PART III - NARRATIVE

 

State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

 

Edison Nation, Inc. (the “Company”) was unable to file its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 (the “Quarterly Report”) within the prescribed period because of technical difficulties connecting to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s EDGAR system. The Quarterly Report was completed, executed and ready to be filed with the Commission prior to the 5:30 p.m. Eastern time deadline for the acceptance of filings on June 29, 2020, the due date for the filing, and the Company’s filing agent attempted to commence transmission of the Quarterly Report on the EDGAR system prior to such deadlines. Despite the Company’s best efforts to submit the Quarterly Report with the Commission on a timely basis, the Company was unable to do so due to the connectivity issues with the EDGAR system.

 

The Company filed the Quarterly Report on June 29, 2020 after the 5:30 p.m. Eastern time deadline. The Company is submitting this Form 12b-25 to ensure that it remains timely in its periodic filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
