SinoTech Announces Receipt of Notice of Additional Deficiency From NASDAQ and
Resignation of Independent Director and Legal Counsels

 

Beijing, October 4, 2011 - SinoTech Energy Limited (Nasdaq:CTE) (“SinoTech” or the “Company”), a provider of enhanced oil recovery (“EOR”) services in China, today announced that it has received a letter dated September 26, 2011, from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) stating that an additional basis for delisting the Company’s securities from the Nasdaq Stock Market is that Ernst & Young Hua Ming has withdrawn its audit opinion, the Company is delinquent in its periodic reports, and the Company therefore is not in compliance with Listing Rule 5250(c)(1). The Company is planning to request a stay of the delisting of the Company’s stock resulting from the additional alleged basis for the delisting.

 

The Company announced that Ms. Jing Liu has resigned from her position as an independent director of the Company and as Chair of the Special Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), which was formed to conduct an independent investigation into allegations made in a report posted on alfredlittle.com and other matters.

 

Ms. Liu cited several bases for her resignation, including, without limitation, her belief that the Special Committee was not allowed to exercise independently the authority vested in it by the Board to conduct an investigation.

 

The Company announced that Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP has resigned from its position as the legal counsel of the Company. The Company also announced that, following Ms. Liu’s resignation, Shearman & Sterling LLP has resigned from its position as legal counsel to the Special Committee of the Board.

 

The Company is planning on appointing another independent director in the near future who will replace Ms. Liu.
