What is 8A12BT?

EDGAR titles 8A12BT "Registrations of certain classes of Securities". It carried Form 8-A registrations under Section 12(b) in the early years of electronic filing and was used by trusts, funds and capital trusts before the standard 8-A12B type took over.

The documents inside are ordinary Form 8-A registrations, so treat 8A12BT filings as part of the 8-A12B history when building a listing timeline for that era.
