State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

 

Eloxx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) will not be able to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Form 10-K”) within the prescribed time period because the Company is currently unable to allocate the financial resources necessary to engage its independent public accounting firm to perform an audit of the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Financial Statements”) to be included in the Form 10-K. The Company cannot predict at this time if and when the audit of the 2023 Financial Statements will be completed and if and when it will file the Form 10-K.

 

PART IV — OTHER INFORMATION

 

(1)	Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this notification
	Sumit Aggarwal		781		577-5300
	(Name)		(Area Code)		(Telephone Number)
(2)	Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If answer is no, identify report(s).
					x Yes    ¨ No
(3)	Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?
					x Yes    ¨ No

 

 

If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.

 

Based on preliminary information, the Company expects to report a net loss of $18.1 million and an accumulated deficit of $292.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared to a net loss of $36.1 million and an accumulated deficit of $274.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The Company expects to report that it had cash and cash equivalents of $1.1 million as of December 31, 2023, as compared to cash and cash equivalents of $19.2 million as of December 31, 2022.

 

Management anticipates that it will be disclosing in the Form 10-K substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern as the Company does not currently have sufficient cash resources to support its planned operations for at least 12 months from the expected issuance date of the 2023 Financial Statements contained in the Form 10-K.

 

The information above is preliminary and subject to change and does not present all information necessary for an understanding of the Company’s results of operations for these periods. The Company’s actual results may differ from the preliminary estimates above and are subject to the completion of the audit of the 2023 Financial Statements by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
