Item8.01. Other Events.

In reliance on Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation 104.18, dated April 6, 2020, and the Order described below, Interpace Biosciences, Inc. (the “Company”) is delaying the filing of its definitive proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”), including the information omitted from its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 (the “Report”) pursuant to General Instruction G(3) of Form 10-K (the “Part III Information”).

The effects of COVID-19 have limited the abilities of the Company’s employees to conduct normal business activities. This has, in turn, delayed the Company’s ability to prepare the Proxy Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company expects to file the Proxy Statement no later than June 15, 2020 (which is the first business day 45 days from the original filing deadline of April 29, 2020 for incorporation by reference in the Report of the Part III Information) in compliance with the exemptions granted under the Order.

On March 25, 2020, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) issued an order Release No. 34-88465 (the “Order”) pursuant to its authority under Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”) granting exemptions from certain provisions of that Act and the rules thereunder related to the reporting and proxy delivery requirements for certain public companies. On March 30, 2020, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K in reliance on the Order to extend the March 30, 2020 required filing date of the Report to no later than May 14, 2020. The Company filed the Report on April 22, 2020.
