Repligen Corporation (the “Company”) intends to file its Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission as soon as practicable, but no later than March 17, 2015. The Company moved to a Large Accelerator Filer (LAF) for the first time in 2015 and is unable to meet the LAF due date of March 2, 2015 without unreasonable effort and expense, due primarily to the ongoing integration of the business of Refine Technology, LLC, which it acquired in June 2014, into its facilities and financial systems. The Company requires the additional time to finalize its financial statements for fiscal year 2014.
