Item 8.01 – Other Events

Relying on the SEC Order for Reporting Relief

PrimeEnergy Resources Corporation, makes the following disclosure pursuant to an order issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 4, 2020, as modified and superseded by a new SEC order issued on March 25, 2020, providing conditional relief to public companies that are unable to timely comply with their filing obligations as a result of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak (the “SEC Order”).

The current outbreak of COVID-19 has posed a significant impact on the Company’s ability to file on a timely basis its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 (the “Quarterly Report”) that is due May 15, 2020 (the “Original Due Date”), and therefore the Company elected to rely on the conditional filing relief provided under the SEC Order.

The current outbreak of the COVID-19 novel coronavirus, has caused a delay in the Company’s ability to consolidate and analyze its financial statements for the preparation of its quarterly report on Form 10-Q. The sudden mandated closing of schools in the state of Texas as well as employees with health concerns resulted in an unplanned disruption of personnel available. We have decided to rely on the SEC Order and endeavor to file the Quarterly Report no later than June 29, 2020, or within 45 days after the Original Due Date.

COVID-19 Risk Factor

The current outbreak of COVID-19 has caused an adverse effect on our business operations. The Company has already experienced restrictions on employees to travel, temporary closures of locations, state mandated closing of schools as well as personnel shortage. In addition, COVID-19 has resulted in a widespread health crisis that has adversely affected the economies of the world and therefore is having a negative effect on oil prices. The management has been closely monitoring the impact caused by COVID-19 and we will continue to operate our business as steadily and safely as we can.
