Why they said they were late

Lee Enterprises, Incorporated (the “Company”) was unable to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended December 25, 2022 (the “Quarterly Report”) within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense for the reasons set forth below. As previously disclosed in the Company’s NT 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on December 12, 2022, the Company was in the process of evaluating deficiencies identified in connection with its assessment of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of September 25, 2022, using criteria in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and has not yet filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 25, 2022. The Company provided an update on the status of filing its Annual Report on Form 10-K on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 6, 2023. As a result of the foregoing, the Company requires additional time to complete its review of its financial statements and other disclosures as of September 25, 2022, and December 25, 2022, and to complete its closing processes and controls, and is unable to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q on or prior to the prescribed due date of February 3, 2023. The Company does not currently anticipate that it will be able to file the Form 10-Q on or before the fifth calendar day following the February 3, 2023, prescribed filing date as a result of the circumstances described above. The Company will seek to resolve these issues as soon as practicable and plans to file the Form 10-Q as soon as possible. Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements This notification on Form 12b-25 contains certain “forward-looking statements.” All statements other than statements of historical fact are “forward-looking” statements for purposes of the U.S. federal and state securities laws

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.
