Canonical: https://sec-api.dev/sec-forms/form-5

> Form 5 is an annual report insiders use for certain transactions that were exempt from Form 4 or that should have been reported earlier. Many insiders never file one because they have nothing deferred to report.

## Who files it

Section 16 insiders with exempt or deferred transactions to report.

## Deadline

Within 45 days after the issuer’s fiscal year end.

## What it contains

- Small acquisitions and gifts eligible for deferred reporting
- Transactions not reported during the year

## Questions

**Why are Form 5 filings rare?** Most transactions must be reported on Form 4 within two business days, so only deferred or previously unreported items remain for Form 5.
