31,899,94733,206,377 -3.9SOURCEUnited AirlinesWorldwide Press Office of United Airlines, 1-312-997-8640. SUNNYVALE, Calif and XINYU CITY, China, Jan 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ LDK Solar Co., Ltd. (NYSE: LDK), a manufacturer of multicrystalline solarwafers, today provided an updated outlook for the fourth quarter of 2008.Based upon preliminary data for the fourth quarter, LDK Solar estimatesrevenue to be in the range of $425 to $435 million and wafer shipments between245 to 255 MW and gross margin between 10 and 13. This compares to itspreviously issued guidance for the fourth quarter of 2008 of revenue in therange of $555 to $565 million and wafer shipments in the range of 260 to 270MW, and gross margin between 18 and 21.Our capacity reached 1,460 MW atthe end of 2008.During the fourth quarter of 2008, LDK Solar experienced lower demand ascustomers requested to delay shipments until 2009 in light of the currentglobal economic crisis and tight credit markets.

The decrease in overall wafershipments during the quarter was partially offset by much higher than expectedOEM wafer shipments. The company also announced that it experienced a delay inramping production at its 1,000 MT polysilicon plant due to issues in thefinal stages of plant commissioning. While the optimization process has takenlonger than expected, the plant is currently in production, and is expected toramp up to its designed full capacity in mid 2009.Construction of the 15,000MT polysilicon plant remains on schedule and the Company expects to commencesilicon production in this facility during the second quarter of 2009.As a result of these dynamics affecting the global business environment,LDK Solar expects 2009 fiscal year results to be impacted by lower ASPs andlower wafer shipment volumes than previously anticipated. The company'supdated outlook for the full year of fiscal 2009 is as follows: Revenue to be in the range of $2.3 billion to $2.5 billion; Wafer shipments in the range of 1.57 GW to 1.67 GW; Annualized wafer production capacity to be 2.3 GW by the end of 2009; Gross margin between 22 and 27; and Production of between 3,000 and 5,000 MT of polysilicon in 2009."Late in the fourth quarter, we experienced a slowdown in our businessrelated to the current global financial crisis," stated Xiaofeng Peng,Chairman and CEO of LDK Solar.
