What Is SEC Form 20FR12B?
SEC Form 20FR12B is a registration filing used by foreign private issuers to register a class of securities under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for trading on a national securities exchange in the United States. It is submitted electronically through the SEC’s EDGAR system.
This form is typically filed when a non-U.S. company seeks to list equity or debt securities on exchanges such as the NYSE or Nasdaq. Filing Form 20FR12B helps establish Exchange Act registration for the listed class and supports the issuer’s ongoing U.S. disclosure and reporting framework once the registration becomes effective.
Form 20FR12B provides regulators and investors with core registration information tied to the class of securities being listed. While it is used for initial registration under Section 12(b), the issuer’s ongoing obligations and future filings depend on its status as a foreign private issuer and the reporting requirements that apply after registration.
Key elements typically found in SEC Form 20FR12B include:
- Name of the issuer and jurisdiction of incorporation
- Class of securities being registered and trading symbol (if applicable)
- Name of the national securities exchange for listing
- Description of the securities and related registration details
- Key disclosures and exhibits supporting the registration statement
- Confirmation of Exchange Act Section 12(b) registration basis
