Item 8.01 Other Events.

On March 21, 2014, the Board of Directors of American Oriental Bioengineering, Inc. (the “Company”), set March 25, 2014 at 4:01 p.m. ET as the effective date and time of the 1-for-501 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.002 per share. The Company’s common stock is currently quoted in the over-the-counter markets. As required, FINRA must review the Reverse Stock Split transaction and set the date to effect the Reverse Stock Split in the market. As of today, FINRA is still in the process of completing its review. As a result, although the Reverse Stock Split will be effective under Nevada law, the effect of the Reverse Stock Split will not be reflected in the over-the-counter market until a date in the future. At such time that the Company is made aware that FINRA has completed its review and set a date to effect the Reverse Stock Split in the over-the-counter market, the Company will provide an update to its stockholders.
