print(r.json())What is 15-12G?
Form 15 is how an issuer certifies that it is terminating registration of a class of securities, or suspending its duty to report. The 15-12G version covers securities registered under Section 12(g), typically when the number of holders of record has fallen below the Rule 12g-4 thresholds.
Filing Form 15 immediately suspends the duty to file periodic reports, and termination becomes effective 90 days later. Companies use it after being acquired, after deregistering a class of notes, or to stop reporting altogether.
Issuers with securities registered under Section 12(g) that qualify to deregister.
When the issuer qualifies, often right after a merger closes or after holders of record drop below the threshold.
