Emeren Group Ltd. (NYSE: SOL) confirmed that its extraordinary general meeting of shareholders, held on December 9 2025, approved the Merger Agreement with Shurya Vitra Ltd. and Emeren Holdings Ltd. The meeting was quorate and required no additional proxy solicitation, allowing the Merger Sub to merge into Emeren Group without delay.
The transaction values the company at $102.6 million, with shareholders receiving $0.20 per ordinary share or $2.00 per American Depositary Share. Shareholder support was strong, with 92.8 % voting in favor of the merger agreement and 91.1 % approving the advisory compensation package. The deal converts Emeren into a wholly owned subsidiary of Shurya Vitra, effectively taking the company private.
The Merger Agreement was first announced on June 18 2025 and amended on September 2 2025. While the exact closing date is not disclosed, the structure of the deal and the unanimous shareholder backing suggest a close in the first quarter of 2026. Analysts have noted that the offer price is below the company’s asset base and prior valuation estimates, raising concerns about whether shareholders receive fair value, but the high approval rate indicates confidence in the strategic rationale.
Emeren Group is a global solar project developer, owner, and operator with a portfolio that includes battery energy storage systems. The company has struggled to achieve profitability over the past twelve months, though management expects a turnaround. The going‑private transaction is viewed as a means to reduce regulatory burdens, gain operational flexibility, and potentially restructure the business away from public market pressures.
The merger represents a significant shift in Emeren’s capital structure and strategic trajectory. By becoming a private entity under Shurya Vitra, the company can pursue long‑term investments and operational changes without the scrutiny of public markets, while shareholders receive a fixed cash consideration. The transaction underscores the challenges faced by solar developers in a competitive environment and the importance of strategic alignment to unlock value.
