print(r.json())What is DEFS14C?
Information statements (Schedule 14C) go to shareholders when a company takes action without soliciting proxies, often because a majority holder has already consented. Until 2002 EDGAR used DEFS14C for definitive information statements about special meetings.
After 2002 these were filed under the general DEF 14C type.
Companies sending information statements to shareholders.
Used from 1995 to 2002.
