PART III -- NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail why the Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR or the transition report portion thereof could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
Celularity Inc. (the “Company”) will be unable to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 (the “Q3 2024 Form 10-Q”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) within the prescribed time period. Constraints in the Company’s liquidity position and financial accounting staffing levels caused a delay in the financial close and reporting process and preparation of the consolidated financial statements. Additionally, on August 2, 2024, the Company engaged a new independent registered public accounting firm to audit its consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2024, which resulted in further delays. Despite working diligently in an effort to timely file the Q3 2024 Form 10-Q, the Company has been unable to complete all work necessary to timely file the Q3 2024 Form 10-Q. As of the date of this Notification of Late Filing (Form 12b-25), the Company has not yet completed the preparation of the financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.
The Company is working diligently and plans to file the Q3 2024 Form 10-Q with the SEC as soon as practicable.
