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 was due April 19, 2018.

On April 19, 2018, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K announcing that: (i) the Company needed more time to complete the audited financial statements of PVBJ; (ii) the Company would not meet the deadline for the filing of the Amended Form 8-K; and (iii) the Company anticipated filing the Amended Form 8-K approximately the middle of May 2018.

On May 15, 2018, the Company filed a Form 12b-25, Notification of Late Filing, for its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 (the “March 31 Form 10-Q”). The Company noted that the inability to file the March 31 Form 10-Q was a result of the unforeseen complications involving the historical financial records of PVBJ.

On May 21, 2018, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K announcing that the Company anticipated filing the Amended Form 8-K and the March 31 Form 10-Q approximately the beginning of June 2018.

The Company has substantially completed the financial statements of PVBJ and expects to file the Amended Form 8-K as well as the March 31 Form 10-Q no later than June 18, 2018
