If an SEC registrant cannot file a periodic report such as a Form 10-K or a Form 10-Q, on time it must file a Form 12b-25 “Notification of Late Filing” (designated as an NT 10-K or NT 10-Q on EDGAR) pursuant to Rule 12b-25 to disclose the inability to file on time and the reason for the delay. Under Rule 12b-25, the company’s periodic report will be deemed to be filed on its due date if:
- the Form 12b-25 is filed timely;
- the Form 12b-25 discloses the reasons for the late periodic report;
- the company indicates in the Form 12b-25 that the reasons could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense;
- the company represents in the Form 12b-25 that the periodic report will be filed no later than the fifth calendar day following the due date (for a Form 10-Q) or the 15th calendar day following the due date (for a Form 10-K or 20-F); and
- the periodic report is actually filed within that time period.
