How to File Form 8-Ks for Compensatory Arrangements

The biggest challenge of Form 8-Ks filed under Item 5.02? The disclosure of compensatory events under three of the subitems – it’s a challenge because these 8-Ks must be filed with the SEC on a dime – within 4 business days – so you don’t get ample time like when you file a proxy statement to consider what you want to say. Nor do you get the opportunity to place these compensation arrangements in full context since these 8-Ks don’t have a CD&A. This video covers:

• What’s the trigger date
• What types of plans & agreements are triggers
• What to disclose
