Form D/A Filings

What Is SEC Form D/A?

SEC Form D/A is an amendment to a previously filed Form D notice under Regulation D and, where applicable, Section 4(a)(5) of the Securities Act of 1933. It is used by issuers to update information about an exempt offering when material facts change, errors are discovered, or the offering continues beyond one year. This filing helps keep the SEC’s exempt offering records current and accurate.

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

• Name of the issuer and related identifying information
• Amended details from the previously filed Form D notice
• Type of exemption claimed under Regulation D or Section 4(a)(5)
• Date of first sale, if applicable, as currently reported
• Updated offering amounts and sales information, if required
• Information about related persons, compensation, and use of proceeds, as currently applicable

SEC Form D/A Filing Deadlines

SEC Form D/A has specific timing requirements that issuers must follow when an amendment becomes necessary. These deadlines are important to maintain accurate disclosure and ongoing compliance for exempt offerings reported through the SEC’s EDGAR filing platform.

Key Things to Know About Form D/A Filing Rules

• Amendments Are Event-Driven: Form D/A is filed when a previously submitted Form D needs to be updated because of a material error, a reportable change, or the passage of one year in a continuing offering.
• Not Every Change Requires an Amendment: Certain changes, such as some decreases in the total offering amount or updates that fall within the form’s limited exceptions, do not automatically require a Form D/A filing.
• Current Information Must Be Reported: An issuer filing Form D/A must respond to all items in the form with current information as of the amendment filing date, regardless of why the amendment is being made.
• Electronic Filing Is Required: Form D/A must be submitted online through EDGAR. Paper filings are not accepted for Form D notices or amendments.
• The Filing Supports Ongoing Exempt Offering Disclosure: Form D/A helps keep exempt offering records current for regulators, investors, and professionals.
