What Late SEC Filers Need to Know in 2024
Under the U.S. federal securities laws and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, U.S. public companies and foreign private issuers are subject to substantial disclosure requirements in their periodic reports required to be filed with the SEC. These reports have strict filing deadlines and the consequences for missing a deadline could have a wide range of impacts on a company, including with respect to its continued listing on a stock exchange, its ability to conduct securities offerings, and its compliance with covenants under debt indentures or credit agreements, in addition to potential damage to its reputation in the market.

ESG in finance can refer to, among other things, financing tools such as Green, Social, and Sustainability Bonds and similar ESG-related debt instruments, as well as the separate discipline of ESG Investing. ESG stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance. Investors are increasingly applying these non-financial factors as part of their analysis to identify ESG-related risks and opportunities in particular investments. ESG metrics have not historically been included in financial reporting, though companies are increasingly making disclosures in their annual report or in a standalone sustainability report, and regulatory requirements for such disclosures, including from the SEC, are expanding.
