01—Abstract
Summary
Summary of the 8-K filed March 18, 2025. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
Brookfield Asset Management Ltd. (NYSE/TSX: BAM) filed this Form 8-K on March 18, 2025 to furnish a press release (Exhibit 99.1) announcing that it had filed its 2024 annual report on Form 10-K with the SEC for the first time.
The filing is procedural. It discloses no new financial results, guidance, or transaction terms, and the 8-K itself contains no financial statements. The press release frames the transition as a change in reporting practice.
BAM is adopting the disclosure framework of U.S.-domiciled public companies, so it will file ongoing Forms 10-Q and 8-K with the SEC. The 10-K was also filed with Canadian securities regulators on SEDAR+ and is available on BAM's website, with hard copies available to shareholders at no cost. The company describes itself as a global alternative asset manager with over $1 trilliona in assets under management across renewable power and transition, infrastructure, private equity, real estate, and credit.
For investors, the main significance is the move to U.S. domestic SEC reporting, which should bring more standardized and comparable disclosure. Investors should review the 10-K itself for the detailed financial results, risk factors, and segment information that this 8-K does not contain.

03—Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did BAM file a Form 10-K with the SEC for the first time?
According to the press release, BAM is aligning its financial reporting with the practices of U.S.-domiciled public companies. Its first SEC annual report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2024 was filed on March 18, 2025, and it will continue with quarterly Forms 10-Q and current Forms 8-K.
Does this 8-K disclose BAM's 2024 financial results?
No. The 8-K only announces the filing of the 10-K and attaches a press release about it. Investors should review the 10-K for audited financial statements, results of operations, and risk disclosures.
Where can investors access the 2024 Form 10-K?
The 10-K is available on BAM's website at www.bam.brookfield.com. It was also filed with Canadian securities regulators on SEDAR+. Shareholders can request a free hard copy.
What does the transition to U.S. SEC reporting mean for investors?
Investors may benefit from a consistent, U.S.-style disclosure framework, including 10-K, 10-Q, and 8-K filings on EDGAR. That can make BAM easier to compare with other U.S.-listed asset managers. The filing itself does not state specific effects on financial metrics or valuation.
