How each row is judged

Each original Form 3, 4 and 5 filed on EDGAR in the last 12 months, against its own due date: a Form 4 within two business days of each trade it reports, or of the trade's deemed execution date when the form gives one; a Form 3 within 10 days of becoming an insider; a Form 5 within 45 days of the fiscal year end. Amendments are not counted twice. Dates are ET.

A form counts as filed after its due date only when the form itself supports it. For a Form 4, a trade past its date that is not code J, a gift, a Form 5 item, a dividend reinvestment or an employee stock purchase plan purchase; not marked by the filer as an early, voluntary report; not a 10b5-1 or discretionary trade within 5 days of its date, where a broker's notice can set a later deemed execution date under Rule 16a-3(g); and not dated more than 180 days before filing, with no dividend reinvestment or employee stock purchase plan named in the remarks. For a Form 3, filed after its 10 days and within 180 days of the event. The rows of a Form 5 are not read.

What EDGAR cannot show: a report an insider never filed, so an unreported transaction is not in these counts; and whether an insider at the company's Section 12 registration owed the Form 3 by the registration's effective date, which can be earlier than the 10-day clock used here.
