What is SEC Form 1-K?
SEC Form 1-K must be filed on an annual basis with the SEC by issuers that have completed a Tier 2 offering under Regulation A. Tier 2 comprises offerings of securities up to $50 million in a 12-month period.
This annual report, which must be filed within 120 calendar days after the end of the fiscal year covered by the report, includes two parts. Part I of Form 1-K is delivered in XML (eXtensible Markup Language) format and contains basic information on the issuer along with its Regulation A offerings.
In Part II of Form 1-K is where the issuer must disclose information on its business, directors, officers and security-holders. Disclosures must also include information on related party transactions and interest of management and others in certain transactions. The issuer must also share audited financial statements for the two most recently completed fiscal years as well as analysis of financial condition and results of operations. Form 1-K must be filed with the EDGAR computer system for the receipt, acceptance, review and dissemination of documents submitted in electronic format to the SEC.
