&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The
 reason described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense;

**PART III - NARRATIVE**

State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

Brand Engagement Network Inc. (the "Registrant") is unable, without unreasonable effort or expense, to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q ("Quarterly Report") for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 by the prescribed due date. The Registrant has determined that it is unable to file its Quarterly Report within the prescribed time period because the Registrant is in the process of reviewing and finalizing the financial and other information for its Quarterly Report, and does not expect the report will be finalized for filing by the prescribed due date without unreasonable effort or expense. The Registrant needs additional time to complete its financial statements, as well as to have the Quarterly Report reviewed by its accountants and attorneys. In accordance with Rule 12b-25 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Registrant will file its Quarterly Report no later than the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date.

 Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s)
 been filed? If answer is no, identify report(s). Yes ☒ No ☐

 it anticipated that any significant change in results of operation for the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be
