"GT Solar stakeholder to sell ten million shares" (SOLR)

From NewEnergyWorldNetwork:

GT Solar International has announced a secondary offering of ten million shares by one stakeholder, just months after it made a $24m acquisition.
 
Alongside the offering, it will sell up to 15 million additional shares to UBS Securities in advance of an offering of exchangeable notes.
