What is the status of the identification and replacement of modules affected by First Solars manufacturing excursion from the 2008-2009 timeframe?

0

— We are well underway in the examination and replacement of affected modules. — Our assessment validates that the affected modules represent a very small percentage of the modules produced within the 12 month period from June 2008-June2009. — We have made strong progress on global replacements of affected modules. As of December 2010 approximately 1/3 of the affected modules have been conclusively removed from a number of small and large affected sites and we have validated the post-replacement sites are performing as originally expected. — We expect to conclude the remaining excursion-related claims in 2011. — November 30th 2010 marked the conclusion of the period during which customers could file extended-warranty claims related to the excursion modules. We are now in the process of validating and verifying those claims. Many of those claims were filed based simply on the dates of the excursion (June 2008 to June 2009), and not due to any specific issue demonstrated in the field. —
