Item 7.01.  Regulation FD Disclosure

On October 13, 2014, China Auto Logistics Inc. (the “Company”) received notice from the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) that DTC was suspending the notice of global lock contained in its letter to the Company dated July 16, 2014 (the “Global Lock Notice”). DTC reserved its right to proceed with the institution of a Global Lock (as defined below) in the future, but noted that no Global Lock would be instituted without first providing to the Company notice and an opportunity to object.

The Company had previously disclosed the receipt of the Global Lock Notice, which set forth DTC’s intention to suspend book entry services provided to DTC participants with respect to the Company’s common shares (a “Global Lock”) in a Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on July 23, 2014. The Company had also previously disclosed an extension of the deadline to respond to the Global Lock Notice in a Form 8-K filed with the Commission on August 11, 2014, and a further extension with respect to DTC’s determination whether to impose a Global Lock in a Form 8-K filed with the Commission on September 18, 2014.

A copy of the press release that discusses this matter is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to, and is incorporated by reference in, this report. The information in this Current Report is being furnished and shall not be deemed "filed" for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section. The information in this Current Report shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in any such filing.
