Item classification
Use Item 2.02 for earnings, 5.02 for executive moves, 1.01 for definitive agreements, and Item 7.01 for Reg FD slides.
File within four business days of most enumerated events (Items 1–6).
Market dynamics
Because 8-Ks often precede press releases, algos watch for keywords like ‘guidance’, ‘impairment’, or ‘going concern’ long before investors dial in.
Automated surveillance across C-suite departures and covenant notices is a common governance KPI.
Key resources
Exhibits frequently include investor decks or full PDF transcripts—the first stop for analysts building comps.
Most 8-K items are due within four business days of the triggering event, but certain disclosures (like Regulation FD or voluntary items) can post immediately.
FAQs
Are companies required to furnish every press release on Form 8-K?
Only material ones. Earnings releases, major agreements, departures of directors/officers, and other enumerated events must be furnished or filed.
What is the difference between ‘filed’ and ‘furnished’ 8-K items?
Filed items become part of the registration statement liability stack; furnished items (like Reg FD decks) are exempt from Section 18 liability but still public.
Which 8-K items are most often amended with an 8-K/A?
Earnings releases (Item 2.02) and leadership changes (Item 5.02) when compensation terms or exhibits are finalized after the initial filing.
Do all Reg FD decks need to be furnished on 8-K?
Only material investor communications. Reg FD presentations typically use Item 7.01, but purely immaterial decks are not required.
