Market activity

Ownership and acquisition activity

Confirmed transaction
1,497
Public transaction evidence identifies the ownership transaction, and usually the buyer. The source URL is on the row.
Likely ownership change
50
Structural observations on the filing strongly imply ownership changed (the plan sponsor of record became a holding or acquisition vehicle), but no announcement has been found. The rule and its measured precision are on the row.
Company transition
14,571
A meaningful company or plan transition occurred: a final filing then absence from the record, a final filing whose next year is not yet published, a sponsor rename or EIN change. The economic cause is unresolved and is not asserted.
Unresolved record departure
3,532
The company left the observable Form 5500 universe with no final filing and no successor EIN. Absence is observed; the cause is not, and a late filer can still reappear. Never counted as a transaction.
Not counted as activity.

Behind the filter

3,532 companies left the observable Form 5500 record with no final filing and no successor EIN. Absence is a fact about the record; the cause is not observed, and a late filer can reappear in a later edition. These rows are never counted as transactions and never appear in a sponsor history.
