Item 8.01. Other Events.

The impact caused by the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic has led to disruptions in the day-to-day activities for Net 1 UEPS Technologies, Inc. ("we," "our," "us" or the "Company"), including reducing our staffing levels and limiting our access to facilities and certain technology systems that we rely on to timely prepare our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 (the "Quarterly Report"). As a result, we anticipate that additional time will be required in order to develop and process our financial information as well as prepare the required disclosures related to the impact of COVID-19. These circumstances will delay our ability to complete our Quarterly Report. As a result, we will be relying on the Securities and Exchange Commission's Orders under Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, dated March 4, 2020 and March 25, 2020 (Release Nos. 34-88318 and 34-88465) to delay the filing of our Quarterly Report. We expect to file our Quarterly Report on or about May 22, 2020 (but in any event no later than June 25, 2020, which is 45 days from the Quarterly Report's original filing deadline of May 11, 2020).

SIGNATURES

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
