Annual & Special Corporate Meetings/Company Information

Subtitle: - Shareholders approve retention of earnings, welcome the
decision to expand the corporate object and authorize the repurchase
of shares - Successful business development of the year 2009
continues in the 1st quarter 2010 - Profitable growth of the Group
expected in 2010

Konstanz (euro adhoc) - Konstanz, 17 June 2010 - At the annual
generating meeting held today in Singen, the shareholders of Sunways
AG (FWB: SWW; ISIN DE0007332207) passed various important resolutions
with respect to the further development of the Company. All of the
eleven items on the agenda were approved by a great majority. Three
resolutions will increase Sunways AG´s strategic flexibility in the
future: shareholders voted in favor of retaining the earnings of the
fiscal year 2009, expanding the corporate object as well as of a
contingent resolution on the acquisition of up to 10 % of the
Company´s own shares.

In his speech, Michael Wilhelm, the Chairman of the management board
of Sunways AG, explained to shareholders the business development in
the challenging fiscal year 2009 as well as in the 1st quarter of
2010, specifying the most important goals and factors for the
Company´s successful development in the future:

- profitable growth in the fiscal year 2010 - focus on core
competences, positioning the Company as a technology and quality
leader - development of new, innovative business segments

"Thanks to the strategic realignment started in 2008, the Company is
well prepared for the future", said Michael Wilhelm in his speech.
First successes have already become apparent in the fiscal year 2009
despite the difficult environment: in the fiscal year 2009, Sunways
AG generated sales from continuing operations - excluding the
subsidiary MHH Solartechnik GmbH sold as of 31 December 2009 - in
the amount of EUR 177.5 million. This corresponds to a more than 20 %
rise against 2008. The operating result (EBIT) in the fiscal year
2009 increased by EUR 6.3 million to EUR -0.5 million (2008: EUR -6.8
million). Mainly due to the sale of MHH Solartechnik, net income in
2009 amounted to EUR 16.9 million (2008: EUR -1.9 million) or EUR
1.46 per Sunways share (2008: EUR -0.17).

2010: Satisfactory business development and good prospects In the 1st
quarter 2010, Sunways AG achieved a marked rise in sales, operating
results (EBIT) and sales volumes across all product segments.
Compared to the 1st quarter 2009, sales increased by 52 % to EUR 44.3
million, EBIT rose by EUR 10 million to EUR 4.7 million and net
income reached EUR 2.1 million (Q1/2009: EUR -4.3 million). "We
intend to continue and further expand this positive development",
said Michael Wilhelm. "At the same time, we want to further
consolidate our position as technology and quality leader in
photovoltaics". In addition to expanding its core competences in
solar cells, solar modules and solar inverters as well as to
extending its distribution activities in Germany and abroad, Sunways
AG aims to enhance its competences in the project and consultancy
areas as well as to develop additional, innovative business segments.

Sunways AG still expects that the domestic demand for photovoltaic
components will continue to be brisk in the fiscal year 2010 and
anticipates a further upturn in international business. An expansion
of the inverter business will continue to be restricted by the
currently prevailing significant supply bottleneck in the world
market with respect to inverters components. Apart from this, Sunways
AG aims to double the sales volume of solar modules in the entire
fiscal year 2010 and expects a profitable growth on a consolidated
basis in the domestic and international markets.
