Item 8.01. Other Events.

On March 4, 2020, pursuant to Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued Order Release No. 34-88318 (the "SEC Order") granting exemptions to registrants subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act Section 13(a) or 15(d) due to circumstances related to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Synergy CHC Corp. ("Synergy," "we," "us," "our" or the "Company") makes the following disclosure pursuant to the SEC Order.

The current outbreak of COVID-19 has posed a significant impact on the Company to file on a timely basis its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the "Annual Report") that is due on March 30, 2020 (the "Original Due Date"), and therefore the Company elected to rely on the conditional filing relief provided under the SEC Order.

The current outbreak of COVID-19 in the United States, which has accelerated in the several weeks prior to the date of this report, has resulted in the closing of our offices and has required our internal staff to work remotely. Moreover, similar social distancing measures were taken by both our outside accountants and our independent registered public accounting firm in order to protect the health of their employees. All of the foregoing has slowed the accounting and auditing work required to compile and audit our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 to be included the Annual Report. Accordingly, we have decided to rely on the SEC Order and endeavor to file the Annual Report no later than May 14, 2020, or within 45 days after the Original Due Date. The reason the Form 10-K cannot be filed timely does not relate to the inability of any person, other than the Company, to furnish any required opinion, report, or certification.

The Company's business operations could be adversely affected by the continued outbreak of COVID-19.

The adverse public health developments and economic effects of the outbreak in the United States, which have become more severe in the weeks prior to the date of this report, could adversely affect the Company's operations as a result of quarantines, facility closures and logistics restrictions in connection with the outbreak. More broadly, the outbreak could potentially lead to an economic downturn, which would likely decrease spending, adversely affecting our business, results of operations and financial condition. The Company cannot accurately predict the effect the COVID-19 outbreak will have on the Company.
