(NASDAQ: CPGI) ("Shengda" or the "Company"), a leading Chinese paper packaging company, announced today that it has filed a Certificate of Change pursuant to Section 78.209 of the Nevada Revised Statutes with the Nevada Secretary of State to effect a one (1) -for- five (5) reverse stock split ("Reverse Split") of the authorized and issued and outstanding common stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Common Stock"). The Reverse Split will be effective at 4:30pm Eastern Standard Time on May 18, 2015, and the Company's Common Stock will begin trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market ("Nasdaq") on a split-adjusted basis at the market opening on May 19, 2015.
