INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS REPORT ON FORM 6-K

On March 4, 2020, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) issued an order under Section 36 (Release No. 34-88318) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), granting exemptions from specified provisions of the Exchange Act and certain rules thereunder. On March 25, 2020, the order was modified and superseded by a new SEC order (Release No. 34-88465) (the “SEC Order”), which provides conditional relief to public companies that are unable to timely comply with their filing obligations as a result of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) outbreak. The SEC Order provides that a registrant subject to the reporting requirements of Exchange Act Section 13(a) or 15(d), and any person required to make any filings with respect to such registrant, is exempt from any requirement to file or furnish materials with the Commission under Exchange Act Sections 13(a), 13(f), 13(g), 14(a), 14(c), 14(f), 15(d) and Regulations 13A, Regulation 13D-G (except for those provisions mandating the filing of Schedule 13D or amendments to Schedule 13D), 14A, 14C and 15D, and Exchange Act Rules 13f-1, and 14f-1, as applicable, if certain conditions are satisfied.

Indonesia Energy Corporation Limited (the “Company”) is filing this Current Report on Form 6-K (this “Current Report”) to disclose that it will be relying on the SEC Order to delay the filing of its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “Annual Report”) due to the circumstances related to COVID-19. In particular, COVID-19 has caused severe disruptions in travel and transportation within Indonesia and entering and exiting Indonesia, causing limited access to the Company’s facilities and limited support from its staff. This has, in turn, delayed the Company’s ability to complete its review and prepare the Annual Report. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company expects to file the Annual Report no later than June 14, 2020 (which is 45 days from the Annual Report’s original filing deadline of April 30, 2020).

In light of the COVID-19 outbreak, we will be including the following risk factor in the Annual Report once filed.

We are susceptible to general economic conditions, natural catastrophic events and public health crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic, any which could adversely affect our operating results.

Our results of operations could be adversely affected by general conditions in the global economy, including conditions that are outside of our control, such as the impact of health and safety concerns from the current worldwide COVID-19 pandemic. Governments, in affected countries, including those of the United States and Indonesia, have imposed travel bans, quarantines and other emergency public health measures. Those measures, the duration of which is uncertain and which may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, may continue and increase depending on developments in the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to the extended lock-down and self-quarantine policies in Indonesia, we have experienced significant business disruptions. Many of our employees are subject to quarantining policies implemented by the local governments and could not return to work. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and will include emerging information concerning the severity of the coronavirus and the actions taken by governments and private businesses to attempt to contain the pandmic, but is likely to result in a material impact on our business operations at least for the near term.
