Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

As previously disclosed in the Form 10-Q for the Quarterly Period ended December 31, 2011 (the “Form -10-Q”) of Hoku Corporation (the “Corporation”), the Amended and Restated Supply Agreement dated as of February 26, 2009, as amended on November 25, 2009, December 18, 2010 and September 19, 2011 (the “Supply Agreement”) between Hoku Materials, Inc. (“Hoku Materials”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation and Jinko Solar Co., Ltd. (“Jinko”) required Hoku Materials to refund a portion of Jinko’s $20.0 million deposit on a monthly basis for the period from September 2011 to June 2012. Hoku Materials did not make all of these payments to Jinko. On June 13, 2012, Hoku Materials and the Corporation received a notice (the “Notice”) from Jinko stating that Jinko exercised its right to terminate the Supply Agreement because Hoku Materials failed to make these payments to Jinko.

Hoku Materials holds a total of $19.1 million of Jinko’s deposit, which was made as a prepayment for future deliveries of polysilicon. The Notice states that Jinko is entitled to receive an immediate payment of $28.7 million, or 150% of the amount of the outstanding deposit, plus accrued interest on the cash deposit, due to Jinko’s termination of the Supply Agreement.

The Corporation set forth in Item 1A of the Form 10-Q under the risk factor “If we are unable to renegotiate amendments to our supply agreements or if any of our supply agreements are terminated for any reason, our business will be harmed” the consequences that may arise from Jinko’s Notice. This risk factor is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.04. Triggering Events That Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement.

The information set forth in Item 1.02 above is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.04.

On the same date, the board of directors of the Corporation (the “Board”) appointed “Jeremy” Xiaoming Yin, Ph.D., the Corporation’s current President, as the acting Chief Executive Officer and President of the Corporation, effective July 1, 2012.
