About Form DRS

Form DRS and subsequent amendments are submitted privately to the SEC and can be publicly disseminated (daylighted) by the company when ready through the click of a mouse. Through utilizing Form DRS, EGCs can go through a substantial portion of the SEC review process without immediate public disclosure of changes made in response to SEC comments. A Form S-1 or Form F-1 filing subsequently follows the public release of the DRS submissions, effectively registering the securities.

Form DRS is filed on the SEC EDGAR system in HTML format. The SEC only accepts a simplified version of HTML, requiring the source documents to be converted using specialized SEC EDGAR software (as opposed to simply using the “Save as HTML” option in a word processor). Form DRS also requires the filing entity to be registered with the SEC EDGAR system and have valid EDGAR filing codes.
