(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) 163,267,844 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 will be 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 represented to Hanwha that as
of September 16, 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 163,267,844 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 290,708,739 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding, as reported in the Issuers Report
of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 20-F filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (
SEC
) on May 25, 2010, as amended by the Issuers Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 20-F/A filed with the SEC on
June 29, 2010 (as amended, the
Form 20-F
), plus each of the following: (a) 36,455,089 Ordinary Shares issued to Hanwha on September 16, 2010 pursuant to that certain Share Purchase Agreement, dated as of
August 3, 2010, by and between the Issuer and Hanwha Chemical (the
Issuer SPA
); (b) 30,672,689 Initial Loaned Shares issued to Hanwha pursuant to the Share Lending Agreement; (c) 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; and (d) 45,098,055 Ordinary Shares (represented by 9,019,611 Loaned ADSs) issued to the Dealer
pursuant to the Dealer Agreement; for an aggregate total of 417,341,902 outstanding Ordinary Shares.
The Issuer stated in the Form 20-F that
it does not believe that the Ordinary Shares represented by the Loaned ADSs will increase the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding. For purposes of calculating beneficial ownership in the Form 20-F, the Issuer excluded the 9,019,611 Loaned ADSs
from the number of Ordinary Share equivalents deemed outstanding. As noted in the Form 20-F, the Issuers total outstanding Ordinary Shares would have been 335,806,794 if the 9,019,611 Loaned ADSs were included in the calculation of beneficial
ownership.
Due to similarities between the Dealer Agreement and the Share Lending Agreement, it is expected that the Issuer would not treat
any of the Loaned Shares 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 163,267,844 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%.
3
The Issuer stated in the Form 20-F that during 2009, it issued 2,200,000 Ordinary Shares to its share
depository bank, which will be used to settle stock option awards upon their exercise (the
Option Reserve Shares
). According to the Issuers statements in the Form 20-F, no consideration was received by the Issuer for
the issuance of the Option Reserve Shares and any of the Option Reserve Shares not used in the settlement of stock option awards will be returned to the Issuer. The Issuer further stated in the Form 20-F that the Option Reserve Shares are legally
issued and outstanding but are treated as escrowed shares for accounting purposes and therefore the Issuer excluded the Option Reserve Shares from the computation of earnings per share. Moreover, for purposes of calculating beneficial ownership in
the Form 20-F, the Issuer excluded the Option Reserve Shares from the number of Ordinary Share equivalents deemed outstanding. 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 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 163,267,844 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 163,267,844 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 outstanding common/voting shares of Hanwha Chemical and Hanwha Corporation may therefore be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the 163,267,844 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
35.81% of the outstanding common/voting shares of Hanwha Chemical and Mr. Seung-Youn Kim may therefore be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the 163,267,844 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 290,708,739 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding, as reported in the Form 20-F, plus each of the following: (a) 36,455,089 Ordinary Shares issued to Hanwha on September 16, 2010 pursuant to
the Issuer SPA; (b) 30,672,689 Initial Loaned Shares issued to Hanwha pursuant to the Share Lending Agreement; (c) 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; and (d) 45,098,055 Ordinary Shares (represented by 9,019,611 Loaned ADSs) issued to the Dealer pursuant to the Dealer Agreement; for an aggregate total of 417,341,902 outstanding
Ordinary Shares.
The Issuer stated in the Form 20-F that it does not believe that the Ordinary Shares represented by the Loaned ADSs will
increase the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding. For purposes of calculating beneficial ownership in the Form 20-F, the Issuer excluded the 9,019,611 Loaned ADSs from the number of Ordinary Share equivalents deemed outstanding. As noted in the
Form 20-F, the Issuers total outstanding Ordinary Shares would have been 335,806,794 if the 9,019,611 Loaned ADSs were included in the calculation of beneficial ownership.
Due to similarities between the Dealer Agreement and the Share Lending Agreement, it is expected that the Issuer would not treat any of the Loaned Shares
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 the Reporting Persons excluded the Loaned Shares, they would be
deemed to beneficially own 163,267,844 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%.
12
The Issuer stated in the Form 20-F that during 2009, it issued 2,200,000 Option Reserve Shares. According to
the Issuers statements in the Form 20-F, no consideration was received by the Issuer for the issuance of the Option Reserve Shares and any of the Option Reserve Shares not used in the settlement of stock option awards will be returned to
the Issuer. The Issuer further stated in the Form 20-F that the Option Reserve Shares are legally issued and outstanding but are treated as escrowed shares for accounting purposes and therefore the Issuer excluded the Option Reserve Shares from
the computation of earnings per share. Moreover, for purposes of calculating beneficial ownership in the Form 20-F, the Issuer excluded the Option Reserve Shares from the number of Ordinary Share equivalents deemed outstanding. 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.

), pursuant to which GE II agreed to sell to

Yonghua Solar SPA
and together with the Issuer SPA and the GE SPA, the
SPAs
) with Yonghua Solar Power Investment Holding, Ltd., a British Virgin
Islands company (
Yonghua Solar
), pursuant to which Yonghua Solar agreed to sell to Hanwha Chemical and Hanwha Chemical agreed to purchase from Yonghua Solar an aggregate of 38,634,750 Ordinary Shares at a price of $2.32 per
Ordinary Share for total proceeds of $89,632,620. On September 6, 2010, Hanwha Chemical and Hanwha entered into an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, pursuant to which Hanwha Chemical assigned all of its right, title, claim, oblgation and
interest in and to each of the SPAs, including the right to acquire the Ordinary Shares and ADSs thereunder, to Hanwha. The transactions contemplated by the SPAs were consummated on September 16, 2010, whereby Hanwha acquired an aggregate of
156,862,789 Ordinary Shares and 1,281,011 ADSs.
Share Lending Agreement
Concurrently with the closing of the transactions contemplated under the SPAs, the Issuer issued an aggregate of 30,672,689 Ordinary Shares (the
Initial Loaned Shares
) to Hanwha pursuant to a Share Issuance and Repurchase Agreement, dated as of September 16, 2010, by and between Hanwha and the Issuer (the

