accuracy of such information. This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D is being filed by Hanwha Solar Holdings Co., Ltd., Hanwha Chemical Corporation, Hanwha Corporation and Mr. Seung-Youn Kim pursuant to Rule 13d-2(a) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D amends and supplements the Schedule 13D as filed jointly by Hanwha Solar Holdings Co., Ltd., Hanwha Chemical Corporation, Hanwha Corporation and Mr. Seung-Youn Kim with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 23, 2010 (the “Initial Schedule 13D”). Unless set forth below, all previous Items set forth in the Initial Schedule 13D are unchanged. All capitalized terms used herein that are not defined herein have the meanings for such terms set forth in the Initial Schedule 13D.

 

ITEM 4. Purpose of Transaction.

The disclosure in Item 4 of the Initial Schedule 13D is hereby amended by deleting the last three paragraphs of Item 4 and inserting the following language in place thereof:

Subscription Agreement

On November 9, 2010, Hanwha entered into a Subscription Agreement with the Issuer (the “Subscription Agreement”), pursuant to which the Issuer agreed to sell to Hanwha and Hanwha agreed to purchase from the Issuer such number of Ordinary Shares from the Issuer that would result in Hanwha maintaining after each Offering (as defined below) the same level of beneficial ownership in the Issuer as it had immediately prior to such Offering, at a per Ordinary Shares price equal to 20% of the public offering price set forth on the cover of the prospectus supplement, as filed with the SEC, in connection with each such Offering. An “Offering” is defined in the Subscription Agreement as an offering by the Issuer of ADSs pursuant to that certain registration statement on Form F-3, as amended, filed on June 27, 2008, the related prospectus supplement filed with the SEC on November 12, 2010 and the registration statement on Form F-3 filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 462(b) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, filed with the SEC on November 10, 2010. Hanwha and the Issuer entered into the Subscription Agreement as a result of the right to participate in subsequent offerings that was granted to Hanwha under the Shareholder Agreement. The Subscription Agreement provides that the settlement of any Ordinary Shares to be acquired by Hanwha pursuant to the Subscription Agreement will occur no later than the earlier of: (a) seven (7) days after the date of each closing of an Offering, or (b) immediately prior to the occurrence of any event or circumstance that results in a reduction in the beneficial ownership of Hanwha to a level that negatively impacts any of Hanwha’s rights under the Shareholder Agreement. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, on November 22, 2010, the Issuer sold 45,981,604 Ordinary Shares to Hanwha at a price of $1.80 per Ordinary Share, for aggregate gross proceeds to the Issuer of $82,766,887.20.

The foregoing descriptions of the SPAs, the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the Share Lending Agreement, the Shareholder Agreement and the Subscription Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full texts of the agreements, which are filed as Exhibits 2-8 to this Schedule 13D and incorporated herein by reference.

The Ordinary Shares and ADSs covered by this Schedule 13D were acquired for investment purposes. The Reporting Persons will routinely monitor a wide variety of investment considerations, including, without limitation, current and anticipated future trading prices for the Ordinary Shares, the Issuer’s operations, assets, prospects and business development, the Issuer’s management, Issuer-related competitive and strategic matters, general economic, financial market and industry conditions, as well as other investment considerations. The Reporting Persons expect to discuss their investment in the Issuer and the foregoing investment considerations with the Board of Directors, management, other investors, industry analysts and others. These considerations, these discussions and other factors may result in the Reporting Persons’ consideration of various alternatives with respect to their investment, including possible changes in the present Board of Directors and/or management of the Issuer or other alternatives to increase shareholder value. In addition, the Reporting Persons may acquire additional Issuer securities in the public markets, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise (including through the exercise of Hanwha’s preemptive rights under the Shareholder Agreement) or may determine to sell, trade or otherwise dispose of all or some holdings in the Issuer in the public markets, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, or take any other lawful action they deem to be in their best interests.


