Wowjoint Holdings Limited Corrects Error in Ownership Disclosure of Substantial Shareholder

Beijing, China, April 15, 2013 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- Wowjoint Holdings Limited (OTCQB: BWOWF) ("Wowjoint" or the "Company"), China's innovative infrastructure solutions provider of customized heavy duty lifting and carrying machinery announced today it is issuing a correction to the Company’s previous SEC filings and press releases in reference to the ownership breakdown of one of its substantial shareholders.

Affiliates of Realink Group Limited (“Realink”) may be deemed to beneficially own approximately 54.8% of Wowjoint's voting power. Realink is controlled by some of the Company’s executive officers. Mr. Yabin Liu, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Wowjoint, is a 44.4% holder of Realink; a British Virgin Island company. Mr. Fude Zhang, Wowjoint’s Chief Technical Officer and director, is a 39.5% holder of Realink, and Mr. Liguo Liu, Wowjoint's Chief Marketing Officer, is a 5.4% holder of Realink.

The remaining 10.7% shares of Realink are held by Mr. Huijing Liu and have been since November 2009 and he does not hold any executive positions in Wowjoint at this time. The Company had not corrected the ownership breakdown of Realink in its SEC filings and press release in April 2010 and had incorrectly listed a previous executive officer who is deceased, versus the accurate owner, Mr. Huijing Liu, who is the nephew of the Company’s CEO.

This information does not affect the Wowjoint's business operations or other shareholders' interests.
