Statement and Designation by Foreign Corporation is a document that is filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) by a foreign corporation that has registered with the SEC as a foreign private issuer. This document is used to provide information about the foreign corporation's business activities and financial statements in order to comply with the SEC's reporting requirements. It also provides information about any subsidiaries of the corporation, the identity of its directors and officers, and the nature of its business operations. There are two types of Statement and Designation by Foreign Corporation. The first is a Form 20-F, which is used by foreign private issuers that are registered with the SEC to provide detailed financial and business information about the company. The second is a Form 6-K, which is used by unregistered foreign companies to provide information about their business operations and financial statements, as well as the identity of its directors and officers.
