"I believe that means that they have 4 days to file an 8k after an announcement of a merger. The 10Q filed on 10/28 is not an announcement of a merger, hence the time frame does not apply."
I think you have misread my post...I never mentioned anything about a R/M being completed. I stated that if they are no longer a SHELL it needs to be reported within 4 days of any change to Corporate Governance and Management per SEC rules.
Form 8-K In addition to filing annual reports on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, public companies must report certain material corporate events on a more current basis. Form 8-K is the “current report” companies must file with the SEC to announce major events that shareholders should know about.
The instructions for Form 8-K describe the types of events that trigger a public company's obligation to file a current report, including any of the following:
Section 5 -- Corporate Governance and Management Item 5.01 Changes in Control of Registrant Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year Item 5.04 Temporary Suspension of Trading Under Registrant's Employee Benefit Plans Item 5.05 Amendment to Registrant's Code of Ethics, or Waiver of a Provision of the Code of Ethics Item 5.06 Change in Shell Company Status
