Item 8.01 Other Events
On March 4, 2020 the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) issued an Order under Section 36 (Release No. 34-88318) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) granting exemptions from specified provisions of the Exchange Act and certain rules thereunder, as superseded by a subsequent order (Release No. 34-88465) issued on March 25, 2020 (collectively, the “Order”). The Order provides that a registrant (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 12b-2) subject to the reporting requirements of Exchange Act Section 13(a) or 15(d), and any person required to make any filings with respect to such a registrant, is exempt from any requirement to file or furnish materials with the Commission under Exchange Act Sections 13(a), 13(f), 13(g), 14(a), 14(c), 14(f), 15(d) and Regulations 13A, Regulation 13D-G (except for those provisions mandating the filing of Schedule 13D or amendments to Schedule 13D), 14A, 14C and 15D, and Exchange Act Rules 13f-1, and 14f-1, as applicable, where certain conditions are satisfied.
Synchronoss Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) is unable to meet the filing deadline for the filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 (the “Quarterly Report”) due to circumstances related to COVID-19 and is relying on the Order and furnishing this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Report”) by the original filing deadline of the Quarterly Report. The Company’s operations have experienced disruptions due to the circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic including, but not limited to, suggested and mandated social distancing and stay home orders. These mandates and the resulting office closures have limited access to the Company’s facilities by the Company’s financial reporting and accounting staff as well as other advisors involved in the preparation of the Quarterly Report and impacted the Company’s ability to fulfill required preparation and review processes and procedures with respect to the Quarterly Report.
The Company expects to file the Quarterly Report by June 19, 2020, within 45 days after the original filing deadline of the Quarterly Report.
