OTCQX, OTCQB, and OTCID companies file the same domestic 10-K and 10-Q reports as exchange-listed peers, then add OTC Markets management certifications on a separate clock. Miss the certification and tier maintenance is at risk even when the federal report was on time.
TakePublic puts those certification due dates on the same Eastern Time compliance calendar as the SEC obligations. This page explains the shared deadline pattern. Tier rules and posting steps are set by OTC Markets; confirm details with counsel and your OTCIQ process.
For OTCQX, OTCQB, and OTCID, the annual management certification is due 45 calendar days after the annual report due date, then rolled forward if that date falls on a weekend or SEC holiday. All deadlines are Eastern Time.
| Tier | Certification due |
|---|---|
| OTCQX | 45 calendar days after the annual report due date |
| OTCQB | 45 calendar days after the annual report due date |
| OTCID | 45 calendar days after the annual report due date |
Weekend and SEC holiday due dates roll to the next business day. All deadlines ET.
The certification clock starts from the annual report due date, not from the day you happen to file the 10-K.
