Form 12B-25

Part III - Narrative

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. Akumin Inc. (the “Company”) has determined that it is unable, without unreasonable effort or expense, to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 (the “Form 10-Q”) by the prescribed due date for the reasons further described below. As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 16, 2023, the Company determined on October 11, 2023 that its information technology network was affected by ransomware. Upon becoming aware, the Company took quick action to secure its networks, including shutting down systems. As such, certain systems and functionalities used in financial reporting were not available for a period of time. As a result, the Company is unable to complete and file the Form 10-Q by the prescribed due date without unreasonable effort and expense. As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 2, 2023, the Company had then restored the majority of its systems. The Company intends to file the Form 10-Q as soon as practicable and currently anticipates filing the Form 10-Q on or before December 15, 2023; however, there can be no assurance with respect to the timing of completion of the filing. This Form 12b-25 includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended, including statements regarding the timing of the filing of the Form 10-Q. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, contained in this Form 12b-25 are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements contained in this Form 12b-25 may be identified by the use of words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “contemplate,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “seek,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “target,” “aim,” “should,” “will”, “would,” or the negative of these words or other similar expressions, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words. Forward-looking statements are based on the Company’s current expectations and are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Further, certain forward-looking statements are based on assumptions as to future events that may not prove to be accurate. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which are, in some cases, beyond the Company’s control and which could materially affect results. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following: additional information regarding the extent of the ransomware incident that the Company may uncover during its ongoing investigation; the Company’s ability to assess and remedy the incident; the Company’s ability to service its customers following the incident; the compromise or improper use of sensitive, proprietary, confidential financial, or personal data or information resulting in negative consequences such as fines, penalties, or loss of reputation, competitiveness or customers; incremental expenses associated with the Company’s on-going assessment of the incident; the nature and scope of any claims, litigation or regulatory proceedings that may be brought against the Company or other affected parties as a result of the incident; the availability of insurance coverage; other legal, reputational and financial risks resulting from this or other ransomware incidents and the potential impact of this incident on the Company’s revenues, operating expenses, and operating results; and the length and scope of disruptions to the Company’s business operations caused by the incident. A further description of the risks and uncertainties relating to the business of the Company is contained in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and Current Reports on Form 8-K, as well as any amendments thereto reflected in subsequent filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Forward-looking statements contained in this Form 12b-25 speak only as of the date hereof, and, except as required by law, the Company undertakes no duty or obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
