Lakeland Industries delays filing of annual 10-K report

In a regulatory filing, Lakeland Industries (LAKE) reported that the company was unable, without unreasonable effort or expense, to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025 with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or prior to the 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time deadline on the prescribed due date of April 16. “The company encountered delays in compiling and reviewing certain information included in the Form 10-K. Such review procedures and a final draft of the Form 10-K, including all required management and independent audit reports and opinions, were not finalized until the afternoon of April 16, 2025, which resulted in the company’s Form 10-K not being accepted until after the SEC’s daily filing cutoff time on April 16, 2025. The company’s Form 10-K was accepted on April 16, 2025, the original filing deadline, well within the extension period of 15 calendar days following the prescribed due date afforded by Rule 12b-25 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,” the filing noted.
