LINYI CITY, China, April 24, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- On April 18, 2017, American Lorain Corporation (NYSE MKT: ALN) (the "Company") received a letter from NYSE MKT LLC (the "Exchange") stating that the Exchange has determined that the Company is not in compliance with Sections 134 and 1101 of the NYSE MKT Company Guide (the "Company Guide") due to the Company's failure to timely file with the SEC its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. The letter also states that the Company's failure to timely file its Annual Report on Form 10-K is a material violation of its listing agreement with the Exchange and, therefore, pursuant to Section 1003(d) of the Company Guide, the Exchange is authorized to suspend and, unless prompt corrective action is taken, remove the Company's securities from the Exchange.

If the Company does not submit a Plan or the Company's Plan is not accepted by the Exchange, then the Company will be subject to delisting proceedings. Furthermore, if the Plan is accepted by the Exchange, but the Company is not in compliance with the continued listing standards of the Company Guide by October 18, 2017, or if the Company does not make progress consistent with the Plan during the Plan Period, then the Exchange staff will initiate delisting proceedings as appropriate.
