Publicly traded bank w/ESOP and 11-K filing requirement.

[Guest TGinthe'Ville]

Can someone please advise as to where to find the requirements as to when a publicly traded bank's ESOP would need to file an 11-K? I am a little confused as whether the ESOP files the 11-K, or whether the disclosure is made on the bank's regular 11-K filing.

Thank you.

If the ESOP has registered securities (plan interests, employer securities or both), it probably is required to file an 11-K. How is it that the Bank has an 11-K requirement for itself? The nature of your questions suggests that you are not the one who should be providing answers to them. I don't mean to be mean, but the questions require a combination of expertise and knowledge of the facts rather than having someone provide a citation to you.

I second the comments by QDROphile.
