(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 Hanwha SolarOne 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) 20,062,348 Ordinary Shares (the “Loaned Shares”) issued 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”). The 209,249,448 Ordinary Shares and the 20,062,348 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 422,182,497 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2012, based upon information provided to the Reporting Persons by the Issuer, plus each of the following: (a) the 20,062,348 Loaned Shares issued to Hanwha pursuant to the Share Lending Agreement; and (b) 20,070,375 Ordinary Shares (represented by 4,014,075 ADSs, the “Loaned ADSs”) issued to Morgan Stanley & Co. International PLC (the “Dealer”) pursuant to that certain Share Issuance and Repurchase Agreement by and between the Issuer and the Dealer, dated as of January 23, 2008 (the “Dealer Agreement”), for an aggregate total of 462,315,220 outstanding Ordinary Shares.

The Issuer stated in the Issuer’s Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 30, 2012 (the “Annual Report”) that it does not believe that the Ordinary Shares represented by the Loaned ADSs or the Loaned Shares will increase the number of Ordinary Shares considered outstanding for the purpose of calculating beneficial ownership. For purposes of calculating beneficial ownership in the Annual Report, the Issuer excluded the 4,014,075 Loaned ADSs and the 20,062,348 Loaned Shares from the number of Ordinary Share equivalents deemed outstanding. The Issuer’s total outstanding Ordinary Shares as of June 30, 2012 would have been 462,315,220 if the 4,014,075 Loaned ADSs and the 20,062,348 Loaned Shares were included in the calculation of beneficial ownership.

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 49.6%.

Based on information provided to the Reporting Persons by the Issuer, a total of 212,935 Ordinary Shares (represented by 42,587 ADSs) have been reserved by the Issuer as of June 30, 2012 to allow for the participation in the ADS program by its employees pursuant to the Issuer’s equity incentive plans (the “Option Reserve Shares”). For purposes of calculating beneficial ownership in the Annual Report, the Issuer excluded the Option Reserve Shares from the number of Ordinary Share equivalents deemed outstanding and stated that it did not believe that the Option Reserve Shares would increase the number of Ordinary Shares considered outstanding for the purpose of calculating beneficial ownership. 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. The Issuer’s total outstanding Ordinary Shares as of June 30, 2012 would have been 462,528,155 if the 4,014,075 Loaned ADSs, the 20,062,348 Loaned Shares and the 212,935 Option Reserve Shares were included in the calculation of beneficial ownership. Inclusion or exclusion of the Option Reserve Shares would not materially change the Reporting Persons’ beneficial ownership percentage. In each case, the Reporting Persons’ beneficial ownership percentage would be approximately 49.6%.

(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 20,062,348 Loaned Shares. The 209,249,448 Ordinary Shares and the 20,062,348 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 and the 20,062,348 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 422,182,497 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2012, based on information provided to the Reporting Persons by the Issuer, plus each of the following: (a) the 20,062,348 Loaned Shares issued to Hanwha pursuant to the Share Lending Agreement, and (b) 20,070,375 Ordinary Shares (represented by the 4,014,075 Loaned ADSs) issued to the Dealer pursuant to the Dealer Agreement, for an aggregate total of 462,315,220 outstanding Ordinary Shares.

The Issuer stated in the Annual Report that it does not believe that the Ordinary Shares represented by the Loaned ADSs or the Loaned Shares will increase the number of Ordinary Shares considered outstanding for the purpose of calculating beneficial ownership. For purposes of calculating beneficial ownership in the Annual Report, the Issuer excluded the 4,014,075 Loaned ADSs and the 20,062,348 Loaned Shares from the number of Ordinary Share equivalents deemed outstanding. The Issuer’s total outstanding Ordinary Shares as of June 30, 2012 would have been 462,315,220 if the 4,014,075 Loaned ADSs and the 20,062,348 Loaned Shares were included in the calculation of beneficial ownership.

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 49.6%.

Based on information provided to the Reporting Persons by the Issuer, the Issuer has reserved 212,935 Option Reserve Shares as of June 30, 2012. For purposes of calculating beneficial ownership in the Annual Report, the Issuer excluded the Option Reserve Shares from the number of Ordinary Share equivalents deemed outstanding and stated that it did not believe that the Option Reserve Shares would increase the number of Ordinary Shares considered outstanding for the purpose of calculating beneficial ownership. 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. The Issuer’s total outstanding Ordinary Shares as of June 30, 2012 would have been 462,528,155 if the 4,014,075 Loaned ADSs, the 20,062,348 Loaned Shares and the 212,935 Option Reserve Shares were included in the calculation of beneficial ownership. Inclusion or exclusion of the Option Reserve Shares would not materially change the Reporting Persons’ beneficial ownership percentage. In each case, the Reporting Persons’ beneficial ownership percentage would be approximately 49.6%.

