ZHENGZHOU, China, June 6, 2014 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --China Gerui Advanced Materials Group Limited (NASDAQ: CHOP) ("China Gerui," or the "Company"), a leading high- precision, cold-rolled steel producer in China, today announced that on June 2, 2014, it received a written notice (the "Notice") from the Listing Qualifications department of The Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") indicating that the Company is not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 per share set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Select Market.

In addition, following the initial 180 day period, China Gerui may be eligible for an additional 180 day period to regain compliance, subject to China Gerui, at that time, transferring its securities to The Nasdaq Capital Market and satisfying certain other requirements.

At present, China Gerui will work to regain compliance during the initial 180 day compliance period and will actively monitor its performance with respect to the listing standards. The notification letter has no effect at this time on the listing of the Company's ordinary shares and will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker symbol "CHOP."