Except as set forth in this Item 4, no Reporting Person has any present plans or proposals that relate to or would result in: (a) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer, or the disposition of securities of the Issuer; (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or of any of its subsidiaries; (d) any change in the present board of directors or management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of such directors or to fill any existing vacancies on such board; (e) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; (f) any other material change in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure; (g) changes in the Issuer’s charter, by-laws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions that may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person; (h) causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; (i) a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; or (j) any action similar to any of those enumerated in subparagraphs (a)-(i) above. There is no assurance that the Reporting Persons will develop any plans or proposals with respect to any of these matters. However, the Reporting Persons reserve the right to formulate plans or proposals which would relate to or result in the transactions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of this Item 4.

 

ITEM 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

The disclosure in Item 5 of the Initial Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

(a) As of the date hereof, Hanwha beneficially owns: (i) 254,329,467 Ordinary Shares, which includes 6,405,055 Ordinary Shares represented by an aggregate of 1,281,011 ADSs, and (ii) 45,080,019 Loaned Shares issued or issuable to Hanwha pursuant to the Share Lending Agreement, representing approximately 49.9% of all of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares. Hanwha is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hanwha Chemical and Hanwha Chemical may therefore be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the254,329,467 Ordinary Shares owned by Hanwha and the 45,080,019 Loaned Shares issued or issuable to Hanwha pursuant to the Share Lending Agreement. Hanwha Corporation together with its affiliates hold approximately 42.33% of the issued and outstanding shares of Hanwha Chemical and Hanwha Corporation may therefore be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the 254,329,467 Ordinary Shares owned by Hanwha and the 45,080,019 Loaned Shares issued or issuable to Hanwha pursuant to the Share Lending Agreement. Mr. Seung-Youn Kim, a representative director and executive officer of Hanwha Chemical and Hanwha Corporation, together with his affiliates hold approximately 22.51% of the issued and outstanding shares of Hanwha Corporation and Mr. Kim may therefore be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the 254,329,467 Ordinary Shares owned by Hanwha and the 45,080,019 Loaned Shares issued or issuable to Hanwha pursuant to the Share Lending Agreement.

For purposes of this Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons based the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares on an aggregate of 327,067,668 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding as of November 8, 2010, as reported in the Issuer’s Prospectus Supplement, dated November 10, 2010, filed with the SEC on November 12, 2010 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Prospectus Supplement”), plus each of the following: (i) 40,000,000 Ordinary Shares (represented by 8,000,000 ADSs) issued to certain underwriters (the “Underwriters”) as described in the Prospectus Supplement; (ii) 6,000,000 Ordinary Shares (represented by 1,200,000 ADSs) issued to the Underwriters pursuant to the exercise by the Underwriters of their over-allotment option as described in the Prospectus Supplement; (iii) 30,672,689 Initial Loaned Shares issued to Hanwha pursuant to the Share Lending Agreement; (iv) 14,407,330 Additional Loaned Shares that the Issuer may, subject to the approval of the shareholders of the Issuer, issue to Hanwha pursuant to the terms of the Share Lending Agreement; (v) 45,098,055 Ordinary Shares (represented by 9,019,611 Loaned ADSs) issued to the Dealer pursuant to the Dealer Agreement; and (vi) 45,981,604 Ordinary Shares issued to Hanwha on November 22, 2010 pursuant to the Subscription Agreement; for an aggregate total of 509,227,346 outstanding Ordinary Shares.

The Issuer stated in the Prospectus Supplement that it does not believe that the Ordinary Shares represented by the Loaned ADSs or the Initial Loaned Shares will increase the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding. For purposes of calculating beneficial ownership in the Prospectus Supplement, the Issuer excluded the 9,019,611 Loaned ADSs and the 30,672,689 Initial Loaned Shares from the number of Ordinary Share equivalents deemed outstanding. The Issuer’s total outstanding Ordinary Shares as of November 8, 2010 would have been 402,838,412 if the 9,019,611 Loaned ADSs and the 30,672,689 Initial Loaned Shares were included in the calculation of beneficial ownership.


