Item 8.012. | Other Events |
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of the Exchange Act granting exemptions from specified provisions of the Exchange Act and certain rules thereunder, as superseded by a subsequent order (Release No. 34-88465) issued on March 25, 2020 (collectively, the “Order”). As permitted by the Order, Natus Medical Incorporated (the “Company”) will delay the filing of the information required in Part III (the “Part III Information”) of the Company’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 2, 2020 (“Form 10-K”), which Part III Information will be filed when the Company’s definitive proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) is filed. Certain administrative delays caused by the implementation of policies to minimize health risks of the COVID-19 pandemic, including delays relating to offices closures and work from home policy, have in turn caused a delay in the completion of the Part III Information. The Company is in the process of working on a remote basis to complete and file the Proxy Statement, including the Part III Information, as quickly as possible.
Given the impact of the aforementioned circumstances, the Company was unable to compile and review certain information required to file the Part III Information by the original filing deadline, without unreasonable effort or expense. The Company is relying on the Order to delay the filing of the Part III Information and is accordingly filing this Current Report on Form 8-K. The Company expects to file the Part III Information, by way of filing its Proxy Statement, by May 8, 2020 (which, in accordance with the terms of the Order, is within 45 days of the original filing deadline).
In connection with the foregoing, the Company hereby incorporates by reference the risk factors contained in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 to the extent relating to the COVID-19 pandemic.
