If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should be completed. (Check box, if appropriate)

 

[X] (a) The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense;
   
(b) The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on Form 10-K, Form 20-F, 11-K , Form N-SAR, 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
   
(c) The accountant’s statement or other exhibit required by Rule 12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable.

 

Part III - Narrative

 

State below in reasonable detail the reasons why the Form 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof could not be filed within the prescribed time period. (Attach extra sheets if needed)

 

Chanticleer Holdings, Inc. (the “Registrant”) was unable, without unreasonable effort or expense, to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2014 (the “Annual Report”) by the March 31, 2015 filing date applicable to smaller reporting companies due to a delay experienced by the Registrant in completing its financial statements and other disclosures in the Annual Report. As a result, the Registrant is still in the process of compiling required information to complete the Annual Report and its independent registered public accounting firm requires additional time to complete its review of the financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2014 to be incorporated in the Annual Report. The Registrant anticipates that it will file the Annual Report no later than the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed filing date.
