PART III — NARRATIVE   State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q,  10-D, N-CEN, N-CSR, or the transition report  or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.   PhaseBio Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Registrant”) is unable to file, without unreasonable effort or expense, its  Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 within the prescribed time  period. As previously disclosed, on October 23, 2022, the Registrant filed a voluntary petition for relief under  Chapter 11 of Title 11 (“Chapter 11”) of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court  for the District of Delaware, thereby commencing a Chapter 11 case for the Registrant (Case No. 22-10995- LSS). Due to the considerable time and resources the Registrant’s management is devoting to the Chapter 11 case,  the Registrant is unable to prepare and timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q on or before the November 14,  2022 due date without unreasonable effort or expense. The Registrant cannot at this time estimate when it will be  able to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
