Form C-AR/A Filings

What Is SEC Form C-AR/A?

SEC Form C-AR/A is an amendment filing required under Regulation Crowdfunding’s Form C that allows an issuer to update or correct information previously reported in its annual report on Form C-AR. It is used to formally notify the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the public that a material change has been identified and that the issuer is providing revised annual report disclosures consistent with the ongoing reporting requirements described in the SEC’s Regulation Crowdfunding small entity compliance guide.

This form is typically filed when an issuer discovers an error, omission, or other material change that requires an update to the previously filed annual report. Once Form C-AR/A is submitted on EDGAR, it becomes part of the issuer’s Regulation Crowdfunding disclosure record and can be reviewed alongside the original annual report and related amendments through tools such as the Form C-AR/A filings list.

Form C-AR/A supports transparency by ensuring that investors have access to corrected or updated annual reporting information after the original Form C-AR has been filed. It does not replace the issuer’s obligation to continue meeting ongoing reporting requirements unless and until reporting is properly terminated, and issuers commonly monitor amendment activity alongside the original annual report through resources like the Form C-AR filings list.

Key elements typically found in SEC Form C-AR/A include:

• Identification of the issuer and related filer details
• Indication that the filing is an amendment to a previously filed Form C-AR
• Description of the changes being made to the annual report disclosure
• Updated annual report information reflecting the corrected or revised content
• Updated financial statements or other annual report exhibits, as applicable
• Confirmation that the amended annual report is being filed pursuant to Regulation Crowdfunding requirements

SEC Form C-AR/A Filing Deadlines

SEC Form C-AR/A is filed on an event-driven basis when an issuer determines that a material change or correction is needed to a previously filed annual report. These timing expectations are important to maintain compliance and provide accurate information to investors.

Key Things to Know About Form C-AR/A Filing Rules

• Amendments Are Event-Driven: Form C-AR/A is not filed on a fixed calendar schedule; it is submitted when an issuer identifies a material change or correction that must be reflected in the previously filed annual report.
• File Promptly After Discovery: Regulation Crowdfunding requires issuers to file an amendment to the annual report as soon as practicable after discovering a material change.
• Amendment Does Not End Reporting Duties: Filing Form C-AR/A updates the annual report record, but it does not suspend or terminate ongoing reporting requirements under Regulation Crowdfunding.
• Annual Report Posting Expectations Still Apply: Issuers generally maintain public access to their annual report information, and amendments are used to ensure that the publicly available annual report disclosures remain accurate and complete.
• Used to Correct or Update Prior Annual Report Disclosures: Form C-AR/A is commonly used to address errors, omissions, or other material updates to information previously included in Form C-AR.
