Item 8.01. Other Events.
On March 4, 2020, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) issued an order under Section 36 (Release No. 34-88318) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), granting exemptions from specified provisions of the Exchange Act and certain rules thereunder. On March 25, 2020, the order was modified and superseded by a new SEC order (Release No. 34-88465), which provides conditional relief to public companies that are unable to timely comply with their filing obligations as a result of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) outbreak (the “SEC Order”).
Monitronics International, Inc. (the “Company”) is relying on the SEC Order to delay the filing of an amendment to its Annual Report on Form 10-K to include Part III Information due to circumstances related to the COVID-19 pandemic. In particular, disruptions caused by continuing statewide lockdown, isolation and quarantine have resulted in more limited support from and access to key personnel, as well as communications and similar delays among such persons. Additionally, the pandemic has limited our access to facilities and documents that we rely on to timely prepare our reports. Management is therefore currently unable to timely prepare and review the Form 10-K/A. The Company will file its Form 10-K/A by no later than June 12, 2020, which is 45 days from the original due date of its Form 10-K/A.
SIGNATURE
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.
