Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Form 6-K filing?
A Form 6-K is a report filed by foreign private issuers with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). It is used to furnish reports and other information that the issuer has made or is required to make public in its home country or has distributed or made public to its security holders.
Does this filing contain any new financial results or operational updates for CP?
No, this specific Form 6-K filing from June 2015 does not contain any new financial results, operational updates, or material business events. It is primarily a procedural filing related to Canadian Pacific's status as a foreign private issuer.
Why is CP filing a Form 6-K instead of an 8-K?
Form 6-K is used by foreign private issuers for routine disclosures that are made public in their home jurisdiction. Form 8-K is used by U.S. domestic issuers (and some foreign private issuers who choose to file it) to report material events that occur between regular financial reports. This filing indicates CP is adhering to its standard foreign private issuer reporting obligations.
What does it mean that this report is incorporated by reference into Form S-8 registration statements?
This means that the information contained within this Form 6-K is considered part of the relevant S-8 registration statements, which are typically used by companies to register securities offered under employee benefit plans. This incorporation ensures that the disclosed information is continuously available to investors in the context of those employee stock offerings.
