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.

Symantec Corporation (the “Company”) is unable to file, without unreasonable effort and expense, its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 29, 2018 (the “Form 10-Q”) because it requires additional time to prepare its financial statements included in the Form 10-Q.

On May 30, 2018, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Form 12b-25, Notification of Late Filing, with regard to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 30, 2018 because the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”) had commenced an internal investigation in connection with concerns raised by a former employee. The Audit Committee has retained and continues to work diligently with its independent counsel and advisors to complete its internal investigation as soon as possible. As a result, the Company has not finalized its financial statements pending completion of the investigation, and the Company is not in a position to file its Form 10-Q until after the Audit Committee completes its internal investigation and subsequent procedures by the Company’s independent public accounting firm.

The Company has voluntarily contacted the Securities and Exchange Commission to advise it that an internal investigation is underway, and the Audit Committee intends to provide additional information to the SEC as the investigation proceeds. The investigation is ongoing and the Company cannot predict the duration or outcome of the investigation.
