Due to the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), Luokung Technology Corp. (the “Company”) is filing this current report on Form 6-K to avail itself of an extension to file its annual financial statements on Form 20-F for the twelve months ended on December 31, 2019 (the “Report”), which is originally due on April 30, 2020, relying on an order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 4, 2020 pursuant to Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Release No. 34-88318) regarding exemptions granted to certain public companies (the “Order”).

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China, which has and is continuing to spread throughout China and other parts of the world, including the United States. On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern,” and on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the outbreak as a “pandemic.”

China, where we conduct our business, was materially impacted by the COVID-19. The Company has been following the recommendations of local health authorities to minimize exposure risk for its employees, including the temporary closures of our offices, and having many employees work remotely. There was a country wide lockdown from January 23, 2020 to April 8, 2020. As a result of the above-mentioned factors, the Company’s books and records were not easily accessible, resulting in delay in preparation, compilation and completion of our annual financial statements.

As of the date of this filing, the Company expects, in reliance on the Order, to file the Annual Report with the SEC no later than 45 days after April 30, 2020.

Additional Risk Factor

The Company intends to include the following risk factor, as may be expanded or revised as the Company determines appropriate, to reflect the currently unknown and constantly evolving effects of the COVID-19, in the Annual Report:

We are susceptible to general economic conditions, natural catastrophic events and public health crises, which could adversely affect our operating results.

Our results of operations could be adversely affected by general conditions in the global economy, including conditions that are outside of our control, such as the impact of health and safety concerns from the current outbreak of the COVID-19 coronavirus. Governments in affected countries are imposing travel bans, quarantines and other emergency public health measures. Those measures, though temporary in nature, may continue and increase depending on developments in the COVID-19’s outbreak. Due to the extended lock-down and self-quarantine policies in China, we have experienced significant business disruption for the past three months. The extent to which the coronavirus impacts our results will depend on future developments, 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, but is likely to result in a material impact on our business operations at least for the near term.
