Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On May 24, 2016, China Recycling Energy Corporation (the "Company") filed a Certificate of Change with the Secretary of State of Nevada with an effective date of May 25, 2016 (the “Effective Date”), at which time a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 (the “Common Stock”), accompanied by a corresponding decrease in the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”), shall be effected.

Pursuant to Section 78.207 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, and pursuant to the Articles of Incorporation of the Company, on May 13, 2016 by unanimous written consent, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the Reverse Stock Split. Pursuant to Section 78.209 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, our Board of Directors may take action to effect the Reverse Stock Split by filing a Certificate of Change with the Secretary of State of Nevada. Nevada law does not require the Company to obtain any vote or consent of our shareholders to consummate the Reverse Stock Split.

The Reverse Stock Split became effective for trading purposes at the market opening on May 26, 2016, at which time the Company’s Common Stock began trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market on a split-adjusted basis under the symbol “CREG.” The new CUSIP number for the Company’s Common Stock post-Reverse Stock Split is 168913200.

The Company has rounded up to the next full share of the Company’s Common Stock any fractional shares resulting from the Reverse Stock Split.
