尚德和MEMC签订10年硅片供货意向书，条件是尚德提供无息贷款或信用担保用于MEMC扩产，同时保证MEMC以4.99％的比例入股尚德。
（最近上游厂商以入股为条件提供长期硅料的做法很普遍，尚德如上所述，茂迪原先也有这个说法，但和MEMC的谈判已终止，见下条新闻。英利据说也遇上这个情况，但感觉苗对原料信心较足，目前没传出同意入股的消息。对苗，股权就是生命）
MEMC and Suntech Announce Solar Wafer Supply Letter of Intent
Thursday July 6, 8:07 am ET
ST. PETERS, Mo. and BEIJING, July 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MEMC Electronic Materials, Inc. (NYSE: WFR - News) and Suntech Power Holdings, Ltd. (NYSE: STP - News), one of the world's top producers of solar cells and modules, announced that they have signed a non-binding Letter of Intent ("LOI") for the supply of solar grade silicon wafers.

Under the terms outlined in the LOI, MEMC will supply solar wafers to Suntech over a 10-year period, with pre-determined pricing, on a take or pay basis beginning in the first quarter of 2007. Sales of the wafers over the 10-year period would generate between $5 billion and $6 billion in revenue for MEMC. As part of the arrangement and in order for MEMC to meet Suntech's supply requirements, Suntech will advance funds to MEMC in the form of an interest-free loan or security deposit which will be used by MEMC for expansion of MEMC's manufacturing capacity. In addition, MEMC will receive a warrant to purchase up to a 4.99% equity stake in Suntech.
"Suntech is a fast growing player in the solar market, and we are pleased with the prospect of helping them achieve a leading role in the marketplace," commented Nabeel Gareeb, MEMC's Chief Executive Officer. "The solar market is growing at an impressive pace at over 30% per year, and MEMC is well positioned to capitalize on the opportunities available in this marketplace. We have been a leader in wafer manufacturing for over 40 years, and are excited about the opportunity to complete our expansion into this fast-growing adjacent space, while staying focused on our core competency of making wafers."
"We're pleased to pursue this long term wafer supply relationship with MEMC," said Dr. Zhengrong Shi, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Suntech. "Locking in a steady supply of solar wafers is key to our ability to increase production output while maintaining our focus on innovation. We look forward to a long relationship with MEMC that will benefit our customers as the demand for alternative energy, and solar power in particular, continues to grow."
The LOI reflects the parties' intent to conclude a definitive agreement in August 2006. MEMC and Suntech cannot assure that the definitive agreement will be concluded within this time frame, or at all. Execution of the definitive agreement is contingent on agreement on all material terms and other customary closing conditions for transactions of this nature.
