print(r.json())What is 15F-15D?
Foreign private issuers can exit the US reporting system under Exchange Act Rule 12h-6 by filing Form 15F, for example when US trading volume falls below the rule's thresholds. The EDGAR Filer Manual describes 15F-15D as notice of a foreign private issuer's suspension of duty to file reports pursuant to Section 13 and 15(d).
Filers include foreign parents winding down US debt programs and companies delisting their ADRs. After the filing, reporting on Forms 20-F and 6-K ends once the deregistration is effective.
Foreign private issuers with reporting obligations under Section 15(d), including issuers of registered debt.
When the issuer qualifies to terminate its reporting obligations and decides to exit.
