Recent Developments

    Share Repurchase Program – During the first quarter of 2013, the Company did not make any repurchases under its share repurchase program. Since the inception of the program, the Company has repurchased an aggregate of 3,153,897 ADS, representing 3,153,897 ordinary shares of the Company from the open market for an aggregate consideration of approximately US$8.6 million (excluding commissions).

"We have positioned Ming Yang to take advantage of the recovery in the market for wind turbine generators in 2013," commented Mr. Chuanwei Zhang, chairman and chief executive officer of Ming Yang. "Our 8.7% market share in China in 2012, in terms of newly installed capacity according to Chinese Wind Energy Association, is a clear vindication of our strategy to focus on offering leading edge, large capacity WTGs and innovative business solutions in China."

"As the renewable industry in China continues its recovery and downstream customers see tangible improvement in their subsidy rebates, Ming Yang continues to expect increased market demand from its customers in 2013. During the previous downturn, Ming Yang had increased its market share, and now with the market in recovery, it expects to continue to enhance its leading market position."

"We increased shipment and revenues for our 2.0MW WTGs in the first quarter of 2013. It was the first time that newly signed orders for 2.0MW WTGs exceeded those of 1.5MW WTGs. We expect 2.0MW-class and above WTGs to have firmer pricing and more room for cost reduction. As WTG pricing in China continues to edge slowly upwards, we believe our products are well placed to take advantage of current market opportunities in China and beyond."
