EDGAR Form D XML Technical Specification (Version 7.4.0)
Implementation Date: April 12, 2010
The EDGAR Form D XML Technical Specification provides, to those filers that are interested, a basis for creating XML Form D submissions without the use of the EDGAR OnlineForms/XML Website Form D application. Software developers, working on behalf of filers, can use this specification to construct software that will generate an XML Form D submission that can be successfully parsed by the EDGAR system.
EDGAR Release 10.1 introduces the following change to the EDGAR Form D XML Technical Specification (Version 7.4.0):
- A new element, <stateOrCountryDescription>, has been added to capture the state or country name that coincides with the state or country code value of the <stateOrCountry> element as listed in APPENDIX A - STATE AND COUNTRY CODES. The value for this new element will be pulled from the EDGAR database based on the value of the <stateOrCountry> element. The filer should not provide any values for this element.
- A new group, <STATE_SOLICITATION_GROUP>, has been added to the FormDSubmission.xsd schema file to encapsulate the <STATES_OF_SOLICITATION_LIST> that includes the original <state> element and a new <description> element. The new <description> element will be used to store the state name, as listed in APPENDIX B - STATE OF SOLICITATION CODES, and will be pulled from the EDGAR database based on the code value of the <state> element. The filer should not provide any values for this element.
- A new element, <foreignSolicitation>, has been created to indicate if foreign/non-US sales have been solicited by the recipient. If provided, the value can only be true or false, where true indicates foreign/non-US sales have been solicited by the recipient.
The following EDGAR Form D XML Technical Specification documents detail the valid structure and content of the EDGAR Form D submission types (D and D/A).
