PART III — NARRATIVE

Stericycle, Inc. (the “Company”) is unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 (the “Form 10-K”) within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense. The Company has not yet completed its assessment of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015, in part due to its evaluation of certain control deficiencies associated with PSC Environmental Services, LLC which the Company acquired in April 2014 and which was first included in the Company’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting in 2015. Due to its recent acquisition of Shred-it International ULC and the need to conclude other necessary review procedures, the Company also requires additional time to complete the documentation, audit and evaluation of its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015. The Company currently anticipates filing the Form 10-K within the 15-day extension period provided by Rule 12b-25.
