How to File Form 8-Ks for New or Amended Material Definitive Contracts

If your company enters into a new material definitive contract – one that’s not in the ordinary course – or amends an agreement that is material to an agreement – you need to file a Form 8-K with the SEC under Item 1.01 within 4 business days.

• How do you define materiality in this context
• How can you tell an “ordinary course contract” from one that is not
• How can you tell which schedules you can omit
• What is a process you’ve used to vet contracts to determine whether they should be filed
• How do you deal with signatures on the contracts when you Edgarize
• How do you keep up with what should be listed in the exhibit index for the 10-K
