Highlights:
- All registered transfer agents, including FDIC-supervised transfer agents, must file the annual reporting form TA-2 electronically. Form TA-2 must be filed with the SEC by March 31st of each calendar year. Filers will have to apply to the SEC to obtain access to EDGAR prior to filing electronically. Information on filing electronically on EDGARLite can be found in the SEC's Draft EDGAR Filer Manual for Release 9.5 or by contacting Catherine Moore, Special Counsel, SEC Division of Market Regulation, at (202) 551-5710.
- All FDIC-registered transfer agents will continue to file - in hard copy - the Registration and Amendment Form TA-1 and the Notice of Withdrawal from Registration Form TA-W with the FDIC. Forms TA-1 and TA-W should be sent to: Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Policy and Program Development Section - Attention: Registered Transfer Agents, 550 17th Street NW, Washington, DC 20429.
- Filers may use EDGARLite to file transfer agent forms with the SEC. EDGARLite uses form templates created by MS InfoPath software. Therefore, filers wishing to use EDGARLite will have to purchase MS InfoPath software if they do not already own it. Filers who do not wish to use EDGARLite can file electronically by submitting an ASCII document that is formatted as set forth in the EDGAR Filer Manual. Filers may also use a third party to prepare and file forms electronically.
- Filers who find electronic filing unduly burdensome can apply to the SEC for a hardship exemption. The SEC will consider such requests on a case-by-case basis and determine whether to grant or deny requests for exemption from electronic filing requirements.
