Aoxin Tianli Group, Inc. announced changes to its Board of Directors. In support of a board restructuring plan which aims to reduce the size of its Board of Directors from eight to five and to realign the composition of its Board in response to the company's new strategic development plan initiated in July, four of the company's directors, Dr. Huanchun Chen, Mr. Wei Gong, Mr. Jianguo Hu, and Mr. Benyan Li, advised the company of their intention to resign from the Board. On September 19, 2014, the company accepted the resignation of each of the four directors, effective immediately.

None of the four directors resigned due to any disagreement with the company on any matter relating to its operations, policies or practices. September 19, 2014, the entire Board, including the Nominating Committee, by unanimous written consent, elected Mr. Anthony S. Chan as an independent member of the Board. It is anticipated that Mr. Chan will serve on each of the Nominating, Audit and Compensation Committees and as chair of the Compensation Committee.

Mr. Chan has been appointed as a Class I Director. Simultaneously with his election to the Board, the Board nominated Mr. Chan for re-election as a Class I Director at the upcoming 2014 annual shareholder meeting.
