What Is SEC Form N-54C/A?

SEC Form N-54C/A is an amended filing used by a business development company to update a previously submitted Form N-54C. It relates to the withdrawal of the company’s election to be subject to Sections 55 through 65 of the Investment Company Act of 1940.

This form is typically filed when a company needs to correct, supplement, or revise information in an earlier withdrawal notice. It is event-driven rather than subject to a fixed deadline.

Form N-54C/A helps maintain an accurate SEC record of a business development company’s withdrawal filing. It supports transparency by updating previously submitted information

Key elements typically found in SEC Form N-54C/A include:

  • Name of the business development company
  • Address of principal business office
  • Telephone number and file number
  • Amended basis for withdrawal of election
  • Updated explanatory information supporting the amendment
  • Signature and attestation details

SEC Form N-54C/A Filing Deadlines

SEC Form N-54C/A does not have a fixed statutory filing deadline in the same way as some periodic SEC reports. Instead, it is generally filed as needed when a business development company must amend a previously submitted Form N-54C to correct or update the record.

Key Things to Know About Form N-54C/A Filing Rules

  • Amendment to Prior Filing: Form N-54C/A is used only to amend a previously filed Form N-54C, not to make the initial withdrawal filing.
  • Used by Business Development Companies: This filing relates to business development companies withdrawing their election to be regulated under Sections 55 through 65 of the Investment Company Act of 1940.
  • No Fixed Periodic Deadline: Form N-54C/A is generally filed when needed to revise earlier disclosure, rather than on a recurring annual or quarterly schedule.
  • Accuracy of Withdrawal Basis Matters: The filing may update the company’s stated basis for withdrawal, including merger, liquidation, business change, registration, or other circumstances described in Form N-54C.
  • Filed Through EDGAR Submission Types: The SEC recognizes Form N-54C and Form N-54C/A as separate EDGAR submission types for business development company filings, and some filers use EDGAR API tools to monitor related amendments and withdrawal filings.

To monitor amendments, withdrawal notices, and related company filings, filers and researchers often track Form N-54C/A alongside the underlying Form N-54C and other business development company submissions through our SEC filing search tools.
