SQN Alternative Investment Fund III, L.P. (the “Company”) is furnishing this Current Report on Form 8-K to indicate its reliance on the Order in connection with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 as a result of the circumstances set forth below.

A significant portion of the Company’s business operations are located in the United States and more specifically New York City including certain of its key personnel responsible for assisting the Company in the preparation of its financial statements. As a result of the travel and work restrictions stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company is unable to obtain financial records that it needs from its USA & New York based operations to permit the Company to file a timely and accurate Annual Report on Form 10-K for its year ended December 31, 2019 by the prescribed date without undue hardship and expense to the Company.

Accordingly, in reliance upon the Order, the Company expects to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K approximately 45 days after March 30, 2020.
