SEC amends filing fee disclosure and payment methods

The SEC has adopted amendments to modernize filing fee disclosure and payment methods. Operating companies and investment companies (funds) pay filing fees when engaging in certain transactions, including registered securities offerings, tender offers, and mergers and acquisitions. The amendments revise most fee-bearing forms, schedules, and related rules to require companies and funds to include all required information for filing fee calculation in a structured format. The amendments also add new options for ACH and debit and credit card payment of filing fees and eliminate infrequently used options for filing fee payment via paper checks and money orders. The amendments are intended to improve filing fee preparation and payment processing by facilitating both enhanced validation through filing fee structuring and lower-cost, easily routable payments through the ACH payment option.

The amendments generally will be effective on January 31, 2022, but the changes adding options for filing fee payment via ACH and debit/credit card and eliminating the option for payment by paper checks and money orders will be effective May 31, 2022. The Commission's Fact Sheet on the changes includes additional implementation details.
