What is 8-K?

Form 8-K is how a US public company tells the market that something material happened between its periodic reports. Each 8-K reports one or more numbered items, such as entry into a material agreement (1.01), results of operations (2.02), departure of a director or officer (5.02) or a material cybersecurity incident (1.05).

With more than two million filings, 8-Ks are the largest structured event feed on EDGAR. SecFeed classifies each filing by the items it reports, so you can subscribe to a single event type across every company instead of reading every filing.

Who files

Domestic companies that file Exchange Act reports. Foreign private issuers use Form 6-K and Reg A issuers use Form 1-U.

When it is filed

Within four business days of the triggering event for most items. Items 7.01 and 8.01 are voluntary, and 2.02 is due when results are announced.

Filings per year

Every 8-K filing on EDGAR, counted from the SecFeed index, amendments included. Updated daily.

FAQ

How long does a company have to file an 8-K?

Four business days after the event for most items. Earnings under Item 2.02 are furnished when the results are publicly announced.

What is the difference between filed and furnished 8-K items?

Items 2.02 and 7.01 are furnished, so they are not subject to Section 18 liability and are not incorporated into other filings by default.

Can I get only one 8-K item type?

Yes. The 8-K events API filters by item, for example item=5.02 for director and officer changes.
