WESTCHESTER, Ill., Aug. 16, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fenix Parts, Inc. (Nasdaq: FENX ), a leading recycler and reseller of original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) automotive products, announced today that it has filed a Form 12b-25 Notification of Late Filing for its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The Form 12b-25 will allow the Company an additional five calendar days to file the Form 10-Q, resulting in an extended filing deadline of August 22, 2016. The extension is necessary due to the transition time necessitated by the Company’s recent change in its auditors. This delay could not have been eliminated by the Company without unreasonable effort and expense.
In addition, the Company was not in compliance with a certain loan covenant in its credit facility and had not yet received a written waiver from the lender for such non-compliance as of the due date of the Form 10-Q. The Company has been in discussions with the lender with respect to the written waiver, which the Company expects to receive.
