New overall organizational structure

REC continues to focus on strengthening its competitiveness through successful
ramp-up of new production capacity and improving operational performance. To
fully leverage the advantages of being an integrated solar energy company, it
has been decided to consolidate REC Wafer and REC Solar, including all of REC's
activities in Singapore, under one management, headed up by EVP REC Solar and
Group COO, John Andersen, Jr. EVP REC Wafer Einar Kilde has decided to pursue
international career opportunities outside REC.

REC's current comprehensive capacity expansion program has now been completed
and as a result of this REC's EVP Projects Matthew Shippey will in the near
future be leaving REC. REC Projects will thereafter report to CFO Bjørn Brenna.

"Einar and Matthew have been instrumental in the construction of REC's Singapore
facility and the new Silicon plants in the US. We thank them for their valuable
contributions to the development of REC, and we wish them the best of luck in
their future endeavors", says CEO Ole Enger.

Following the organizational changes, REC is expecting to realize further
synergies and cost savings through a more efficient organization.

Due to these changes, from fourth quarter 2010 and onwards REC will report
financial results with segment information for REC Silicon, REC Wafer (Norway)
and REC Solar (wafers, cells & modules in Singapore and cells & modules in
Scandinavia). There will be no changes to the legal structure of companies
within the Group.
