Why they said they were late

As a result, the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “Form 10-K”) became due 15 days earlier than in years past. While the Company has dedicated significant resources to the completion of the preparation of its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 and the Form 10-K, the Company requires additional time to finalize the Form 10-K and complete the preparation of, and the Company’s independent registered public accountants, BKD, LLP, will require additional time to complete their review of, the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily due to the accelerated filing deadline. As such, the Company is unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort and expense. In accordance with Rule 12b-25 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Company expects to file its Form 10-K no later than the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date. The Company currently does not expect to report in its Form 10-K any material changes to its financial results from those previously reported in the press release for the Company’s financial results for the periods ended December 31, 2021 . The foregoing statement about the anticipated timing of the filing of the Form 10-K is a forward-looking statement within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements are based upon information presently available to the Company and assumptions that it believes to be reasonable. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon forward looking statements in this notification of late filing

About this score

reportingrisk.com scores every active US filer on three things a company tells the SEC about itself: late-filing notices on Form NT, 8-K item 4.02 (past accounts declared unreliable) and 4.01 (auditor changes). 1,012 are flagged today.

Every score is frozen and checked twelve months later. Across 91,452 of them, a company scoring 4 or more ended that year delisted, bankrupt, restated or silent 17.2% of the time, against 4.0% for a clean record. Scores before 2026-09-27 were reconstructed from the filing history as it stood at each date, so the record is a backtest rather than years of live calls.