Dealer
), dated as of January 23,

Dealer Agreement
). The Issuer represented to Hanwha that as of September 16, 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
15
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.
Shareholder Agreement
Concurrently with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Issuer SPA, Hanwha also entered into a Shareholder Agreement with the Issuer, dated
as of September 16, 2010 (the
Shareholder Agreement
). The material terms of the Shareholder Agreement are as follows:
Registration Rights and Preemptive Rights
Under the Shareholder Agreement, Hanwha received certain registration rights which give Hanwha the right to demand or participate in registrations of
securities of the Issuer with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
SEC
). In addition, the Issuer granted Hanwha certain preemptive rights that will give Hanwha the right to participate in subsequent offerings of securities
by the Issuer, subject to certain limitations.
Board Appointees and Committee Participation
Pursuant to the Shareholder Agreement, Hanwha has the right to appoint up to three members to the Issuers board of directors (the
Board
), depending upon Hanwhas beneficial ownership percentage, as follows: (i) so long as Hanwha beneficially holds at least 40% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares, it will have the right to appoint three members to

the commencement of an offer to acquire majority control of the Issuer, after September 16, 2011, Hanwha will not acquire more than 65% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares unless such acquisition is consummated pursuant to either, in
Hanwhas sole discretion, (a) a tender offer to acquire all of the outstanding Ordinary Shares not owned by Hanwha, which offer is
16
approved by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Ordinary Shares not owned by Hanwha, or (b) a merger or other negotiated transaction with the Issuer, which transaction is approved
by the independent members of the Board and the holders of a majority of the outstanding Ordinary Shares not owned by Hanwha. Hanwha further agreed not to sell its Ordinary Shares on or prior to September 16, 2011 without the prior approval of
the Issuers independent directors, and that after September 16, 2011, it will not sell more than 25% of the total number of issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares during any 12-month period, except in an underwritten public offering or a
privately-negotiated transaction. Hanwha further agreed, subject to certain exceptions, that it will not induce, encourage or solicit any employee to terminate his, her or its employment with the Issuer or induce, encourage or solicit any employee
to accept employment or a consulting agreement with any other entity during the term of the Shareholder Agreement and for a period of four months thereafter.
Post-Closing Annual Meeting
Pursuant to the Shareholder Agreement, the Issuer also agreed to include the following items on the agenda at the next annual meeting of the shareholders

agreed to vote all of the Ordinary Shares held by it to approve each of the foregoing items.
The foregoing descriptions of the SPAs, the
Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the Share Lending Agreement and the Shareholder Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full texts of the agreements, which are filed as Exhibits 2-7 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 Issuers operations, assets, prospects and business development, the
Issuers 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 Hanwhas 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 Issuers business or
corporate structure; (g) changes in the Issuers 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.
|
(a) As of the date hereof, Hanwha beneficially owns: (i) 163,267,844 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 the 163,267,844 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 outstanding common/voting shares of Hanwha Chemical and Hanwha Corporation may therefore be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the 163,267,844 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 35.81% of the outstanding common/voting shares of Hanwha Chemical and Mr. Kim may therefore be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the 163,267,844 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 290,708,739 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding, as reported in the Issuers Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on
May 25, 2010, as amended by the Issuers Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 20-F/A filed with the SEC on June 29, 2010 (as amended, the
Form 20-F
), plus each of the following: (i) 36,455,089 Ordinary
Shares issued to Hanwha on September 16, 2010 pursuant to the Issuer SPA; (ii) 30,672,689 Initial Loaned Shares issued to Hanwha pursuant to the Share Lending Agreement; (iii) 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; and (iv) 45,098,055 Ordinary Shares (represented by 9,019,611 Loaned ADSs) issued to the Dealer pursuant to the
Dealer Agreement; for an aggregate total of 417,341,902 outstanding Ordinary Shares.
The Issuer stated in the Form 20-F that it does not
believe that the Ordinary Shares represented by the Loaned ADSs will increase the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding. For purposes of calculating beneficial ownership in the Form 20-F, the Issuer excluded the 9,019,611 Loaned ADSs from the number
of Ordinary Share equivalents deemed outstanding. As noted in the Form 20-F, the Issuers total outstanding Ordinary Shares would have been 335,806,794 if the 9,019,611 Loaned ADSs were included in the calculation of beneficial ownership.
Due to similarities between the Dealer Agreement and the Share Lending Agreement, it is expected that the Issuer would not treat any of the
Loaned Shares 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 163,267,844 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 Form 20-F that during 2009, it
issued 2,200,000 Ordinary Shares to its share depository bank which will be used to settle stock option awards upon their exercise (the
Option Reserve Shares
). According to the Issuers statements in the Form 20-F, no
consideration was received by the Issuer for the issuance of the Option Reserve Shares and any of the Option Reserve Shares not used in the settlement of stock option awards will be returned to the Issuer. The Issuer further stated in the Form 20-F
that the Option Reserve Shares are legally issued and outstanding but are treated as escrowed shares for accounting purposes and therefore the Issuer excluded the Option Reserve Shares from the computation of earnings per share. Moreover, for
purposes of calculating beneficial ownership in the Form 20-F, the Issuer excluded the Option Reserve Shares from the number of Ordinary Share equivalents deemed outstanding. 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.
