Item 8.01. Other Events.
Greenlane Holdings, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) will be relying on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Order under Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), Modifying Exemptions From The Reporting and Proxy Delivery Requirements for Public Companies dated March 25, 2020 (Release No. 34-88465) (the “Order”) to delay the filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 (the “Form 10-Q”) due to circumstances related to COVID-19. In particular, the current remote work environment caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in disruptions in the Company’s ability to complete its remaining accounting and internal review processes and provide its independent public registered accounting firm with timely access to its original books and records to complete their review procedures in a timely manner. Substantially all of the Company’s accounting staff working on the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and all members of the independent public registered accounting firm are now exclusively working remotely, which has made it more difficult for the Company to complete the Form 10-Q in a timely fashion. In accordance with the Order, the Company expects to file the Form 10-Q within 20 calendar days, but in no event later than June 29, 2020, which is 45 days from the original deadline of May 15, 2020.
Risk Factors
Public health epidemics, pandemics or outbreaks, including the recent coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, could adversely affect our business.
Public health epidemics, pandemics or outbreaks, and the resulting business or economic disruptions resulting therefrom, could adversely impact our business as well as our ability to raise capital. In December 2019, COVID-19 was identified in Wuhan, China. The virus continues to spread globally, has since been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization and has spread to over 100 countries, including the United States. The impact of this pandemic has been and will likely continue to be extensive in many aspects of society, which has resulted in and will likely continue to result in significant disruptions to the global economy, as well as businesses and capital markets around the world. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our business will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the duration of the pandemic, new information that may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and public and private actions to contain COVID-19 and mitigate its impact. COVID-19 has and will likely continue to result in social, economic and labor instability in the countries in which we or the third parties with whom we engage operate. Since the implementation of “stay at home” orders, there has been a significant decline in sales to smoke shops, vape shops, and similar independent retailers that comprise a large portion of our customer base. Many of these customers are closed as a result of the “stay at home” orders and it is possible that some of these customers may close permanently as a result of business lost during the pandemic. Since these stay at home orders have gone into effect, average daily revenues attributable to these customers for the period of January 1, 2020 through March 14, 2020 as compared to average daily revenues attributable to these customers for the period of March 15, 2020 through May 10, 2020 declined by approximately 41%, which could be the result of these mandatory store closures. We can provide no assurances as to when or if our revenues from retail stores will return to historical levels. While we cannot presently predict the full scope and severity of any potential business shutdowns or disruptions, if we or any of the third parties with whom we engage, including the suppliers, manufacturers, customers, and other third parties in our global supply chain, were to experience shutdowns or other significant business disruptions, our ability to conduct our business in the manner presently planned could be materially and negatively impacted. Further, any sustained disruption in the capital markets from the COVID-19 pandemic could negatively impact our ability to raise capital.
