If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should be completed. (Check box if appropriate)
| (a) | The reason described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense | ||

PART III — NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-CEN, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
As previously disclosed, on December 31, 2024, Codere Online Luxembourg, S.A. (the “Company”) engaged MaloneBailey LLP (“MaloneBailey”) as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm for the Company’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2024, after the resignation, on December 20, 2024, of Marcum LLP.
The Company has determined that it is unable to file its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 Form 20-F”) within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort and expense because of how recently the Company’s new auditor was engaged and that additional time is necessary to complete the audit of the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024. This delay is also driven by the significant efforts to complete and file the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Form 20-F”), which the Company filed earlier today.
The Company is working diligently to complete the audit of its financial statements in order to file the 2024 Form 20-F as soon as practicable. Although the Company expects to be able to do so this month, the Company currently believes it will be challenging to file the 2024 Form 20-F within the fifteen-day grace period provided by Rule 12b-25 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The unaudited financial information set out above is preliminary and subject to potential adjustments, which could result in differences from this preliminary unaudited financial information.
