If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should be completed. (Check box if appropriate)

 

☐		(a)		The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense;
		(b)		The subject annual report, semi-annual 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
		(c)		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.

Quantum Corporation (the “Company”) has determined that it is unable to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 (the “Form 10-Q”) by November 9, 2023, the original due date for such filing, without unreasonable effort or expense due to the circumstances described below.

The Company is conducting a re-evaluation of its application of standalone selling price under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606 and the financial re-evaluation process is taking longer than expected. The Company has not completed this evaluation and has no findings to report at this time.

As a result, the Company has been unable to complete its preparation and review of the Form 10-Q in time to file within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense. While the Company continues to work expeditiously to conclude this review and file the Form 10-Q as soon as practicable, the Company does not anticipate filing the Form 10-Q within the five-day extension provided by Rule 12b-25(b). The Company will continue to devote the resources necessary to complete the Form 10-Q, as soon as practicable.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements:

This Form 12b-25 contains “forward-looking” statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements. The Company advises caution in reliance on forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation: statements related to the ongoing re-evaluation of certain accounting matters, including the timing and results of such re-evaluation; consequences and/or effects of the re-evaluation; whether such accounting re-evaluation will affect a significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year; and the Company’s plans, objectives and intentions, that are not historical facts generally. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by the forward-looking statement, including without limitation: the outcome of the pending re-evaluation of accounting matters and the possibility of adjustments, including material adjustments, to the Company’s financial statements as the review re-evaluation progresses; the discovery of additional and unanticipated information during the re-evaluation; and the application of accounting or tax principles in an unanticipated manner. See also other risks that are described in “Risk Factors” in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, and any subsequent reports filed with the SEC. All forward-looking statements in this Form 12b-25 are based on information available to the Company as of the date of this filing. The Company expressly disclaims any obligation to update or alter its forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.
