Item 8.01. Other Events.

Luby’s, Inc. (the “Company”) is unable to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 11, 2020 (“Quarterly Report”) by the original deadline of April 27, 2020 due to the outbreak of, and local, state and federal governmental responses to, the novel coronavirus pandemic (“COVID-19 pandemic”). The Company’s operations have experienced disruptions due to the circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic including, but not limited to, suggested and mandated social distancing and stay home orders, a significant number of temporary store closings, and limited service in other stores. These mandates and orders and the resulting office closures and staff reductions have severely limited access to our facilities by our financial reporting and accounting staff and impacted our ability to fulfill required preparation and review processes and procedures.

On March 4, 2020 the Securities and Exchange Commission issued an order (Release No. 34-88318) under Section 36 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 amended by Release No. 34-88465 issued on March 25, 2020 (collectively, the “Order”).

In light of the impact of the factors described above, the Company will be unable to compile and review certain information required in order to permit the Company to timely file the Quarterly Report by April 27, 2020, the original filing deadline, without unreasonable effort or expense.

The Company is relying on the Order and is furnishing this Current Report on Form 8-K by the original filing deadline of the Quarterly Report. The Company expects to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q no later than 45 days after April 27, 2020, the original filing deadline of the Quarterly Report.

In light of the rapidly evolving COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has also filed a Current Report on Form 8-K on April 7, 2020 for the purpose of supplementing the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 28, 2019.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains statements that are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K, other than statements of historical fact, are “forward-looking statements” for purposes of these provisions, including the statements regarding the expected filing date of the Quarterly Report and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company cautions readers that various factors could cause its actual financial and operational results to differ materially from those indicated by forward-looking statements made from time-to-time in news releases, reports, proxy statements, registration statements, and other written communications, as well as oral statements made from time to time by representatives of the Company. The following factors, as well as any other cautionary language included in this Current Report on Form 8-K, provide examples of risks, uncertainties and events that may cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from the expectations the Company describes in such forward-looking statements: general business and economic conditions; the impact of competition; our operating initiatives; fluctuations in the costs of commodities, including beef, poultry, seafood, dairy, cheese and produce; increases in utility costs, including the costs of natural gas and other energy supplies; changes in the availability and cost of labor; the seasonality of the Company’s business; changes in governmental regulations, including changes in minimum wages; the effects of inflation; the availability of credit; unfavorable publicity relating to operations, including publicity concerning food quality, illness or other health concerns or labor relations; the continued service of key management personnel; and other risks and uncertainties disclosed in the Company’s annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K.
