On November 4, the SEC announced proposed amendments to its rules governing electronic filings on EDGAR. If adopted, the amendments would require certain forms that may currently be submitted in paper format to be submitted electronically. In particular, so-called “glossy” annual reports to securityholders, if submitted, would have to be submitted electronically in PDF format.
The amendments are subject to a 30-day public comment period following publication in the Federal Register.
