China Lending Announces Nasdaq Hearings Date

BEIJING, URUMQI, China and HANGZHOU, China, July 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- China Lending Corporation ("China Lending" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: CLDC), a non-bank financial corporation servicing micro, small and medium sized enterprises in China, today announced that Nasdaq has scheduled the Company's hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the "Panel") for August 22, 2019. At the hearing, the Company will present its plan to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules and request the continued listing of the Company's securities on the Nasdaq Capital Market pending the Company's compliance therewith.

As previously announced, on July 11, 2019, the Company received a delisting determination letter from Nasdaq, indicating that the Company's securities would be subject to delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market based on its non-compliance with the continued listing requirements, unless the Company timely requests a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the "Panel"). The Company filed the hearing request on July 15, 2019, which has stayed the delisting action of the Company's securities by Nasdaq pending the Panel's final decision. There can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company's request for continued listing.

The Company is doing everything within its control to regain compliance with the Nasdaq listing rules. If the Panel upholds the delisting determination following the hearing, the Company's securities may be eligible for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Boards or in the "pink sheets."
