Form 6-K is a disclosure document under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that must be filed by a foreign private issuer to report material information promptly after the occurrence of specified or other important corporative events that are disclosed in the foreign private issuer's home country.
The final rules require the addition of âmaterial cybersecurity incidentâ as a reporting topic. The Commission estimates that the amendments will result in an increase in the paperwork burden of affected entities. For purposes of the PRA, the Commission estimates that for Form 6-K the final rules will result in an increase of 135 burden hours and $27,000 for the services of outside professionals.
