Item 8.01 Other Events.

Global Arena Holding, Inc. will be relying on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Order under Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Granting Exemptions From Specified Provisions of the Exchange Act and Certain Rules Thereunder dated March 4, 2020 (Release No. 34-88318) to delay the filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2020 (the “Report”) due to circumstances related to the coronavirus disease 2019.

The disruptions in transportation, staffing, and technology systems which have occurred over the last two months to both the Company and the Company’s professional advisors have resulted in limited support from the Company’s staff and professional advisors. This has, in turn, delayed the Company’s ability to complete its financial statements, obtain the required auditor review and prepare the Report. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company expects to file the Report no later than June 28, 2020 (which is 45 days from the Report’s original filing deadline of May 14, 2020).

SIGNATURES

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this Current Report on Form 8-K to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
