CEU China Education Alli

HARBIN, China, Dec. 23, 2011 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- China Education Alliance, Inc. (NYSE: CEU) announced that on December 21, 2011, NYSE Regulation, Inc. (NYSE Regulation) delivered a notice to the company confirming that the exchange will suspend trading of the company's common stock on the NYSE prior to the opening of business on Thursday, December 29, 2011 and that the exchange intends to delist the company's common stock. The Company expects to commence trading on the over-the-counter (OTC) market that same day under a symbol yet to be determined.

Mr. Yu Xiqun, CEO of China Education Alliance commented: "We are very disappointed with the NYSE's decision to suspend trading and delist our shares. Since the onset of the unfounded allegations a year ago, we have at all times kept our doors open to all shareholders who have wanted to research our business in China and have made ourselves available to help investors correctly understand our business. We have held two Annual General Meetings to discuss the future development goals and strategic plans of the Company. We have refused to be intimidated by rumors, none of which have proved true in more than one year. Our business performance has been recovering and our future prospects remains strong.

As of September 30, 2011 we achieved USD26.3 million in revenue and USD18.4 million of profit. We strongly believe our stock price and market value do not correctly reflect the performance and future prospects of our Company.

This is a time of rapid evolution in the Chinese education sector with many opportunities. We will continue to focus on our business operations and further expansion plans."
