PART III - NARRATIVE

 

State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, N-SAR or the transition report or portion thereof could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

 

On April 30, 2020, SPI Energy Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) filed a current report on Form 6-K pursuant to an order issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission dated on March 25, 2020 (Release No. 34-88465) (the “SEC Order”), providing conditional relief to public companies that are unable to timely comply with their filing obligations as a result of the outbreak of COVID-19. The outbreak of COVID-19 has posed a significant impact on the Company’s ability to file on a timely basis its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “Form 20-F”). Therefore, the Company relied on the SEC Order to extend the due date for the filing of the Form 20-F until June 14, 2020 (45 days after the original due date). However, the Form 20-F could not be filed within the aforesaid extended time period due to the fact that the Company was unable to finalize its financial results as well as the disclosure requirements of Form 20-F without unreasonable expense or effort. As a result, the Company could not solicit and obtain the necessary review of the Form 20-F in a timely fashion prior to the prescribed due date of the Form 20-F.

If the answer is no, identify report(s). [X] 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? [_] Yes [X] 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.
