PART III
NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
 
TransAct Technologies Incorporated (Nasdaq:TACT) (the “Company”), a global leader in market-specific solutions, including printers, terminals, software and other products for transaction-based and other industries, today announced that it has filed a Notification of Late Filing, or Form 12b-25, with the Securities and Exchange Commission with regard to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 (the “Annual Report”).
 
Additional time is needed because the Company experienced unexpected delays in its normal closing process for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 as a result of the Company’s negotiation of a potential settlement to the previously disclosed litigation with Avery Dennison Corporation, which would be recorded in the Company’s results of operations for the quarter ended December 31, 2014.  The Company believes that it has adequate liquidity to fund any settlement that may be reached.  As a result of the settlement negotiations, the potential impact on the Company’s financial statements and the associated demands on the Company’s senior management, the Company is unable to file the Annual Report in a timely manner without unreasonable effort or expense.  The Company intends to file the report within the extension period provided under Rule 12b-25.

(2)           Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed?  If the answer is no, identify report(s).
ý           Yes
¨           No

 
 
 
(3)           Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?
ý           Yes
¨           No
 
If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.
 
Due to the contingent nature of the Registrant’s ongoing settlement negotiations discussed in Part III above, as well as the uncertain effect that such settlement, if any, would have on the Registrant’s results of operations, the Registrant cannot provide a reasonable estimate and comparison of operating results at this time.

Safe Harbor Statement
 
This Form 12b-25 contains certain forward-looking statements, including with respect to the impact of the potential settlement of litigation with Avery Dennison Corporation on the Company’s financial statements, the availability of sufficient liquidity to fund any settlement that may be reached and the Company’s ability to file the Form 10-K by the extension of the deadline. These forward-looking statements are preceded by terms such as “may” , "believe" or “intends.” These forward-looking statements are based on information currently available to the Company. Such forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied. Consequently, the Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance on any such statements. Such risks and uncertainties include factors relating to the outcome of the settlement negotiations and the timing and nature of any additional work required to modify the Company’s financial statements to reflect such outcome. We cannot provide any assurance that we will reach an agreement with Avery Dennison Corp., nor can we predict with certainty what impact any such agreement would have on the Company’s financial statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or correct any forward-looking statement made herein due to the occurrence of events after the filing of this Form 12b-25, except as required under applicable federal securities law.
