What Is SEC Form T-2?
SEC Form T-2 is a filing prescribed under Rule 5a-1(b) of the Trust Indenture Act framework. It is used to provide a statement of eligibility and qualification of an individual trustee designated to act as trustee under trust indentures to be qualified pursuant to Section 305 or 307 of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939.
This form is typically filed in connection with an offering or registration where an indenture trustee must be qualified, and the designated trustee is an individual rather than a corporation. In practice, Form T-2 is commonly provided as an exhibit to a registration statement rather than filed as a standalone EDGAR submission type.
Form T-2 supports investor protection by providing the information the SEC uses to determine whether an individual trustee meets the applicable eligibility standards under the Trust Indenture Act. For context on the related Trust Indenture Act forms and how they fit together, see the SEC’s Trust Indenture Act forms.
Key elements typically found in SEC Form T-2 include:
- Name of the individual trustee
- Name of the obligor and/or issuer (as applicable)
- Identification of the indenture and securities covered
- Responses to the eligibility and qualification items required by the form
- Disclosure of affiliations, conflicts, and other required trustee information
- Signature and consent-related information (as applicable)
SEC Form T-2 Filing Deadlines
