Item 8.01 Other Events.

As previously reported on Current Reports on Form 8-K filed by Weyland Tech, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 18, 2019 and January 9, 2020, respectively, the Company, and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Origin8, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Purchaser”), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) for the Purchaser to acquire substantially all of the assets of Push Holdings, Inc. (“Push”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of ConversionPoint Technologies, Inc. (“ConversionPoint,” and together with Push, the “Sellers”), in exchange for a total of up to 35,714,285 shares of restricted common stock (the “Shares”) of the Company (the “Transaction”).

In connection with the Transaction, the Company is required to file financial statements of the business acquired (Push) and pro forma financial information (the “Transaction Financials”) by an amendment to Form 8-K not later than 71 days after the date upon which the prior Form 8-K was required to be filed.

On March 25, 2020, the Company determined that, due to the circumstances and uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, the Company has determined it will delay the filing of the Form 8-K/A with the Transaction Financials by up to 45 days in accordance with the SEC’s March 4, 2020 Order (Release No. 34-88318) (the “Order”), which allows for the delay of certain filings required under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

The Company previously provided a corporate update by press release on March 19, 2020 wherein the Company noted it currently sees a limited impact on its core business from COVID-19. As it relates to the integration of this significant acquisition into its financial reporting operations, however, the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic has shutdown many areas where the Company and Push are located (Hong Kong, California, New York City, Indonesia) which has hampered the Company and Push’s ability to coordinate the review and preparation of the Transaction Financials within the time prescribed by SEC rules. In addition the timing of the work on the Transaction Financials has run concurrently with the Company’s financial reporting for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, further straining resources while its financial reporting staff is subject to lockdowns and remote work requirements. The Company will file the Form 8-K/A with the Transaction Financials by no later than May 25, 2020, 45 days after the original due date of its Form 8-K/A.

Lastly, despite the Company’s election to delay the filing of the Form 8-K/A with the Transaction Financials, it still plans to timely file its Form 10-K Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 without use of the Order.
