PART III – NARRATIVE

(Attach extra Sheets if Needed)

Medley LLC (“Medley LLC” or the “Company”) is unable to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2021 (the “first quarter 2021 Form 10-Q”) within the time period prescribed for such report without unreasonable effort or expense, for the reasons set forth below.

As previously reported, on March 7, 2021 (the “Petition Date”), Medley LLC commenced a voluntary case under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Medley LLC Chapter 11 Case”). The Company is working diligently on the first quarter 2021 Form 10-Q; however, because of other significant demands associated with the Medley LLC Chapter 11 Case, additional time is necessary to prepare the financial statements and other disclosures required in the report.

Additionally, the Company has experienced further delays in connection with the preparation of its first quarter 2021 Form 10-Q as a result of the process of deconsolidating its financial statements from those of its historic parent (for accounting purposes) as a result of the pending bankruptcy proceedings. The Company has historically been treated as a consolidated subsidiary of Medley Management Inc. (“MDLY”). Under applicable accounting standards and guidance, bankruptcy is a condition which can preclude consolidation of a subsidiary as control rests with the bankruptcy court, rather than with the majority owner. As a result of the pending bankruptcy proceedings associated with the Medley LLC Chapter 11 Case, MDLY has analyzed and evaluated the appropriate accounting treatment of its investment in the Company and has concluded that the Company should be deconsolidated from MDLY’s financial statements as of the Petition Date, with the deconsolidation presented in MDLY’s financial statements commencing with MDLY’s interim financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. Simultaneously with the Company’s filing of this Form 12b-25, MDLY, which is also an Exchange Act reporting company, is filing a Form 12b-25 Notification of Late Filing regarding the delayed filing of MDLY’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for its first fiscal quarter of 2021.

As described above, the Company’s first quarter 2021 Form 10-Q cannot be timely filed because of the significant demands associated with the Medley LLC Chapter 11 Case and significant work in connection with the deconsolidation (for accounting purposes) of the Company’s financial statements from those of its historic parent MDLY; as a result, additional time is necessary to finalize the accounting and associated review relating to the deconsolidation, and to prepare the financial statements and other disclosures required in the report. As a result, the Company is unable to file the first quarter 2021 Form 10-Q by the prescribed filing date without unreasonable effort or expense. The Company continues to dedicate significant resources to the first quarter 2021 Form 10-Q, and currently expects to timely file the first quarter 2021 Form 10-Q within the 5 calendar day extension period afforded by Rule 12b-25 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
