Item 8.01. Other Events.

 

On March 18, 2019, GSV Capital Corp. (the “Company”) announced that it would not be able to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 (the “Form 10-K”) by the filing deadline because the Company’s independent directors retained independent counsel to conduct a review of certain operational and administrative activities. At that time, the Company expected to be able to file the Form 10-K on or before April 2, 2019, which is the deadline for filing the Form 10-K prescribed by Rule 12b-25 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. However, the internal review is not yet complete and, as a result, the Company will not be able to file the Form 10-K by April 2, 2019.

 

The Company remains supportive of, and has cooperated fully with, the internal review and the independent counsel. While the exact date on which the internal review will be complete is uncertain, the Company expects that it should be complete within two weeks. Importantly, the Company does not expect the internal review to result in any change to the Company’s financial statements or results of operations that were reported in its earnings release on March 14, 2019.

 

The information disclosed under this Item 8.01 is being “furnished” and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise. The information in this Item 8.01 shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or into any filing or other document pursuant to the Exchange Act, except as otherwise expressly stated in any such filing.
