Creating a Section 16 Amendment Filing

You don't need to create a whole new filing to submit an amendment of your Form 3, Form 4 or Form 5. The software allows you to easily change the form type of a filing from a standard filing to an amendment filing.

To create an amendment filing:

  1. Open the filing that was previously submitted to EDGAR. You can do this within the software using the Open command or by using the Open tool in the Virtual File Cloud portion of the GoFiler Online portal.
  2. In the Form Information section of the Filer Information page, click the Change button next to the Form Type field.
  3. Select the amendment form type from the Form list dialog.
  4. Use the Save As function to save your filing as a new project. This will allow you to retain a copy of the previous project as well as the amendment project.

You can then make any necessary changes to your form data or ownership information prior to submitting the filing.
