Item 8.01 Other Events

On April 6, 2020, the Board of Directors of Groupon, Inc. approved restructuring actions relating to the Company’s previously announced planned exit of the Goods category and as part of cost cutting measures implemented in response to the impact of the novel coronavirus (“Covid-19”) pandemic. Covid-19 has caused disruptions in the Company’s day-to-day activities and impacted the ability of its staff to complete, within four business days, the procedures relating to the restructuring actions and disclosure thereof. As a result, the Company will be relying on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (the “SEC”) Orders under Section 36 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, dated March 4, 2020 and March 25, 2020 (Release Nos. 34-88318 and 34-88465) to delay the filing of its Current Report on Form 8-K relating to these actions. The Company expects to file the Current Report by April 13, 2020.
