SEC EDGAR Filing Fees
SEC filing fees are only applicable to certain filing types and are based on the number and value of securities involved. Visit the SEC web site to learn more about filing fees.
The filer should confirm the total amount of filing fees due by using our fee calculator. This amount should be forwarded to the SEC well in advance of the filing.
Paying SEC EDGAR Filing Fees
When a filer registers with the SEC, a bank account
is created automatically at the U.S. Bank in St. Louis, Missouri. The number
for this bank account is the same as the CIK code you
receive. When you submit an EDGAR filing that requires a fee, funds are automatically
debited from this account. If the funds in this account are inadequate at
the time of the filing, the filing will not be accepted. It is the responsibility
of the filer to ensure sufficient funds are in this account prior to filing
a document that requires a fee.
You can credit your account at the U.S. Bank via a delivery to lockbox or fedwire
to lockbox:

Note:
For time-sensitive Securities Act filings, registrants are advised to use wire transfer since the EDGAR system will be able to detect the fee promptly after it arrives at the lockbox. Fees that are mailed or delivered to the lockbox will not be relayed to the EDGAR system until 2 p.m. Eastern time each business day. Unused filing fees held in an account in which there has been no activity for 180 days will be automatically returned. Visit the SEC web site for more information.
Filing Fee FAQs
How exactly do I execute a wire transfer to the U.S. Bank?
We recommend the following:
-
Use our fee calculator and
confirm the amount of fees payable.
-
Execute the wire transfer using the instructions found on the SEC
web site.
Note:
-
Always wire more than what is required as hidden bank charges may be
deducted from the amount being transfered. An additional $100.00 usually
covers such fees.
Allow sufficient time to complete your fee transaction. It is recommended
fees are wired at least four business days in advance.
