| Item 8.01 | Other Events. |
Burzynski Research Institute, Inc. (the “Company”) has historically funded its operations through payments made by Stanislaw R. Burzynski, M.D., Ph.D. (“Dr. Burzynski”), the Company’s President, Chief Financial Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors and beneficial owner of a majority of the Company’s outstanding common stock.
The Company has been advised by Dr. Burzynski that, due to limited available resources, he will not be able to fund certain costs associated with the Company’s ongoing compliance with its reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), including, without limitation, costs associated with the preparation and filing of periodic reports and related professional fees (the “SEC Reporting Costs”). As a result, the Company expects that it will be unable to meet certain Exchange Act reporting requirements, including, without limitation, the timely filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2026 that is due on or about May 29, 2026, and subsequent periodic reports required under Sections 13(a) and/or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Periodic Reports”).
Potential SEC and Market Consequences of Delinquency
If the Company is unable to file required Periodic Reports, the Company will become delinquent in its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act. Continued delinquency could subject the Company to a number of consequences, including actions by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
Among other things, the SEC may, in its discretion and based on the facts and circumstances, issue an order temporarily suspending trading in the Company’s securities under Section 12(k) of the Exchange Act.
In addition, continued failure to file required Periodic Reports could result in the SEC instituting administrative proceedings pursuant to Section 12(j) of the Exchange Act to suspend or revoke the registration of the Company’s securities, which would, among other things, significantly impair the ability of investors to effect transactions in the Company’s securities.
If the Company’s Exchange Act registration is suspended or revoked, or if a trading suspension occurs, broker-dealers may be restricted under applicable SEC rules from publishing quotations for the Company’s securities, and trading liquidity, if any, could be severely reduced or eliminated. The Company cannot predict whether, when or how any such actions might occur.
The Company cautions that the foregoing discussion includes forward-looking statements regarding expected future events and the Company’s future compliance with SEC reporting obligations.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and are based on current expectations. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors, including, without limitation, the availability and timing of funding for SEC Reporting Costs, the Company’s ability to secure additional financing on acceptable terms or at all, and the actions that may be taken by the SEC or other parties in response to any delinquency in the Company’s Exchange Act reporting.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
