Final Rule: 11-K’s and Electronic Filings

On June 3, 2022, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted amendments that were proposed in November regarding 11-K’s and Electronic Filings. In our previous blog, we outlined the key points to the proposal, which would help to modernize the filing process.

The two main changes are:

• 11-K Inline XBRL (iXBRL): Both financial statements and notes in 11-K filings, which report information about insider and employee activity involving buying and selling company stock, will be required to be tagged using iXBRL.
• Electronic Filings: Forms under Regulation S-T that are currently allowed to be submitted in paper format will be required to be filed electronically. This includes 6-K’s “glossy” annual reports and notices of exempt solicitation.

Filers will be given a grace period of six months after the effective date to comply with the electronic filing requirements and three years after the effective date to comply with the iXBRL requirements.
