Preparing FPIs and D&Os to comply with Section 16(a) reporting obligations

3 February 2026 | 9:00 a.m. - 10:30 a.m. (EST)

On February 3, Hogan Lovells hosted the webinar “Preparing FPIs and D&Os to comply with Section 16(a) reporting obligations”, focused on recent amendments to Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and their implications for foreign private issuers (FPIs) and their directors and officers (D&Os).

Recent changes to the rules require D&Os of FPIs with SEC-registered equity securities to publicly report their holdings and transactions in the issuer’s equity securities, regardless of whether those securities trade directly in U.S. markets or in the form of American depositary shares. FPIs and their D&Os must be prepared to comply with these requirements by March 18, 2026, including obtaining EDGAR Filer IDs in advance of the initial Form 3 filing deadline.

During the webinar, the complex reporting framework governing transactions and holdings reportable on Forms 3, 4 and 5 was discussed, along with practical considerations for navigating these requirements. The session aimed to help FPIs and their D&Os better understand their new obligations and prepare for timely and compliant reporting.
