Group 1 - GCL-Poly Energy, a leading player in the photovoltaic granular silicon sector, announced a strategic financing agreement with Infini Capital, a well-known international investment institution backed by a Middle Eastern sovereign fund, raising approximately HKD 54.46 billion (around USD 7 billion) through a private placement of about 4.736 billion shares [1] - The funds raised will be primarily used for three purposes: to reserve capital for supply-side reform and structural adjustment of polysilicon production capacity, to explore a second growth curve through silane gas, and to optimize the company's capital structure to stabilize its equity structure [1] - The current polysilicon sector is undergoing supply-side reform, while the market demand for upstream silane gas is rapidly increasing, driven by the upgrading of photovoltaic cell technology and applications in energy storage, integrated circuits, and display panels [1] Group 2 - GCL-Poly Energy and Infini Capital plan to jointly establish a specialized industrial fund aimed at integrating inefficient and low-quality excess capacity within the industry [2] - The fund will focus on market-based acquisitions, professional restructuring, and innovative upgrades to promote the concentration of resources towards high-quality production capacity, guiding the industry back to the essence of value creation and building a healthy, orderly, and sustainable industrial ecosystem [2]
