What is 13D?

Schedule 13D is filed by anyone who acquires beneficial ownership of more than 5% of a class of voting equity registered under the Exchange Act and does not qualify for the short form Schedule 13G. In practice it is the filing of activists, acquirers and strategic investors, because Item 4 requires them to disclose their plans for the company.

In December 2024 EDGAR switched to structured XML and renamed the form type from SC 13D to SCHEDULE 13D, so this dataset covers both names. The same 2023 rule shortened the initial deadline from 10 days to 5 business days and amendments to 2 business days.

Who files

Persons or groups that acquire more than 5% of a registered class of voting equity and are not eligible to file Schedule 13G.

When it is filed

Within 5 business days after crossing 5% (10 days before February 2024). Material changes must be amended within 2 business days.

FAQ

When is a Schedule 13D due?

Within 5 business days after acquiring more than 5% of the class. Before February 2024 the deadline was 10 days.

What is the difference between 13D and 13G?

13D is for holders who may seek to influence or control the company. 13G is a shorter form for passive investors and certain institutions.

Why do I see both SC 13D and SCHEDULE 13D?

EDGAR renamed the form type when structured XML filing began in December 2024. The API covers both.
