DALLAS, TX--(Marketwire - May 20, 2009) - China Crescent Enterprises, Inc. (OTCBB: [ CCTR ]) has released an on-demand Webcast reviewing the Regulation SHO Threshold List and management's perspective on the role of short selling as it pertains to the public micro-cap market. The Webcast also reviews the potential impact of the Regulation SHO threshold security listing on the China Crescent common share price. The price per share (PPS) increased more than 39% with a high volume of trading on Friday, May 15, following the Company's first announcement of listing on the Regulation SHO threshold list on Thursday, May 14, 2009. The Company remains listed on the "threshold security" list as of the close of trading yesterday. Management continues to anticipate a possible buy-in that could result in an increased share price.

Regulation SHO Listing Indicates Stock May Have Been Sold Short

Regulation SHO is intended to provide a regulatory framework governing short selling of securities. Regulation SHO is designed, in part, to fulfill several objectives, to include establishing uniform locate and delivery requirements in order to address problems associated with failures to deliver and potentially abusive "naked" short selling (i.e., selling short without having borrowed the securities to make delivery).

A Buy-In and Increased PPS May Result to Cover Possible Short Sales

China Crescent has been added to the threshold security list because a number of stock sales have been transacted but the actual shares have not been delivered. The number of failures to deliver has exceeded the Regulation SHO guidance. China Crescent will remain on the threshold security until the specified level of fails has not exceeded the Regulation SHO standard for five consecutive settlement days. Any failure to deliver that has resulted from a "naked" short sale may result in a corresponding stock purchase to cover the short position. Stock purchasing to cover short sales can add to the ordinary demand for stock purchases and correspondingly contribute to an increased price per share.
