EDGAR Form D XML Technical Specification (Version 3.1.0)

Updated as of: March 16, 2009

The EDGAR form D XML technical Specifications provides, to those filers that are interested, a basis for creating XML Form D submissions without the use of the EDGAR OnlineForms/XML Website. The expectation is that software developers, working on behalf of filers, will construct software that will generate an XML Form D submission that can be successfully parsed by the EDGAR system.

The specifications were most recently updated to support: 1) The order of the choices for the "Year of Incorporation" has been modified in the Form D Style Sheet; 2) The text, "For signature, type in the signer’s name or other letters or characters adopted or authorized as the signer’s signature" was added just above the signature block in the form D style sheet; 3) The element of the WITHIN THE Form D XML schema has been changed to be optional; 4) A new schema, "stateOfSolicitationCodes.xsd.xml", was added to the Form D XML taxonomy to restrict the States of Solicitation in the Sales Compensation section of Form D; 5) The XML schema version used by EDGAR has been updated to be X0301; and 6) When preparing to file the Form D, filers must ensure that the State of Incorporation on file in the EDGAR database is correct for the issuer’s CIK. The <jurisdictionOfInc> value submitted will be replaced by the State of Incorporation value on file. If the <jurisdictionOfInc> value on file is NULL, the filing will be suspended unless the value for <yettobeformed> is "True".

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).
