Statements</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">This Current Report on Form 8-K contains
&ldquo;forward-looking statements&rdquo; within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Statements regarding future events
and developments and the Company&rsquo;s future performance, as well as management&rsquo;s expectations, beliefs, plans or estimates
are forward-looking statements within the meaning of these laws. These forward-looking statements may be indicated by words such
as &ldquo;expects,&rdquo; &ldquo;anticipates,&rdquo; &ldquo;will,&rdquo; &ldquo;plans,&rdquo; &ldquo;believes,&rdquo; &ldquo;scheduled,&rdquo;
&ldquo;estimates&rdquo; and similar words and expressions. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such
forward-looking statements are reasonable, these statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties,
which are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of the control of the Company. If any of these risks or uncertainties
materialize, or if underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual developments and results may vary significantly from those
projected. Further, these statements are not guarantees of future payments to creditors of the Debtor and/or current or future
holders of beneficial interests in the Liquidating Trust and are subject to risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict.
These risks include, among other factors: (i) the Liquidating Trust&rsquo;s ability to pursue the Company&rsquo;s outstanding litigation
in the People&rsquo;s Republic of China, fund its recovery efforts, and resolve disputed Claims and disputed Equity Interests;
(ii) limited or no Liquidating Trust Assets to distribute under the Plan and Trust Agreement; (iii) risks associated with any litigation
and other claims that might be brought against the Debtor or the Liquidating Trust in the future during the anticipated initial
three year term of the Liquidating Trust (which term may be extended, subject to certain limited exceptions, with the approval
of the Bankruptcy Court); and (iv) there is no liquidity for the beneficial interests in the Liquidating Trust issued by the Liquidating
Trust, which are non-certificated and non-transferable other than by will, intestate succession or operation of law. The forward-looking
statements made herein speak only as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K and the Company undertakes no duty to update
any forward-looking statement to conform the statement to actual results or changes in the Company&rsquo;s expectations.</P>

SECTION 1 – Registrant's
Business and Operations
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive
Agreement.
Effective Date of Chapter 11 Plan
As previously disclosed
in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed August 23, 2011, on August 19, 2011, ShengdaTech, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"
or the "Debtor"), pursuant to the provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Bankruptcy Code"),
filed a voluntary petition in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nevada (the "Bankruptcy Court")
seeking relief under the provisions of Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (Case No. 11-52649) (the "Bankruptcy
Case").
On October 2, 2012,
the Bankruptcy Court entered an order (the "Confirmation Order") confirming the Company's First Amended Chapter
11 Plan of Reorganization, As Modified, dated as of August 30, 2012 (as confirmed, the "Plan"). Copies of the Confirmation
Order and the Plan were included as Exhibits 99.1 and 2.1, respectively, to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed
on October 9, 2012 (the "Confirmation Current Report") and are incorporated by reference herein. Unless otherwise specified
in this Current Report on Form 8-K, capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan.
On October 17, 2012
(the "Effective Date"), the Plan became effective and a notice of the Effective Date of the Plan (the "Notice
of Effective Date") was filed with the Bankruptcy Court. A copy of the Notice of Effective Date is attached hereto as Exhibit
99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
The occurrence of the
Effective Date was subject to satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions precedent including no modification or stay of the Confirmation
Order or entry of other court order prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Plan, execution of the
Liquidating Trust Agreement and creation of the Liquidating Trust pursuant to the Plan (as discussed below), and all other actions
and documents necessary to implement the Plan shall have been effected or executed. Each of the foregoing conditions to the effectiveness
of the Plan were satisfied or waived, and the Effective Date occurred on October 17, 2012.
