On February 21, 2017, Biostar Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the Company)
received a notification letter from Nasdaq Listing Qualifications

resignation as an independent director of the Company, the
Company was not in compliance with Nasdaqs continued listing
requirements set forth in Listing Rule 5605 pertaining to the
independent director membership of the Companys Board and its
Audit and Compensation Committees.
to Listing Rules 5605(b)(1)(A), 5605(c)(4) and 5605(d)(4), the
Company is extended a cure period to regain compliance with the
foregoing deficiency as follows:
Until the earlier of the Companys next annual
shareholders meeting or February 5, 2018, or
If the next annual shareholders meeting is held before
August 4, 2017, then the Company must evidence compliance
no later than August 4, 2017 (together, the Compliance
