Frequently Asked Questions

SEC Order No. 4-460 was a requirement for principal executive and financial officers of public companies to submit sworn statements attesting to the accuracy of their company's financial reports. This was part of the SEC's response to accounting irregularities and a broader push for corporate accountability.

The 8-K filing does not disclose the specific content of the sworn statements. It only reports that they were submitted. The actual statements are provided as exhibits (99.1 and 99.2) to the 8-K filing and would need to be reviewed separately.
