Item 8.01 Other Events
Spar Group, Inc. (the “Company”) is unable to file its Definitive Proxy Statement (the “Proxy Statement”) in connection with its 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, including the information omitted from the Company’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 14, 2020, pursuant to General Instruction G(3) of Form 10-K (the “Part III Information”), which the Company expected to include in the Proxy Statement by the original deadline of April 29, 2020. However, due to the outbreak of, and local, state, and federal governmental responses to, and related circumstances arising from, the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company’s internal team, auditors, accountants, and other advisors whose input is required before filing the Proxy Statement, have all needed to conduct this work remotely, which has, in turn, caused a delay in the preparation and filing of the Proxy Statement. A majority of the Company’s employees are working remotely to complete and file the Proxy Statement, including the Part III Information.
Given the impact of the aforementioned circumstances, the Company was unable to compile and review certain information required to file the Proxy Statement by April 29, 2020, the original filing deadline, without unreasonable effort or expense. On March 4, 2020, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued an order (Release No. 34-88318) under Section 36 of the Exchange Act granting exemptions from specified provisions of the Exchange Act and certain rules thereunder, as superseded by a subsequent order (Release No. 34-88465) issued on March 25, 2020 (collectively, the “Order”).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 Company is relying on the Order to delay the filing of the Proxy Statement and is accordingly filing this Current Report on Form 8-K. The Company expects to file the Proxy Statement, including the Part III Information, no later than June 15, 2020, which is 45 days from the Proxy Statement’s original filing deadline of April 29, 2020.
