Question
What SEC filings require the presentation of pro forma financial information for a significant consummated or probable business combination?
Answer
As discussed in more detail below, the types of SEC filings in which a registrant may be required to present pro forma financial information for a significant consummated business combination include the following:
• Form 8-K.
• Registration statements.
• Proxy statements.
Under Article 11, pro forma financial information is not required in a Form 10-K or 10-Q. However, pro forma data required by U.S. GAAP under Statement 141(R) [ASC 805]3 must be included in the notes to the financial statements in a Form 10-K or Form 10-Q, as appropriate.
Significant Consummated Business Acquisition
A registrant must file an initial Form 8-K (already received) within four business days of the consummation of a business acquisition that exceeds the 20 percent significance level. Otherwise, the registrant has an additional 71 calendar days to file an amended Form 8-K to include the separate financial statements and pro forma financial information.
