ITEM 5.07 SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
Sinocoking Coal & Coke Chemical Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) commenced its previously scheduled special meeting of shareholders at 10:00 a.m. (China local time) on September 19, 2014, at the Company’s principal executive offices located at Kuanggong Road and Tiyu Road 10th Floor, Chengshi Xin Yong She, Xinhua District, Pingdingshan, Henan Province, People’s Republic of China.
