Wisconsin Joint Filing of Rule 13d-1(f)(1) Agreement is a legal document that outlines the joint filing arrangement between multiple entities or individuals intending to collectively disclose their ownership of securities in compliance with Rule 13d-1(f)(1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Rule 13d-1(f)(1) requires any person or group who acquires beneficial ownership of more than 5% of a class of registered equity securities to file a disclosure with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). In Wisconsin, when multiple parties collectively own such securities, they can file a joint agreement to streamline the reporting process. This joint filing agreement specifies the responsibilities, rights, and obligations of the filing entities or individuals, ensuring their compliance with SEC regulations. It requires all parties to agree on a lead filer, who acts as the spokesperson and primary contact for the joint group. The lead filer holds the authority to make any amendments, modifications, or filings on behalf of the whole group. There are different types of Wisconsin Joint Filing of Rule 13d-1(f)(1) Agreement based on the nature of the filers. Some common types include: 1. Institutional Investors Agreement: This agreement is commonly utilized by institutional investors, such as mutual funds, pension funds, or investment firms, who join forces to collectively disclose their holdings in a particular security. 2.
