Starting as early as next month, accelerated filers will need to comply with new hyperlinking rules adopted by the SEC earlier this year. These form amendments now require companies who file registration statements or reports subject to the exhibit requirements under Item 601 of Regulation S-K or who file Forms F-10 or F-20 to include a hyperlink to each exhibit listed in the filing’s exhibit index. This is intended to make it simpler for investors and other interested parties to locate the exhibits included or referenced in a filing.

GoFiler supports a lot of user customization to allow it to meet your exact needs. One of the primary means of customizing the software is through the use of templates. The various templates used by the application can be altered to override or to add to existing functionality. Templates can also provide you with the exact look and feel you want when creating new documents, setting up projects, and publishing reviewer’s proofs.

As the deadline for the first Form N-MFP1 filing draws closer, it’s important to know what your options are for working with this new type of filing. As with Form N-MFP, the SEC is not providing any editing software so filers are essentially on their own to find a solution for creating and editing this form.
