Qiao Xing Universal Announces the Result of its Subsidiary's Court Meeting Regarding the Proposed Privatization

HUIZHOU, China, April 7, 2011 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- Qiao Xing Universal Resources, Inc. (NASDAQ:XING) ("XING"), one of the leading players in the molybdenum-mining business as well as a company with meaningful size in the resources industry, today announced the result of Qiao Xing Mobile Communication Co., Ltd.'s (NYSE:QXM)("QXM") shareholder meeting, which was held on April 7, 2011(the "Court Meeting").  The meeting was scheduled to be convened at 10:00 a.m. Hong Kong time to consider the proposal by XING to acquire all of the outstanding ordinary shares of QXM not already held by XING , by way of a scheme of arrangement under Subsection 179A of the British Virgin Islands Business Companies Act, 2004 (as amended).  The meeting was adjourned for lack of quorum because an insufficient number of shareholders attended the meeting to satisfy the quorum requirements.  As a result, the meeting was adjourned permanently and XING will not be able to proceed with the Proposed Privatization via Scheme of Arrangement.

Mr. Wu Rui Lin, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of XING, commented, "in order to implement the proposal, we have been working very hard for more than 7 months. It is indeed a great pity to find out such a result. We are reporting the result to the Board and will wait for further instructions from the Board. Once a Board resolution is made, we will make it public and hold a conference call, which we hope to do as soon as possible. However, nothing can change our commitment to becoming a pure resources player."

About Qiao Xing Universal Resources,Inc.

Qiao Xing Universal Resources, Inc. is a leading player in the molybdenum-mining industry with meaningful size in the resources industry. XING focuses on mining and processing rare metal ores and several strategically important base-metal ores, including molybdenum, copper, lead and zinc. XING currently owns a 100% equity interest in Balinzuo Banner Xinyuan Mining Co., Ltd. and a 34.53% equity interest in Chifeng Aolunhua Mining Co., Ltd, as well as the right to receive 100% of the expected economic residual returns from Chifeng Haozhou Mining Co., Ltd.

XING was one of the first Chinese companies to be listed on NASDAQ (in 1999) as one of the leading players in the telecommunication-terminal product business in China. In 2007, XING made the strategic decision to diversify into the resources industry. Since then, XING has made several acquisitions in the resources industry and divested its fixed-line and budget mobile phone businesses. To reflect this change, XING changed its corporate name to Qiao Xing Universal Resources, Inc., effective January 28, 2010.

XING continues to evaluate acquisition opportunities in the resources area to strengthen its foothold in the industry. At the same time, XING is also working to divest its remaining mobile-phone business to become a pure-play resources company.
