EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (the “Amendment”) is being filed to amend the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Transportation and Logistics Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “Original Report”), as originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 29, 2020. The Amendment adds the following requisite disclosure under the heading “Note Regarding Reliance on SEC Order” pertaining to reliance by the Company on the SEC Order issued March 25, 2020 (the “SEC Order”), pursuant to 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 (Release No. 34-88465). In connection with the filing of this Amendment, the Company is also including certain currently dated certifications. Except as otherwise set forth in this Explanatory Note, no other information included in the Original Report is amended or changed by this Amendment.

 

Note Regarding Reliance on SEC Order

 

The Company filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 after the March 30, 2020 deadline applicable to the Company for the filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K in reliance on the SEC Order, permitting the delay in filing due to circumstances related to the COVID-19 outbreak.

 

On March 26, 2020, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Form 8-K) to indicate its intention to rely on the SEC Order to delay the filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K because the Company’s operations and business were experiencing disruption due to the unprecedented conditions surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and thus the Company would be unable to timely review and prepare the Company’s financial statements for the 2019 fiscal year. Consistent with the Company’s statements in the Form 8-K, the Company was unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K on or before March 30, 2020 because it was unable to timely review and prepare the Company’s financial statements for the 2019 fiscal year as a result of the disruptions of the Company’s business operations caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. On May 14, 2020, the Company filed a “Notification of Late Filing” on Form 12b-25 pursuant to Rule 12b-25 of the Exchange Act to further delay the filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

 

In accordance with Rules 12b-15 and 13a-14 under the Exchange Act, the Company has also amended Part IV, Item 15 to include currently dated certifications pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 from the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer. Because no financial statements have been included in this Amendment, and this Amendment does not contain or amend any disclosure with respect to Items 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K, paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 of the certifications have been omitted. Similarly, because no financial statements have been included in this Amendment, certifications pursuant to Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 have been omitted.

 

Except as described above, this Amendment does not amend, modify or update the information in, or exhibits to, the Original Report, and the Company has not updated disclosures included therein to reflect any subsequent developments or events. This Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original Report and with our other filings made with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Original Report.

(a)(3) The following exhibits are filed with this Amendment:

 

Exhibit Number   Description
     
31.1*   Certification of Principal Executive Officer pursuant to Section 302

* Filed herewith.
