Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On February 6, 2013, Longwei Petroleum Investment Holding Limited (the “Company”) received notice from the NYSE MKT that the Company is not in compliance with Section 801(h) of the NYSE MKT Company Guide (the “Company Guide”) in that at least 50% of the directors on the Company’s Board of Directors are not independent and Section 803(B)(2)(c) of the Company Guide in that the Company has only one out of the requisite two members on its audit committee. The Company’s non-compliance with these Sections is a result of the resignations of its former independent directors, Douglas Cole and Xue Xiaoping, as previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 1, 2013.

Pursuant to Section 802(b) of the Company Guide, the Company has until the earlier of its next annual shareholders’ meeting or one year from the event that caused the failure to comply to regain compliance with NYSE MKT’s board independence requirements (provided, however, that if the annual shareholders’ meeting occurs no later than 180 days following the event that caused the failure to comply, the Company shall have 180 days from the date of such event to regain compliance).

Pursuant to Section 803(B)(6)(b), the Company will have until the earlier of its next annual shareholders’ meeting or one year from the occurrence of the event that caused the failure to comply to regain compliance with NYSE MKT’s audit committee composition requirement, provided, however, that if the Company’s annual shareholders’ meeting occurs no later than 75 days following the event that caused the failure to comply, the Company shall instead have 75 days from the date of such event to regain compliance.

NYSE MKT has notified the Company that it will be included in the list of issuers that are not in compliance with the NYSE MKT’s continued listing standards within five days from the date of such notice.
