Form 8-K (Current Report)

Form 8-K is a report of unscheduled material events or corporate changes at a company that could be of importance to the shareholders or the SEC. Events triggering an 8-K include acquisitions, bankruptcy, resignation of directors, or a change in the fiscal year. It must be filed within four business days of the event. This ensures that the public has immediate access to information that might affect the company's stock price.
