BEIJING, China, July 28, 2008 / Xinhua-PRNewswire/--General Steel Holdings, Inc. (“General Steel”), (the “Company”), (NYSE Arca: GSI), one of China's leading non-state owned steel product producers, announced today that it has received authorization to list its common stock on the NYSE and anticipates that its shares of common stock will begin trading on the NYSE on August 8, 2008, under its existing symbol “GSI”.

The Company will notify the NYSE Arca (Arca) it intends to voluntarily delist its common shares from the Arca. Until the time the Company begins trading its shares of common stock on the NYSE, the Company’s shares will remain trading on the Arca under the existing symbol “GSI”.

“With the Company’s growing market capitalization and average trading volume, our move to the NYSE should further enhance our liquidity and bolster shareholder value,” commented John Chen, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer. “We are very happy to reach this milestone in the Company’s growth and are excited to move into this new chapter in the Company’s history.”
