**Introduction**

This Rule 13e-3 transaction statement on Schedule 13E-3, together with the exhibits hereto (this "**Transaction Statement**"), is being filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "**SEC**") pursuant to Section 13(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the "**Exchan**g**e Act**"), jointly by the following persons (each, a "**Filing Person**," and collectively, the "**Filing Persons**"):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Emeren Group Ltd, a BVI business company (the "**Company** ");

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Shurya Vitra Ltd., a BVI business company ()"**Parent** ");

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Emeren Holdings Ltd., a BVI business company ()"**Merger Sub** "); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Himanshu H. Shah, a U.S. citizen ()"**Mr. Shah** ").

This Transaction Statement relates to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 18, 2025 (as amended, and including all exhibits and schedules thereto, the "**Merger Agreement**"), by and among the Company, Parent and Merger Sub, pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein and among other things, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company with the Company surviving such merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the "**Merger**"). Parent and Merger Sub are affiliates of Mr. Shah, Shah Capital Management, Inc. ("**Shah Capital Management**") and Shah Capital Opportunity Fund LP ("**Shah Capital**").

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Mr. Ke Chen, the Company's Chief Financial Officer, and Mr. Enrico Bocchi, the Company's Executive Vice President, Europe (together with Shah Capital, the "**Rollover Holders**," and collectively with Parent, Merger Sub, Shah Capital Management and Mr. Shah, the "**Buyer Group Parties**") entered into a rollover and support agreement with Parent, which was amended to clarify that Shah Capital is a Rollover Holder on September 2, 2025 (as amended, the "**Rollover Agreement**"). Pursuant to the Rollover Agreement, the Rollover Holders have agreed, among other things, to vote their shares in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and the approval of the Merger and to the cancellation of their shares in exchange for newly issued shares of Parent.

If the Merger is completed, subject to the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the "**Effective Time**"), each ordinary share of the Company (collectively, the "**Company Ordinary Shares**") that is issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Company Ordinary Shares held by the Company as treasury shares or owned by Parent, Merger Sub or any other affiliate thereof (the "**Cancelled Shares**"), any Company Ordinary Shares as to which appraisal rights have been properly exercised in accordance with Section 179 of the BVI Business Companies Act, as amended (the "**BVI Companies Act**") (the "**Dissenting Shares**"), and any Company Ordinary Shares held by any Rollover Holder (the "**Rollover Shares**," and together with the Cancelled Shares and the Dissenting Shares, the "**Excluded Shares**")) will be automatically cancelled and converted into the right to receive cash in an amount equal to US$0.20, without interest thereon and subject to all applicable withholding (the "**Per Share Merger Consideration**"). Each American Depositary Share ("**ADS**"), representing ten Company Ordinary Shares, that is issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any ADSs representing Excluded Shares), will then represent the right to receive cash in an amount equal to US$2.00 per ADS, without interest (the "**Per ADS Merger Consideration**," and together with the Per Share Merger Consideration, the "**Merger Consideration**") less a US$0.05 per ADS cancellation fee pursuant to the terms of the deposit agreement and subject to all applicable withholding. The Cancelled Shares and the Rollover Shares will be cancelled for no consideration. The Dissenting Shares will be cancelled for their agreed or appraised fair value. Following the completion of the Merger, the Company Ordinary Shares and ADSs of the Company will no longer be publicly traded, and holders of such shares and ADSs that have been converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration or Per ADS Merger Consideration, as the case may be, will cease to have any ownership interest in the Company.

On July 3, 2025, Rahul Garg and Ritu Khurana, Kunal Shah and Shalin Y. Shah (collectively, the "**Supporting Holders**") executed and delivered to Parent a support agreement (the "**Support Agreement**"), pursuant to which the Supporting Holders have agreed to vote their shares in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and the approval of the Merger. The holdings of the Supporting Holders and the Buyer Group Parties collectively represent approximately 39.6% of the outstanding voting power of the Company as of the date of this Transaction Statement.

A special committee (the "**Special Committee**") of the board of directors of the Company (the "**Board**"), composed solely of three independent directors of the Company who are unaffiliated with the Buyer Group Parties, the Company or any of the management members of the Company, Mr. Martin Bloom, Mr. Ramnath Iyer, and Mr. Ramakrishnan (Ramki) Srinivasan, has reviewed and considered the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Merger (the "**Transactions**"). The Special Committee unanimously (a) determined that the Merger, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, is fair to, and in the best interests of, the Company and its shareholders and ADS holders excluding the Buyer Group Parties or affiliates (the "**Unaffiliated Company Holders**") and declared it advisable to enter into the Merger Agreement, (b) approved the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Merger Agreement, and (c) recommended that the Board direct that the authorization and approval of the Merger Agreement and the Transactions be submitted to a vote at a general meeting of the shareholders of the Company with the recommendation of the Board that the shareholders of the Company authorize and approve by way of a shareholders resolution the Merger Agreement and the Transactions.

The Board, with Mr. Shah recused from the deliberations and approval, unanimously (a) determined that the Merger, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, is fair to, and in the best interests of, the Company and its shareholders (including the Unaffiliated Company Holders), (b) approved the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Merger Agreement, and (c) directed that the authorization and approval of the Merger Agreement and the Transactions be submitted to a vote at a general meeting of the shareholders of the Company with the recommendation of the Board that the shareholders of the Company authorize and approve by way of a shareholders resolution the Merger Agreement and the Transactions.

The approval of the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement, which we refer to as the "Merger Agreement Proposal," requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding Company Ordinary Shares entitled to vote thereon which were present in person or represented by proxy at the general meeting of the shareholders of the Company (the "**Shareholders Meeting**").

Concurrently with the filing of this Transaction Statement, the Company is filing with the SEC a proxy statement (as amended, the "**Proxy Statement**") under Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act, pursuant to which the Board is soliciting proxies from shareholders of the Company in connection with the Merger.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <sup>1</sup> Aggregate number of ordinary shares (including shares represented by American depositary shares) to which this transaction applies: As of June 30, 2025, the maximum number of ordinary shares of Emeren Group Ltd (the "Company") to which this transaction applies is estimated to be 324,253,462. The aggregate number of ordinary shares excludes (i) 184,092,490 ordinary shares beneficially owned by Shah Capital Opportunity Fund LP and (ii) 4,870,270 ordinary shares subject to a rollover agreement with certain executives, which will be cancelled and extinguished without cash consideration. As such, the proposed maximum aggregate value of the transaction is the product of 324,253,462 ordinary shares and the US$0.20 per share merger consideration. The amount of the updated filing fee, calculated in accordance with Exchange Act Rule 0-11(b)(1) and the Securities and Exchange Commission Fee Rate Advisory for Fiscal Year 2025, was calculated by multiplying the proposed maximum aggregate value of transaction of US$64,850,692.40 by 0.0001531.
