SEC Form 4 Filing Made Simple
Streamline your Form 4 filings with our Section 16 filing platform with a quick 5 step workflow.
What is Form 4?
Form 4 is the statement of changes in beneficial ownership filed with the SEC. It must be submitted by corporate insiders— directors, officers, and anyone holding more than 10% of a registered class of securities—whenever there is a change in their ownership.
- Deadline: Must be filed within two business days of the transaction.
- Why it matters: Provides transparency into insider trading activity and helps investors track whether insiders are buying or selling securities.
- Common triggers: Purchase or sale of company stock, exercising stock options, receiving restricted stock units, or other ownership changes.
Why Form 4 Filing is Important
Unlike Form 3, which is filed once, Form 4 is ongoing and must be filed every time there's a change in insider ownership. This makes accuracy and timeliness especially important.
Strict Deadlines
With only a two-business-day filing window, delays can quickly result in non-compliance.
Investor Trust
Timely disclosures reassure the market that insider trades are being reported transparently.
Regulatory Scrutiny
Late or inaccurate filings are closely monitored by the SEC and can lead to enforcement actions.
Impact on Reputation
Since Form 4 is public, errors or late filings can raise red flags with analysts, shareholders, and the media.
