Form F-4 is a registration statement filed by foreign private issuers under the Securities Act of 1933, pursuant to 17 CFR 239.34. It is used to register securities issued in connection with business combination transactions, including mergers, exchange offers, and transactions subject to Rule 145, where the issuer qualifies as a foreign private issuer under SEC rules. The dataset includes all Form F-4 and Form F-4/A filings submitted to EDGAR from October 1994 to present. Form F-4/A filings represent amendments to previously filed registration statements. For each accession number, a metadata file and all documents in the original EDGAR submission are included except image files. Each filing typically contains a prospectus describing the terms of the proposed transaction, risk factors, financial statements of the registrant and the company being acquired reconciled to U.S. GAAP or IFRS as applicable, pro forma financial information, and any exhibits such as legal opinions or material agreements.
