What Are Forms 3, 4, and 5?
Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires certain insiders — including officers, directors, and large shareholders — to report transactions in company securities.
Form 3 is the initial ownership report
Form 4 is used to report changes in ownership
Form 5 is an annual report for certain transactions not reported earlier
For more background, see our Forms 3, 4, and 5 FAQ.
