(Attach extra Sheets if Needed)

Harte Hanks, Inc. (the “Company”) is unable to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2017 (the “Second Quarter 10-Q”) within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense. As described in the Company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K furnished on March 17, 2017 and April 6, 2017, the Company’s delay in filing the Second Quarter 10-Q is in part due to (i) the additional time the Company required to complete the preparation of its audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 and file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the corresponding period (the “Form 10-K”), which the Company filed on June 16, 2017, and (ii) the additional time the Company requires to complete the preparation of its quarterly financial statements for the first quarter of fiscal 2017 and file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the corresponding period (the “First Quarter 10-Q”). Until the quarterly financial statements for the first quarter of fiscal 2017 are complete and the First Quarter 10-Q is filed, the Company is not able to complete its quarterly financial statements for the second quarter of fiscal 2017.

The Company was delayed in preparing its financial statements for the second quarter and six months ending June 30, 2017, and filing its Second Quarter 10-Q, because it was unable to complete the closing of its accounting books for the second quarter of fiscal 2017. This inability to close its accounting books was due to the delay in the Company’s preparation of its financial statements for the first quarter of fiscal 2017 and related filing of the First Quarter 10-Q, which were in turn delayed primarily due to the delays in the preparation of its audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 and related Form 10-K filing. The Company will not be in a position to file its Second Quarter 10-Q within the five-day extension period provided by Rule 12b-25 because the Company does not anticipate filing its First Quarter 10-Q within such period. The Company is working diligently to resolve these matters and intends to file its First Quarter 10-Q and subsequently its Second Quarter 10-Q as promptly as reasonably practicable.

PART IV — OTHER INFORMATION

(1)	Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this notification
	Robert L. R. Munden	(210)	829-9000
	(Name)	(Area Code)	(Telephone Number)

(2)	Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If answer is no, identify report(s).

			o Yes x No
	The Company has not filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2017.
(3)	Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?

			x Yes o No

	If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.

The Company is unable to provide a reasonable estimate of its results of operations for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2017 for the reasons set forth in Part III above describing why the Second Quarter 10-Q could not be filed on time.
