Public record · SEC Form 8-K

Material corporate events, from the filings.

A public company has four business days to tell the SEC about a material event on Form 8-K, and each report names the items it covers: a cybersecurity incident, financial statements that can no longer be relied on, a new auditor, a completed acquisition, an executive leaving. Palanor reads every 8-K filed by an S&P 500 or Nasdaq-100 company since September 2023 and lists the events by those item codes, each linked to its filing.

How this is built

Every Form 8-K lists the items it reports, from the SEC’s fixed catalogue. The item list is structured data on the filing, so the kind of event is never guessed: a row here is a filing that named that item. New filings are read from EDGAR’s daily index every two hours.

For director and officer changes (Item 5.02), the names and roles shown come from the filing’s own sentences, read with fixed patterns rather than a language model. A person is listed only when one sentence names them, says what happened and gives the title; otherwise the event stands on its item code alone. Sentences that re-report an earlier filing are skipped.

Earnings releases (2.02), Regulation FD disclosures (7.01), other events (8.01) and the other routine items are stored but not shown by default. Item 9.01 (exhibits) is an attachment list, not an event. Amendments (8-K/A) are left out of the list and the counts. Coverage is current S&P 500 members and the Nasdaq-100 members outside it, from 2023-09-25. (Most foreign Nasdaq-100 companies file 6-K reports instead of 8-K and aren’t in the ledger.)
