SECTION 8 – OTHER EVENTS

Item 8.01 Other Events.

Delayed Filing of Annual Report on Form 10-K and Reliance on Order Regarding 45-Day Extension

AmericaTowne Holdings, Inc. (the “Company,”) files this Current Report on Form 8-K (“Report”) in reliance on the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) order dated March 25, 2020, Release No. 34-88465. The purpose of this Report is to notify investors and the public at large of its inability to timely file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the 2019 Fiscal Year (“Annual Report”) due to the circumstances related to the novel coronavirus known as COVID-19 (the “Coronavirus”).

The Company is based in North Carolina and conducts business around the United States, in China, and in Africa. The spread of the Coronavirus in China and the United States has adversely affected the Company’s ability to conduct necessary work to finalize its audited financial statements and otherwise finalize its Annual Report. As a result, the Company anticipates filing its Annual Report on or before May 14, 2020. The Company also provides the following risk factor related to the novel coronavirus below.

Risk Factor

The Novel Coronavirus May Adversely Affect the Company and its Business

The Company is based in Raleigh, North Carolina, and conducts business in states around the United States, as well as China and Africa. The novel coronavirus known as COVID-19 (the “Coronavirus”) has forced many businesses to close individuals to stay in their homes. The State of North Carolina has not yet issued a “shelter-in-place” order, though it may in the future. Regardless, the Coronavirus has adversely affected the Company, as well as its clients, suppliers, and employees, and may adversely affect the Company’s business or the Company’s ability to operate in the future. Future government intervention or regulation may significantly impact the Company’s ability to operate. Investors and potential investors should consider the current governmental regulations, as well as the possibility of additional intervention, in owning or purchasing the Company’s stock.

SIGNATURES

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Company has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
