The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has moved the deadline for submitting third-quarter financial statements to November 24, 2026, taking into account both a weekend and special holidays for the 49th ASEAN Summit.
Originally set for November 14, a Saturday, the deadline would normally have fallen the following Monday, November 16.
However, Proclamation No. 1447 declares November 16 to 18 special non-working days across the National Capital Region for the summit, making November 19 the next available business day. Companies that formally notify the SEC of their inability to file using SEC Form 17-L on or before November 19 will be given an additional five calendar days, giving them until November 24 to complete their submissions.
This adjustment applies to all publicly listed firms and other entities with registered securities supervised by the SEC’s Markets and Securities Regulation Department. The extension ensures businesses are not penalized for disruptions caused by the high-level regional gathering, while also maintaining orderly reporting schedules and market transparency for investors.
