China Industrial Waste Management Announces Voluntary Filing of Form 15 to Suspend SEC Reporting Obligations

DALIAN, China, Oct. 20, 2011 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- China Industrial Waste Management, Inc. (OTCBB: CIWT) ("China Industrial Waste Management" or the "Company"), a leading environmental services and solutions provider in China, today announced that it has determined to file a certification on Form 15 with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") in order to suspend its reporting obligations under Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").

The Board of Directors has approved this action as a cost reduction measure. Suspending and, ultimately, terminating the Company's SEC reporting obligations will allow it to reduce the substantial legal, accounting and other expenses associated with reporting compliance and make those savings available for continued operation of the business.

"The decision to become a non-reporting public company has not been entered into lightly. The Board of Directors has sought advice from several outside resources before making the decision. Historically, the Company's stock has been negligibly traded. We plan to streamline our operations and focus more on expanding our waste processing business and increasing market share in China," said Jinqing Dong, Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

The Company is eligible to suspend its reporting obligations and deregister its common stock because it has fewer than 300 record holders of its common stock as of the date hereof and anticipate keeping the similar status in addition to its satisfaction of other eligibility criteria under Rule 12h-3 of the Exchange Act on the date of filing the Form 15. Immediately upon the filing of the Form 15, certain reporting obligations of the Company, such as its obligation to file Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and Current Reports on Form 8-K, will be suspended. Shares are anticipated being available for trading on the OTC Pink sheets, although there can no assurances that any trading market for the Company's securities will exist, after the Company has filed the Form 15.
