Form 10 is used to Register Shares with the SEC. However.......
Stocks trade just the same whether the shares are registered or not. Makes ZERO difference in the trading. Many companies can't afford the auditing costs (of the annual 10K), so they elect to stop reporting and file a Form 15. This effectively de-registers their shares.....again...makes no difference in the trading.
Apparently to re-register the shares, a company files a Form 10.
As far as actually reporting with the SEC, $PKPH has satisfied All requirements with the 17 10Q/K's they filed recently.
5 10K's were filed. Those need to be audited....and they were. Estimated cost is $100,000+ per form......so they spent about 1/2 a milly or so.
There is no requirement to have shares registered for a merger as far as I know.....and again, they are now Fully 'Reporting'.....
I didn't think a Form 10 was required to re-register shares, but apparently it may be.....even though they are totally current with their filings........Which contain the exact same info that a Form 10 has.......makes no freaking sense.....lol.
And a Form 10 is required for companies with $10M+ assets.
However there is a Form10-12G that smaller companies can file instead.
