China Century Dragon Media, Inc. Announces Receipt of NYSE Amex Panel Decision

BEIJING, June 17, 2011 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- China Century Dragon Media, Inc. (NYSE Amex: CDM) (the "Company") today announced that, following a hearing before a Listing Qualifications Panel (the "Panel") of the Committee on Securities of the NYSE Amex LLC (the "Exchange") on June 10, 2011, the Panel has denied the Company's request for continued listing and, consequently, the Exchange will suspend the Company's listing effective with the open of business on Friday, June 17, 2011. The Company intends to appeal the Panel's determination to the Exchange's full Committee on Securities; however, the Company's stock will remain suspended on the Exchange pending the appeal. In the event the Company's appeal is not successful, the Company's securities would be delisted from the Exchange. There can be no assurance that the Company's appeal will be successful.

Upon suspension from the Exchange, the Company's common stock will be eligible to trade in the "grey market" where securities that are not listed, traded or quoted on any U.S. stock exchange, the OTC Bulletin Board or OTC Link are found. Grey market trades are reported by broker-dealers to their Self Regulatory Organization ("SRO") and the SRO distributes the trade data to market data vendors and financial websites, such as Yahoo!® Finance, so investors can track price and volume. The Company's stock is not immediately eligible for trading on the over-the-counter (OTC) market due to the fact that trading in the Company's stock was previously halted on the Exchange.

The Company remains committed to executing on the compliance plan it presented to the Exchange. The Special Investigation Committee, with the support and cooperation of the Company and the assistance of its independent legal counsel and forensic accounting advisors, is focused on completing the investigation and subsequent audit process so that any concerns about the Company raised in connection with the resignation of the Company's former audit firm, MaloneBailey LLP, can be refuted or otherwise properly addressed and the Company can provide accurate and complete financial information to its shareholders and the investing public as soon as possible.
