As a result of fourth quarter of 2016 changes to our tax structure and to our reportable segments and the impact on our accounting and financial presentation, Heidrick & Struggles International, Inc. (the “Company”) has determined it will need additional time to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 (the “Annual Report”). The Company anticipates that it will file the Annual Report no later than March 31, 2017, the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed filing date.

If the answer is no, identify report(s).
(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 statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?
If so: attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.
The Company reported in a press release dated February 27, 2017, that the Company expects to report revenue growth of approximately 9.6% for fiscal 2016 as compared to fiscal 2015, and to report positive earnings per share for the full year and fourth quarter ending December 31, 2016.
Certain matters discussed in this notification may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including, but not limited to, the Company’s expected revenue and earnings per share for the full fiscal year and fourth quarter ended December 31, 2016. These statements are being made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual results and the timing of certain events may differ materially from those indicated by such forward looking statements due to a variety of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Company’s ability to control, including such risks and uncertainties outlined in the Company’s periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These statements are made as of the date of this notification, and the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