Due to similarities between the Dealer Agreement and the Share Lending Agreement and the fact that the Issuer has excluded the 30,672,689 Initial Loaned Shares from its calculation of shares outstanding, as reported in the Prospectus Supplement, it is expected that the Issuer will also not treat any of the Additional Loaned Shares, if and when issued by the Issuer, as outstanding for purposes of calculating the Reporting Persons’ beneficial ownership of the Ordinary Shares.

For purposes of reporting its beneficial ownership in this Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons have assumed that the Loaned Shares are issued, outstanding and beneficially held by the Reporting Persons. If the Reporting Persons excluded the Loaned Shares, they would be deemed to beneficially own 209,249,448 Ordinary Shares. Inclusion or exclusion of the Loaned Shares would not materially change the Reporting Persons’ beneficial ownership percentage. In each case, the Reporting Persons’ beneficial ownership percentage would be approximately 49.9%.

The Issuer also stated in the Prospectus Supplement that 1,596,160 Ordinary Shares (represented by 319,232 ADSs) have been reserved by the Issuer to allow for the participation in the ADS program by its employees pursuant to the Issuer’s equity incentive plans (the “Option Reserve Shares”). Moreover, for purposes of calculating beneficial ownership in the Prospectus Supplement, the Issuer excluded the Option Reserve Shares from the number of Ordinary Share equivalents deemed outstanding and stated that the Option Reserve Shares have been classified as being excluded from shareholders’ equity for accounting purposes. Accordingly, the Reporting Persons have excluded the Option Reserve Shares from the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares for purposes of calculating and reporting the Reporting Persons’ beneficial ownership in this Schedule 13D.

Exhibit 99.8

Subscription Agreement

THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of November 9, 2010, by and between Solarfun Power Holdings Co., Ltd., an exempted company incorporated and validly existing with limited liability under the laws of Cayman Islands (the “Company”), and Hanwha Solar Holdings Co., Ltd., an exempted company incorporated and validly existing with limited liability under the laws of Cayman Islands (the “Investor”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Company has filed a registration statement on Form F-3, as amended, on June 27, 2008 and has filed or plans to file a preliminary prospectus supplement and a Rule 462(b) registration statement on or about the date hereof with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in connection with the offering by the Company of American Depositary Shares (the “Offered ADSs”), each representing five (5) ordinary shares of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”) (the “Offering”);

WHEREAS, the Company entered into a shareholder agreement with the Investor on September 16, 2010 (the “Shareholder Agreement”), pursuant to Section 3.1 of which the Investor has the right to purchase in connection with the Offering a certain number of Ordinary Shares from the Company;

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 3.1 of the Shareholder Agreement and contingent upon the closing of the Offering, the Investor wishes to acquire Ordinary Shares from the Company in a transaction exempt from registration pursuant to Regulation S of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Regulation S” and the “Securities Act”, respectively).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual promises hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Investment.

Pursuant to Regulation S and contingent upon the closing of the Offering and the closing of any exercise of the over-allotment option relating thereto (each, a “Closing”) of the Offering, the Company agrees to sell and the Investor agrees to buy a certain number of Ordinary Shares (the “Placed Shares”) from the Company that will result in the Investor maintaining after each such Closing the same level of beneficial ownership in the Company as it had immediately prior to the Offering, at a per Ordinary Share price (the “Purchase Price”) equal to 20% (reflecting the 5-to-1 ordinary share to ADS ratio) of the public offering price set forth on the cover of the prospectus supplement in connection with the Offering. For the purpose of calculating the number of the Placed Shares, the Additional Shares (as defined in the Share Issuance and Repurchase Agreement dated September 16, 2010, by and between the parties hereto) shall be deemed to have been issued to, and beneficially owned by, the Investor.


