Amira Nature Foods, Ltd (ANFI) Announces Late Filing of Form 20-F

On August 15, 2018, Amira Nature Foods Ltd. (the “Company”), a British Virgin Islands business company, announced that as of August 16, 2018, it will not be in compliance of the continued listing requirements under the timely filing criteria established in Section 802.01E of the NYSE Listed Company Manual of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) because its report on Form 20-F for the year ended March 31, 2018 will not be timely filed.

The delay is the result of the Company’s independent auditors, ASA & Associates LLP (“ASA”) requiring additional time to complete its audit procedures and confirmations. The Company intends to file its Form 20-F as soon as practicable after ASA completes its review. The Company remains confident in the veracity of its fully audited historical results and is committed to working with ASA, to complete the filing of its Annual Report on Form 20-F as soon as practicable.

In accordance with NYSE rules, the Company has contacted the NYSE to discuss the status of the late filing and issued the NYSE’s required press release. Under NYSE rules, the Company has six months to comply with the NYSE listing standards. It can regain compliance at any time during this six-month period by filing the Form 20-F. In the interim, the Company’s shares will continue to be listed on the NYSE, subject to compliance with other continued listing requirements.

The NYSE notification has no impact on the Company's business operations.
