Business Overview MEMC designs, manufactures, and sells silicon wafers Semiconductor wafers and solar wafers Solar “projects” through Sun Edison Based in St. Peters, MO One of four wafer companies with 10%+ market share NYSE Ticker: WFR
5
What is a wafer? Wafers are the foundation on which the world’s semiconductors and solar cells are built All the processes of a micro device are conducted on a wafer Increased wafer sizes have increased device performance and reduced production costs 50mm, 100mm, 150mm & 200 mm wafers (top) 45nm (bottom)

Geographic Presence Source: 2009 Annual Report
7
Business Overview Semiconductor Materials ($7B market size) Continuous technological development and product innovation Solar Materials ($10B market size) Intense cost pressures and competition from thin-film technologies Solar Energy ($39B market size) Very competitive in terms of pricing and continuing evolution of technologies

Forecasted Demand
10
Sun Edison Acquisition November 20, 2009 Vertical integration strategy – closer to end customer North America’s largest solar energy service provider Development of solar power plants and commercialization of solar energy Solar project “manager” Construction & selling solar projects Selling electricity Ongoing maintenance & solar services
11
Sun Edison Acquisition Business segment realignment Solar Materials Materials Business Semiconductor MaterialsSolar Energy (Sun Edison) Sun Edison will retain name, become subsidiary of MEMC $314.6 million purchase price Negative initial reaction by market $285 million of goodwill, $300+ million of debt Increased customer base Kohl’s, Staples, City of San Diego, Xcel Energy

Sun Edison Acquisition Global Solar Capacity Sun Edison Expandable Market ROW Japan China India U.S. France Italy Spain Germany Canada Source: 2010 Capital Markets Day Presentation
13
Sun Edison Acquisition 100+ Mws under management 3 billion kw/hrs contracted for 20 years 2009 accomplishments: 40 Mw, 135 systems installed 2010 goals: >100 Mws installed, 1 Gw backlog MEMC’s growth going forward/highly uncertain though 20-yr contract, price pegged at or below cost of grid power Economically sensible only when there are substantial subsidies (Spain)
14
Sun Edison Acquisition Customer Success Story – Kohl’s Largest rooftop solar rollout in U.S. history System Type: Roof-mounted solar panels System Size: 25 megawatts across 65 sites in California Annual Savings: Reduced energy operating expenses Capital outlay for Kohl’s: $0 System will provide 20-30% of each store’s power
15
SWOT Analysis - Strengths 50 years in the wafer industry Wide range of products Diversified geographic presence Sales in U.S., Taiwan, China, Europe Strategic long term contracts 10-yr contracts worth about $10-12.5 billion Strong R&D $40 million in 2009
16
SWOT Analysis - Weaknesses Operating disruptions Equipment failure in August 2009 at Pasadena, Texas facility decreased sales and gross margins Low operating efficiency Declining asset turnover Reduced financial flexibility Significant capital diverted to Sun Edison business
17
SWOT Analysis - Opportunities Long-term growth in renewable energy Potential increase in government support and investor demand as oil/commodity prices rise Rebound in semiconductor shipments worldwide Solar projects become more attractive as costs come down due to technology improvements
18
SWOT Analysis - Threats Government subsidies Sun Edison would not be profitable without favorable government subsidies Concentration of the buyers One customer in Materials Business accounted for 23% of 2009 revenues Top three customers accounted for 39% of 2009 total revenues
19
Porter’s Five Forces
20
Competitors Based on the following criteria: Initial list of competitors provided by MEMC’s 10-k Biggest competitors from each segment (solar wafers, semiconductor wafers, and solar projects) Attempted to match revenues and markets
21
Trina Solar Integrated solar-power products manufacturer Based in China with customers throughout the world Major competitor of MEMC in Germany, Spain, Italy, and the United States Currently produces more solar energy (megawatts) than MEMC
22
Shin-Etsu Japanese-based chemical manufacturing company Wafer manufacturing = 40% of revenues, 41% of total assets Wafer sales 3x greater than MEMC’s wafer sales Net income fell 60% last year
23
SUMCO Japanese-based manufacturing company mainly engaged in silicon production Also produces silicon wafers for solar batteries Similar in size and revenues to WFR Revenues decreased 44% due to lower demand in North America and Japan (~85% of total revenue)
24
SolarWorld AG German-based manufacturer of silicon solar wafers, solar cells, and solar modules Competes with WFR in the solar cells and panels segment Top industry participant 38% drop in net income year-over-year
25
Sun Edison Competitors First Solar Manufacturer of solar modules and solar power systems based in Tempe, AZ Acquired OptiSolar to increase exposure to solar power project development Revenues of $2.7B (66% increase year-over-year) SunPower Producer of high performance solar electric power technologies (solar panels & invertors) Acquired Tilt Solar in 2009 Revenues of $977M
26
Multiples Valuation More weight toward P/B and P/S as they were more stable than EV/EBITDA Out of the eight competitors, most had negative earnings history; therefore we used forward P/E
