Item 8.01 Other Events.
NanoVibronix, Inc. (the “Company”)
will be relying on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Order under Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
Modifying Exemptions From Reporting and Proxy Delivery Requirements for Public Companies dated March 25, 2020 (Release No. 34-88465)
to delay the filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “Report”) due to circumstances
related to coronavirus, or COVID-19. The Company’s principal operating and manufacturing facilities are located in Israel
and most of its employees are residents of Israel. Israel has been impacted by COVID-19 outbreak, resulting in authorities
implementing numerous measures to try to contain the virus, such as travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter in place
orders, and shutdowns. In particular, our office staff members responsible for preparing and providing supporting materials and
information to the third-party auditor and the Company’s third-party accountants and tax professionals are located in Israel,
and COVID-19 and the resulting government measures have caused disruptions in the Company’s normal interactions with among
such persons. Because of the Israeli government-mandated quarantine, the Company’s staff and third-party audit personnel
are now working remotely, leading to a significant delay in the Company’s ability to provide relevant materials and other
information to its third-party audit personnel to complete the audit for the year ended December 31, 2019. This issue has
delayed the Company’s ability to file the Report prior to the due date. The Company expects to file the Report no later than
May 14, 2020 (which is 45 days from the Report’s original filing deadline of March 30, 2020).
In light of the current COVID-19 pandemic, the
Company will be including the following Risk Factor in its Report, as may be updated to reflect subsequent events impacting the
Company:
The recent coronavirus outbreak may adversely affect our business.
In December 2019, a strain of coronavirus was
reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China, and has reached multiple other countries, resulting in government-imposed quarantines,
travel restrictions and other public health safety measures in China, the U.S., Italy, Israel and other affected countries. The
continued outbreak and spreading of the coronavirus has and may continue to adversely impact our business, as our operations are
based in and rely on third parties located in countries affected by the outbreak. Our third-party manufacturer, which is based
in China, temporarily shut down for sixty days due to the outbreak and is slowly recovering, leading to a significant delay in
the production of goods needed to fulfill our sales orders. A critical component of our products is manufactured in China, which
production has been disrupted, and we are uncertain as to when sub-assembly production of such components will be completed. Additionally,
the product design firm we rely on to model our products to comply with the CE mark in Europe is located in Italy and has been
shut down for over a month, delaying our submission for CE mark approval for the year 2020. The various precautionary measures
taken by many governmental authorities around the world in order to limit the spread of the coronavirus has had and may continue
to have an adverse effect on the global markets and global economy, including on the availability and pricing of employees, resources,
materials, manufacturing and delivery efforts and other aspects of the global economy. The financial downturn has compelled us
to furlough or reduce working hours for much of our operating staff, as well as third-party contractors, and our clients may encounter
cash-flow issues that will delay their payments to us. We also rely on third-party professionals to provide services such as the
preparation of our financial statements and to conduct audits, and many of these parties have been affected by government-imposed
precautionary measures, thereby delaying our receipt of these services. Therefore, the coronavirus has and could continue to disrupt
production and cause delays in the supply and delivery of our products, may continue to affect our operation, may further divert
the attention and efforts of the medical community to coping with the coronavirus and disrupt the marketplace in which we operate
and may have a material adverse effect on our operations. The extent to which the coronavirus impacts our results will depend on
future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning
the severity of the coronavirus and the actions to contain the coronavirus or treat its impact, among others. The development of
the coronavirus outbreak could materially disrupt our business and operations, hamper our ability to raise additional funds or
sell or securities, continue to slow down the overall economy, curtail consumer spending, interrupt our sources of supply, and
make it hard to adequately staff our operations.
