"Is it a requirement of the SEC that every 'if, then,' letter they send to a company be PR'd? If it is not a requirement, does the company have to weigh whether it does more harm than good?"

The SEC informing QMC of it's possible revocation due to the failure of filing is a major material event. It let's investors know that the company is on a hard time limit until their investment is wiped out.

Not telling investors does MORE harm to Squires himself, as trust within him is lost. The only reason ( in my opinion ) he did not tell investors is because he knew the PPS would tank.

To state that a revocation notice from the Security Exchange Commission themselves may not meet the requirements to inform investors is outrageous.


Furthermore, if I am reading the following correctly:

Item 3.01 Notice of delisting or failure to satisfy a continued listing rule or standard; transfer of listing

EventRegistrant receives notice from its principal national securities exchange or national securities association that:

registrant or a class of registrant’s securities does not satisfy a rule or standard for continued listing


Also:


Item 8.01 Other events

EventRegistrant elects to disclose any event, with respect to which information is not otherwise required by Form 8-K, that it deems of importance to security holders, including the non-public information required to be disclosed by Regulation FD

***that it deems of importance to security holders***

A Revocation notice from the SEC sounds pretty damn important to me.
