As previously disclosed, Global Power Equipment Group Inc. (the “Company”) was engaged in an internal review of its historical financial statements, which resulted in a delay in the filing of the Company’s 2015 financial results.  On March 15, 2017, the Company filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) an Annual Report on Form 10-K that included restated historical financial information and the Company’s 2015 annual and quarterly financial information (the “2015 10-K”). However, the time required to conduct the internal review and to prepare, audit, and file the comprehensive 2015 10-K resulted in a delay in the filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its 2016 fiscal year (the “2016 10-K”), which included the Company’s annual and quarterly results for its 2016 fiscal year, and a subsequent delay in the filing of the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for its fiscal quarters ended April 2, 2017 (the “First Quarter 10-Q”), July 2, 2017 (the “Second Quarter 10-Q”), and October 1, 2017 (the “Third Quarter 10-Q” and, together with the First Quarter 10-Q and Second Quarter 10-Q, the “2017 Reports”). The Company filed the comprehensive 2016 10-K with the SEC on September 12, 2017. It is working to complete the 2017 Reports and will file each of them as soon as practicable.
