PART III — NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
Tevogen Bio Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), was unable to file, without unreasonable effort and expense, its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 (the “Q3 Form 10-Q”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) within the prescribed time period. The Company outsources a portion of its internal accounting and financial reporting function to a third-party and has recently changed service providers and, in connection therewith, requires additional time to finalize the Company’s financial statements and accompanying notes to be disclosed in the Q3 Form 10-Q. The Company will continue to report in its Q3 Form 10-Q material weaknesses related to its internal controls over financial reporting. The Company plans to file the Q3 Form 10-Q with the SEC as soon as practicable, and no later than the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date, in accordance with Rule 12b-25.
PART IV — OTHER INFORMATION
| (1) | Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this notification |
| Ryan Saadi | 877 | 838-6436 | ||
| (Name) | (Area Code) | (Telephone Number) |
| (2) | Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If answer is no, identify report(s). |
☒ Yes ☐ No
| (3) | Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof? |
☒ Yes ☐ No
The Company anticipates that significant changes in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the Q3 Form 10-Q, with an anticipated net loss of approximately $4.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, which is significantly lower than the net loss of approximately $56.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The primary reason for this shift was a change in the change in fair value of convertible promissory notes to an approximate $48.5 million decrease in fair value in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, due to the timing of the settlement of the convertible promissory notes upon the closing of the previously announced business combination (the “Business Combination”) with Tevogen Bio Inc. on February 14, 2024, as compared to an approximate $49.1 million increase in fair value in the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Partially offsetting this was an approximate $34.9 million increase in loss from operations, primarily as a result of $26.3 million of non-cash, stock-based compensation expense recognized when the liquidity event condition contained in certain stock-based awards was satisfied upon the closing of the Business Combination, and approximately $7.5 million of transaction costs in connection with the Business Combination in the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
The Company is in the process of finalizing the preparation of the Company’s financial statements and accompanying notes thereto, as of and for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. Accordingly, the foregoing expectations are preliminary, unaudited, and subject to change in connection with the completion of the reporting process and preparation of the Company’s financial statements, and actual results may vary significantly from the foregoing expectations.
