What Is SEC Form 15F-12G?
SEC Form 15F-12G is an important filing used by foreign private issuers under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to certify the termination of registration of a class of securities under Section 12(g) and the corresponding duty to file or furnish reports required by Section 13(a). It is submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) when an eligible foreign private issuer is seeking to end Exchange Act reporting for a class of securities registered under Section 12(g).
This form is typically filed when a foreign private issuer qualifies to exit U.S. reporting based on applicable deregistration standards and files a certification on EDGAR. Once filed, it initiates the regulatory process that suspends the issuer’s Exchange Act reporting obligations for the subject class and, absent SEC objection, results in the termination of Section 12(g) registration after a waiting period.
Form 15F-12G provides transparency by formally notifying investors and regulators that the issuer seeks to terminate U.S. reporting for the registered class.
Key elements typically found in SEC Form 15F-12G include:
- Name of the foreign private issuer and file number
- Identification of the class of securities subject to Section 12(g)
- Certification basis under applicable Exchange Act rules
- Confirmation that Exchange Act reporting obligations are being addressed
- Signature and authorization details for the certification
