If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should be completed. (Check box if appropriate)

---

| ☐ | (b) | The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on Form 10-K, Form 20-F, Form 11-K, Form N-CEN or Form N-CSR, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly report of transition report on Form 10-Q or subject distribution report on Form 10-D, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed date; and |

**PART III — NARRATIVE** 

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

Tattooed Chef, Inc. (the "Company") has determined that it is unable, without unreasonable effort or expense, to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 (the "Form 10-K") by the prescribed due date for the reasons described below.

During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company implemented a new enterprise resource planning ("ERP") system at one of the Company's major subsidiaries, New Mexico Food Distributors, Inc., which resulted in delays with respect to the Company's normal financial closing process including the Company's financial statement preparation and review processes.

As previously disclosed, the Company's accounting department had been fully occupied with restating its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for quarters ended March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022, and its audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the "Restatement Periods"). The Company filed the amended Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q/A and its Annual Report on Form 10-K/A with respect to the Restatement Periods on November 17, 2022, which resulted in delays in completing the Company's year-end closing and financial reporting process.

Therefore, the Company will be unable to provide complete financial results for the year ended December 31, 2022 and file the Form 10-K by the required due date of March 16, 2023 without unreasonable effort and expense. The Company is working diligently and expects to file the Form 10-K upon completion of the Company's financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, which is not currently expected to be within the extended time period permitted by Rule 12b-25.

---

The Company expects to report revenue of approximately $234 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 as a result of our year-over-year growth. Cost of goods sold for the year ended December 31, 2022 increased, which was primarily driven by higher material cost, labor and freight costs. Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022 increased as a result of a large increase in sales and marketing expenses, increases in professional expenses, stock compensation expenses and labor expenses. The Company is evaluating the impact from potential goodwill impairment with a third party valuation team and is unable to provide a reasonable estimate of net loss at this moment. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company expects to report net cash used in operating activities of approximately $82 million. As of December 31, 2022, the Company expects to report cash of approximately $6 million.

------

The cash outflow during 2022 was primarily attributable to continued losses from operating activities, capital expenditures and marketing and promotional spend to raise our brand awareness. While the Company does not expect any significant changes to the aforementioned preliminary unaudited financial information, such preliminary financial information remains subject to change pending the completion of the Company's financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022.
