NOTE:

Filing fees with respect to domestic registrants must be paid in accordance with the provisions of the Lockbox Rule (either by check or wire transfer) whether the filing is made electronically or in paper pursuant to a hardship exemption.
Include the Payor’s CIK (Corporate Account Number) on all fee payments. When paying fees, one payment can be used to pay for several filings provided that the tag is used to indicate from which account the funds are coming. Law firms acting as filing agents, for instance, use this method: they pay for the fees for all their clients, then bill the individual clients.
Wire transfers are not instantaneous. The time required to process a wire transfer through the FEDWIRE system, from origination to receipt by US Bank, varies substantially. It is important that all filers discuss with their bank or wire transfer service their unique procedures and timing.
The SEC© advises filers to allow sufficient time to complete all transactions prior to submission of filings registering securities. These filings will not be accepted if sufficient funds have not been received by the SEC© at the time of filing. Such filings include:
- Registration statements pursuant to 6(b) of the Securities Act of 1933 that provides for the registration of securities and mandates the receipt of the appropriate fee payment upon filing (e.g., filing submission types such as S-1, S-2, S-3, N-1A, N-2, F-1, F-2, and 24F-2NT); and
- Transactional filings pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (e.g., form types such as PRE CON, PREM14A* and PREM14C* (*except when filed by a registered investment company).
All filers are advised to obtain from their bank or wire transfer service the “FED” reference number of the wire transfer. Having this number can greatly facilitate tracing the funds if any problems do occur.
