Franchise
Holdings International, Ltd. (the “Company”) hereby announces that it is relying the order of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, Release No. 34-88318, dated March 4, 2020 for the extension of the filing deadline of its Annual Report on Form 10-K,
for the year ended December 31, 2019. The outbreak and resulting effect on supply partners has resulted in various delays
with respect to completing the audit in a timely manner. Customers, suppliers, and service providers have all been affected by
the outbreak, resulting in delays in confirmations and correspondences.
Management
believed that the additional period allowed when filing its NT-10K on 03/31/2020
would have been sufficient. Additionally, Management is aware
that the filing for this exemption must have been filed by March 30th, 2020, however, due to unforeseen additional
delays relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, management is now requesting the use of the exemption relating to the
order of the Securities and Exchange Commission, Release No. 34-88318, dated March 4, 2020.
The
Company expects the Annual Report to be filed by April 30th, 2020.
SIGNATURES
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.
