On March 13, 2015, Princeton Capital Corporation (the “Registrant”) completed the acquisition of the investment portfolio and certain other assets of Capital Point Partners, L.P. and Capital Point Partners II, L.P. (the “Acquisition”). The Registrant’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 could not be filed within the prescribed time period due to delays experienced in finalizing the accounting for the Acquisition. On June 2, 2016, the Registrant filed its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2015.
On June 19, 2015, as previously disclosed, the Registrant dismissed Boulay PLLP as its independent registered audit firm and engaged Crowe Horwath LLP (“Crowe Horwath”) as its new independent registered audit firm, effective the same date. Crowe Horwath required additional time to conduct their review of the Acquisition. For these reasons the Registrant could not complete the filing of its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort and expense. On August 10, 2016, the Registrant filed its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2015.
On or about September 9, 2015, Capital Link Fund I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, CT Horizon Legacy Fund, LP, a Delaware limited partnership, Capital Point Partners, LP, a Delaware limited partnership, and Sema4, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation (collectively, the “Plaintiffs”) filed a lawsuit, captioned Capital Link Fund I, LLC, et al. v. Capital Point Management, LP, et al., C.A. No. 11483-VCN (the “Litigation”), in the Delaware Court of Chancery against certain defendants including the Registrant, seeking, among other things, to rescind the transfer of certain assets to the Registrant that were transferred pursuant to the Acquisition.
On October 19, 2015, as previously disclosed, Crowe Horwath resigned as the Registrant’s independent public accounting firm, effective the same date. The Registrant’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 could not be filed within the prescribed time period due to delays experienced in defending itself in the Litigation and the resignation of Crowe Horwath as the Registrant’s independent public accounting firm. On September 19, 2016, the Registrant filed its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2015.
On January 19, 2016, as previously disclosed, the Plaintiffs and certain settling defendants, including the Registrant, entered into a Settlement Agreement in regards to the Litigation.

For these reasons, the Registrant could not complete the filing of its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the periods ended September 30, 2016, March 31, 2017, and June 30, 2017 or the Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 without unreasonable effort and expense.
