Question 106.01

Question: The general instructions to Form 11-K state that plans subject to ERISA “shall file the plan financial statements within 180 days after the plan's fiscal year.” Does this mean that ERISA plans may file the entire Form 11-K (not only the financial statements) within 180 days after the end of the plan fiscal year?
Answer: Yes. As stated in Release No. 33-6867, “plans subject to ERISA will be permitted to file their Forms 11-K within 180 days after the plan’s fiscal year end.” Note also that the Form 11-K now contains only financial statements, and Exchange Act Rule 15d-21 has been amended to allow the filing of ERISA plan financial statements as an amendment to the Form 10-K.

Question 106.02

Question: Are reports regarding internal control over financial reporting required to be included in a Form 11-K?
Answer: No. Form 11-K does not require the reports called for by Item 308 of Regulation S-K. [September 30, 2008]

Question 106.03

Question: Footnote 47 of Release No. 33-8124 provides that the certification requirements of Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 do not apply to annual reports on Form 11-K. Do the certification requirements of Sarbanes-Oxley Act Section 906 apply to annual reports on Form 11-K?
Answer: No. [September 30, 2008]

Question 106.04

Question: An issuer that has maintained a 401(k) employee savings plan for several years has decided to add its common stock as an investment option in the plan. Under the Division’s position issued in the Diasonics no-action letter (Dec. 29, 1982), both the plan interests and the employer stock will be subject to the Securities Act. Prior to the addition of the employer stock, the plan interests would not be regarded as securities. General Instruction A.2. to Form S-8 will ordinarily require a plan that has been in existence for more than 90 days to file a Form 11-K concurrently with the registration of the offering of plan interests and employer securities. Does General Instruction A.2 require a Form 11-K to be filed concurrently with the Form S-8 in this situation?
Answer: No. Because the interests were not securities before adoption of the amendment adding employer securities, a Form 11-K is not required to be filed concurrently with the Form S-8. [September 30, 2008]
