Help > 8-K SEC Filing


Form 8-K is a report required to be filed by public companies with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. After a significant event like bankruptcy or departure of a CEO, a public company generally must file a Current Report on Form 8-K within four business days to provide an update to previously filed quartely reports on Form 10-Q and/or Annual Reports on Form 10-K. Form 8-K is a very broad form used to notify investors of any unscheduled material event that is important to shareholders or the SEC. This is one of the most common types of forms filed with the SEC. For a list of events that would trigger a Form 8-K to be filed, see the Official SEC Form 8-K Summary.
