Item 1.02Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

STR Solar (Suzhou) Co. Ltd. (“STR China”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of STR Holdings, Inc. (“STR” or the “Company”), was a party to a Supply Agreement dated December 31, 2014 (the “Supply Agreement”), with Zhangjiagang Huhui Segpv Co. Ltd ("Huhui"), a solar module manufacturer, and an affiliate of Zhenfa Energy Group Co., Ltd., a Chinese limited liability company, and a significant beneficial holder of the Company’s common stock. Pursuant to the Supply Agreement, STR China agreed to supply Huhui with its requirements for the Company's encapsulant products. The initial term of the Supply Agreement was for one year (subject to certain extensions) and was thereafter automatically renewable for additional one year periods unless terminated by either party. The Supply Agreement further provided that Huhui’s obligations were contingent (unless otherwise provided in the Supply Agreement) upon (i) the delivery by STR China of an initial shipment of encapsulant products in accordance with Huhui’s specifications and (ii) the qualification of the encapsulant products by Huhui during a sample production run of not less than 30 days. STR China received a deposit of RMB 7,125,000 (approximately $1,148,000 at the then-current exchange rate) (the "Deposit") from Huhui during the year ended December 31, 2015, which was included in accrued liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2017.

 

Huhui did not complete its 30 day production run as contemplated under the Supply Agreement and on March 27, 2018, following the approval of the Company’s Special Committee of Continuing Directors, STR China entered into an agreement to terminate the Supply Agreement (the “Termination Agreement”). Pursuant to the Termination Agreement, Huhui agreed that STR China would retain the Deposit, and each of Huhui and STR China agreed to release the other from any liability or further obligations under the Supply Agreement.

 

The above description of the Supply Agreement and the Termination Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Supply Agreement and the Termination Agreement. The Supply Agreement is set forth as Exhibit 10.14 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, and the Termination Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, both of which are incorporated herein by reference.
