Other Events

As set forth in the press release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, 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 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 the audit of the Company’s financial statements for the period due to delays in receiving confirmations and documents from third parties. 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 listing standard. 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.

You can identify these forward-looking statements by words or phrases such as “may,” “will,” “except,” “anticipate,” “aim,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “is/are likely to,” “future” or other similar expressions. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on the Company’s current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that the Company believes may affect Company’s financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs. There is no assurance that Company’s current expectations and projections are accurate. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to that: (i) the Company intends to release its earnings results for the year ended March 31, 2018 and file the associated Form 20-F as soon as practicable; (ii) under NYSE rules, the Company has six months from receipt of the notification to comply with the listing standard; (iii) the Company can regain compliance at any time during this six-month period by filing the Form 20-F; and (iv) the Company’s shares will continue to be listed on the NYSE, subject to compliance with other continued listing requirements are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Safe Harbor.
