What Is SEC Form SD/A?

SEC Form SD/A is an important filing used to amend a previously filed Form SD under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. It is typically submitted when a company needs to correct, update, or restate information previously reported in its Specialized Disclosure Report.

This form is generally filed when a registrant identifies an error, revises exhibit information, or needs to update disclosure originally provided under Rule 13p-1 or Rule 13q-1. Once Form SD/A is submitted, the amended report becomes part of the company’s public SEC filing record.

Form SD/A ensures transparency by formally notifying investors and regulators that a company has revised a previously filed Specialized Disclosure Report. It may be used to amend conflict minerals disclosure, related exhibits, or resource extraction payment disclosure.

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

  • Name of the registrant and amendment designation
  • Reference to the original Form SD being amended
  • Reporting period or fiscal year covered by the amendment
  • Description of the correction, revision, or restatement being made
  • Any amended exhibit information related to conflict minerals or resource extraction disclosure
  • Signature and date of the amended filing

SEC Form SD/A Filing Deadlines

SEC Form SD/A does not have a separate fixed amendment deadline in the form instructions. It is generally filed as needed after the original Form SD when a company must revise previously submitted disclosure or exhibit information, and investors may review related SEC insider trading disclosures alongside other company filings for additional context.
