Form 8-K

A Form 8-K is a current report that U.S. public companies file with the SEC to disclose certain material events (e.g., acquisitions, executive changes, significant agreements) on a timely basis. Because Form 8-K filings can be triggered by financing or M&A milestones, Form 8-K disclosure planning is often part of deal execution and communications.
