The SEC's recently-adopted changes to Form 8-K scheduled to take effect on August 23, 2004, will dramatically impact the compliance and disclosure programs of most corporate issuers. The new rules completely alter the structure of the 8-K as well as the timing for compliance. The new 8-K adds 8 new items, transfers two disclosure obligations from the 10-K or 10-Q, and accelerates the filing deadline for many items from 15 days to 4. The new 8-K is a major compliance event intended to be responsive to Section 409 of Sarbanes-Oxley that calls for "real-time" disclosure of material changes to financial or operating conditions.
Issuers will almost certainly find it challenging to recognize and respond effectively to each and every "triggering event" within the allotted compliance window.
This webcast will provide timely guidance and practical insights into some of the complexities, intricacies and scope of the SEC Form 8-K Rule changes, as well as helpful advice and filing solutions.
