Section 16
Easily manage filing Section 16 forms 3, 4 and 5. Section 16 filings are required for certain insiders and decision-makers to report their holdings as well as any changes in ownership of the company's securities. Individuals subject to Section 16 reporting include directors, officers and beneficial owners of more than 10% of a company's stock.
Form 144
Comply with the new electronic filing regulations of Form 144. Use AD to file Form 144 whenever affiliates plan to sell their restricted or control securities. These typically are acquired through private placements and other restricted means, meaning they are not registered for public resale. Filling out Form 144 is required for altering the SEC of an insider's intention to sell a large number of shares in a specific timeframe.
Schedule 13D & G
Streamline your Schedule 13D and 13G reporting process with ActiveDisclosure. These are required for investors who acquire beneficial ownership of more than 5% of a company’s equity securities. These filings ensure transparency by disclosing significant ownership changes to the SEC and the market.
