Item 8.01 Other Events.

On March 26, 2020, China XD Plastic Company Limited (the “Company”) furnished a Form 8-K for a 45 calendar day extension of its required filing of annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 (the “Annual Report”) under an order issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission under Section 36 (Release No. 34-88318) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

On May 12, 2020, the Company filed a Form 12b-25 which extended by another 15 calendar days its required filing of the Annual Report to May 29, 2020 (the “Extended Deadline”).

 

The Company availed itself of these extensions to have additional time to ensure the accuracy of its 2019 financial information and to complete the required discussion and analysis of the Company’s business, due to the existing economic environment, including circumstances related to the global outbreak of COVID-19. The Company’s employees and professional advisors have been working diligently to file the Annual Report no later than the Extended Deadline. However, the unprecedented spread of COVID-19 and related local restrictions have caused the closure of the Company’s offices and limited access to the Company’s facilities and books and records, resulting in limited support from and access to key personnel and professional advisors, as well as communications and similar delays among such persons. These disruptions and limited support have, in turn, delayed the Company’s ability to complete its financial reporting process and complete the Annual Report.

 

The Company expects to file its Annual Report on June 1, 2020.
