Seoul, South Korea | March 16, 2015 — Hanwha Q CELLS Co. Ltd. announced that its US entity has signed a $20 million three-year Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility with Wells Fargo Capital Finance.

The credit line will be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

Jay SEO, chief financial officer of Hanwha Q CELLS said, “We are pleased to have secured this credit line from Wells Fargo, one of the most well-respected US financial institutions and active financiers of renewable energy.
