HANGZHOU, China, Dec. 11, 2014 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- China Shengda Packaging Group Inc. (NASDAQ: CPGI) ("Shengda" or the "Company"), a leading Chinese paper packaging company, today announced it received a letter from NASDAQ (the "NASDAQ Notice"), granting the Company an additional 180-day period, or until June 8, 2015, to regain compliance with NASDAQ's minimum $1.00 bid price per share rule (the "Bid Price Rule") for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market.

The NASDAQ Notice, dated December 10, 2014, 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.
