EXPLANATORY NOTE
The OLB Group, Inc.
(the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) to its Annual Report on Form 10-K, originally
filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 29, 2020 (the “Original Form 10-K”),
solely to disclose (i) that the Company had filed the Original Form 10-K after the March 30, 2020 deadline otherwise applicable
to such filing (the “Original Deadline”) in reliance on the 45-day extension provided by an order issued by the SEC under
Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), dated March 4, 2020 (Release No.
34-88318), as modified and superseded by a new SEC order issued on March 25, 2020 (Release No. 34-88465) (collectively, the “Order”);
and (ii) the reasons why the Company could not file the Original Form 10-K on a timely basis before the Original Deadline, as described
below.
On March 30, 2020,
the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC (the “Form 8-K”) to indicate its intention to rely on the
Order for a filing extension in connection with the Company’s filing of the Original Form 10-K. Consistent with the Company’s statements
made in the Form 8-K, the Company was unable to file the Original Form 10-K prior to the Original Deadline because the Company’s
offices in the New York and Atlanta areas, including the location of the Company’s corporate headquarters, have been, and
are currently, experiencing a significant impact from the response to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. Specifically,
the Company has been following the recommendations of local government and health authorities to minimize exposure risk for its
employees for the past several weeks, including having employees work remotely, and, as a result, the Original Form 10-K was not
able to be completed by the filing deadline, due to insufficient time to facilitate the internal and external review process.
In addition, as required
by Rule 12b-15 under the Exchange Act, new certifications by the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial
officer are filed herewith as exhibits to this Amendment pursuant to Rule 13a-14(a) or 15d-14(a) of the Exchange Act. The Company
is not including the certifications pursuant to Section 1350 of Chapter 63 of Title 18 of the United States Code (18 U.S.C. 1350)
as no financial statements are being filed with this Amendment.
Except as described
above, this Amendment does not modify or update disclosures in, or exhibits to, the Original Form 10-K. Furthermore, this Amendment
does not change any previously reported financial results, nor does it reflect events occurring after the filing of the Original
Form 10-K. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original Form 10-K and the Company’s filings with
the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Original Form 10-K.
