Item 8.01 Other Events

Due to the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) outbreak, Energy Services of America Corporation (the “Company”) who is the plan sponsor of the Energy Services of America 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan (the “Plan”) is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to avail itself of an extension to file the Plan’s Annual Report on Form 11-K for the plan year ended December 31, 2019 (the “Form 11-K”). The Plan is relying on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Order under Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Modifying Exemptions From the Reporting and Proxy Delivery Requirements for Public Companies dated March 25, 2020 (Release No. 34-88465) (the “Order”).

As previously disclosed, the operations and business of the Company has experienced disruptions due to the unprecedented conditions surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, the Plan is relying on the Order due to limited availability of key Company personnel to prepare and review the Form 11-K. This has been caused by the time and attention needed for business and operational issues resulting from COVID-19. The Plan anticipates that it will file its Form 11-K no later than 45 days after the original June 29, 2020 due date for the Form 11-K as permitted by the Order.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, hereunto duly authorized.
