PART III - NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, N-SAR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
Lifecore Biomedical, Inc. (the “Company”) could not complete the filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended August 27, 2023 (the “First Quarter Form 10-Q”), as it continues to finalize the compiling and analyzing of supporting documentation related to the accounting for certain non-routine corporate transactions occurring during the fourth quarter 2023 and the preparation and review processes in support of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 28, 2023 (the “2023 Form 10-K”), which delay could not be eliminated by the Company without unreasonable effort and expense. The Company does not expect to file the First Quarter Form 10-Q on or before the expiration of the five calendar day extension period provided in Rule 12b-25 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company plans to file First Quarter Form 10-Q as soon as practicable following the completion and filing of the 2023 Form 10-K.
