PART III -- NARRATIVE

 

State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-CEN, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

 

Nexters Inc. (the “Company”) is filing this Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 with respect to its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “2022 20-F”). The 2022 20-F could not be filed within the prescribed time without unreasonable effort or expense. As disclosed on its Form 6-K filed on January 17, 2023, in light of geopolitical developments driven by the Russian military action in Ukraine, the Company dismissed its previous independent registered public accounting firm, JSC “Kept” (formerly JSC “KPMG”), Moscow, Russia, and engaged KPMG Certified Auditors S.A., Athens, Greece (“KPMG”), as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm, in each case effective as of January 11, 2023. Furthermore, in the interest of eliminating – to the maximum extent possible within the Company’s control – its exposure to country risks related to Russia, during the 2022 financial year, the Company disposed of its subsidiaries in Russia. As a result of the Company’s transition to a new independent registered public accounting firm as well as the accounting of disposition of the Russian subsidiaries, the Company requires additional time to compile and finalize its 2022 20-F. The Company is working diligently to complete and file its 2022 20-F as soon as practicable.

 

 

 

 

Forward Looking Statements

 

Certain statements contained herein may constitute “forward-looking statements” for purposes of the federal securities laws. Any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements.

 

The forward-looking statements contained herein are based on the Company’s current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on the Company. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the Company’s beliefs and expectations relating to the filing of the 2022 20-F and the results of the ongoing audit. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting the Company will be those that the Company has anticipated. Forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond the Company’s control) or other assumptions. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of the Company’s assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. An important factor that may cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, a material delay in the Company’s financial reporting, including the possibility that the Company will not be able to file its 2022 20-F within the fifteen-day extension permitted by the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.
