Canadian Solar Files a EUR 50 Million Green
Medium Term Note Program in the Spanish MARF to Support Project Development Growth in the EMEA Region
Canadian
Solar EMEA Capital Markets, S.A.U., an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of Canadian Solar Inc. (the “Company” or “Canadian
Solar”) (NASDAQ: CSIQ), registered in Spain on July 21, 2026 a €50,000,000 Green Medium Term Note Program (the “Program”)
for admission to trading on the Spanish multilateral trading facility (MTF) for debt securities (MARF). Any payment under the notes issued
under the Program will be unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by the Company pursuant to a parent company guarantee dated July
15, 2026 (the “Guarantee”), subject to a maximum aggregate liability of €65,000,000 and a duration limitation on the
term of the Guarantee. The notes may qualify as “green bonds” pursuant to the International Capital Market Association (ICMA)
Green Bond Principles and the Green Financing Framework adopted by the Company in Europe, Middle East and Africa, or EMEA region. Canadian
Solar’s Green Financing Framework received a favorable second-party opinion from Sustainalytics.
The notes will only be offered and sold to non-U.S. persons outside
the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”). The notes have
not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act or with any securities regulatory authority of any state or other jurisdiction
of the United States. The notes may not be offered, sold, pledged or transferred within the United States absent registration or an applicable
exemption from the registration requirements.
In the European Union, the notes will only be directed to “qualified
investors” as defined in Regulation (EU) 2017/1129, including (i) eligible counterparties, as defined in Directive 2014/65/EU of
the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 May 2014 (the “MiFID II”) and the Spanish Securities Market Act, and (ii)
professional clients, as defined in MiFID II and the Spanish Securities Market Act, or any provision which may replace or supplement it
in the future.
With
the Program, Canadian Solar aims to foster its growth and pursue its business plan in the EMEA region, primarily using the fund proceeds
to purchase, finance and/or refinance solar energy and battery storage facilities, and to fund the construction, maintenance, refurbishment
and/or repowering of such facilities in the EMEA region and/or other OECD countries which the relevant Canadian Solar company envisages
to develop and operate, with the goal of allocating funds for the development of Eligible Green Projects, as well as for general corporate
purposes.
The notes will have a minimum denomination of €100,000 each (or
a minimum equivalent amount in any other currency), while their interest rates and maturities will be determined at the time of each issuance
and set out in the applicable final terms.
Safe Harbor/Forward-Looking Statements
This document does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation
of an offer to buy any notes, nor shall there be any offer, solicitation or sale of notes in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation
or sale would be unlawful. Any offering of notes will be subject to market and other conditions, and there can be no assurance that any
offering of notes will be made.
Certain
statements in this document, including but not limited to the use of proceeds, are forward-looking statements that involve a number of
risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially. These statements are made under the “Safe Harbor”
provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by
such terms as “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “estimates,”
the negative of these terms, or other comparable terminology. Factors that could cause actual results to differ include general business
and economic conditions and the state of the solar industry; governmental support for the deployment of solar power; future available
supplies of high-purity silicon; demand for end-use products by consumers and inventory levels of such products in the supply chain;
changes in demand from significant customers; changes in demand from major markets such as Japan, the U.S., India, China and Brazil;
changes in customer order patterns; changes in product mix; capacity utilization; level of competition; pricing pressure and declines
in average selling prices; delays in new product introduction; delays in utility-scale project approval process; delays in utility-scale
project construction; delays in the completion of project sales; continued success in technological innovations and delivery of
products with the features customers demand; shortage in supply of materials or capacity requirements; availability of financing; logistical
challenges that could increase the selling costs of CSI, exchange rate fluctuations; litigation; potential initiation of an anti-circumvention
investigation and other risks as described in the Company’s SEC filings, including its annual report on Form 20-F filed and the
note program of Canadian Solar EMEA Capital Markets, S.A.U. established on July 8, 2026. Although the Company believes that the expectations
reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, it cannot guarantee future results, level of activity, performance, or achievements.
Investors should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. All information provided in this document is as
of today’s date, unless otherwise stated, and Canadian Solar undertakes no duty to update such information, except as required
under applicable law.
