A class action is a type of lawsuit in which one or several entities prosecute claims on behalf of all members of a group of similarly-situated persons and entities to obtain monetary or other relief for the benefit of the entire group. Class actions avoid the necessity of each member of a class having to file his, her, or its own separate lawsuit to obtain relief. Class actions are used to decide legal and factual issues that are common to all members of a class.

This Notice was sent to you pursuant to an order of the Court because you, someone in your family, or an investment account for which you serve as a custodian may have purchased JKS ADS during the Class Period.

As a potential Class Member, you have a right to know about your options under the Court approved Settlement.

All Persons and Entities who purchased or otherwise acquired JinkoSolar Holding Co., LTD. New York Stock Exchange-Traded ADSs (NYSE:JKS) between May 13, 2010 and September 20, 2011, either in or traceable to the May 13, 2010 initial public offering or the November 4, 2010 secondary offering, or on the open market during the Class Period, and were damaged thereby.

Excluded from the Class, and their immediate family members are the following:

• Defendants
• JKS, and its officers, directors, employees, affiliates, legal representatives, predecessors, successors and assigns, and any entity in which any of them have a controlling interest or are a parent.

Pursuant to the Settlement, the Defendants have agreed to pay $5,050,000 in cash (the “Gross Settlement Fund”).

If you are a member of the Class, the Settlement will affect you. On March 11, 2016, the Court approved the Settlement, dismissing the Action with prejudice and all Class Members fully released and discharged the Defendants from all claims for relief arising out of or based on Lead Plaintiffs’ allegations. When a Person “releases” claims, that means that Person cannot sue the Defendants for any of the claims covered in by the release.

If you are a Class Member and you submit a valid and timely Claim Form, you will receive a payment based upon the distribution formula described in the Notice.

Each Person wishing to participate in the distribution must have timely submitted a valid Claim Form establishing membership in the Class, postmarked on or before January 12, 2016, and all required documentation.
