Fenix Parts Announces Form 10-K Filing Extension

WESTCHESTER, Ill., April 03, 2017 -- Fenix Parts, Inc. (Nasdaq:FENX), a leading recycler and reseller of original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) automotive products, today announced that it has filed a Form 12b-25 Notification of Late Filing for its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The Form 12b-25 will allow the Company an additional 15 calendar days to file the Form 10-K, resulting in an extended filing deadline of April 15, 2017. The Company does not expect to file its Form 10-K within the 15-calendar day extension and, therefore, expects to receive a non-compliance notice from Nasdaq stating that the Company is not in compliance with its Form 10-K filing requirement following the 15-calendar day extension. The delay in the Company’s filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K is attributable in large part to a delayed start in the year-end financial reporting and related audit field work, following the Company's recent submission of its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended September 30, 2016 and June 30, 2016, due to the July 2016 change in auditors, the complexity of accounting for the Company’s multiple business combinations and additional procedures on purchase accounting and inventory.
