Item 8.01 Other Events.
On February 5, 2018, H/Cell Energy Corporation (the “Company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Form 8-K”) announcing the acquisition of PVBJ Inc., a New Jersey corporation (“PVBJ”). In the Form 8-K, the Company indicated that it would file the financial information required by Item 9.01(a) and 9.01(b) on an amended Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Amended Form 8-K”) not later than seventy-one (71) calendar days after the date that the Form 8-K was required to be filed, in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Amended Form 8-K is due today, April 19, 2018. Due to unforeseen complications involving the historical financial records of PVBJ, the Company needs more time to complete the audited financial statements of PVBJ. As such, the Company will not meet the deadline for the filing of the Amended Form 8-K. The Company is working diligently to complete the financial statements of PVBJ and will file the Amended Form 8-K as soon as possible, which the Company currently anticipates will be approximately the middle of May 2018.
