 (b)

 (c)

 

 




(a)

 




The reason described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense;

 

 

 

 

The subject annual report, semiannual report, transition report on Form 10-K, Form 20-F, Form 11-K, Form N-CEN, or Form N-CSR, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly report or transition report on Form 10-Q or subject distribution report on Form 10-D, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date; and

 

 

 

 

The accountant’s statement or other exhibit required by Rule 12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable.

 

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.

Formula Systems (1985) Ltd. (“Formula”) is the parent company and affiliate of several companies whose securities are publicly traded and which therefore prepare and file publicly their annual consolidated financial statements. In order to prepare and finalize its own consolidated financial statements, Formula needs to first review and compile final financial information received from those subsidiaries and affiliates. One such subsidiary, Magic Software Enterprises Ltd (“Magic Software”), has informed Formula and filed publicly a notification of late filing on Form 12b-25, in which it has estimated that it will file its annual report on Form 20-F containing its audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 by May 17, 2021.   .

Given the reliance of Formula on the final consolidated financial statements of Magic Software for purposes of preparing its own consolidated financial statements, the delay for Magic Software has significantly impacted Formula’s ability to meet the filing deadline of April 30, 2021.

Due to the foregoing, Formula is unable to file, without unreasonable effort or expense, its annual report by the prescribed due date of April 30, 2021. Formula plans to file its annual report within the prescribed extension period allotted under Rule 12b-25(b), by May 17, 2021 (the first business day after May 15, 2021, which is a Saturday).
