: SEC文件及其关键要点
**Form 8-K**
This form is used to report significant events to the SEC, making them public. It includes changes in management, company name, mergers, acquisitions, bankruptcy filings, and major product launches. A Form 8-K must be filed within four business days of such events. It applies only to domestic issuers; foreign issuers and ADRs are exempt.
**Form 10-K**
Domestic public issuers must file this annual report, providing a comprehensive overview of the company’s business and financial condition, including audited financial statements. Filing deadlines vary based on the company’s public float: 60 days for $700 million or more, 75 days for $75 million to $700 million, and 90 days for less than $75 million.
**Form 10-Q**
Filed quarterly, this form includes unaudited financial statements. Companies with a public float of $75 million or more must file within 40 days of the first three fiscal quarters, while smaller firms have 45 days. The fourth quarter is covered by the 10-K.
**Annual Reports**
Public companies must provide shareholders with an annual report, offering detailed financial information. Unlike the 10-K, it is often professionally designed for marketing purposes, featuring CEO messages, company plans, and voting proxies.
**Form S-1**
This is the initial registration form for new securities by U.S.-based public companies, required before listing on national exchanges. It details the planned use of capital, business model, competition, and security prospectus. Foreign issuers use Form F-1 instead.
**Form S-3**
Used for simplified reporting, typically for secondary offerings after an IPO. Companies must meet eligibility criteria, including fulfilling debt and dividend requirements in the prior 12 months.
**Form 4**
This form reports changes in beneficial ownership by company insiders, such as directors, officers, and major shareholders. It must be filed within two business days of the transaction.
**Schedule 13D**
Required when an owner acquires 5% or more of a company's voting shares, this report, filed within 10 days, includes the acquirer’s details, relationship to the company, and transaction purpose.
**Form 144**
Corporate insiders must file this form when selling restricted stock. It is required if the sale exceeds 5,000 shares or $50,000 within three months.
**Initial Public Offering (IPO)**
A company’s first sale of common stock to the public.
**Secondary Offering**
Major stockholders sell their holdings, with proceeds going to them rather than the company. This does not increase the number of outstanding shares.
**Regulation D**
Exempts private placement offerings from registration. Rule 506(b) limits sales to 35 non-accredited investors without advertising, while Rule 506(c) allows advertising but requires all purchasers to be accredited investors.
**Accredited Investor**
Defined by Rule 501 of Regulation D, accredited investors meet specific net worth or income criteria. As of December 2020, holders of Series 7, 65, or 82 licenses are also considered accredited.
