WUHAN CITY, China, Oct. 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Tianli Agritech, Inc. (NASDAQ:OINK) ("Tianli" or the "Company"), a leading producer of breeder hogs, market hogs and black hogs, headquartered in Wuhan City, China, today announced that it received written notification from the NASDAQ Stock Market ("NASDAQ") on October 15, 2013 confirming that the Company has regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 per share for continued listing of its common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

As previously announced, on February 6, 2013, NASDAQ notified the Company that the bid price of its common stock had closed at less than $1.00 per share over the previous 30 consecutive business days and, as a result, the Company was not in compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2)("Rule"), the minimum bid price rule. The Company was provided 180 calendar days, or until August 5, 2013, to regain compliance with the Rule. Additionally, on August 2, 2013, NASDAQ notified the Company that it had been granted an additional 180-day extension period, or until February 3, 2014, in which to regain compliance with the Rule.

On October 15, 2013, NASDAQ notified the Company that the closing bid price of its common stock has been at $1.00 per share or greater for 10 consecutive business days, from October 1, 2013 to October 14, 2013. Accordingly, the company has regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2)("Rule"), and the matter is now closed.

If the Company remains in compliance with the minimum bid price Rule, its Board of Directors is not likely to use the authority given to it at the Company's shareholder meeting on October 11^th to cause a reverse split of the Company's common stock. Any decision regarding a reverse stock split will be made by the Board of Directors in light of the relevant factors at the time a reverse split is considered by the Board.
