Item 8.01 Other Events
Due to the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), Greenland Technologies Holding Corporation (the “Company”) is filing this current report on Form 8-K to avail itself of an extension to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2020 (the “Quarterly Report”), which is originally due on May 15, 2020, pursuant to Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (Release Nos. 34-88318 dated March 4, 2020 and Release Nos. 34-88465 dated March 25, 2020).
In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China, which has and is continuing to spread throughout China and other parts of the world, including the United States. On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern,” and on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the outbreak as a “pandemic.”
Zhejiang Province, where we conduct a substantial part of our business, is one of the most affected areas in China. Between January and March of 2020, the Company’s employees were asked to work remotely. As a result, the Company’s books and records were not easily accessible, resulting in delay in preparation and completion of its financial statements.
Based on the foregoing, the Company expects to file the Quarterly Report on or around June 15, 2020 but no later than June 29, 2020.

Examples of these statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the anticipated impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on travel, the anticipated impact of such outbreak on our results of operations, and possible effect of the postponement and cancellation of customer orders on our overall revenues.
These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the statements made. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak, including on the demand for our products; the duration of the COVID-19 outbreak and severity of such outbreak in regions where we operate; the pace of recovery following the COVID-19 outbreak; our ability to implement cost containment and business recovery strategies; the adverse effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on our business or the market price of our ordinary shares; and the risk and uncertainties described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and our subsequent filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including subsequent periodic reports on Forms 10-Q and 8-K.
Except as required by law, the Company does not undertake any obligation to release publicly any revisions to forward-looking statements made by it to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date hereof or the occurrence of unanticipated events.
