PART III — NARRATIVE

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

SCYNEXIS, Inc. (the “Company”) was unable to complete its report on Form 10-Q for the second quarter of 2015 (the “Quarterly Report”) prior to the filing deadline for the Quarterly Report on August 14, 2015, as the result several key events, as follows:

As previously reported on the Company’s current report on Form 8-K, dated July 23, 2015, in connection with the divestiture of its services business (the “Services Business”), the divestiture resulted in a transition of employees from the Company, including former employees who had previously participated in the preparation of the Company’s Quarterly Report;

The accounting treatment of the divestiture of the Services Business, including resolution of the appropriate accounting and reporting treatment of related exit costs, associated impairment charge and classification as held for sale and reporting as discontinued operations, resulted in additional complexity related to the preparation of the Company’s financial reports for the Quarterly Report; and

In connection with the Company’s announced relocation of its corporate offices to Jersey City, New Jersey, the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer, Charles F. Osborne, Jr., resigned from the Company effective June 30, 2015. His successor, Jonathan Sears Woodall, joined the Company as Interim Chief Financial Officer (i.e., Principal Financial and Accounting Officer) on July 22, 2015, further compressing the Company’s quarterly reporting process.

The Company intends to file the Quarterly Report as soon as practicable, and expects to do so on or before the fifth calendar day following the due date of the Quarterly Report.

The Company expects to report the Services Business as held for sale and in discontinued operations in its unaudited interim financial statements as of and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.
