Form CB is a notification form filed in connection with certain cross-border tender offers, business combinations, and rights offerings involving a foreign private issuer whose securities are held less than 10 percent by U.S. persons. It was adopted under Rules 14d-1(c) and 13e-4(h)(8) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as part of the Tier I exemption framework, which permits eligible transactions to follow home jurisdiction requirements while furnishing disclosure materials to the SEC. The dataset includes all Form CB and Form CB/A filings submitted to EDGAR from January 2002 to present. Form CB/A filings represent amendments to previously submitted notifications. For each accession number, a metadata file and all documents in the original EDGAR submission are included except image files. Each filing typically contains the home jurisdiction disclosure document used in connection with the transaction, identification of the subject company and the bidder or offeror, a description of the class of securities involved, and any additional materials disseminated to security holders in the foreign jurisdiction.
