For domestic and foreign compliance deadlines, the Securities and Exchange Commission experiences very high-volume filing periods. Most companies have a fiscal year that matches the calendar year, creating a lot of EDGAR filing activity at the same time each quarter. For your convenience, we have identified these SEC compliance deadlines and SEC holidays linked above. It is important to submit your EDGAR documents to Merrill as soon as possible during these high-volume periods. This minimizes the need for last-minute conversions and edits, which can jeopardize your filing timeliness.
