Dalian, Liaoning Province, China--(Newsfile Corp. - April 27, 2015) - Andatee China Marine Fuel Services Corporation (NASDAQ: AMCF), a producer, distributor, and retailer of quality marine fuel for small cargo and fishing vessels in China (the "Company"), today announced that on April 21, 2015 it received a staff determination from the NASDAQ Stock Market ("NASDAQ") informing the Company that since it had not paid certain fees required by Listing Rule 5250(f), the Company will be delisted unless it appeals the staff determination (the "Staff Determination") in accordance with NASDAQ Listing Rules. Specifically, to appeal the Staff Determination to delist the Company's securities, the Company must submit a hearing request, along with a $10,000 hearing fee, to the NASDAQ Hearings Department by no later than the close of business on April 28, 2015. As of the date hereof, the Company has remitted all outstanding fees.

The Company intends to appeal the Staff Determination in accordance with the NASDAQ Listing Rules by requesting an oral hearing before a Hearings Panel (the "Panel"). A hearing request will stay the suspension of the Company's securities. The time and place of such hearing will be determined by the Panel. There can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company's request for continued listing. If the Panel does not grant the relief sought by the Company, its securities will be delisted from NASDAQ in which event the Company would seek to cause them be quoted in over the counter markets, which may result in a substantially less liquid market for the securities.
