ShengdaTech, Inc. Announces Formation of Special Committee

The special committee is composed of the independent directors comprising the Company's audit committee.  As a result, the audit committee retained O'Melveny & Myers LLP as independent outside counsel, which has initiated an internal investigation.  The outside counsel to the committee has notified the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission of the commencement of the internal investigation.  Given that the investigation only recently commenced, the Company cannot predict at this time whether that investigation will require any adjustments to its financial statements, and if so whether such adjustments will be material.

Due to the pendency of the internal investigation, the Company will not be able to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K in a timely manner. The Company cannot at this time estimate when the internal investigation of the relevant issues will conclude. The Company intends to file the Form 10-K as soon as reasonably practicable.
