Form 8-K
What is it: Form 8-K is filed by a company (except foreign private issuer, which files Form 6-K instead) to notify investors of any unscheduled material events about the company. The events required to be filed on Form 8-K include changes in key personnel, unregistered security sale, modification of shareholder right, result of operations and current financial condition, voting result on a proxy statement, bankruptcy, etc. A full list of events required to be reported can be found at www.sec.gov.
Filing Time: Unless otherwise specified, within four business days after occurrence of the event.

Tips: About 80,000~90,000 Form 8-K are filed each year by 8,000~10,000 different filers (2008~2014 statistics). Investors should keep an eye on Form 8-K as it may contain unanticipated material changes about the company and often results in significant change in stock price.
