Fuwei Films (Holdings) Co., Ltd., a manufacturer and distributor of high-quality BOPET plastic film located in China, today announced that it has entered into a final settlement agreement with the plaintiffs in a putative securities class action that has been pending in federal district court in New York (the "Action").

As previously disclosed, the parties reached a settlement in principle of the Action on June 24, 2010. In the Action, plaintiffs assert claims against Fuwei Films, certain of its present and former officers, directors, and shareholders, and the underwriters for Fuwei Films' December 19, 2006 initial public offering, alleging that the Registration Statement and Prospectus contained materially false and misleading information in violation of federal securities laws.

Pursuant to the settlement agreement and subject to the Court's approval, Plaintiffs have agreed to accept US$2.15 million in full and final settlement of all claims they have or may have against the Company, certain of its present and former officers, directors, and shareholders, and the underwriters. Fuwei Films has agreed to contribute US$1 million towards the settlement. The signed settlement agreement has been submitted to the Court for approval.

The Company's management continues to believe that plaintiffs' allegations are without merit. However, in recognition of the attendant risks and costs of continued litigation, and the benefits of resolving the same, the Board of Directors has unanimously consented to settle this case. As of June 30, 2010, the Company accrued US$1 million liability in connection with this litigation excluding defense costs.
