Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On April 14, 2015, China Auto Logistics Inc. (the “Company”) received approval from The NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Department (“NASDAQ”) to transfer the listing of the Company’s common stock from The NASDAQ Global Market to The NASDAQ Capital Market. This transfer will be effective at the opening of business on April 16, 2015. The NASDAQ Capital Market is a continuous trading market that operates in substantially the same manner as The NASDAQ Global Market and listed companies must meet certain financial requirements and comply with NASDAQ’s corporate governance requirements. The Company’s common stock will continue to trade under the symbol “CALI.”

As previously reported on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 22, 2014, the Company received notification from NASDAQ on October 16, 2014 that for the previous 30 consecutive business days, the market value of publicly held shares (“MVPHS”) of the Company’s common stock had closed below the minimum $5 million requirement for continued inclusion on The NASDAQ Global Market pursuant to NASDAQ Listing Rule 5450(b)(1)(C). In accordance with NASDAQ listing rules, the Company was afforded 180 calendar days, or until April 14, 2015, to regain compliance with the MVPHS Requirement. In anticipation of not meeting the MVPHS Requirement by April 14, 2015, the Company determined to transfer the listing of the Company’s common stock to The NASDAQ Capital Market. As stated above, this transfer will be effective at the opening of business on April 16, 2015.
