ZHENGZHOU, China, Nov. 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- 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 it has regained compliance with listing requirements of The NASDAQ Global Select Market that require maintenance of a minimum $1.00 per share bid price, following the recent one-for-ten reverse stock split.

As previously reported on June 6, 2014, China Gerui received a written notice (the "Notice") from the Listing Qualifications department of The NASDAQ Stock Market ("NASDAQ") indicating that the Company was 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.

Also as previously reported on November 6, 2014, China Gerui's Board of Directors approved a one-for-ten reverse stock split which was intended to increase the per share trading price of the Company's outstanding ordinary shares.   

On November 21, 2014, China Gerui received a letter from NASDAQ stating that because the Company maintained a closing bid price of its ordinary shares equal to or in excess of $1.00 per share for the last 10 consecutive trading days, between November 7, 2014 and November 20, 2014, they determined that China Gerui was in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement.
