XI'AN, China, April 22, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- SkyPeople Fruit Juice, Inc. (NASDAQ: SPU) ("SkyPeople" or "the Company"), a producer of fruit juice concentrates, fruit juice beverages and other fruit-related products, today announced that on April 20, 2016, the Company received a letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Staff (the "Nasdaq Staff"), stating that it has utilized its discretionary authority under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5101 to determine that the Company has until May 20, 2016 to submit a plan of compliance for continued listing on Nasdaq. The Company no longer complies with Nasdaq's listing rules as stipulated by Nasdaq Rule 5250(c)(1) due to its inability file its Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 on Form 10-K in a timely manner. If the plan is accepted, the Company can be granted an exemption of up to 180 calendar days, or until October 11, 2016, to regain compliance. The Company may regain compliance at any time during this 180-day period upon filing its 2015 10-K, as well as all subsequent required periodic reports that are due within that period. If Nasdaq does not accept the Company's compliance plan, the Company will have the opportunity to appeal that decision to a Hearing Panel under Listing Rule 5815(a). SkyPeople intends to provide a plan of compliance to the Nasdaq Staff on or before May 20, 2016.
