If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should be completed (Check box if appropriate)

 

 (a) The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense;
     
 (b)   The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on Form 10-K, Form 20-F, Form 11-K, Form N-SAR or Form N-CSR, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly report or transition report on Form 10-Q or subject distribution report on Form 10-D, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date; and

PART III - NARRATIVE

 

State below in reasonable  detail the  reasons  why the Form 10-K could not be filed within the prescribed time period. (Attach Extra Sheets If Needed)

  

The Registrant has determined that it is unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “Annual Report”) within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense for the reason set forth below.

 

The Registrant became a large accelerated filer for the first time on June 30, 2021, which resulted in a significantly shortened filing deadline to file its Annual Report of 60 days rather than 90 days when the Registrant was a smaller reporting company. Commencing with this Annual Report, the Registrant is now (for the first time) subject to the requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“SOX Act”).

 

For the foregoing reason, the Registrant requires additional time to complete the procedures relating to its year-end reporting process, including the completion of the audit of its financial statements, finalizing those disclosures and conclusions required by Section 404(b) of the SOX Act, and procedures and conclusions relating to management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal controls, and the Registrant is therefore unable to file the Annual Report by March 1, 2022, the prescribed filing due date. The Registrant is working diligently to complete the necessary work, and expects to file the Annual Report within the extension period provided under Rule 12b-25 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
