China Housing & Land Development, Inc. Announces Stockholder Approval of Proposed Reverse Stock Split

XI'AN, China, December 31, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- China Housing & Land Development, Inc. (NASDAQ: CHLN) (the "Company") announced today that at a special meeting of stockholders held on December 30, 2015, Beijing time (December 29, 2015 U.S. Eastern Time), stockholders holding a majority of the Company's outstanding common stock ("Common Stock") approved a proposed 1-for-50,000 reverse stock split as further described in the Company's definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 25, 2015 (the "Transaction").

If and when the Transaction is consummated, every 50,000 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the effective date of the Transaction will be converted into one whole share of Common Stock. In lieu of issuing any fractional shares, the Company will make a cash payment to each stockholder who would otherwise receive fractional shares equal to US$3.00 multiplied by the number of pre-Transaction Common Stock held by such stockholder that would be converted into fractional shares. The consummation of the Transaction is expected to reduce the number of record holders of Common Stock to less than 300 and 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.

The Company's board of directors plans to establish a record date for the Transaction in the first quarter of 2016 with an effective date on or shortly after the record date.
