Valuation RE: EDGAR Closed on December 5

 

In connection with tomorrow’s national day of mourning in honor of President George H.W. Bush, the SEC has posted the following information on its website, available at https://www.sec.gov/oit/announcement/edgar-be-closed-wednesday-december-5-2018:

“On Wednesday, December 5, 2018, the federal government will be closed in observance of a national day of mourning for President George H.W. Bush. Consistent with Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) operation policy for federal holidays, the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval (EDGAR) system will be closed. Filings will not be accepted and the Filing Web Site will not be operational. In addition, the Filer Support Call Center will not be open. We will resume normal operation on Thursday morning, December 6, 2018.  Because December 5, 2018 will be treated as a federal holiday for filing purposes, any filings required to be made no later than December 5, 2018 will be considered timely if filed on or before December 6, 2018, the next business day.”

With respect to Form N-MFP, which must be filed not more than 5 business days after month end, the fifth business day in December will now be Monday, December 10, rather than Friday, December 7. Please note that SEC staff has indicated that filings made on December 10, although timely, might be marked “NT,” or “not timely,” because EDGAR has not been programmed to recognize December 5 as a holiday. The designation can be changed manually, but it may take a few days. Of course, December 10 is still the actual filing deadline.
