Rule 12b-25 regulatory

"could not be filed within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort"

Rule 12b-25 is an SEC filing provision that lets a company notify regulators and the public that it cannot file a required periodic report (like a quarterly or annual report) on time and explains the reason for the delay. For investors, the notice is a formal heads-up that financial information will arrive late—similar to a company calling to say it will be late turning in homework—so it signals increased uncertainty and may affect trading and risk assessments until the filing is available.

FAQ

Why did OWPC file Form 12b-25 instead of the Form 10-K?

Because the audit for the year ended December 31, 2025 was not finished by the deadline. The company states the audit was incomplete as of the close of business on March 31, 2026, prompting the late-filing notification under Rule 12b-25.

Does the Form 12b-25 tell when OWPC will file the delayed 10-K?

The notice indicates reliance on Rule 12b-25 relief but does not provide a specific filing date. It states the company could not complete the audit by March 31, 2026 and expects to use the allowance under the rule.

Who is the contact for questions about OWPC's late filing?

The company lists Isiah L. Thomas, III, Chief Executive Officer as the contact. The telephone number provided is 800-605-3210 for inquiries related to the notification.

Will OWPC disclose material changes in results in the delayed 10-K?

The Form 12b-25 asks whether a significant change is anticipated; the provided excerpt marks the corresponding question but does not state an anticipated change. Any material changes would appear in the filed Form 10-K.
