Series 24: Current Reports: Form 8-K

Current Reports: Form 8-K

Public companies must report certain important “current information” on Form 8-K. Unlike the quarterly and annual reports described previously, which must be filed regularly and which must include specific content, a company files an 8-K only when it has a material event to report to shareholders. The instructions for Form 8-K specify more than two dozen material events that must be reported. The following are the “triggering events” that are most relevant to investment bankers:

• Entry into or termination of a material definitive agreement not made in the ordinary course of business. This is an agreement that contains enforceable obligations or rights by one party against another. For example, when two companies agree to enter into a merger, a definitive agreement is signed between the two parties.
• A bankruptcy proceeding or receivership

TESTIMONIALS

What are people saying?

I passed my Series 24 with two weeks of nearly full-time study, using the textbook, the online class, and the exam simulator. The textbook was very readable and helpful in providing complete explanations, as well as helpful memorization tips. The online class and pre-recorded sessions were crucial to get through all of the material and put it in relative context. It was helpful to be able to have questions answered instantly and via email afterward. The online simulator questions were just like the exam questions, and the immediate feedback function was essential for learning from the practice quizzes and exam. I needed every minute of my study and practice time to count, and Solomon Exam Prep made it possible. Thank you!

I passed the 24 with the help of the audio, book and test questions. I previously took this test and failed walking away with the thought nothing I studied looked familiar. I also didn't really understand how certain areas functioned... but found the information provided with Solomon worked best for me. The flow charts and extra resources section were extremely helpful in breaking down sections of this "Dry" test. The audio was great to review and the book format was easy to read and concise. I felt almost every question I knew what they were asking and I was able to eliminate one or two questions. Don't waste your money with other sites. Solomon will allow you to pass on the first time. Good luck!

Just passed the Series 24 on my first attempt. Not an easy exam so put the time in. I used the Video Lectures and the Exam Simulator from Solomon. Great resources of information!

I watched the videos twice, took notes from them, and took hundreds of practice problems. The test simulator was the best part of the program. I found it helpful that you could go back and look at the questions you missed and use them to help refine what to study. I definitely would recommend the program. Get 85%+ on the practice and you should pass the 24.
