SEC Quietly Extends Another Ownership Tracking Form
Published Date: 6/22/2026
Notice
Summary
The SEC is asking to keep using Form 5, which helps track big stock owners and prevent insider trading. They want to extend approval and make this form a shared tool with the Federal Reserve, so both agencies can use it easily. This won’t change costs or deadlines but keeps the process smooth for those who must file yearly reports.

Form 5 Annual Filing Continues
If you are a reporting person (someone who owns more than 10% of a registered class of equity, or a director or officer), you must continue to file Form 5 on or before the 45th day after the issuer's fiscal year end. The Commission estimates Form 5 takes about one hour per yearly response, with approximately 2,724 respondents filing once per year for a total of 2,724 hours and $0 estimated annual cost burden.
Form 5 Filings Made Public on EDGAR
Form 5 filings are publicly available on the SEC's EDGAR system, which discloses reporting persons' beneficial ownership and supports efforts to address insider trading. This public availability applies to each Form 5 filed under the annual reporting requirement.
