Borqs Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) will be relying on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Order under Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Granting Exemptions From Specified Provisions of the Exchange Act and Certain Rules Thereunder dated March 4, 2020 (Release No. 34-88318) (the “March 4 Order”) to delay the filing of its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “Report”) due to the circumstances related to COVID-19. The Securities and Exchange Commission amended its Order under Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Modifying Exemptions From Specified Provisions of the Exchange Act and Certain Rules Thereunder dated March 25, 2020 (Release No. 34-88465) to cover filings due on or before July 1, 2020 (“March 25 Order”). The March 25 Order supersedes the March 4 Order.

In particular, COVID-19 has caused severe disruptions in transportation and limited access to the Company’s facilities resulting in limited support from its staff and professional advisors. This has, in turn, delayed the Company’s ability to complete its audit and prepare the Report. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company expects to file the Report no later than June 15, 2020 (which is 45 days from the Report’s original filing deadline of April 30, 2020).

In light of the current COVID-19 pandemic, the Company will be including the following Risk Factor into its Report:

The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected our operations and is likely to continue to do so at least through the third quarter of 2020.

The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected our operations and is likely to continue to do so at least through the third quarter of 2020. In particular, we were forced to cease operations for a period of two months due to quarantine restrictions and safety concerns and as of the present date we are utilizing only 50% of our employees compared to the period prior to the pandemic. The pandemic resulted in social distancing, travel bans and quarantine, and this has limited access to our facilities, customers, management, support staff and professional advisors. We have also experienced disruptions and delays to our supply chains. These have included disruptions from the temporary closure of third-party supplier and manufacturer facilities, interruptions in product supply and restrictions on the export or shipment of our products. Any disruption of our suppliers and their contract manufacturers will likely impact our sales and operating results.

These, in turn, has not only impacted our operations, financial condition and demand for our goods and services but our overall ability to react timely to mitigate the impact of this event. Also, the pandemic has substantially hampered our efforts to provide our investors with timely information and comply with our filing obligations with the SEC.
