Other Events

Actinium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) will be relying on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Order under Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Modifying Exemptions From the Reporting and Proxy Delivery Requirements for Public Companies, dated March 25, 2020 (Release No. 34-88465) (the “Order”) to delay the filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 (the “Report”) due to the circumstances related to COVID-19. In particular, COVID-19 has caused severe disruptions in transportation and limited access to the Company’s facility, resulting in limited support from its staff and professional advisors. The small size of the Company’s accounting staff and the additional responsibilities emanating from COVID-19 have presented difficulties to the Company’s ability to complete its Report, resulting in its delay. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company expects to file the Report no later than June 29, 2020 (which is 45 days from the Report’s original filing deadline of May 15, 2020) and in compliance with the exemptions granted under the Order.

In light of the continuing developments related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company included a Risk Factor in the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2019 on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 8, 2020, which is incorporated herein by reference.
