Series 24: Current Reports: Form 8-K

Taken from our Series 24 Online Guide

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

I wanted to let you know I passed the exam [Series 24] this morning! The practice exams were invaluable. Thank you for your extra help and suggestions. I have recommended this to two of my co-workers who will be taking the Series 7 this year. I will say, the 24 was worded so tricky. And so much irrelevant info put into the questions. I had to write down pieces of the question to get the gist of what it was asking. Very purposfully confusing. But it's over and I'm thankful for your product. Thx again

Just wanted to say thank you and give you a good review. I actually found that your test questions were harder than the actual exam and the explanations and the ability to create tests of all of my wrong answers helped me focus on my weak areas of the exam. I passed the first time and don't believe I couldn't have done it without your test bank. Thanks again.

Excited to say I passed the Series 24 the first time I sat for the exam. The course material and exam simulator were paramount in my preparation.

I was very apprehensive about the Series 24 exam prior to taking it. Everyone I knew who had taken it informed me that it was an incredibly difficult test, with questions that were meant to trick you. After following Solomon's six week study outline and making flashcards for my weakest areas, I was averaging in the high 80s on the Solomon practice exams. That gave me the confidence I needed to walk into the test center feeling prepared, and the knowledge I needed to walk out of the test center having scored an 88. I am now recommending the Solomon Series 24 materials to everyone at the office!

Janie Richards, Austin, TX

I was very impressed with all elements of Solomon's Series 24 offerings. Solomon provided an incredibly organized system for me to utilize, which kept me "on point" and focused. I felt good confidence going into the test because of the structured system that Solomon developed. I would certainly recommend Solomon to anyone that is taking the Series 24.

Thank you Solomon! I was able to pass the SIE, 7, 63 and 24 in a relatively short time period. The practice exams with answers really helped and when I had a question for The Professor, I always received a quick and accurate response. Solomon is definitely the way to go.
