What Is SEC Form UNDER?
SEC Form UNDER is an EDGAR submission type used for an initial undertaking to file reports. It is submitted electronically through EDGARLink Online and is most commonly associated with certain Securities Act registration statement processes, including SEC Form S-6. In practice, filers use this submission type to provide the undertaking required for those filings.
This submission type is typically used when an issuer must provide an undertaking tied to report-filing obligations, rather than to submit the periodic reports themselves. The “UNDER” submission type reflects the initial undertaking, while “UNDER/A” is used to amend an undertaking submission when changes or corrections are needed after the original submission.
Form UNDER helps standardize how these undertakings are transmitted in EDGAR, ensuring they are clearly identified as their own submission type and can be tracked and retrieved consistently in the filing record for the registrant and the associated registration statement workflow.
Key elements typically found in SEC Form UNDER include:
- Name of the registrant and identifying information
- Reference to the applicable registration statement context
- Statement reflecting the undertaking to file reports
- Submission type identification as UNDER (or UNDER/A for amendments)
- Filing metadata required by EDGARLink Online for the submission
SEC Form UNDER Filing Deadlines
SEC Form UNDER does not have a standalone calendar-based filing deadline, unlike many periodic reports. Instead, it is filing-driven and depends on when the undertaking is required in connection with the relevant registration statement or related filing circumstance.
| Filing Stage | Timeline | Details |
| Undertaking Requirement | As needed | The undertaking is prepared when required by the applicable registration statement context |
| Form UNDER Filing | As needed | Filed electronically as submission type UNDER through EDGARLink Online |
| Amendment (if required) | Not applicable | If changes are needed, submitted as UNDER/A |
| Ongoing Reporting | Not applicable | The undertaking relates to report-filing obligations, but periodic reports are filed on their respective forms |
Key Things to Know About Form UNDER Filing Rules
- EDGAR Submission Type (Not a Standalone “Form” PDF): Form UNDER is an EDGAR submission type used to transmit an initial undertaking to file reports, and it is filed through EDGARLink Online.
- UNDER vs. UNDER/A: UNDER is used for the initial undertaking submission, while UNDER/A is used to amend a previously filed undertaking submission.
- Context-Driven Filing: The submission is typically filed when the undertaking is required in connection with a registration statement process (including use with Form S-6), rather than on a fixed, recurring schedule.
- Not a Substitute for Periodic Reports: Filing Form UNDER does not replace the requirement to file periodic reports on their applicable forms when those report obligations apply.
- Trackable Like Other EDGAR Submissions: Because it is a distinct EDGAR submission type, it can be searched and monitored alongside other submission types through tools that index form types and related filing activity.
To monitor undertaking submissions and related registration-statement activity, you can use the SEC recent filings tools and set SEC Filing Realtime Alerts to stay informed when new UNDER or UNDER/A submissions appear in EDGAR records.
