Qiao Xing Universal Announces Extension of Time for Qiao Xing Mobile to Respond to Its Proposal to Acquire All Outstanding Shares of Qiao Xing Mobile

HUIZHOU, China, Sept. 17 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- Qiao Xing Universal Resources, Inc. (Nasdaq: XING, the "Company" or "XING"), an emerging Chinese resources company headquartered in Huizhou, Guangdong Province, today announced that it has determined to extend the time for the Special Committee (defined below) to respond to its offer to acquire all outstanding shares of Qiao Xing Mobile Communication Co., Ltd (NYSE: "QXM," or "QXMC") that it does not currently own, by way of a Scheme of Arrangement (the "Proposed Offer") under British Virgin Islands law to Wednesday, September 22, 2010. The Proposed Offer, if completed, will result in QXMC becoming a privately held company. The Company currently owns approximately 61.1% of the outstanding shares of QXMC.

The Company has proposed to issue 1.9 shares of its common stock plus US$0.80 in cash per share to shareholders of QXMC other than the Company (the "Minority Shareholders"). The Company believes that the Proposed Offer is fair and reasonable to the Minority Shareholders and in the best interests of the shareholders of both QXMC and the Company. The Company described the Proposed Offer in a letter dated September 8, 2010, addressed to a special committee of the board of directors of QXMC comprised of directors who are independent under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange and are not affiliated with the Company (the "Special Committee").

The Company had asked the Special Committee to advise it whether they believe they will be prepared to recommend to the Minority Shareholders that they accept the Proposed Offer by Friday, September 17, 2010. The Special Committee has advised the Company that it is working expeditiously with its advisers to evaluate the Proposed Offer, but needs additional time before responding. The Company is pleased to hear that the Special Committee is continuing to evaluate the Proposed Offer and has determined to extend the deadline for the Special Committee to respond to the Proposed Offer until Wednesday, September 22, 2010.  The Company believes that the Proposed Offer can be completed in a more expeditious and cost-effective manner with the Special Committee's cooperation.  However, if the Special Committee fails to respond to the Proposed Offer by Wednesday, September 22, 2010 or is not prepared to recommend to the Minority Shareholders that they accept the Proposed Offer by that time, the Company intends to proceed to make the Proposed Offer directly to the Minority Shareholders.  

Mr. Ruilin Wu, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We continue to firmly believe that this transaction is in the best interest of both companies' shareholders.  We have confidence in the long-term prospects of the natural resources industry and are consolidating our resources to execute on our resources-focused strategy. We have achieved initial success in the resources industry with our Molybdenum mining business, which started commercial production in the second half of 2009. Our goal is to become a pure resource company with meaningful scale and we continue to evaluate opportunities to expand our mining resources in areas such as lead, zinc, copper and molybdenum."
