Item 8.01

Other Events

On March 26, 2020, Rego Payment Architectures, Inc. (the “Company”) determined that it will be unable to meet the March 30, 2020 deadline to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 (the “Form 10-K”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission, due to circumstances related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Company is relying on the following order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission:

SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 Release No. 34-88318 / March 4, 2020 ORDER UNDER SECTION 36 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 GRANTING EXEMPTIONS FROM SPECIFIED PROVISIONS OF THE EXCHANGE ACT AND CERTAIN RULES THEREUNDER

The Company’s inability to meet the filing requirement is a result of limited access to facilities, support staff and professional advisors resulting from Pennsylvania Governor Wolf’s “Stay at Home” order that includes Chester and Montgomery Counties where the Company’s corporate office and financial personnel reside and similar orders in other jurisdictions.

The Company estimates that it will be able to file the Form 10-K not later than April 30, 2020.
