The amendments updated Sections 13(d), 13(g) and Regulation 13D-G to accelerate filing deadlines for both initial and amended reports; expand the timeframe within a business day in which filings may be timely made; clarify the Schedule 13D disclosure requirements with respect to derivative securities; and require that Schedule 13D and 13G filings be filed using XBRL.
On July 11, 2025, the SEC published 18 revised CD&Is on the filing of Schedules 13D and 13G. Many of the changes are clean-up, clarification and updates to align the guidance with the October 2023 amendments.
