reg, I'm not sure whether you're saying that tongue in cheek or seriously. Certainly in everyone's mind on this board it would be a material event, but the SEC doesn't share our definition. After looking at the definitions for the 8-K categories, I think there are a few that such a piece of info might fit into. My real "concern" is whether the SEC allows such a filing where the issuer is out of compliance. After all, there is absolutely no value to knowing the shares outstanding without knowing the financial condition. http://sec.gov/about/forms/form8-k.pdf
But, being forever the skeptic, I'm giving a new (to me, at least) SEC investor service a test run with the general question. I'll report any response. http://investor.gov/
