When a 10-K or 10-Q will not be ready on the original due date, Rule 12b-25 lets the company file a Form NT notice and keep a short, defined extension. The NT itself has a hard deadline: no later than one business day after the original report due date.
An NT is a public filing. Markets, exchanges, and OTC tiers see it, and TakePublic's health score counts NT history in the trailing three years. This page explains the calendar math, not legal advice. Confirm whether an NT is available and appropriate with securities counsel.
File the NT 10-K or NT 10-Q no later than one business day after the original 10-K or 10-Q due date. Miss that window and the extension path under Rule 12b-25 is generally unavailable for that report.
| Original form | NT form | Extension after original due date |
|---|---|---|
| 10-K | NT 10-K | 15 calendar days |
| 10-Q | NT 10-Q | 5 calendar days |
The NT notice itself is due one business day after the original report due date. Extended due dates roll forward off weekends and SEC holidays. All deadlines ET.
An NT tells the market the periodic report will be late relative to the original statutory due date, even when the company still files inside the extension.
No later than one business day after the original 10-K due date. A properly filed NT 10-K extends the 10-K by 15 calendar days. All deadlines ET.
Five calendar days after the original 10-Q due date, with weekend and SEC holiday rolls. The NT 10-Q notice is due one business day after the original due date.
No. The NT is a late notice that preserves a short extension. The periodic report is still late relative to the original due date, and the NT appears on EDGAR.
TakePublic's health score counts NT 10-K and NT 10-Q filings in the trailing three years as a factor. Fewer notices score better; confirm how counterparties treat your history with counsel.
Yes on Core. NT notices go through the same counsel sign-off gate before EDGAR submission. TakePublic is not a law firm; counsel decides whether an NT is appropriate.
