LOS ANGELES, CA, March 31, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — via NEWMEDIAWIRE – Agritek Holdings, Inc. (AGTK) www.AgritekHoldings.com, a fully integrated, active real estate investor and white label provider for popular hemp brands, today announced that the filing of the Company’s 10K annual report will be delayed beyond the required filing date of  April 15, 2020. The extension of time is necessary due to unanticipated delays in part caused by the recent Covid-19 virus, causing limited access to corporate offices, travel restrictions and inability to access corporate vendors and reports.On March 25, 2020, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) issued new orders extending the filing periods covered by its previously enacted conditional reporting relief for certain public company filing obligations under the federal securities laws, and also extended regulatory relief previously provided to funds and investment advisers whose operations may be affected by COVID-19.Relief for Public Companies The March 25th order (the “Order”) provides that, subject to certain conditions, public companies subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), as amended, will have a 45-day extension to file certain disclosure reports (including annual reports and quarterly reports) that would otherwise have been due within the period from and including March 1, 2020 to July 1, 2020.  The conditions specified by the SEC include, but are not limited to, the company’s furnishing a Form 8-K (or a Form 6-K, if applicable) with the SEC by the original filing deadline of the report, stating, among other things, that it is relying on the Order and the reasons it could not file the report on a timely basis. The Company has filed its form 8K and Form NT in a timely matter last week.“We have every intention of filing our 10K Report to remain fully reporting in order to complete our uplisting on the OTCQB.