2. Conditions.

The Investor’s and the Company’s obligations under Section 1 of this Agreement are conditional upon and shall not become effective until each Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, under no circumstances shall the Investor’s beneficial ownership in the Company be increased to a level that would constitute a “make-whole change of control” or “change in control,” as such terms are defined in the Indenture dated as of January 28, 2008 by and between the Company and The Bank of New York, as a result of the execution or performance of this Agreement.

3. Settlement.

Subject to Section 2 of this Agreement, settlement of the Investor’s purchase of the Placed Shares pursuant to Section 1 of this Agreement will take place no later than the earlier of (i) seven (7) days after the date of each Closing, and (ii) immediately prior to the occurrence of any event or circumstance that results in a reduction in the beneficial ownership of the Investor in the Company to a level that negatively impacts any of the rights of the Investor under the Shareholder Agreement. On each such settlement date, the Investor shall pay to the Company via wire transfer of immediately available funds an amount equal to the Purchase Price multiplied by the number of Placed Shares purchased by the Investor in order to maintain after such Closing the same level of beneficial ownership in the Company as it had immediately prior to the Offering, and the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Investor a copy of the executed irrevocable instructions to Maples Finance Limited, the principal share registrar of the Company (the “Share Registrar”), instructing the Share Registrar to issue such Placed Shares to the Investor, and to deliver to the Investor at the address listed on the signature page to this Agreement, on an expedited basis, a certificate evidencing such Placed Shares, registered in the name of the Investor and an updated register of members of the Company.

4. Representations and Warranties.

(v) the Placed Shares purchased pursuant to this Agreement will be subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in Section 3.8 of the Shareholder Agreement and any additional lock-up agreements it entered into in connection with the Offering.

(i) The Company has been duly incorporated as a corporation with limited liability and is validly existing under the laws of Cayman Islands.

(ii) The Company has the right, corporate power and authority and has taken all actions required, including obtaining of all necessary governmental or regulatory approvals and consents from third parties, in order to execute and deliver, and to exercise their respective rights and perform their respective obligations under this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereunder.

(iii) This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes valid, legal and binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with its terms.

(iv) Neither the execution of this Agreement, nor the performance by the Company or its respective obligations under this Agreement (a) violates or will violate its memorandum and articles of association or other organizational documents, (b) violates or will violate any law, rule or regulation or any jurisdiction or stock exchange where its ADSs are listed, (c) conflicts with or results in a breach of any agreement of the Company or to which the Company or any of its respective assets are bound or will be bound, except where such violation, conflicts or breach will not have an adverse material effect on the Company, or (d) requires the consent or waiver of any third party.

(v) No directed selling efforts (as defined in Rule 902 of Regulation S) have been made by the Company, any of its affiliates or any person acting on its behalf with respect to any Placed Shares that are not registered under the Securities Act; and none of such persons has taken any actions that would result in the sale of the Placed Shares to the Investor under this Agreement requiring registration under the Securities Act.

(vi) The Placed Shares have been duly authorized and, when issued and paid for in accordance with this Agreement, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free and clear of all liens, other than restrictions on transfer provided for in the Shareholder Agreement or any additional lock-up agreements the Investor entered into in connection with the Offering or imposed by applicable securities laws, and shall not be subject to preemptive or similar rights. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Investor in this Agreement, the Placed Shares will be issued in compliance with all applicable federal, state and foreign securities laws.

5.1 (i) Unless otherwise notified by the relevant parties, all notices delivered hereunder shall be in writing and may be delivered by hand or given by facsimile to the related addresses listed beneath each party’s signature hereto.

(ii) Any notice delivered by hand shall be deemed to have been received when physically received by the person referred to in this Section 5.1 (including receipt by facsimile).

5.2 This Agreement and the documents referred to herein constitute the entire agreement among the parties and no party shall be liable or bound to any other party in any manner by any warranties, representations, or covenants except as specifically set forth herein or therein.

5.3 The representations, warranties and covenants of the Company and the Investor contained in or pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the settlement of the sale and purchase of the Placed Shares.
