Item 8.01 Other Events.

On March 4, 2020, pursuant to Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Order Release No. 34-99318 (the “Order”) granting exemptions to registrants subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act Section 13(a) or 15(d) due to circumstances related to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Pursuant to the Order, Glory Star New Media Group Holdings Limited (the “Company”) states the following:

Due to circumstances related to COVID-19, the Company is relying on the Order with respect to the Company’s (i) Form 10-K (“Form 10-K”) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, and (ii) the amendment to the Current Report on Form 8-K (“Super 8-K Amendment”) filed with the SEC on February 21, 2020, and as amended on February 28, 2020. Absent the Order, the Form 10-K and the Super 8-K Amendment are both due on March 16, 2020.

The Company’s headquarters and operations are located in Beijing, China. Due to the ongoing outbreak of the COVID-19, which was first reported on December 31, 2019 in Wuhan, China, the Chinese government initiated travel restrictions and mandatory quarantines to control the spread of COVID-19 within China. While some of these government restrictions and quarantines have relaxed in certain areas, the Company is taking pro-active measures to help protect its employees by implementing self-quarantine measures of at least 14 days for its staff that have traveled from other regions within China before they are allowed to report to the office. These actions taken by the Chinese government and the Company have impacted the daily operations of the Company and its ability to complete its financial data by on or before March 16, 2020. As a result, the Company is unable to timely file the Form 10-K and Super 8-K Amendment by March 16, 2020.

The Company’s business operations could be adversely affected by the effects of a widespread outbreak of contagious disease, including the recent outbreak of respiratory illness caused by a novel coronavirus known as COVID-19 which was first identified in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. The Company’s corporate headquarters and operations are located in Beijing, China, where any outbreak of contagious diseases and other adverse public health developments could be materially adverse on the Company’s business operations. In response to the highly contagious and sometimes fatal coronavirus inflicting thousands of people in China, the Chinese government has imposed travel restrictions and quarantines to help control the spread of COVID-19. In addition, substantially all of the users and third-party merchants for the Company’s e-Mall platform are located in China. The Company’s operations could be negatively affected if employees, users and third-party merchants are quarantined as a result of exposure to a contagious illness. If the COVID-19 continues to spread, the Chinese government may impose additional measures further restricting travel within and outside of China and also expanding the regions under mandatory quarantine. Similarly, the continued spread of COVID-19 globally could further adversely impact the Company’s operations and could have an adverse impact on the Company’s business and financial results.
