What is SC TO-C?

Bidders and issuers can talk about a tender offer before it formally begins, as long as they file every written communication. Those filings carry the SC TO-C form type: press releases announcing a deal, employee FAQs, letters to customers and investor presentations.

Because they come first, SC TO-C filings are often the earliest EDGAR signal that a tender offer is coming.

Who files

Bidders, issuers and targets communicating about a planned tender offer.

When it is filed

No later than the date the communication is first used.

Is SC TO-C the tender offer itself?

No. It is a communication before the offer starts. The offer is filed later on Schedule TO-T or TO-I.
