Exhibit 99.1

Pacific Bepure Industry Inc. to Delist from
The OTC Bulletin Board and
Deregister Its Common Stock

 

March 30, 2012

 

JINJIANG CITY, CHINA--(Marketwire – March 30, 2012) - Pacific Bepure Industry Inc. (OTC.BB:PBEP - News), one of China’s leading casual and sports footwear companies whose products are sold under the Baopiao (or “Bepure”) label -- which is synonymous throughout China for comfort and value -- announced today that it intends to remove its common stock from quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board as a consequence of the filing of a Form 15 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 30, 2012. The Company also announced that because its common stock is currently held by less than 300 holders of record and was held by less than 300 holders of record as of the first day of the Company’s 2012 fiscal year, it expects to terminate the registration of its common stock under Section 12(g) and Rule 12g-4 thereunder and to suspend its reporting obligations under Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and Rule 12h-3 thereunder by filing of the Form 15 with the SEC.

 

The Company is taking this action in order to reduce the legal, accounting and administrative costs and burdens associated with being a reporting company under the Exchange Act and to allow the Company to develop a restructuring plan without the burdens of its current public reporting status. Mr. Haiting Li, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, stated, “The Company’s decision to deregister and “go-dark” was made after careful consideration of the advantages and disadvantages of being a public company, particularly in light of our size and market capitalization, and the high costs and demands on management’s time of our ongoing compliance with SEC and Sarbanes-Oxley reporting requirements as well as our recent director resignations. We believe delisting and deregistration will reduce future operating expenses, exclusive of salaries, in the range of $300,000 to $400,000 annually. It will also permit management to focus more of its energies on efforts to grow the Company.”

 

The Company anticipates that the OTC.OB will suspend trading in the Company’s common stock on the date the Company’s Form 15 is filed with the SEC. Accordingly, the last day the Company expects its common stock will trade on OTC is March 30, 2012. Upon filing the Form 15 with the SEC, the obligations of the Company to file certain periodic reports, including Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K, will be immediately suspended. The Company anticipates that its common stock will commence quotation on the Pink Sheets after its delisting from the OTC.OB to the extent market makers agree to make a market in its stock. No guarantee, however, can be made that a trading market in the Company’s common stock through the Pink Sheets will commence or be maintained.

  

The Company currently plans to issue its unaudited results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2011 by the end of April 2012. The Company does not currently plan to continue to issue audited financial statements for the foreseeable future.

 

The Company intends to continue to provide shareholders with certain information through its website: http://www.baopiao.com/.
