NT late notices
NT 10-K and NT 10-Q late notices under Rule 12b-25: when to file, extension windows, and health score impact.
When you need an NT notice
File an NT 10-K or NT 10-Q when you cannot file the periodic report by its due date without unreasonable effort or expense.
Deadline: the notice itself is due no later than one business day after the original report due date (Rule 12b-25(a)); EDGAR must accept it by 5:30 PM ET to give it that day's filing date.
Whether an NT notice is appropriate for your situation is a question for your securities counsel; TakePublic is a technology platform, not a law firm.
Extension windows
When a timely NT notice reaches EDGAR, TakePublic moves the report's calendar deadline and its due date in the workspace, and marks the entry extended under Rule 12b-25. It reads the notice from your filing index whether TakePublic filed it or your own filing agent did.
- NT 10-K: extends the 10-K due date by 15 calendar days after the original due date, rolled forward off weekends and holidays (Rule 12b-25(b)(2)(ii)).
- NT 10-Q: extends the 10-Q due date by 5 calendar days the same way. Both windows run from the report's original due date, not from the day the notice is filed.
- A notice filed after that one business day earns no extension, and a missed entry stays missed.
- An entry the daily check already marked missed is reopened when the extended date is still ahead, and the deadline alerts restart for the new date, so nothing you already received repeats.
Health score impact
NT 10-K and NT 10-Q filings in the trailing three years count against your compliance health score (up to 18 points). Filing on time avoids a missed statutory deadline, but the notice still affects the score.
