Form 25/A Filings

What Is SEC Form 25/A?

SEC Form 25/A is an important amended filing required under Rule 12d2-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Companies or exchanges use it to update, revise, or correct information previously reported on Form 25 regarding the delisting of securities from a national securities exchange and the related withdrawal of registration.

This form is typically filed when the original Form 25 needs to be amended due to changes, corrections, or clarifications related to the delisting or registration withdrawal process. Once Form 25/A is submitted, the amended filing becomes part of the SEC record, and the timing for the effectiveness of delisting and registration withdrawal applies based on the amended filing.

Form 25/A ensures transparency by formally updating the SEC and the market when previously filed delisting information must be corrected or revised. While it amends the original filing, it does not serve as a separate deregistration mechanism beyond the amended Form 25 process.

Key elements typically found in SEC Form 25/A include:

• Name of the issuer and trading symbol
• Name of the national securities exchange involved
• Corrected or amended information from the original Form 25
• Date of the amended filing
• Updated effectiveness timing, if applicable
• Confirmation of compliance with SEC Rule 12d2-2

SEC Form 25/A Filing Deadlines

SEC Form 25/A may be filed when a previously submitted Form 25 must be corrected or amended. While there is no separate fixed filing deadline for the amendment itself, the amended filing affects the timing of delisting and registration withdrawal under the SEC’s rules.

Key Things to Know About Form 25/A Filing Rules

• Used to Amend a Prior Form 25: Form 25/A is filed only when a previously submitted Form 25 must be corrected, updated, or clarified.
• Amended Timing Still Applies: Under the SEC’s instructions, the removal from listing becomes effective 10 days after filing the amended Form 25, and withdrawal of registration generally takes effect 90 days after filing the amended Form.
• Filed Electronically on EDGAR: Form 25/A is an accepted EDGAR submission type and must be filed electronically with the SEC.
• Not Full Deregistration by Itself: As with Form 25, an amended Form 25 does not automatically eliminate every remaining SEC reporting obligation that may apply.
• Applies to Delisting Revisions: Form 25/A is used when delisting or registration withdrawal information previously submitted on Form 25 needs to be revised in the SEC filing record.
