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.

 

Electronic Cigarettes International Group, Ltd. (the “Registrant”) was unable, without unreasonable effort or expense, to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2016 (the “Quarterly Report”) within the prescribed time period due to a delay experienced by the Registrant in completing its financial statements and other disclosures in the Quarterly Report. As a result, the Registrant is still in the process of compiling required information to complete the Quarterly Report and its independent registered public accounting firm requires additional time to complete its review of the financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2016 to be incorporated in the Quarterly Report. The Registrant anticipates that it will file the Quarterly Report no later than the fifth calendar day following the prescribed filing date.

 

This notification includes forward looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The word “anticipates” and similar terms and phrases are used in this notification to identify forward-looking statements, including statements regarding the Registrant’s estimated timing for the filing of the Quarterly Report. Forward-looking statements are subject to various known and unknown risks and uncertainties and the Registrant cautions you that any forward-looking information provided by or on behalf of the Registrant is not a guarantee of future performance. The Registrant’s actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by such forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, some of which are beyond the Registrant’s control, including, but not limited to, the risk factors detailed from time to time in reports filed by the Registrant with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25. The Registrant undertakes no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof.
