6.5.49 Cover page elements and submission types

Some forms serve multiple purposes. There are check boxes on their cover page to distinguish them. Form 10-K, for example, can be submitted to EDGAR either as submission type "10-K" when it covers a 12-month period or as a "10-KT" when it is a transition report for a company changing its fiscal year end date. Forms 20-F and 40-F are used for both initial registration and for annual reports.
