PART
III – NARRATIVE
State
below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-CEN, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof,
could not be filed within the prescribed time period. (Attach Extra Sheets if Needed).
theMaven,
Inc. (the “Company”) is unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal period ended December 31, 2020
(the “2020 Form 10-K”) in a timely manner without unreasonable effort or expense. As previously announced, the Company
is currently delinquent in its periodic report filings and has been unable to file its Comprehensive Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the fiscal period ended December 31, 2019, which contains all of the quarterly periods for fiscal 2019 (the “2019 10-K”),
its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 (the “2020 Q1 Form 10-Q”), its Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 (the “2020 Q2 Form 10-Q”), and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 (the “2020 Q3 Form 10-Q” and, together with the 2019 10-K, the 2020 Q1 Form
10-Q, and the 2020 Q2 Form 10-Q, the “Delinquent Reports”). The Company is currently in the process of preparing and
finalizing the remainder of its Delinquent Reports and anticipates filing them in the near term.
The
delay in preparing the Company’s financial statements primarily relates to (i) the magnitude of work that the Company has
to complete to prepare its financial statements that will be contained in the remainder of the Delinquent Reports, (ii) the time
and resources expended by the Company to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal period ended December 31, 2018, and
(iii) the impact COVID-19 has had on the business operations of the Company, including office closures and our accounting staff
working remotely.
