APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ISSUING A NEWS RELEASE WHILE FILING AN SEC FILING

摘要

An apparatus and method provide for simultaneous issuance of a news release with the submission and filing of an SEC EDGAR filing. A news release disclosing an event related to an organization and containing a material disclosure is generated. Once the news release is generated, the issuance of the news release to a news release distribution source is scheduled. A description of contents of the news release to be placed in an EDGAR filing are then generated and the EDGAR filing is filed while issuing the news release to the news release distribution source. The apparatus and method offer truly simultaneous news release distribution at the same time that an EDGAR filing is made.
