Item 8.01. Other Events.

TMSR Holding Company Limited (the “Company”) is providing the following update on the filing of its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2020 (the “Quarterly Report”). As a result of the global outbreak of the COVID-19, first reported in mainland China in December 2019, then in Asia and eventually throughout the world, the Company is unable to meet the filing deadline of the Quarterly Report. In order to avoid the risk of the virus spreading, the Chinese government required enterprises to delay the resumption of work and production. The Chinese government required enterprises to temporarily close offices and cease production. The Company has been following the recommendations of local health authorities to minimize exposure risk for its team members in February and March, including the temporary closures of its offices and having team members work remotely. The Company started resuming its operations in April 2020, and, as a result, the Quarterly Report will not be completed by the filing deadline, due to insufficient time to facilitate the internal and external review process.

In accordance with the order (the “Order”) promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 4, 2020 in Release No. 34-88318 relating to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended as modified on March 25, 2020 in Release No. 34-88465, the Company will file the Quarterly Report within 45 calendar days of the required date, which shall be no later than June 29, 2020. The Company will evaluate its need for an additional extension under Rule 12b-25 at that time, as contemplated by the Order. The Company is working with WWC. P.C diligently to comply with such requirements.

Below is a risk factor regarding the coronavirus that the Company’s stockholders and potential investors in the Company should consider with respect to the year ended December 31, 2020.

The occurrence of the COVID-19 pandemic may negatively affect our operations depending on the severity and longevity of the pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic is currently impacting countries, communities, supply chains and markets as well as the global financial markets. The outbreak in China resulted in increased travel restrictions, and shutdown of businesses, which may cause slower recovery of the China economy. We may experience impact from quarantines, market downturns, and impact on our workforce if the virus continues to spread. COVID-19 affected a significant number of our workforce employed in our operations, and as a result we are experiencing a slow resumption of operations and may experience delays or the inability to delivery our service on a timely basis. In addition, one or more of our customers, partners, service providers or suppliers may experience financial distress, delayed or defaults on payment, file for bankruptcy protection, sharp diminishing of business, or suffer disruptions in their business due to the outbreak. The extent to which the coronavirus impacts our results will depend on future developments and reactions in China, which are highly uncertain and will include emerging information concerning the severity of the coronavirus and the actions taken by governments and private businesses to attempt to contain the coronavirus. It is likely to result in a potential material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition in the short run if the situation has gotten worse in China. Wider-spread COVID-19 in China and globally could prolong the deterioration in economic conditions and could cause decreases in or delays in advertising spending and reduce and/or negatively impact our short-term ability to grow our revenues. Any decreased collectability of accounts receivable, bankruptcy of small and medium businesses, or early termination of agreements due to deterioration in economic conditions could negatively impact our results of operations. Also, it may hamper our efforts to comply with our filing obligations with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Depending on the severity and longevity of the COVID-19 pandemic, our business, customers, and shareholders may experience a significant negative impact.
