SEC 8-K Material Event Alerts: Exec Changes, M&A, Bankruptcy, Auditor Changes | Johto Data

This Actor is an alert feed of SEC 8-K material events for sales, fintech, credit and investor-relations teams. Each 8-K item code becomes a readable title and a category, and the optional excerpt pulls the actual sentence ("On October 19, Jane Doe notified the Company that she will resign as CFO..."). The data comes from SEC EDGAR, collected with no proxy, a declared User-Agent and at most 5 requests per second.

Event categories (map to 8-K items)

• Corporate events:
  • executive_change (5.02)
  • mergers_acquisitions (1.01, 2.01), material_agreement (1.01, 1.02)
  • change_in_control (5.01), shell_status (5.06)
  • governance_bylaws (5.03, 5.05), shareholder_vote (5.07)
• Financial events:
  • bankruptcy (1.03), restructuring_layoffs (2.05), impairment (2.06)
  • financing_debt (2.03, 2.04), equity_issuance (3.02)

• Disclosure and audit:
  • auditor_change (4.01), restatement (4.02), cybersecurity (1.05)
  • reg_fd (7.01), other_events (8.01)

By default, with no items chosen, the feed returns only material items and skips earnings-only, Reg FD-only and exhibits-only 8-Ks. Set excludeRoutine: false to get every 8-K.
