The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Thursday announced settlements with eight companies for incomplete reporting related to “not timely” form disclosures.
Form NT (or Form 12b-25) is required when a company seeks additional time to meet its quarterly or annual financial reporting obligations. In filing Form NT, a company must explain why it needs the extra time, in addition to whether the delay is the result of anticipated changes in financial results.
In Thursday’s press release, the SEC said each of the eight companies announced restatements or corrections to financial reporting within two weeks of filing Forms NT that proved insufficient. The forms didn’t disclose the anticipated restatements or corrections as reasons for the late filings, nor did they indicate management at the firms anticipated a significant change in quarterly financials.
SEC Charges Eight Companies For Failure To Disclose Complete Information On Form NT Date
29/04/2021
The Securities and Exchange Commission today charged eight companies for failing to disclose in SEC Form 12b-25 filings that their request for seeking a delayed quarterly or annual reporting filing was caused by an anticipated restatement or correction of prior financial reporting. The violations were uncovered by an initiative focused on Form 12b-25 filings by companies that quickly thereafter announced financial restatements or corrections. Each of the companies was a public reporting company at the time of the violations and agreed to settle the Commission s charges and pay civil penalties.
