Amended filing
A later version of a filing that corrects or supplements the original, usually marked with an /A suffix.
Updated 2026-07-26
Amendments exist because filings are made under deadlines and sometimes contain errors. The amendment does not delete the original: both remain public, both have their own accession numbers, and the record consists of the pair.
An amendment can change a number materially. A restated financial statement, a corrected share count or a revised transaction date all arrive this way, and any figure taken from the original is stale from that point on.
Where we hold both, both are shown with their dates. Silently replacing the original with the amendment would hide the fact that the number changed, which is often the most informative part.
