PART III - NARRATIVE

 

State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

 

As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Nabriva Therapeutics plc (the “Company”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on January 9, 2023, after an assessment of the Company’s strategic options, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) approved a plan to preserve the Company’s cash to adequately fund an orderly wind down of the Company’s operations (the “Cash Preservation Plan”).

 

As part of the Cash Preservation Plan, the Board determined to terminate all of the Company’s employees not deemed necessary to execute an orderly wind down of the Company’s operations. The Company largely completed its planned workforce reduction in the first quarter of 2023, which significantly reduced the number of persons employed within the Company’s finance and accounting functions. As a result of the reduction in staffing, the Company has been unable, without unreasonable effort or expense, to compile the information necessary to complete its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2023 (the “Quarterly Report”) by its due date (May 15, 2023). The Company anticipates that it will file the Quarterly Report no later than the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date.
