		(b)		The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on Form 10-K, Form 20-F, Form 11-K, Form N-CEN or Form N-CSR, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly report or transition report on Form 10-Q or subject distribution report on Form 10-D, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date; and

PART III — NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-CEN, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

Landstar System, Inc. (“Landstar” or the “Company”) is unable to file its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 29, 2025 (the “Q1 2025 Form 10-Q”) by the prescribed date of May 8, 2025, without unreasonable effort and expense as explained below.

As previously disclosed in a Form 8-K filed on April 2, 2025, during the last week of Landstar’s 2025 first quarter, the Company identified a supply chain fraud that does not involve its core North American truckload services. The anticipated delay in filing the Q1 2025 Form 10-Q relates to the ongoing evaluation of certain accounting and internal control matters in connection with this previously referenced fraud matter. The Company expects to file the Q1 2025 Form 10-Q no later than May 13, 2025, the expiration date of the extension period.

PART IV — OTHER INFORMATION

(2)

Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If answer is no, identify report(s). Yes ☒ No ☐

(3)

Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof? Yes ☒ No ☐

If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.

As outlined above in Part III of this Form 12b-25, the Company has not completed the ongoing evaluation of certain accounting and internal control matters in connection with this previously referenced fraud matter. While investigation continues, this matter relates to the Company’s international freight forwarding operations, and the Company believes that this matter is limited to the operations of one specific independent commission sales agency. The adverse financial impact to Landstar as a result of the fraud, before taking into account the cost of legal and other professional fees or any potential insurance and other recoveries, is not expected to exceed $15 million of net income, or approximately $0.43 per share on an after-tax basis.
