Orchard Supply Hardware Stores Corporation (the “Company”) has determined that it is unable to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Form 10-Q”) for the quarter ended May 4, 2013 in a timely manner and that it does not expect to be able to file the Form 10-Q within the five-day extension permitted by the rules of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). As reported in the Company’s Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 17, 2013, the Company and its subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware on June 17, 2013. Due to the demands associated with the bankruptcy filing and related activities, the Company has been unable to complete the preparation of its Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended May 4, 2013.

 

 

PART IV — OTHER INFORMATION

(Name)				(Area Code)				(Telephone Number)

 

(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).    x  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?    x  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.

The Company is currently unable to provide a reasonable estimate of its first quarter 2013 results of operations due to the Company’s focus on its ongoing bankruptcy reorganization proceedings and the proposed sale of substantially all of its assets to Lowes Companies, Inc. under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code. Accordingly, the Company cannot at this time estimate what significant changes will be reflected in its first quarter 2013 results of operations compared to its first quarter 2012 results of operations.