Liquidating Trust Agreement
On the Effective Date,
the Company entered into a Liquidating Trust Agreement (the "Trust Agreement") by and between the Company and Michael
Kang, not individually, but solely in his capacity as liquidating trustee (the "Liquidating Trustee") for the purpose
of creating a liquidating trust (the "Liquidating Trust"). The Bankruptcy Court previously approved the proposed form
of liquidating trust agreement. On the Effective Date, in accordance with the Trust Agreement, a Liquidating Trust Advisory Board
was appointed. The Liquidating Trust Advisory Board initially consists of the current members of the Official Committee of Unsecured
Creditors appointed in the Company's Bankruptcy Case. The Liquidating Trust Advisory Board will consult with the Liquidating
Trustee from time to time on various matters as set forth in the Trust Agreement.
In accordance with
the Trust Agreement and the Plan, the Liquidating Trust, in its discretion, will pursue the Company's outstanding litigation
in the People's Republic of China ("PRC"), hold and ultimately sell the Company's shares of Faith Bloom
Limited, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary ("Faith Bloom"), execute, process and facilitate available distributions
to holders of claims ("Claims") and equity interests ("Equity Interests") in the Company, and resolve disputed
Claims and Equity Interests.
Specifically, on the
Effective Date, the Company shall be deemed to have automatically transferred to the Liquidating Trust all of its right, title,
and interest in and to all of the Liquidating Trust Assets (defined to include all assets of the Company, including, without limitation,
(i) cash in the Company's bank account on the Effective Date, (ii) the Company's equity interests in Faith Bloom, (iii)
all claims held by the Company against Faith Bloom and Faith Bloom's subsidiaries (the "PRC Subsidiaries"), (iv)
the Company's interest in certain directors and officers insurance policies, if transferable, and the proceeds thereof, (v)
all Claims and causes of action held by the Company and (vi) any other assets of the Company that are recovered by the Liquidating
Trust and the proceeds thereof). The Liquidating Trust will distribute the proceeds that are obtained from the Liquidating Trust
Assets to the Liquidating Trust Beneficiaries (defined to include holders of Claims and Equity Interests under the Plan), in accordance
with the distribution procedures and priorities set forth in the Trust Agreement. These distribution procedures include a reserve
mechanism to allow for the resolution of Claims and Equity Interests that are disputed, in whole or in part, as of the Effective
Date.
The Liquidating Trust
is created on behalf of, and for the benefit of, the Liquidating Trust Beneficiaries, with an initial term of three years, subject
to extension with approval of the Bankruptcy Court, and is intended to qualify as a "liquidating trust" for federal
income tax purposes. Beneficial interests in the Liquidating Trust are not transferable except by will, intestate succession or
operation of law.
The above summary of
the material terms of the Trust Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
text of the Trust Agreement, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated
by reference herein.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking
Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Statements regarding future events
and developments and the Company's future performance, as well as management's expectations, beliefs, plans or estimates
are forward-looking statements within the meaning of these laws. These forward-looking statements may be indicated by words such
as "expects," "anticipates," "will," "plans," "believes," "scheduled,"
"estimates" and similar words and expressions. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such
forward-looking statements are reasonable, these statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties,
which are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of the control of the Company. If any of these risks or uncertainties
materialize, or if underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual developments and results may vary significantly from those
projected. Further, these statements are not guarantees of future payments to creditors of the Debtor and/or current or future
holders of beneficial interests in the Liquidating Trust and are subject to risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict.
These risks include, among other factors: (i) the Liquidating Trust's ability to pursue the Company's outstanding litigation
in the People's Republic of China, fund its recovery efforts, and resolve disputed Claims and disputed Equity Interests;
(ii) limited or no Liquidating Trust Assets to distribute under the Plan and Trust Agreement; (iii) risks associated with any litigation
and other claims that might be brought against the Debtor or the Liquidating Trust in the future during the anticipated initial
three year term of the Liquidating Trust (which term may be extended, subject to certain limited exceptions, with the approval
of the Bankruptcy Court); and (iv) there is no liquidity for the beneficial interests in the Liquidating Trust issued by the Liquidating
Trust, which are non-certificated and non-transferable other than by will, intestate succession or operation of law. The forward-looking
statements made herein speak only as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K and the Company undertakes no duty to update
any forward-looking statement to conform the statement to actual results or changes in the Company's expectations.
