Form ABS-EE/A Filings

What Is SEC Form ABS-EE/A?

SEC Form ABS-EE/A is an amendment to Form ABS-EE, which is filed under Exchange Act rules to submit the asset-level data file and related document exhibits required for certain asset-backed securities offerings.

This form is typically filed when a depositor, issuing entity, or authorized filer needs to revise previously filed Exhibit 102 (Asset Data File) and/or Exhibit 103 (Asset Related Document) to reflect corrections, updates, or other changes to the submission.

Form ABS-EE/A supports standardized asset-level transparency by allowing amended electronic exhibits to be filed and made available on EDGAR. The underlying Form ABS-EE contains the original asset-level data and related electronic exhibits, while ABS-EE/A is used when those materials require revision.

Key elements typically found in SEC Form ABS-EE/A include:

• Name of the issuing entity and depositor
• Identification of the related asset-backed securities transaction
• Updated Exhibit 102 (Asset Data File) and/or Exhibit 103 (Asset Related Document)
• Description of the amendment purpose or changes being submitted
• Signature of the depositor or authorized signatory, as applicable

For guidance on how amended asset-level exhibits are handled in practice, filers often refer to SEC staff interpretations on the information for ABS-EE filings and the exhibit standards applied to ABS submissions.

SEC Form ABS-EE/A Filing Deadlines

SEC Form ABS-EE/A is filed on an event-driven basis when an amendment to previously submitted ABS-EE exhibits is necessary. Timing depends on the filer’s need to correct or update the asset-level exhibits and the applicable transaction reporting framework.

Researchers examining these amendments within the wider securitization market can also review Asset-Backed Securities filings to compare asset-level disclosures with registration, periodic reporting, and other ABS-related submissions.
