On July 23, 2014, China Auto Logistics Inc. (the “Company”) announced that, on July 17, 2014, the Company received a letter from the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), notifying the Company that DTC intends to suspend all book-entry services provided to its participants with respect to the common shares of the Company (the “Global Lock”). The Company has until August 13, 2014 to provide a written response to DTC setting forth its reasons why the Global Lock should not be instituted. DTC would then have up to twenty business days to reply to the Company’s response with either a determination or a request for further information. The Company intends to object to the imposition of the Global Lock pursuant to the foregoing procedure, and is also currently considering all other options available to it. However, there can be no assurance that any of the Company’s efforts will be successful.
