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.
Virax Biolabs Group Limited (the “Company”) is unable, without unreasonable effort or expense, to file its annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 (the “Form 20-F”) by July 31, 2022, the filing date applicable to foreign private issuers, due to a delay experienced by the Registrant in completing its financial statements and other disclosures in the Form 20-F in connection with the Registrant’s recently completed initial public offering of ordinary shares, which closed on July 25, 2022. As a consequence of the efforts it dedicated to the initial public offering, the Registrant could not finalize its financial statement preparation and disclosures for the period ended March 31, 2022 without undue hardship and expense to the Registrant. The Registrant anticipates that it will file the Form 20-F no later than the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed filing date.
