Barry Goodman, age 62.

Mr. Goodman plays an integral role in business and product development, and in the strategic direction of the firm as a whole. Mr. Goodman joined the General Partner (including its former affiliate The Millburn Corporation) and Millburn Partners in November 1982 as Assistant Director of Trading and most recently thereafter served as Executive Vice President of the General Partner and The Millburn Corporation until November 1, 2015.

Item 8.01Other Events

 

In reliance on the March 4, 2020 Securities and Exchange Commission Order Under Section 36 Of The Securities Exchange Act Of 1934 Granting Exemptions From Specified Provisions Of The Exchange Act And Certain Rules Thereunder, the registrant will delay the filing of the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, originally due Monday, March 30, 2020.

 

The primary reasons the Partnership will not be able to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K by March 30, 2020 are the combination of extreme market volatility, necessitating an unprecedented amount of attention of the General Partner’s accounting staff to trade reconciliation and settlement related matters, and the simultaneous strain on the rest of the General Partner’s personnel as a result of government agency-suggested/mandated isolations and a resulting remote/work-from-home environment, the combination of which has reduced the efficiency of the General Partner as well as of third party service providers and the accessibility of  timely information for the Partnership. 

 

The Partnership anticipates filing its Annual Report on Form 10-K by no later than April 25, 2020.

 

The spread of Coronavirus related illness, such as COVID-19, within the offices of the General Partner or among its key employees, notwithstanding work-from-home arrangements, could severely impair the operational capabilities of the General Partner resulting in harm to the Partnership’s business and its operating results.
