A Form 6-K is used by foreign private issuers to report information required by their home country's laws, or that they make public in their home country, or that is distributed to their security holders. Indicating they file 'Form 20-F' means this is the form they use for their annual reports filed with the SEC, which is typical for foreign private issuers.
