Section 15(d) Reporting l Securities Lawyer 101

Upon completion of a going public transaction, an issuer that has registered equity or debt securities in an initial or direct public offering registered on Form S-1 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) must file annual, quarterly and current reports with the Securities and Exchange
Commission under Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Section 15(d) reporting requirements apply even if the public company does not list its securities on a national securities exchange or market and the company has not met the size thresholds requiring Exchange Act registration.

A company subject to Section 15(d) reporting requirements must file annual, quarterly and current reports with the SEC. These periodic reports regularly update and supplement disclosures that the issuer in its previous registration statement or other SEC filings. Companies file their periodic reports on Form 10-K or 10-Q within a specified number of days after the end of each reporting period and file reports on Form 8-K after certain material events.

Companies subject to periodic reporting under Section 15(d) are not required to comply with many of the Exchange Act’s disclosure requirements including the proxy rules and third-party tender offers, beneficial ownership reporting and short-swing profit liability.
