Item 8.01. Other Events.

On December 24, 2015, China Housing & Land Development, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing the postponement of the record date for its proposed 50,000-to-1 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) to a date that will be established in the first quarter of 2016. The Company previously anticipated that the record date would be at least 10 days prior to the date of the special meeting of its stockholders, which is currently scheduled for Wednesday, December 30, 2015 at 9:00am, Beijing time (Tuesday, December 29, 2015 at 8:00pm U.S. Eastern Time). The Company is postponing the record date to a date that is closer in time to the projected effective date of the Reverse Stock Split, which the Company anticipates will be implemented during the first quarter of 2016.

As described in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 23, 2015, the Company’s stockholders are being asked to approve the Reverse Stock Split in order to reduce the number of holders of record to less than 300. The Reverse Stock Split, if approved by stockholders, would allow the Company to “go private” by terminating its registration under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and removing its common stock from quotation on the NASDAQ.

As a result of the change in exchange rate of the Renminbi to U.S. Dollars, restrictions imposed by the Chinese banking system, and the reallocation of capital expenditures associated with the ongoing realignment of the Company’s labor force, the Company’s management determined that it was appropriate to delay the timing of the record date of the Reverse Stock Split to the first quarter of 2016.

A copy of the Company’s press release announcing the postponement of the record date for the Reverse Stock Split is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein.
