Item 8.01 Other Events.

Rebel Group, Inc. (the "Company") is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K in compliance with and in reliance upon the SEC Order issued pursuant to Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, granting Exemptions from Specified Provisions of the Exchange Act and Certain Rules thereunder (SEC Release No. 34-88465 on March 25, 2020) (the "Relief Order"). Set forth below are the reasons for the delays in the completion of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 (the "Annual Report"), estimated filing dates of the Annual Report, and new CODID-19 related risk disclosure.

The Company previously announced that it expected to file its Annual Report within the extension period afforded by SEC Rule 12b-25. As a result of the increasing challenges associated with the COVID-19 outbreak, the Company does not expect to file the Annual Report until after such extension period. The Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K today which outlines the Company's reliance on the relief from the original filing deadline provided by the SEC, and the Annual Report filing extension permitted thereunder. The extension of time is necessary due to unanticipated delays being experienced by the Company in providing the information associated with the audit of the Company's financial statements. Considering the lack of time for the compilation, attesting and review of the information required to be presented and the importance of markets and investors receiving materially accurate information in the Annual Report, the Company expects to file the Annual Report no later than May 14, 2020.





Additional Risk Factor

Potential Impact of the COVID-19 Outbreak. Beginning in late 2019, there were reports of the COVID-19 (coronavirus) outbreak originating in China, prompting government-imposed quarantines, cessation of certain travel and business closures. It is presently unknown whether and to what extent the Company's operations may be affected if the pandemic persists for an extended period of time. It is also possible that the outbreak will cause additional disruptions to the Company's operations and prospects. The Company may incur significant delays, reductions in revenue and increases in expenses relating to such events outside of its control. The outbreak precludes customers and potential customers from attending the Company events, which adversely affects the Company's ability to generate new revenue. Moreover, the Company expects that the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the United States and world economies will have a material adverse affect on the demand for its event offerings. Any and all of the foregoing could have a material adverse impact on its business, operating results and financial condition. Further, there can be no assurance that the Company would be able to secure additional financing in the future in the event that it requires additional capital. We currently believe that our financial resources will be adequate to see us through the outbreak. However, in the event that we do need to raise capital in the future, the outbreak-related instability in the securities markets could adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital.
