Item 8.01 Other Events.

Sunshine Biopharma, Inc..(“we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”) will be relying on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Order under Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Granting Exemptions From Specified Provisions of the Exchange Act and Certain Rules Thereunder dated March 4, 2020 (Release No. 34-88318) (the “Order”) to delay the filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “2019 10-K”) due to the circumstances related to COVID-19.We have a small accounting staff based in Montreal, Canada and Denver, Colorado both of which are subject to a citywide lockdown, which is making it very difficult for us to complete the report in a timely manner.  Furthermore, our directors, consultants and our auditors are all working remotely and are also on lockdown in various jurisdictions due to coronavirus. Therefore, we require extra time to complete our 10K for 2019.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company expects to file the 2019 10-K no later than May 29, 2020 (which is 60 days from the 2019 10-K’s original filing deadline of March 30, 2020).
