As discussed in our recent QuickStudy, the SEC has adopted new rules (in effect as of April 12th) that make changes to the cover pages of Securities Act registration statements (Forms S-1, S-3, S-4, S-8, S-11, F-1, F-3 and F-4) and Exchange Act periodic reports (Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K), as well as Forms 10, 20-F and 40-F, to include new check boxes for a company to indicate whether, at the time of filing, the company is an EGC and whether it has elected not to use the extended transition period for an EGC to comply with new or revised accounting standards.

Please keep this in mind when preparing your next SEC filing, including your upcoming Form 10-Q for the 1st quarter 2017.

The following draft cover pages reflect the required changes:

• Form 10-K
• Form 10-Q
• Form 8-K
