ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENT

Due to the outbreak of, and local, state and federal governmental responses to, the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, Crown Equity Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) is filing this current report on Form 8-K to avail itself of an extension to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “Annual Report”), originally due on March 30, 2020. Specifically, the Company is relying on an order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 25, 2020 (which extended and superseded a prior order issued on March 4, 2020), pursuant to Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Release No. 34-88465) (the “Order”), regarding exemptions granted to certain public companies. The Order allows a registrant up to an additional 45 days after the original due date of certain reports required to be filed with the SEC if a registrant’s ability to file such report timely is affected due to COVID-19.

The Company’s operations and business have experienced disruptions due to the unprecedented conditions surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic spreading throughout the United States and the world and thus the Company’s business operations have been disrupted and it is unable to timely review and prepare the Company’s financial statements for the 2019 fiscal year. .

These disruptions include but are not limited to closure of our corporate office in Las Vegas, Nevada, and the limited availability of key Company personnel and professional advisors who are needed to prepare the Annual Report due in part to suggested and mandated social quarantining and work from home orders. This has, in turn, delayed the Company’s ability to complete its audit and prepare the Annual Report. As a result, the Company will be relying on the 45-day grace-period provided by the SEC’s Order to extend the filing deadline within which the Company is required to file its Annual Report. The Company expects to file its Annual Report 10-K no later than May 14, 2020, which is 45 days after the original due date of March 30, 2020.

AN OCCURRENCE OF AN UNCONTROLLABLE EVENT SUCH AS THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC IS LIKELY TO NEGATIVELY IMPACT OUR OPERATIONS. The ongoing coronavirus outbreak which began at the beginning of 2020 has impacted various businesses throughout the world, including travel restrictions and the extended shutdown of certain businesses in impacted geographic regions. A pandemic typically results in social distancing, travel bans and quarantine, and the effects of, and response to, the COVID-19 pandemic has so far limited access to our corporate office, personnel and professional advisors. If the coronavirus outbreak situation should worsen, we may experience additional disruptions to our business. The extent to which the coronavirus impacts our operations or those of our third-party partners will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the duration of the outbreak, new information that may emerge concerning the severity of the coronavirus and the actions to contain the coronavirus or treat its impact, among others.
