Timing of Filing of Annual Report on Form 20-F for the Year ended December 31, 2019
Luckin Coffee Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: LK) is furnishing this current report on Form 6-K to indicate its reliance on the order (Release No. 34-88465) (the “Order”) issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 25, 2020 providing conditional relief to public companies that are unable to meet a filing deadline as a result of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) outbreak.
The Company’s business, operating subsidiaries and employees are located in China, where the Chinese government has imposed nationwide quarantine control and travel restrictions due to the COVID-19 outbreak, since January 2020. Due to these measures and restrictions, the Company has had limited access to its office buildings with certain employees required to complete 14-day quarantine periods before resuming on-site work. This has resulted in a significant delay in preparing the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. In addition, as previously disclosed, the Board of Directors of the Company has formed a Special Committee to oversee an internal investigation (the “Internal Investigation”). Due to the impact of the delayed financial statement preparation process caused by COVID-19 and the pendency of the Internal Investigation, the Company will not be able to file its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “Annual Report”) by April 30, 2020. The Company is working diligently to explore possible ways to file the Annual Report as soon as possible and intends to file the Annual Report within the available extension period.
When the Company files the Annual Report, the Company plans to include the following risk factor, as may be expanded or revised as the Company determines appropriate, to reflect the impact of COVID-19 on its business:
We face risks related to natural disasters, health epidemics and other calamities, which could significantly disrupt our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We are vulnerable to natural disasters, health epidemics, and other calamities. Any of such occurrences could cause severe disruption to the daily operations of us, and may even require a temporary closure of facilities and logistics delivery networks, which may disrupt our business operations and adversely affect our results of operations. In addition, our results of operations could be adversely affected to the extent that any of these catastrophic events harm the Chinese economy in general.
In particular, our operations had been adversely affected by the novel coronavirus outbreak, or COVID-19, in China. The outbreak of COVID-19 had impacts on our business in various aspects. For example, in accordance with recommended and mandated restrictions by relevant government and public health officials in light of the COVID-19 outbreak, the Company began closing a significant majority of its stores since late-January 2020, and the daily operation of our offices was also affected since we had limited access to our facilities. We have been taking and will continue to take measures to reduce the adverse impacts caused by the outbreak, including requiring our employees to work remotely and resuming the operation of our stores upon the lifting of certain restrictions imposed by relevant government and public health officials since mid-February 2020. As of March 31, 2020, approximately 85% of our self-operated stores had reopened and returned to normal operation. The extent to which the COVID-19 impacts our results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the COVID-19 and the actions to contain the COVID-19 or treat its impact, among others.
