Explanatory Note

The purpose of this Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to the Annual Report on Form 10-K of H-Cyte, Inc. (the “Company”) for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “Original Form 10-K”) is to add the “Note Regarding Reliance on SEC Order” below. In connection with the filing of this Amendment, the Company is also including with this Amendment certain currently dated certifications. Except as otherwise set forth in this Explanatory Note, no other information included in the Original Form 10-K, filed on April 22, 2020, is amended or changed by this Amendment.

Note Regarding Reliance on SEC Order

As result of the global outbreak of the COVID-19 virus, on March 27, 2020 the Company evaluated its ongoing effort to prepare and file its annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. Certain Company officers and management as well as professional staff and consultants were then unable to conduct work required to prepare our financial report for the year ended December 31, 2019.

As a result, the Company was unable to compile and review certain information required in order to permit the Company to file a timely and accurate annual report on Form 10-K for its year ended December 31, 2019 by the prescribed date without unreasonable effort or expense due to circumstances related to COVID-19.

On March 25, 2020 the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) issued an Order under Section 36 (Release No. 34-88465) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), granting exemptions from specified provisions of the Exchange Act and certain rules thereunder, as modified by Order issued by the SEC on March 25, 2020 (Release No. 34-88465, the “Order”). The Order provides that a registrant (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 12b-2) subject to the reporting requirements of Exchange Act Section 13(a) or 15(d), and any person required to make any filings with respect to such a registrant, is exempt from any requirement to file or furnish materials with the Commission under Exchange Act Sections 13(a), 13(f), 13(g), 14(a), 14(c), 14(f), 15(d) and Regulations 13A, Regulation 13D-G (except for those provisions mandating the filing of Schedule 13D or amendments to Schedule 13D), 14A, 14C and 15D, and Exchange Act Rules 13f-1, and 14f-1, as applicable, where certain conditions are satisfied.

The Company relied on this Order for filing of its annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.