(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 20,062,348 Loaned Shares. The 209,249,448 Ordinary Shares and the 20,062,348 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 and the 20,062,348 Loaned Shares. Hanwha Corporation together with its affiliates hold approximately 42.73% 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 and the 20,062,348 Loaned Shares. Mr. Seung-Youn Kim, a representative director and executive officer of Hanwha Chemical and Hanwha Corporation, together with his affiliates hold approximately 32.01% 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 and the 20,062,348 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 422,182,497 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2012, based on information provided to the Reporting Persons by the Issuer, plus each of the following: (a) the 20,062,348 Loaned Shares issued to Hanwha pursuant to the Share Lending Agreement, and (b) 20,070,375 Ordinary Shares (represented by the 4,014,075 Loaned ADSs) issued to the Dealer pursuant to the Dealer Agreement, for an aggregate total of 462,315,220 outstanding Ordinary Shares.

The Issuer stated in the Annual Report that it does not believe that the Ordinary Shares represented by the Loaned ADSs or the Loaned Shares will increase the number of Ordinary Shares considered outstanding for the purpose of calculating beneficial ownership. For purposes of calculating beneficial ownership in the Annual Report, the Issuer excluded the 4,014,075 Loaned ADSs and the 20,062,348 Loaned Shares from the number of Ordinary Share equivalents deemed outstanding. The Issuer’s total outstanding Ordinary Shares as of June 30, 2012 would have been 462,315,220 if the 4,014,075 Loaned ADSs and the 20,062,348 Loaned Shares were included in the calculation of beneficial ownership.

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.

In each case, the Reporting Persons’ beneficial ownership percentage would be approximately 49.6%.

For purposes of calculating beneficial ownership in the Annual Report, the Issuer excluded the Option Reserve Shares from the number of Ordinary Share equivalents deemed outstanding and stated that it did not believe that the Option Reserve Shares would increase the number of Ordinary Shares considered outstanding for the purpose of calculating beneficial ownership. 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. The Issuer’s total outstanding Ordinary Shares as of June 30, 2012 would have been 462,528,155 if the 4,014,075 Loaned ADSs, the 20,062,348 Loaned Shares and the 212,935 Option Reserve Shares were included in the calculation of beneficial ownership. Inclusion or exclusion of the Option Reserve Shares would not materially change the Reporting Persons’ beneficial ownership percentage.

(a) As of the date hereof, Hanwha beneficially owns: (i) 209,249,448 Ordinary Shares, which includes 6,405,055 Ordinary Shares represented by an aggregate of 1,281,011 ADSs, and (ii) the 20,062,348 Loaned Shares issued to Hanwha pursuant to the Share Lending Agreement, representing approximately 49.6% 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 the 209,249,448 Ordinary Shares owned by Hanwha and the 20,062,348 Loaned Shares issued to Hanwha pursuant to the Share Lending Agreement. Hanwha Corporation together with its affiliates hold approximately 42.73% 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 owned by Hanwha and the 20,062,348 Loaned Shares issued 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 32.01% of the issued and outstanding shares of Hanwha Corporation and Mr. Kim may therefore be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the 209,249,448 Ordinary Shares owned by Hanwha and the 20,062,348 Loaned Shares issued 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 422,182,497 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2012, based on information provided to the Reporting Persons by the Issuer, plus each of the following: (i) the 20,062,348 Loaned Shares issued to Hanwha pursuant to the Share Lending Agreement; and (ii) 20,070,375 Ordinary Shares (represented by the 4,014,075 Loaned ADSs) issued to the Dealer pursuant to the Dealer Agreement, for an aggregate total of 462,315,220 outstanding Ordinary Shares.

The Issuer stated in the Issuer’s Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 30, 2012 (the “Annual Report”) that it does not believe that the Ordinary Shares represented by the Loaned ADSs or the Loaned Shares will increase the number of Ordinary Shares considered outstanding for the purpose of calculating beneficial ownership. For purposes of calculating beneficial ownership in the Annual Report, the Issuer excluded the 4,014,075 Loaned ADSs and the 20,062,348 Loaned Shares from the number of Ordinary Share equivalents deemed outstanding. The Issuer’s total outstanding Ordinary Shares as of June 30, 2012 would have been 462,315,220 if the 4,014,075 Loaned ADSs and the 20,062,348 Loaned Shares were included in the calculation of beneficial ownership.

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 49.6%.

Based on information provided to the Reporting Persons by the Issuer, a total of 212,935 Ordinary Shares (represented by 42,587 ADSs) have been reserved by the Issuer as of June 30, 2012 to allow for the participation in the ADS program by its employees pursuant to the Issuer’s equity incentive plans (the “Option Reserve Shares”). For purposes of calculating beneficial ownership in the Annual Report, the Issuer excluded the Option Reserve Shares from the number of Ordinary Share equivalents deemed outstanding and stated that it did not believe that the Option Reserve Shares would increase the number of Ordinary Shares considered outstanding for the purpose of calculating beneficial ownership. 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. The Issuer’s total outstanding Ordinary Shares as of June 30, 2012 would have been 462,528,155 if the 4,014,075 Loaned ADSs, the 20,062,348 Loaned Shares and the 212,935 Option Reserve Shares were included in the calculation of beneficial ownership. Inclusion or exclusion of the Option Reserve Shares would not materially change the Reporting Persons’ beneficial ownership percentage. In each case, the Reporting Persons’ beneficial ownership percentage would be approximately 49.6%.
