TECNOGLASS Provides Update on 2015 Form 10-K FILING

BARRANQUILLA, Colombia – April 19, 2016 - Tecnoglass, Inc. (NASDAQ: TGLS) ("Tecnoglass" or the "Company"), a leading manufacturer of architectural glass, windows, and associated aluminum products for the global commercial and residential construction industries, today reported that it has been forced to delay the filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 (the “2015 10-K”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission beyond the April 14, 2016 extended filing due date.

As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated April 6, 2016, in preparing the Company’s 2015 10-K, the Company and its Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, after discussion with PricewaterhouseCoopers Ltda., the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm (“PWC”), identified certain non-cash items to be amended in the Company’s previously-filed SEC reports. These non-cash items are not expected to have any material impact on the Company’s Cash Flow from Operating Activities. These items include:

On April 18, 2016, the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC ("NASDAQ") advising the Company that the Company does not comply with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) for continued listing because NASDAQ has not received the Company's 2015 10-K. NASDAQ has informed the Company that it has until June 17, 2016 to submit a plan to regain compliance with respect to this delinquent report in accordance with a delinquency letter the Company received from NASDAQ. If NASDAQ approves the Company's plan, it has the discretion to grant the Company an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the due date of the Form 10-K (or until October 12, 2016) to regain compliance.

The necessary work to adjust the accounting for the first three items listed above has been completed. However, with respect to the “earn-out shares”, the Company continues to work closely with PWC and its predecessor auditor Marcum LLP in order to promptly address the accounting methodology for these instruments in order to file its 2015 10-K. The Company intends to file its 2015 10-K as soon as possible following completion of its review. If the Company is unable to file the Form 10-K by June 17, 2016, it intends to file a plan to regain compliance with NASDAQ. This notification has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company's ordinary shares on NASDAQ. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the listing requirements discussed above or otherwise satisfy the other NASDAQ listing criteria.
