REC Silicon - Delay Moses Lake shutdown decision until July 15
- 42
Fornebu, Norway - June 13, 2019: REC Silicon ASA previously announced that the FBR facility in Moses Lake, Washington would be placed in a long-term shutdown by June 30, 2019 if access to polysilicon markets in China was not restored.
The Company's Board of Directors has decided to delay placing the FBR facility in a long-term shutdown until July 15, 2019. This delay will enable the Company the time necessary to evaluate any developments which may indicate the re-opening of solar grade polysilicon markets in China as a result of expected talks between the United States and China at the G20 summit in Osaka, Japan on June 28 - 29, 2019.
Production at the FBR facility was curtailed in mid-May as previously announced by the Company.
Additional information regarding the shutdown of the FBR facility will be provided with the Company's second quarter earnings release on July 25, 2019.
