CHINA ENTERPRISES LIMITED

PRESS RELEASE

HONG KONG, CHINA, April 15, 2020. China Enterprises Limited (the “Company”) announces that the Company will be unable to file its 2019 Annual Report on Form 20-F (the “20-F”) by April 30, 2020 due to circumstances related to COVID-19. As the Company’s major non-marketable investment, its employees and facilities are located in China which has been affected by the outbreak of COVID-19 since December 2019. From January to March 2020, the Chinese government imposed nationwide travel restrictions and quarantine control, and they largely suspended their operations during this period. As a result, the Company’s finance department will be unable to complete the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the 20-F without undue hardship and expense to the Company until after April 30, 2020.

The Company is relying on the SEC order under Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), dated March 25, 2020 (Release No. 34-88465) to extend the due date for the filing of the 20-F until June 15, 2020 (45 days after the original due date). The Company will work diligently to comply with such requirement and, at this time, management believes that it will need the entire available extension period.

The consequences of the COVID-19 outbreak to economic conditions in China and globally, and the financial position and operating results of the Company in particular, have been material in the first quarter of 2020, are changing rapidly, and cannot be predicted. The Company continues to monitor the situation closely.
