Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On June 5, 2013, China Botanic Pharmaceutical Inc. (the “ Company”) submitted a notice to the NYSE MKT LLC (the “Exchange”) of its decision to withdraw its appeal of the Staff's determination to delist the Company's securities from the NYSE MKT. As a result, the Company has been informed that the Company’s common stock will be suspended from trading and the Exchange will proceed to file a Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to delist the Company’s common stock from the Exchange.

As previously announced on May 2, 2012, the Company received a notice (“Delisting Notice”) from the NYSE MKT LLC ("Exchange") indicating that based on the Company’s noncompliance with its compliance plan previously submitted by the Company on February 7, 2013 to regain compliance with Sections 134 and 1101 of the NYSE MKT Company Guide (“Company Guide”) by May 1, 2013 (the “Compliance Plan”), the Exchange has made a determination to delist the common stock of the Company from the Exchange. The Delisting Notice indicated that under Sections 1203 and 1009(d) of the Company Guide, the Company has a limited right to appeal the Exchange’s determination by requesting an oral hearing or a hearing based on a written submission before the Exchange’s Listing Qualifications Panel (“Panel”). On May 9, 2013, the Company submitted a request for a hearing and paid the applicable hearing fee, and an oral hearing date was set for June 28, 2013. However, based on the progress of its audit, the Company has decided to not appeal by withdrawing its request for hearing. As a result of the Company’s decision not to appeal, the Company has been informed that the delisting determination is final and the Exchange will proceed to file an application with the Securities and Exchange Commission to delist the Company’s common stock from the Exchange.

The Company issued a press release on June 6, 2013 relating to the foregoing matters. A copy of the press release is furnished with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1.
