ShengdaTech, Inc. Announces Formation of Special Committee to Investigate Issues Relating to Company and its Subsidiaries' Financial Records

ShengdaTech, Inc. SDTH announced that it had appointed a special committee of the Board of Directors to investigate potentially serious discrepancies and unexplained issues relating to the Company and its subsidiaries' financial records identified by the Company's auditors in the course of their audit of the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.

The special committee is composed of the independent directors comprising the Company's audit committee. As a result, the audit committee retained O'Melveny & Myers LLP as independent outside counsel, which has initiated an internal investigation. The outside counsel to the committee has notified the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission of the commencement of the internal investigation. Given that the investigation only recently commenced, the Company cannot predict at this time whether that investigation will require any adjustments to its financial statements, and if so whether such adjustments will be material.
