Post from another site by jjseabrook : One thing you should be aware of that's NOT in the PR is that before filing a DEF 14-C they must first file a PRE 14-C. They mentioned the 20 days notice required by a 14-C but the PRE 14-C requires 10 days notice before the filing of the 14-C making it a total of at least 30 days before the name change can take place. Next filing will be a PRE 14-C, IMO.
