PART III--NARRATIVE (Official Text) State below in reasonable detail the reasons why the Form 10-K, 11-K, 10-Q, N-SAR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period. (Attach extra sheets if needed) During 2005, primarily related to the potential sale of the PRG-Schultz International, Inc. (the "Company") during the latter part of 2004 and the first seven months of 2005, the Company experienced high levels of employee turnover in key management and staff positions, including certain key accounting and finance roles. As of December 31, 2005, approximately 35% of the Company's finance staff had been with the Company for less than six months. As is evident from the Current Reports on Form 8-K filed on February 6, 2006 and February 10, 2006, the Company's Chief Financial Officer and Controller have been in their current positions less than two months. Furthermore, as disclosed in the Company's Schedule TO filed on February 1, 2006, as amended, the Company is conducting an exchange offer to restructure its outstanding convertible notes and is negotiating a new senior credit facility to replace its existing senior debt. These transactions are ongoing and must close in March 2006, or the Company may be forced to seek protection from its creditors. These transactions have required a substantial portion of the time and expertise of the Company's financial and legal personnel. Based upon the foregoing, the Company is unable to complete its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort and expense. The Company will file its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 on or before March 31, 2006. PART IV--OTHER INFORMATION (Official Text) (1) Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this notification: Victor A. Allums (770) 779-6610 --------------------- --------------- ------------------------- (Name) (Area Code) (Telephone Number) (2) Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment 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). X Yes No ----- ----- (3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statement to be included in the subject report or portion thereof? X Yes No ----- ----- As previously reported in the Company's Form 8-K filed on March 9, 2006, the Company anticipates a significantly greater net loss for 2005 compared to that incurred in 2004. This was primarily due to impairment charges of $170.4 million, restructuring charges of $11.6 million, a charge of $3.9 million for the severance costs related to the departure of the Company's former Chairman and CEO, John Cook, and its former Vice Chairman, Jack Toma, and continued declines in revenues from the Company's core accounts payable services business.
