The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Asian Bamboo postpones the announcement of the FY 2013 results to 12 May and the Q1 2014 results to 27 May Hamburg, 22 April 2014 - Asian Bamboo AG ("Asian Bamboo", "the Company", ISIN: DE000A0M6M79, ticker symbol: "5AB", ADR ticker symbol "ASIBY"), a leading integrated company in the bamboo industry, informs all shareholders that it is postponing the announcement of the FY 2013 results to 12 May and the Q1 2014 results to 27 May. Due to the complicated methodology used to assess the value of the plantations, the Company needs some more time to complete the annual results. As the results of the annual audit will also have an impact on the Q1 2014 report, the Q1 results will also have to be delayed. These delays will not have any impact on the Annual General Meeting ("AGM") which will be held on 20 June 2014, as previously announced.
