Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing

On June 12, 2014, China Shengda Packaging Group Inc. (the �Company�) received a letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market ("NASDAQ") notifying it of its failure to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 over the then preceding 30 consecutive trading days for its common stock as required by NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(1) (the "Bid Price Rule"). The letter stated that the Company had until December 9, 2014 to demonstrate compliance by maintaining a minimum closing bid price of at least $1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive trading days.

On December 10, 2014, NASDAQ notified the Company that while the Company had not regained compliance with the Bid Price Rule, it was eligible for an additional 180-day grace period, until June 8, 2015 (the �Expiration Date�), to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule. NASDAQ�s determination was based on the Company having met the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other applicable requirements for initial listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market, with the exception of the Bid Price Rule, and on the Company�s written notice to NASDAQ of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. NASDAQ also informed the Company that if the Company chooses to implement a reverse stock split, it must complete the split no later than ten business days prior to the Expiration Date in order to timely regain compliance.

The letter also disclosed that in the event the Company does not regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule by the Expiration Date, NASDAQ will provide written notification that the Company�s securities will be delisted. At that time, the Company may appeal NASDAQ's determination to delist its common stock to a NASDAQ Hearings Panel. The Company will monitor the closing bid price of its common stock and will consider various possible options, and, if necessary, it intends to affect a reverse stock split, to regain compliance by the Expiration Date.

The Company issued a press release on December 11, 2014, disclosing its receipt of the Nasdaq additional 180-day grace period notice. A copy of the press release is attached as exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
