(collectively, the “Registration Statement”) issued in connection with
its July 23, 2008 initial public offering (“IPO”) for violations of the

The complaint alleges that on July 23, 2008, GT Solar accomplished its
IPO of 30.3 million shares at $16.50 per share for net proceeds of $500
million, pursuant to the Registration Statement (the “Offering”). The
proceeds from the Offering went to GT Solar Holdings, LLC (“GT Solar
Holdings”). GT Solar Holdings intended to use the net proceeds it
received via the Offering to make a distribution to its shareholders.
In its first day of trading, GT Solar closed at $14.59 per share on
July 24, 2008.
The following day, on July 25, 2008, before the market opened, LDK
Solar Co., LTD (“LDK”), GT Solar’s largest customer, issued a press
release announcing that it had signed a contract to purchase production
equipment from one of GT Solar’s competitors. On this news, GT Solar’s
stock price declined to as low as $9.30 per share before closing at
$12.59 per share on July 25, 2008, losing 13% of its value in its
second day of trading.
