PINGDINGSHAN, China, April 5, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Yulong
Eco-Materials Ltd. (NASDAQ: YECO) ("Yulong" or the "Company"), a vertically integrated manufacturer of eco-friendly building
products located in Henan Province, today announced that on March 31, 2017, the
Company received a determination letter (the "Letter") from the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (the "NASDAQ") notifying the Company of
the NASDAQ Staff's determination (the "Determination") to delist the Company's securities from The NASDAQ Capital Market due to
its failure to regain compliance with Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the "Rule") because it had not filed its Annual Report on Form
10-K for the period ended June 30, and Quarterly Reports on Forms 10-Q for the periods ended September 30, and December 31, 2016,
respectively (the "Delinquent Reports"). Pursuant to the Letter, unless the Company requests an appeal of the Determination by
4:00 Eastern Time on April 7, 2017, trading of the Company's common stock will be suspended at the opening of business on April
11, 2017, and a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), causing the Company's
securities to be removed from listing and registration on The NASDAQ Stock Market.
On October 14 and November 22, 2016, the Company received two
notification letters (the "Notice") from NASDAQ advising the Company that it did not comply with the "Rule" because it had not
filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended June 30, and Quarterly Reports on Forms
10-Q for the periods ended September 30, and December 31, 2016,
respectively. The Company was provided an exception until April 12, 2017, to regain compliance with
the Rule. On March 24, 2017, the Company advised that it would be unable to regain compliance with
the Rule by April 12, 2017. As of the date of this press release, the Company has not regained
compliance with the Rule though it is in the process of preparing its annual report.
The Company intends to evaluate available options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with the Rule. The Company
currently intends to request a hearing before a Hearings Panel (the "Panel"). Such a request will stay the suspension of the
Company's securities and the filing of the Form 25-NSE pending the Panel's decision. At the hearing, the Company intends to
present a plan to regain compliance with the Rule and request that the Panel allow the Company additional time within which to
regain compliance. While the Company believes that it will be able to present a viable plan to regain compliance, there can be no
assurance that the Panel will grant the Company's request for a suspension of delisting or continued listing on NASDAQ.
