GulfSlope Energy, Inc. (the “Company”), is unable to file its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2019 (the “Form 10-Q”) within the prescribed time period, because the Company requires additional time to assess a complex accounting matter necessary for the completion of its financial statements. The delay could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense. In accordance with Rule 12b-25 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Company anticipates filing its quarterly report on Form 10-Q no later than five calendar days following the prescribed due date.
