As previously reported, during July 2024, David Lazar, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors, consummated a transaction pursuant to which he sold 550,000 shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series E Stock”) of OpGen, Inc. (the “Company”) together with Mr. Lazar’s rights to purchase an additional 2,450,000 shares of Series E Stock under that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated March 25, 2024, between Mr. Lazar and the Company to AEI Capital Ltd. In connection with the consummation of the transaction, the Company experienced a complete change in the composition of its audit committee. Accordingly, the Company is unable to timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2024 (the “Form 10-Q”), as the new audit committee requires additional time to review the Form 10-Q with management and the Company’s independent auditors. The registrant is unable to eliminate the need for additional time without unreasonable effort or expense.

(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 the answer is no, identify report(s). ☒ 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? ☒ 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.

 

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for such period indicated approximately $736 thousand in revenues and a net loss of approximately $5.8 million. Due to the insolvency filings of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries in November 2023, the Company’s Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2024 will not include the operating activity for these entities, which was included in the 2023 filing for the same period. In addition, the Company shifted its focus at the end of 2023 and into 2024 toward pursuing a strategic transaction, so domestic operations, and as a result, revenues and expenditures, declined. Given these factors, the Company’s preliminary statement of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2024 shows revenues of approximately $28 thousand and net loss of approximately $1.6 million. These preliminary figures for the three months ended June 30, 2024 are subject to change and will be reviewed by the Company’s independent auditor, but these are our estimated figures at this time.
